On November 5. 2025, Nawat Itsaragrisil, National Director of Miss Universe Thailand, apologized to Miss Universe delegates including Miss Philippines Athisa Manalo and over 120 other contestants after confronting Miss Mexico Fátima Bosch the previous day.

During the grand opening ceremony of the 74th Miss Universe pageant at Bravo BKK, Itsaragrisil publicly apologized for an incident where he had confronted Bosch about missing a sponsor shoot, causing her and several other delegates including reigning Miss Universe Victoria Kjær Theilvig to walk out of the November 4 sashing ceremony.

The opening ceremony took place at Bravo BKK in Bangkok, Thailand, where the pageant activities are being held before the final coronation at Impact Arena in Muang Thong Thani on November 21.

Itsaragrisil cited intense pressure from organizing the event and assured delegates he would strive to be the best host for this year's competition, aligning with the pageant's theme "The Power of Love." 

The Miss Universe Organization's President Raúl Rocha condemned the incident and restricted Itsaragrisil's future participation in official events.
