MU's Cambodian representative cried, accusing Thai staff of looking down on him

Miss Universe exploded after a video clip captured the moment the Cambodian beauty burst into tears backstage after being mocked and disrespected by two Thai media staff members right in front of her.

According to witnesses, while Fiyata was preparing for the group photo, the two staff members spoke to each other in Thai, saying that she "did not qualify for Miss Universe" and "was only selected because of the Southeast Asia quota." They thought that the Cambodian representative did not understand Thai, but in fact, Fiyata heard and understood the insults completely.

Unable to contain her emotions, the beauty born in 2001 burst into tears on the spot. The image of Fiyata in tears, trying to stay calm among the contestants made the beauty fan community extremely heartbroken. After only a few hours, the clip spread across forums, causing a wave of anger towards two members of the Thai media team.

According to information from the Missology Cambodia fanpage, this is not the first time Fiyata has been treated disrespectfully. Previously, she had been the victim of similar behavior twice - being ridiculed for her appearance and doubting her English ability. After the latest incident, the beauty officially spoke up in the internal chat group of Miss Universe contestants, sending a distress message with the content: "I don't know what to do anymore. I've tried to be sociable, but it seems like someone always wants to hurt me."

Fiyata's move immediately drew sympathy from many other contestants in the competition. Representatives from Barbados, Bahamas, Chile, Peru, Haiti and Nigeria all spoke up to defend her, asking the Organizing Committee to take strong measures against the contestant's offensive behavior. The Barbados representative wrote in the group: "We are here to shine together, not to hurt each other. No one deserves to be disrespected like that."

The international beauty community also joined in. A series of major forums such as Global Beauties, Pageant Updates and Missosology simultaneously shared the incident, asking the Miss Universe Organizing Committee to protect the fairness and dignity of the contestants. Some specialized sites in Thailand admitted that the incident is seriously affecting the image of the host country, especially when the media team involved is an official partner of the contest.

In the face of the backlash, on the evening of November 11, the Miss Universe Organizing Committee sent an official message to all contestants. Accordingly, the Miss Universe Organizing Committee confirmed that it was aware of the situation and would be present in Pattaya to directly resolve the issue of the Cambodian representative, as well as ensure a safe competition environment for the beauties.

Meanwhile, Miss Universe Cambodia posted a brief statement, thanking international audiences for their concern and affirming that Fiyata is now mentally stable. The incident is still a hot topic on many global beauty forums. The phrase #JusticeForCambodia is being shared hundreds of thousands of times. Many people are calling on Miss Universe worldwide to tighten the code of conduct in the international competition environment, ensuring that all contestants are treated equally and with respect.

The drama between Miss Cambodia and the Thai team not only exposed the dark side behind the scenes of beauty pageants but also made the conflict between factions at Miss Universe 2025 more intense than ever. Since the start of the contest, almost every day there have been scandals and troubles surrounding the organizers as well as the contestants, shaking the public.
