Legal conflict between Nawat Itsaragrisil and Miss Universe Fátima Bosch
Thai businessman Nawat Itsaragrisil, who played a key role in organizing the 2025 edition of Miss Universe, has initiated legal proceedings to request an arrest warrant against the current queen, the Mexican Fátima Bosch. The information was confirmed by the executive himself through his digital platforms on August 22nd.
According to what was stated by the businessman, the measure seeks to proceed legally for alleged crimes of defamation and the dissemination of false information. According to reports, the request filed with the authorities at the Wat Phraya Krai police station in Bangkok includes alleged evidence supporting his accusations, although no additional details have been provided regarding the current status of the legal process.
Background of a fractured relationship
The tension between the CEO and the model from Tabasco dates back to the activities prior to the pageant’s grand finale. The conflict erupted when Bosch reported having received insults from the executive, who allegedly questioned her for her lack of promotion for Thailand, the host country of the event. While the model claimed she was called a “bimbo,” the businessman has categorically denied having used that expression.
This dispute, which also included allegations of irregularities in the pageant, led to Nawat’s subsequent disassociation from the Miss Universe organization.
Asking for respect is not a provocation. It should never result in months of intimidation. Today it is my turn, but my wish is that no woman has to go through it.
