Victoria Theilvig Walks Out of Miss Universe Ceremony in Bangkok After Fellow Contestant Miss Mexico Faces Public Reprimand

Drama erupted at this year’s Miss Universe pageant in Bangkok, Thailand, when Danish titleholder Victoria Theilvig dramatically walked out of a ceremony after witnessing what she called disrespectful treatment of her fellow contestant, Miss Mexico, Melissa Flores Bosch.

The incident occurred at the delegates’ hotel during the sashing ceremony, which was being live-streamed online.

Public Reprimand Sparks Controversy

The controversy began when Nawat Itsaragrisil, Vice President for Asia and Oceania within the Miss Universe Organization, publicly confronted Bosch over missing a sponsor shoot earlier that day.

In the footage shared on the official Miss Universe Thailand Facebook page, Nawat can be heard telling Bosch to stand and “explain herself” in front of the other contestants.

When Bosch hesitated, saying she did not want to be publicly reprimanded, Nawat reportedly interrupted her, calling her “dumb” and ordering security to escort her out.

As tensions escalated, several other contestants appeared ready to walk out in solidarity.

Theilvig Leads Walkout

Victoria Theilvig was among those who left the room, later explaining on camera that she could not stay. “This is about women’s rights,” she said.

“We have respect for everyone, but this is not how things can be handled.

To trash another girl—it’s beyond disrespectful, and it’s nothing I’ve ever done. That’s why I’m taking my coat and I’m going.”

The clip quickly went viral, earning praise from fans, former contestants, and influencers.

Many called Theilvig’s actions “the most empowering act in Miss Universe history,” applauding her integrity and courage.

Divided Reactions Online

While some lauded Theilvig’s stand, others argued she overstepped protocol, disrupting an official event.

A few Thai fans suggested Nawat’s comments may have been mistranslated or taken out of context, defending the pageant official’s actions.

In response, the Miss Universe Organization, now owned by Thailand-based JKN Global Group, released a statement saying, “All scheduled events and activities will continue as planned, reaffirming our shared goal of delivering an exceptional celebration that reflects the values of diversity, empowerment, and inclusion.”

Broader Criticism of the Organization

The incident reignited concerns over contestant treatment and transparency within the organization.

Critics have long highlighted what they describe as a toxic culture of public shaming behind the pageant’s glitzy exterior.

Adding to the controversy, some fans expressed skepticism over this year’s Miss Cuba winner, Lina Luaces, 22, who is the daughter of Univision host Lili Estefan and related to music producer Emilio Estefan and singer Gloria Estefan.

Many social media users called her win “nepotistic” and questioned the fairness of the competition, sparking heated online debates.

Pageant Under Scrutiny

From the Bangkok walkout to allegations of influential family connections, this year’s Miss Universe pageant has seen a surge in public scrutiny.

The events underscore the challenges of balancing glamour and competition while maintaining fairness and respect for the contestants.

While Hugh Jackman was busy charming fans outside a New York theatre, where he’s starring in Sexual Misconduct of the Middle Classes, his personal life was stirring up quite the storm back home. The 55-year-old actor was spotted smiling for selfies, casually dressed with dark sunglasses, before hopping on his bike — but there’s more going on beneath the surface than just a sunny day in the Big Apple. Deborra-Lee Furness Plans to Tell Her Side of the Story The twist? Hugh’s estranged wife, Australian actress Deborra-Lee Furness, is reportedly gearing up to publish a raw and revealing “divorce diary.” After officially filing for divorce last month, ending their 27-year marriage, Deborra-Lee seems ready to share the emotional highs and heartbreaking lows of their split. Sources say she’s been meticulously writing down every detail of this difficult journey, determined to have her voice heard. Once the divorce is legally final, she plans to explore publishing deals that will bring her story to the public. A Heartbreaking Public Statement Sparks Interest Deborra-Lee made headlines with a heartfelt public statement where she spoke openly about her “traumatic journey of betrayal.” She expressed deep empathy for others going through similar pain and reflected on the spiritual strength that’s helped her cope. Her words were thoughtful and introspective, highlighting the wisdom she’s gained and emphasizing the importance of living with integrity and boundaries after such a profound life change. She closed with the idea that “none of this is personal,” a message that resonated with many but also hinted at underlying tensions. Behind the Scenes, a Memoir Could Shake Things Up While Deborra-Lee is keeping a calm front publicly, insiders reveal she’s preparing to reclaim her narrative through a brutally honest memoir. This book might dive into the intricacies of the split, including Hugh Jackman’s new relationship with Broadway star Sutton Foster. A source close to Deborra-Lee told New Idea that she “won’t be silenced” and is committed to sharing her truth, which could include revealing details that fans have only speculated about until now. New Romance and Family Tensions Speaking of Sutton Foster, the 50-year-old Broadway star is reportedly feeling the strain as Hugh tries to bring her into the family fold. Hugh and Deborra-Lee share two adopted children, Oscar, 25, and Ava, 19, and sources say Hugh wants Sutton to bond with them — but Sutton is cautious about moving too fast. According to insiders, Sutton has asked Hugh to slow things down, especially with important family events like Oscar’s recent birthday and Ava’s upcoming one in July. She seems wary of rushing introductions while the divorce remains unsettled and the atmosphere around the family still feels tense. What Lies Ahead for This High-Profile Split? If Deborra-Lee’s memoir comes to fruition, it will likely be one of the most talked-about celebrity books in recent years. With decades of Hollywood experiences, personal struggles, and a headline-making divorce to unpack, publishers are surely eager for the opportunity. Meanwhile, Hugh Jackman has stayed quiet publicly about the split but reportedly feels “extremely disappointed” by Deborra-Lee’s comments. A source revealed there was an unspoken agreement between them not to air their grievances in public — a promise that now seems broken, albeit without direct name-calling. Hugh Jackman Continues His New York Stage Run Despite the personal turmoil, Hugh has remained professional and engaged with fans during his New York City theatre stint. His ability to balance public appearances with private challenges shows his dedication to his craft — even as his personal life plays out in the headlines.
