Response from Mexico’s President

Sheinbaum’s comments were shared widely on national media. The president also praised Bosch’s composure during the earlier confrontation, which had become a prominent topic online. The message sparked further support across the country as communities celebrated the outcome.
The Controversy in Thailand
The dispute began during a livestreamed sashing ceremony involving the Thai national director Nawat Itsaragrisil. He accused Bosch of failing to meet certain promotional activity requirements linked to the pageant schedule. The comments were made publicly, prompting Bosch to walk away from the event with other contestants following her in support.
The Miss Universe Organisation later addressed the matter. Its president, Raúl Rocha Cantú, described the exchange as an unacceptable public attack on the contestant. The Thai national director also issued an apology following mounting criticism. The incident remained a key discussion point as the competition approached its final stage.
Reaction Across Mexico
Bosch’s home state of Tabasco held gatherings where attendees watched the pageant live. Local reports described large crowds cheering as the final announcement aired. Many residents expressed pride in the 25-year-old’s achievement, with celebrations continuing through the night.

Events Surrounding the Pageant
This year’s pageant faced several challenges beyond the dispute involving Bosch. Two judges resigned before the final, with one claiming the event was rigged. Pageant officials rejected the claims and stated the competition was conducted appropriately. Thai authorities also looked into allegations of promotional links to online casinos, though no further action was reported during the event.
Despite the distractions, the final ceremony proceeded as planned. Contestants from various countries took part in the closing stages, and Mexico’s representative secured the final decision from the panel. The event concluded with the traditional crowning and the presentation of the winner’s sash.
