Two weeks after her crowning, F\u00e1tima Bosch, Miss Mexico who became Miss Universe 2025, finds herself at the center of a media storm. Accused of winning "a rigged competition," the young woman has decided to respond publicly to defend her integrity and that of the organization.<\/p>\n
On November 21, 2025, F\u00e1tima Bosch was crowned Miss Universe at the end of a ceremony already marked by palpable tension. A few days earlier, an altercation between the Mexican candidate and producer Nawat Itsaragrisil had indeed gone viral on social media, with him calling her a "dumb" (idiot).<\/p>\n
When F\u00e1tima Bosch finally won the title, some voices were immediately raised, alleging favoritism and a "rigged victory." One of the judges, Omar Harfouch, even resigned after the ceremony, denouncing a "secret vote" and calling F\u00e1tima Bosch a "fake winner." These statements ignited online debates and fueled suspicions of internal manipulation.<\/p>\n
Appearing on Good Morning America<\/a> on December 2nd, the new Miss Universe addressed the accusations directly. "Of course not,"<\/em> she declared, asserting that her success is based on the same hard work and effort as all her competitors. With a touch of humor, she added, "Maybe you can buy a crown at Walmart, but not at Miss Universe."<\/em> F\u00e1tima Bosch also refuted allegations that her father has business ties to Ra\u00fal Rocha, co-owner of the organization. "My father has nothing to do with that structure, it's absurd,"<\/em> she insisted.<\/p>\n For its part, the Miss Universe committee published a statement on November 19 via the BBC<\/a> , stating that "no external group was allowed to evaluate the delegates or select the finalists"<\/em> . <\/p>\n\n
