As her reign as Miss Universe 2025 nears its end, Fátima Bosch is embroiled in a new controversy stemming from a year-old conflict with Nawat Itsaragrisil, the former head of Miss Universe Thailand. Itsaragrisil recently announced he has sought an arrest warrant for the Mexican beauty queen, accusing her of defamation, false accusations, and disseminating false information. The legal battle is linked to statements Bosch made in November 2025, following a leaked video, in which she accused Itsaragrisil of assaulting her. The dispute ignited during pre-pageant activities in Thailand when Itsaragrisil publicly questioned Bosch about promoting Thailand on social media. Tensions escalated when Bosch attempted to explain her position, leading Itsaragrisil to call security to escort her out. The confrontation, which was leaked online, concluded with Bosch leaving the room, later telling the media that Itsaragrisil had called her foolish. Following the public scandal, Raúl Rocha Cantú, president of the Miss Universe Organization, removed Itsaragrisil from his role and excluded him from most pageant activities, condemning his attitude towards Bosch and other candidates. Despite the ongoing legal proceedings, Bosch was crowned Miss Universe 2025, a victory that sparked debate among fans who speculated the controversy may have influenced the results. Thai police confirmed in November 2025 that they were investigating Itsaragrisil's complaint against Bosch.
