Miss Universe Thailand 1st Runner-up 'disturbed' the Organizing Committee, demanded prize mone.y, and revealed shocking truth

The Thai beauty industry has just been stirred up when Surisa Suzana Renaud - 1st runner-up of Miss Universe Thailand 2024 publicly criticized the contest organizers for not paying her prize mone.y, even though 8 months have passed since she was crowned.

On her personal page, Suri revealed that she had contacted the organizers many times via text messages, emails, and even phone calls, but had not received any response from the organizers. She also expressed her disappointment when her management company, TPN Global, completely abandoned her after the competition, not supporting her in participating in events.

In response to the wave of criticism, Ms. Pui - President of TPN Global - livestreamed to explain. According to her, Suri violated the contract, causing the company to decide not to pay this bonus. Ms. Pui counter-accused the 1st runner-up that she often canceled her schedule, rarely attended events, and affected the company's reputation. In addition, Suri was given the opportunity to compete internationally but refused, and also promoted her competitor's products on her personal platform.

In response, Suri asserted that she had legitimate reasons for not being able to attend some events and emphasized that participating in activities without financial support from the company forced her to consider. The beauty also revealed that the invitation to compete internationally came with the condition of fully covering the expenses, which she could not meet. The only thing she wanted was to receive the prize mone.y worthy of the title she achieved. "I just want a fair and clear ending," she said indignantly.

This scanda.l reminds the public of TPN Global's previous scanda.l. Miss Universe Thailand 2019 - Fahsai once spoke out to accus.e the company of being unprofessional and not supporting her after achieving Top 5 Miss Universe 2019. She even had to take a motorbike taxi to the event herself because she did not receive any support from the Organizing Committee.

During the period from 2020 to 2024, despite being one of Thailand's highest-achieving beauty queens at Miss Universe, Fahsai was still left out of major events, not invited to participate in training contestants or appear in the organization's media campaigns.

Currently, TPN Global has lost the copyright of Miss Universe Thailand to Mr. Nawat - President of Miss Grand International, making international beauty fans surprised. Under this unit, Thailand has achieved many impressive achievements at Miss Universe, especially the title of 1st Runner-up of Anntonia Porsild in 2023 - a historical milestone after more than 3 decades.

However, upon taking over the copyright, Mr. Nawat quickly issued a ban on contestants who had participated in competitions organized by TPN Global, including Miss Thailand and Miss Global. This means that many talented beauties will lose the opportunity to compete in the Miss Universe Thailand arena in the future.

With the right to organize the Miss Universe 2025 pageant, Nawat's MGI organization is expected to earn about 378 billion VND. Previously, Mr. Nawat opened ticket sales to meet the reigning Miss Universe 2024 Victoria Kjær Theilvig for about 4.4 million VND. Ticket buyers will meet and take photos with Victoria Kjær Theilvig.

Previously, Mr. Nawat spent 5.4 million USD (about 136 billion VND) to own the copyright of Miss Universe Thailand from 2025-2029. The information shocked many people because before that, Mr. Nawat publicly expressed his attitude of attacking the Miss Universe contest. In an interview, Mr. Nawat revealed that he flew to New York to discuss with Ms. Paula Shugart - former president of the Miss Universe Organization - about buying the copyright of Miss Universe Thailand but was refused.

After the meeting, Mr. Nawat cherished the idea of buying the copyright of Miss Universe Thailand. "There will come a day when I have to win against this Westerner," Mr. Nawat shared.

After taking control of Miss Universe Thailand, Mr. Nawat implemented a series of plans to commercialize the contest. Many beauty fans expressed concern that the Miss Universe Thailand and Miss Universe pageants would be corrupted after falling into the hands of Mr. Nawat.
