Miss Universe Denies Winning Because Of Her Father Or Bullying Controversy
HuffPost
Meanwhile, a Miss Universe judge stepped down, claiming that people who were not on the jury held a "secret vote."
The newly crowned Miss Universe, Fátima Bosch, this week addressed the rumor that she was picked to win the competition because she stood up to a pageant official who called her a “dumb head.”
During the first day of the Miss Universe pageant in Thailand last month, Nawat Itsaragrisil, a pageant executive and Thai media personality, got into an argument with Bosch over a sponsorship event, calling her a “dumb head.” Itsaragrisil tried to call security on Bosch, but instead, Bosch walked out in protest, and several other Miss Universe contestants followed her in support.
The moment went viral, and after Bosch, who represented Mexico, was crowned Miss Universe on Nov. 21, some accused the pageant of favoring her because of the incident.
“I think I made history, so why not,” Bosch told ABC News in an interview that aired Tuesday on whether she was rewarded for speaking out. “But of course, no, I make the same effort that all the pageant [contestants] make, and this is our job.”
Bosch said Itsaragrisil wanted to “humiliate” her and that she was “scared” to stand up to him at the time.
