Fátima Bosch says the legal case involving Nawat Itsaragrisil has not reached her formally. The current Miss Universe said she has received no notification of the lawsuit that the president of the Miss Universe Thailand Host Committee allegedly filed against her for defamation and accusations.
Bosch made the comments after traveling from Los Cabos, Baja California Sur, to Mexico City, where she was due to catch a flight to Rome. With roughly a month and a half left in her reign, she continues to carry out duties connected to her coronation.
I have not received anything to this day, not a single notification of any lawsuit.
The dispute began after an incident on Nov. 4. Bosch said Itsaragrisil called her “stupid,” while he has argued that he used the phrase “you will harm yourself.” She initially avoided Mexican media at the Mexico City airport, saying she was hurrying to check her luggage. She later spoke with reporters who questioned her about the lawsuit.
What happened that day was recorded, everyone saw it. Unfortunately, many people have to use my name to create controversy and make themselves relevant.
Bosch maintained that video recordings support her account. “What happened that day was recorded, everyone saw it. Unfortunately, many people have to use my name to create controversy and make themselves relevant,” she said. She added: “As a society, we should reflect that, in the 21st century, demanding basic respect for a woman should not still shock us. All I can tell you is that I am fine and focused on my work.”
She declined to make further comments about Itsaragrisil or anyone else. Bosch is expected to hand over her crown to the next beauty queen, who will be announced in November in Puerto Rico.
As a society, we should reflect that, in the 21st century, demanding basic respect for a woman should not still shock us. All I can tell you is that I am fine and focused on my work.
