2 Runners-up strippe.d of title: one is welcomed by the 'world', the other is criticized by fans as 'uncool'

Revolving around two beauty contests that have been constantly involved in scandals, MU and MG, this year, two runners-up were strippe.d of their titles. However, the audience's reaction to the stripping of these two runners-up's titles was completely opposite.

On April 22, Opal Suchata was strippe.d of the 3rd runner-up title she had won in the 2024 season by Miss Universe. The decision was made after the Thai beauty was awarded a ticket to continue competing in the 2025 Miss World contest.

On its official website, the Miss Universe Organization (MUO) posted a notice stripping Opal Suchata Chuangsri of her third runner-up title from the 2024 pageant. MUO said that TPN Global (the organization that held the copyright for the Miss Universe pageant in Thailand and sent Opal to compete internationally last year) did not follow the established protocols when sending a "beauty queen" of Miss Universe to participate in another beauty pageant before the end of her term.

"For this reason, we have made the difficult decision to revoke the title of third runner-up from the winner, due to breach of her contractual obligations by participating in an outside beauty pageant. This decision underscores our expectation that all titleholders fulfill their duties throughout their tenure," the Miss Universe Organization stressed.

In addition, MUO announced that from May 1, 2025, the organization will promote and enforce strict regulations for national directors related to the above issue. "Our common goal is to empower the Miss Universe family to maintain mutual respect, trust and confidence among its members," the side emphasized.

Despite being strippe.d of her crown, Opal Suchata is still enthusiastically supported by audiences at home and abroad. The image of the beauty when announced as the representative of Thailand at Miss World 2025 quickly "exploded" in the media, gaining a large amount of interaction, leaving many competitors far behind. Not only that, Opal Suchata also quickly entered the top of the brightest candidates capable of competing for the "green crown".

On her personal page, the Thai beauty deleted her 3rd Runner-up - Miss Universe 2024 achievement and updated her new title, ready for the journey to "bring the bell to strike foreign lands".

Sharing the same situation as Opal Suchata, Thae Su Nyein also had her 2nd Runner-up title at Miss Grand International 2024 revoked. This incident happened just a few days after the Myanmar beauty achieved this achievement.

The incident did not stop at Thae Su Nyein throwing away the crown after the MGI final night. This 2007 beauty was originally considered a potential candidate for the highest position. However, during the contest, this beauty continuously got into scandals of cheating and attitude towards other contestants. Despite these scandals, Nawat still gave her the second runner-up title, causing public outrage. However, after the final, this beauty queen and GDQG Mynamar bluntly threw away the crown and left right after the final night. This made the audience even more angry because of the arrogan.t attitude of both.

After repeatedly proposing unacceptable reconciliation policies, the Miss Grand International side said that Thae Su Nyein "had inappropriate behavior, violating many regulations". To protect the respect for this international title, the MGI president decided to strip Thae Su Nyein of her second runner-up title.

Thae Su Nyein is also not very interested in this title. She bluntly declared that no one controlled her and that she made the decision to return the title herself. Thae Su Nyein said that she came to Miss Grand International to win the highest position, not for the title of runner-up.

Thae Su Nyein's actions quickly sparked controversy. The online community expressed their indignation and criticized the Myanmar beauty for being arrogan.t and competitive.

On January 8, beauty site Sash Factor named Thae Su Nyein as News Maker of the Year. This title seemed to be meant to be a joke, as she was the most controversial person of 2024, causing the international press to spend a lot of ink.

After this scanda.l, Thae Su Nyein's image was heavily "tainted", completely different from the beauty Opal Suchata.

MG Myanmar was strippe.d of the crown and refused Miss World, single-minded with Vietnam and Miss Cosmo?

Previously, she expressed her desire to continue the beauty contest after giving up the title of 2nd runner-up of Miss International Peace 2024.
