Mexico’s Fatima Bosch wins Miss Universe 2025

A 25-year-old beauty queen won the 2025 Miss Universe pageant after walking out in November, when a Thai official publicly chastised her in front of other competitors and threatened to penalise anyone who supported her.

A week after that abrupt turn of events, two judges resigned, with one accusing the pageant organisers of manipulating the results.

The outcome of the competition intensified the dispute, as the announcement of Miss Mexico’s victory immediately sparked division on social media.

Alongside those who had supported her exit, many Mexicans hailed her win. However, some questioned whether the crown was awarded as a form of atonement by the organisers for their earlier actions.
