Tensions have erupted within the Miss Universe Organisation after reigning titleholder Victoria Kjær Theilvig walked away from a sashing ceremony in Thailand, following what witnesses described as the public 'humiliation' of Miss Mexico, Melissa Flores Bosch, by a senior official.
The incident took place during a live-streamed ceremony at the delegates' hotel in Bangkok, where Nawat Itsaragrisil, Vice President for Asia and Oceania within the Miss Universe Organisation, confronted Bosch about her absence from a sponsor shoot earlier that day.
