The final countdown to the Miss Universe 2025 pageant in Bangkok, Thailand, has been catastrophically derailed by a crisis of integrity, culminating in the swift, high-profile resignations of two of its judges. The pageant, which prides itself on transparency and global representation, has been plunged into chaos just days before the 21 November finale.
The crisis began with musician Omar Harfouch, who announced his bombshell withdrawal from the selection committee, alleging that the Top 30 finalists had already been chosen by a covert 'impromptu jury.'
