Two senior judges from the Miss Universe 2025 competition have resigned, citing concerns over the fairness of the contest. The resignations come amid growing allegations that the pageant’s outcomes may be manipulated. This marks the second major scandal to shake the competition this month, following an incident where an organizer publicly berated a contestant during the event. The controversy has sparked calls for an independent investigation into the pageant’s management and judging process.
The Miss Universe 2025 competition, held in Bangkok, has faced mounting criticism over its handling of controversial moments. The most recent incident saw an organizer confront a contestant on stage, which led to widespread backlash on social media. In response, the pageant’s organizers have issued statements denying the allegations of rigging, but the damage to its reputation has already begun. The resignations of the judges further underscore the crisis of confidence in the event’s integrity.
Industry insiders suggest that the scandals may have long-term implications for the pageant’s global reach and viewer trust. As the final stages of the competition approach, the organizers are under pressure to address the criticisms and restore faith in the event. The resignations of the judges highlight the deepening challenges facing the Miss Universe organization as it navigates a series of controversies that threaten its standing in the international beauty pageant landscape.
