(ABC36 NEWS NOW) – A new Miss Universe has been crowned, and the title goes to Miss Mexico, Fatima Bosch. She claimed the crown during this year’s pageant held in Thailand, following a dramatic and highly publicized run-up to the event.

Earlier this month, Bosch faced controversy when a Miss Universe official criticized her during a livestreamed pre-pageant meeting, accusing her of not posting enough promotional content on social media. When Bosch pushed back, the official called security to escort her from the room — a move that sparked a walkout by several other contestants in solidarity.

Despite the turbulence, Bosch returned to the competition and ultimately captured the Miss Universe title. Miss Thailand finished as first runner-up, and Miss Venezuela placed third.
