Miss Jamaica took a shocking tumble during the Miss Universe preliminary evening gown round in Thailand.
Dr. Gabrielle Henry was strolling across the stage in a long, flowing orange gown when she suddenly fell off the stage, as seen in social media video of the incident. Another social media video from the pageant shows a person being taken away in a stretcher.
In a statement to USA TODAY on Wednesday, Nov. 19, the Miss Universe Organization noted its president, Raúl Rocha Cantú, has visited Henry and reports she is in stable condition after sustaining "a couple of minor wounds." She is receiving treatment at a hospital in Bangkok, where she will remain under observation overnight.
"I was there with her family and her, and thankfully, there are no broken bones and she is under good care," Cantú also wrote in an Instagram post.
The 28-year-old physician and advocate was set to compete at the 74th annual pageant on Friday, Nov. 21, which is already scandal-ridden.
In early November, the organization was criticized after Miss Universe Thailand director Nawat Itsaragrisil called Miss Mexico, Fátima Bosch, "stupid" during a livestreamed speech to contestants on Nov. 4. Miss Universe Mexico subsequently characterized the events, which included a walkout from fellow contestants, as "unacceptable." Despite Itsaragrisil's tearful apology, Cantú, the president of the pageant, responded to the backlash by announcing a series of sanctions restricting and almost completely excluding Itsaragrisil from the events of the 74th pageant.
Then on Tuesday, Nov. 18, a judge for the pageant suddenly dropped out ahead of the event. Composer Omar Harfouch made several accusations about the integrity of the organization's global competition, including that an "impromptu jury" selected finalists without the presence of the eight "real jury members" and that he had a "disrespectful conversation" with Cantú regarding the "lack of transparency in the Miss Universe voting process." The organization has publicly denied his accusations.
