MU: Judges quit grading, publicly denounced cheating, Huong Giang's ranking dropped shockingly?

Miss Universe 2025 judge, Omar Harfouch, announced his withdrawal from the Jury and boycotted the self-composed song in the Final Night due to the 'lack of transparency' when choosing the Top 30.

"Lack of Transparency" Controversy Causes Judge Omar Harfouch to Resolutely Withdraw

With just a few days left until the Miss Universe 2025 Finals, the competition has been rocked by a shocking decision by a member of the official jury. Late on the evening of November 18, famous musician and social activist Omar Harfouch publicly announced his resignation and refused to perform a song he composed, all because of allegations of a serious lack of transparency in the selection process for the Top 30 contestants.

In a statement, Mr. Harfouch expressed his confusion and deep concern when he discovered on social media that the selection of the 30 best candidates from 136 countries was done by a completely different "improvised jury", without the participation of any of the 8 real judges, including himself, and that the selection results were being kept secret.

Accusations of Unfair "Farce" and the Organizing Committee's Embarrassing Response

The matter became even more suspicious when Omar Harfouch revealed the reaction of the Miss Universe Organizing Committee. Immediately after he disapproved of the irregular Preliminary selection process, the Organizing Committee hastily announced the list of people involved in the media but did not specify the specific roles of each individual, causing great confusion. The most worrying thing was the information spread that this unofficial jury included people who had personal relationships with some of the contestants, even the person responsible for counting the votes, which is taboo and directly affects fairness.

Faced with this situation, after a discussion with Raul Rocha about the lack of transparency in the voting process, Mr. Harfouch came to a decisive decision: resigning from the jury and refusing to participate in this "farce", and at the same time declaring that he would not allow the use of the music he composed for the event, expressing his strong opposition.

Concerns About Huong Giang's Position Amidst the Controversy

In the context of the Judges' drama that is causing a stir internationally, the Vietnamese beauty fan community is also focusing on the country's representative - Miss Huong Giang. Although Huong Giang has always been highly appreciated by international websites, often entering the predicted Top 5, recently her position has shown signs of a sudden drop, falling to the middle group (around Top 8 to Top 12) on some prestigious rankings.

This drop in ranking, although it may be due to the breakthrough of the opponents or the competition strategy not being enough to create highlights, but combined with the backstage scandals about the fairness of the competition, has increased the pressure and anxiety for fans. Currently, all hopes are placed on Huong Giang's explosive performance in the upcoming final night so that she can overcome all barriers and bring glory to Vietnam.

The withdrawal of Judge Omar Harfouch has created a media earthquake, putting Miss Universe 2025 in a position to face an unprecedented crisis of credibility. The lack of transparency in the scoring process not only affects the eliminated contestants but also directly threatens the core values of a leading beauty pageant in the world. The fan community and experts are eagerly awaiting an official, comprehensive and convincing explanation from the Miss Universe Organizing Committee. Will the Organizing Committee be able to control the situation, ensure fairness in the Final Night, and reassure public opinion about a Miss Universe that is being held with many questions? The answer will directly affect the future and position of this prestigious beauty pageant.
