Miss Universe Chile apologizes for revealing shocking clip, the possibility of withdrawing herself

According to the Telegraph, Chile's representative at the Miss Universe 2025 contest, Inna Moll , has officially apologized publicly after a video of her pretending to inhale a white powder went viral on social media, causing international outrage.

Specifically, in the now-deleted clip, the 28-year-old beauty dabbles white chalk on her wrist and leans over as if she is inhaling a banned substance on the background of singer Shakira's Addicted to You. The video was filmed in Bangkok (Thailand), where Inna Moll is staying to attend this year's Miss Universe contest.

As soon as the clip was widely shared, a wave of criticism quickly exploded. A series of viewers think that Inna Moll's actions are not standard, inconsistent with the image and responsibility of a contestant in the international beauty arena. Some also think that this video may damage the image of Chile, the country she is representing.

In response to the backlash from the public, Inna Moll apologized through a video posted on her personal Instagram. She said that she had no intention of offending anyone and regretted not thinking carefully before making the clip.

"I should have refused and not made that video. The idea came from the makeup artist I work with. Maybe it's because of the language barrier that I don't fully understand the idea. I initially refused, but he insisted and I complied. I should have said no," Inna Moll shared.

The beauty also admitted that this was a big lesson in her journey, and apologized to the organizers, fans and the Chilean public for the unfortunate incident. She also reshared a fan post with the content: "We can't erase mistakes, because if we do, we will repeat them. Let's turn them into lessons for growth."

Not only Inna Moll, makeup artist Taratorn Aek – who is said to have come up with the idea to make the clip also posted a public apology. He wrote: "I sincerely apologize to Miss Chile and everyone who loves her. What I did was thoughtless, completely without the intention of insulting the contestants or the national image. I take responsibility and make sure this doesn't happen again."

Inna Moll's incident makes the Miss Universe 2025 contest even more tense, as this is not the first scandal to occur this season. Previously, Mr. Nawat Itsaragrisil, Director of the Miss Universe Thailand contest, also caused a stir when he reprimanded Miss Mexico, Fátima Bosch, right at the contestant welcome event, which was broadcast live on the organizers' Facebook.

According to the accounts of many witnesses, Mr. Nawat said that Miss Mexico did not actively promote the contest on social networks like other contestants. This statement was immediately seen as insensitive and unprofessional, prompting Fátima Bosch to leave the event in protest. Her actions led many other contestants to stand up and leave, creating an atmosphere of tension unprecedented in the history of Miss Universe.

In the face of the backlash of the international community, Mr. Nawat posted a public apology, saying that he did not intend to offend anyone: "I respect all the contestants and am very sorry for what happened. I hope everyone understands that I always want to bring the most friendly and fair atmosphere to the contest."

In the midst of a series of consecutive noises, the organizers of Miss Universe 2025 are currently tightening regulations on the image and behavior of contestants on social networks. Inna Moll's case has become a powerful reminder that, in the age of digital technology, even a moment of thoughtlessness can have a serious impact on personal honor and national image.
