MU loses its quality and is called "rusty", many beauties turn their backs, at risk of being ousted

In 2025, Ms. Anne joined hands with fellow countryman Mr. Nawat - President of Miss Grand International - to cooperate in producing and organizing the Miss Universe 2025 contest scheduled to take place in Thailand later this year.

The handshake between Ms. Anne and Mr. Nawat was no less noisy than the previous scandals of this organization. While the previous scandals caused by Ms. Anne had not yet cooled down, Mr. Nawat continued to stir up new concerns with his authoritarian and noisy management style.

To be able to participate in organizing Miss Universe 2025, Mr. Nawat spent 136 billion VND to buy the copyright of Miss Universe Thailand. After taking control of Miss Universe Thailand, Mr. Nawat implemented a series of plans to commercialize the contest.

Joining hands with transgender billionaire Anne Jakkaphong Jakrajutatip - the owner of Miss Universe - to plan to organize the Miss Universe 2025 contest in Thailand shows Nawat's ambition to expand his influence in the beauty industry.

However, many beauty fans expressed concern that the Miss Universe Thailand and Miss Universe pageants would be corrupted after falling into the hands of Mr. Nawat.

In an interview, Mr. Nawat revealed that he flew to New York to discuss with Ms. Paula Shugart - former president of Miss Universe Organization - about buying the copyright of Miss Universe Thailand but was refused.

After the meeting, Mr. Nawat cherished the idea of buying the copyright of Miss Universe Thailand. "One day I will have to win against this Westerner," Mr. Nawat shared about his ambition.

After taking over Miss Universe Thailand, Mr. Nawat made statements that were said to refer to the Miss Cosmo pageant and Ms. Paula Shugart, causing fierce controversy. Mr. Nawat claimed that the Miss Cosmo pageant intentionally copied Miss Universe by inviting Ms. Paula and other former Miss Universes to sit on the judging panel to attract attention.

Mr. Nawat's actions have many people worried about the future of Miss Universe. Many people believe that people like Mr. Nawat will turn beauty pageants into a playground for executives, not for contestants and titleholders.

After Mr. Nawat's offensive statement, the Miss Cosmo organization reacted strongly.

A series of beauties who represented Vietnam at Miss Universe such as Pham Huong, Le Hang, H'Hen Nie, Hoang Thuy, Ngoc Chau... have removed the title Miss Universe Vietnam from their personal pages, and unfollowed the Miss Universe homepage, to show their protest.

H'Hen Niê - one of the most influential beauty queens on the international level, with one million followers on the Instagram platform - declared: "Just stay calm. Love is still the same as the beginning, but now it's temporarily put in the closet, and when the right person comes along, it will be opened again."

International beauty fans and influential figures in the world beauty queen community also expressed strong opinions about the generational leadership transition of the Miss Universe organization.

Miss USA 2023 Noelia Voigt spoke out on her personal page, saying that the new leaders in beauty pageants have too big egos. "They forget that their job is to renew and elevate the competition, bring unforgettable experiences to contestants and fans, organize professional programs, attract prestigious sponsors, build worthy rewards and create real opportunities for title holders," she said.

The beauty also did not hesitate to respond to Mr. Nawat: "Meaningless words, boastful and arrogan.t attitudes only make people tired. I really hope that they know how to respect the legacy of the organization they are inheriting, and act properly."

After Nawat's statement, Missuupdates - a long-standing reputable beauty site that only updates information related to Miss Universe - decided to change its logo, remove the information "Miss Universe", and replace it with "Pageant updates" on the homepage.

The fact that a long-time Miss Universe supporter site has also "turned its back" shows that the contest is losing its quality and no longer receiving support from the beauty fan community.

"This contest will be corrupted after falling into Nawat's hands", "After turning Miss Grand into a circus, he continues to turn Miss Universe into a second circus", "I'm tired of Nawat, he will ruin beauty contests"... are comments from beauty fans.

Miss Universe is out of time, relying on the enemy, the reigning Miss "illusion of power"?
