Miss Universe 2025 Fátima Bosch faces arrest warrant request from pageant host

Nawat Itsaragrisil, the Thai entrepreneur who hosted the 2025 Miss Universe pageant, announced on August 22 that he is accelerating procedures to obtain an arrest warrant for the current Miss Universe, Mexico's Fátima Bosch.

Asking for respect is not a provocation

The dispute between Itsaragrisil and Bosch reportedly began during the pre-pageant events for Miss Universe 2025. Bosch accused Itsaragrisil of insulting her after he allegedly criticized her for not promoting Thailand, the host country. She claimed he called her a "hollow head," an accusation Itsaragrisil denies. The conflict escalated, leading to Bosch alleging fraud in the pageant after her coronation. Itsaragrisil subsequently separated from the Miss Universe organization amidst the controversy.

No woman should have to face intimidation for defending her dignity

In response to the impending arrest warrant, Bosch took to social media, stating, "Asking for respect is not a provocation." She emphasized that no woman should endure intimidation for defending her dignity. The Miss Universe organization has issued a statement supporting Bosch, condemning harassment and intimidation. Bosch, nearing the end of her reign, has previously spoken about the alleged harassment she faced following her win. The organization's statement, titled "Statement in support of Fátima Bosch and the dignity of women," affirmed that participants should not have to compromise their integrity to achieve a title.
