Miss Universe was criticized for "alum", out of time: "down the brakes" because of the new owner?

Thai billionaire Anne Jakkaphong Jakrajutatip bought the Miss Universe Organization from IMG last year. After taking power, she always expressed her desire to turn the 70-year legacy of the beauty pageant into a true "women's empowerment platform".

However, besides the support, the organizers of Miss Universe under the new owner have continuously encountered many controversies and criticisms. Many beauty fans believe that Anne is making the pageant's reputation "go downhill", and not raising the value of the pageant as she has claimed in front of the media.

Recently, the Miss Universe homepage received a series of comments expressing disappointment at the news that the pageant finale will be broadcast live on Roku and Telemundo channels.

Worth mentioning, the recognition of Roku - a streaming platform in the US for fans is extremely strange. Although it aired Miss Universe 2022, this could not make the public feel satisfied instead of choosing a big, well-known TV channel such as NBC, CBS,...

Previously, the Miss Universe finale was often televised live on FOX. However, in recent years, viewership ratings have continuously declined. This partly shows that Miss Universe is cooling down a lot compared to before.

Just posting the article in a few hours, Miss Universe was quickly left many mixed comments by netizens under the comment section. International beauty fans think, is Miss Universe really out of time when it has to air on an unknown TV channel?

Some people left comments expressing their frustration as follows:

"I'm waiting for ABC, CBS, NBC, and then Roku (sorry but I don't even know that channel)."

"It's not fair to stop playing on TV like it used to. Many places are also not available to watch on YouTube. Get back on a big TV channel."

"I think the stage will be as disappointing as last year, sadly, the new owner just wants to do business through the Miss Universe organization and get attention from the public."

On the other hand, many beauty fans are concerned that Telemundo, a major and influential broadcaster in the Americas, will likely affect the final result. The proof is that in 2020, when Telemundo partnered with the Miss Universe organization, that year's Top 5 only went to four American representatives: Mexico (Miss), Brazil, Peru and the Dominican Republic.

This is not the first time that the Miss Universe organizers have received a lot of backlash from the beauty community - not long ago, during the press conference on July 17 - announcing the new Miss Universe branded drink, the Miss Universe organizers were also criticized as unprofessional.

Specifically, at the event, while Mrs. Anne Jakrajutatip (CEO) presented on stage, the rear screen ran images of Miss Universe through each period. However, when it came to the image of Miss Universe 2013, the logistics department of the organizers allowed mistakes to occur.

Accordingly, instead of showing the image of Miss Universe 2013 - Gabriela Isler, on the screen is the image of Miss Universe Spain 2014.

This incident caused a stir among fans on the beauty forum. Many viewers on Pageantry News International expressed disappointment with the unprofessional organization of the Miss Universe organizers.

It is known that the premiere was held at the Iconsiam shopping center in Bangkok, Thailand. The event was attended by beauty queens, besides the reigning Miss Universe, several other former contestants were also present, such as Miss Universe Thailand 2022 Anna Sueangam-iam, Miss Universe India 2022 Divita Rai and Miss Universe Bahrain 2022 Evlin Khalifa.

In addition, during this press conference, Miss Universe 2022 also caused a stir on social media when she appeared with a makeup that is said to be cheesy. R'Bonney Gabriel quickly received criticism from many beauty fans.

The American beauty appeared with an elaborate white dress and a well-made face. However, R'Bonney Gabriel's blue eyebrush, red lips and blush were judged to be cheesy.

In particular, when pitted against other beauties at the event, R'Bonney Gabriel is said to be less sharp. Fans on many beauty forums left comments disparaging R'Bonney Gabriel's beauty.

Miss Universe 2023 is scheduled to be held this coming November, in the country of El Salvador. This year will be attended by 80 contestants. R'Bonney Gabriel from the US will hand over the crown to his successor. Currently, Vietnam has not found an official representative.
