Miss Universe contestants walk out on executive…
Miss Universe contestants barged out of a pre-pageant event as they protested an executive who called one contender a “dummy” and ordered her removing during a heated exchange caught on digital camera.
Nawat Itsaragrisil, an executive director of Miss Universe Organization, berated Miss Mexico, Fátima Bosch, in entrance of her fellow magnificence queens after she didn’t take part in a social media shoot, claiming she had “no respect.”
Itsaragrisil, a Thai businessman tasked with overseeing the pageant in his home nation, confronted the elegantly dressed individuals during the annual sash ceremony on Tuesday, questioning why some didn’t participate in a sponsorship shoot.

Miss Universe Thailand live-streamed the pre-event convention on Facebook, capturing the surprising beratement.
Instead of welcoming the sweetness queens and explaining the event, the angered businessman called out Bosch and accused the contestants of not following the foundations.
Itsaragrisil then immediately accused Bosch, asking her to stand and clarify her absence.
“Mexico, where are you? He asked, prompting Bosch to out herself. “I heard you’re not going to support everything about Thailand, is that true?”
Itsaragrisil accused Bosch of listening to the Miss Mexico administrators instead of his Miss Universe staff in Thailand.

The tense exchange lasted for 4 minutes before Itsaragrisil called Bosch a “dummy,” sparking fury from the ladies.
“I still keep talking to everybody, why you still stand up to talk to me,” Itsaragrisil questioned Bosch
“Because I have a voice,” she said. “You are not respecting me as a woman.”
Itsaragrisil, unable to quiet his opposer, called for security to take him out of the room as the remainder of the contestants bemoaned the choice.
“As women, you need to show respect for us. I’m here representing a country and it’s not my fault that you have problems with me organization,” Bosch exclaimed as she walked out of the room.
Over a dozen other individuals — including the current Miss Universe Victoria Kjær Theilvig — stood up and walked out of the room in a show of solidarity with Bosch.
“Sit down. If anyone wants to continue the contest sit down,” Itsaragrisil said in a veiled menace.
Bosch later told reporters she was upset with Itsaragrisil because he called her “stupid” over his points with the group, according to the Miami Herald.
“I don’t think that’s fair. I’m here doing everything right — I don’t bother anyone, I try to be kind, I’m doing my best — and he told me to shut up,” she said.

Theilvig blasted the executive’s public reprimand of Bosch, calling for respect to all contestants.
“This is about girls’s rights,’ she told reporters Tuesday. “I’m so sorry, we need to do one thing larger. We have respect for everybody, but this isn’t how issues will be dealt with.
Theilvig vowed not to return to the sash ceremony after the walk-out.
“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,” she said.
“This is about women’s rights,” Theilvig said on Instagram. “I’m so sorry, we need to do something bigger. 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.”

Miss Universe President Raúl Rocha Cantú admitted that Itsaragrisil “humiliated, insulted and he showed a lack of respect, in addition to the serious abuse of having called security to intimidate a defenseless woman, trying to silence and exclude her.”
Cantú announced that he was sending newly elected CEO Mario Búcaro to Thailand to oversee the rest of the pageant occasions, limiting Itsaragrisil’s participation in the competitors that will culminate with the crowning ceremony on Nov. 20.

“NO MORE NAWAT. He needs to be OUT. You need to take action against him. This is moment to protect our traditional and loved pageant,” one Instagram remark read.
“Hold @nawat.tv accountable disrespecting contestants and telling them that if they walked out they were not going to be part of the contest is not ok,” another said.
Itsaragrisil spoke out on the controversy to his Instagram followers Wednesday morning.
“I invested and tried my best to make this event fair to everyone but it’s hard to control because the daily events of being posted makes it harder for him to reach the miss,” he wrote. “Sorry universe fans I can only do this because my patience has a limit. Sorry again if I make anyone uncomfortable watching.”
