Miss Grand Venezuela gave up the crown due to lack of funds, profile causes regret

According to information posted by the beauty website Miss Venezuela Deluxe, Tina Batson - Miss Grand Venezuela 2025 has officially given up the crown because she does not have enough funds to pay for the copyright to compete internationally.

Specifically, Tina Batson was crowned the highest position at the Miss Grand Venezuela contest and won the right to represent her homeland at Miss Grand International 2025. However, to realize her dream of bringing bells to a foreign land, Tina Batson had to spend 100,000 USD, equivalent to about 2.5 billion VND.

This is a huge expense for Tina Batson. It is known that she has paid half of the amount to the copyright holder of Miss Grand International in Venezuela, but has not been able to manage the rest. Meanwhile, the deadline for paying the international competition copyright fee given by the Miss Grand Venezuela Organizing Committee is before February 28, 2025.

Tina Batson is 25 years old and 1m73 tall. She is a commercial pilot and a psychology student. Tina can communicate fluently in Spanish, English and German.

Previously, she represented Venezuela at Miss Teen International 2018 and won the title of 4th runner-up. After being crowned Miss Grand Venezuela 2025, she actively trained and improved her figure to prepare for the international arena.

Venezuela is a strong "sash" in world beauty pageants. At Miss Grand International alone, the country was crowned in 2019, when Valentina Figuera won. In the same season, Vietnamese representative Nguyen Ha Kieu Loan also made an impression when finishing in the Top 10.

In 2025, this beauty pageant also received additional information that the President of Miss Grand Indonesia suddenly announced that she would not send a representative to participate in Miss Grand International 2025, causing a stir on beauty forums.

On December 2, Mr. Ivan Gunawan - President of Miss Grand Indonesia - announced on his personal page that he would not send a representative to attend Miss Grand International 2025.

"As the founder and national director of several international beauty pageants, I would like to announce that there will be no Miss Mega Bintang Indonesia pageant in 2025 and we no longer hold any international beauty pageant license until further notice," Ivan said.

Mega Bintang Indonesia is a contest founded and organized by Mr. Ivan Gunawan, to find representatives to attend the annual Miss Grand International arena. Sharing the reason behind this decision, he said: "This decision was made after careful consideration, without any external pressure. In the future, we will shift our focus to other areas."

The news that Indonesia will not send a representative to Miss Grand International 2025 has caused a stir on beauty forums. Many viewers believe that the relationship between Mr. Ivan and Mr. Nawat - President of Miss Grand International - has broken down.

"The relationship between the two presidents has cracked", "It would be a pity if Indonesia quits the Miss Grand pageant because they always send strong contestants", "With Nawat's way of working, many other countries will give up copyright"... are comments from the audience.

Previously, Mr. Ivan and Mr. Nawat had a close relationship after successfully coordinating the organization of the Miss Grand International 2022 pageant in Indonesia.

Indonesia is also an Asian country with impressive achievements in Miss Grand over the years. The reigning Miss Grand Indonesia 2024 Nova Liana won the 4th runner-up position at Miss Grand International 2024 held in Thailand.

Previously, beauty Ritassya Wellgreat won 5th runner-up at Miss Grand International 2023 held in Vietnam. In 2022, beauty Andina Julie won 2nd runner-up at Miss Grand International held in her home country of Indonesia.

Ivan Gunawan is considered a powerful man, helping Indonesian beauty to rise in rank and maintain its form for many consecutive years at the Miss Grand pageant.

Mr. Ivan Gunawan's move came after the president announced that he would organize an international beauty pageant called Miss Mega World. Many viewers believe that Mr. Ivan will not send a representative to compete in Miss Grand International 2025 to focus on the new pageant he founded.
