Nawat took down Rachel Gupta, released the personal phone number of another beauty queen, Thien An got caught.

In recent days, the international media has been in a state of hysteria over the accusations between the current MGI and Nawat . However, neither side has provided any new evidence, but Nawat’s new move has angered the beauty industry, who are demanding a boycott of MGI.

Previously, Mr. Nawat publicly accused Rachel Gupta of not following MGI's rules, of having her breast.s done cosmetically and of accepting work contracts without his consent. To prove his accusations, Mr. Nawat posted pictures of Rachel during her participation in the MGI 2024 competition and compared them with her current photos, to confirm that she had breast implants. "She had breast implants herself, but when asked by the organization, she said it was because she ate too much protein," Mr. Nawat wrote.

In his accusatio.n, Mr. Nawat even said that Rachel had contacted the Korean plastic surgery hospital (which sponsored the MGI top 10) herself and said that she wanted to bring her mother over for a free nose job. Mr. Nawat posted a picture of Rachel and her mother with their faces covered in bandages after the surgery in Korea as evidence.

Mr. Nawat 's actions in publicly posting sensitive images and commenting on Rachel 's appearance have been harshly criticized by many beauty fans. They believe that the chairman is trying to belittle Rachel Gupta 's appearance to belittle her image after strippin.g her of her crown. Many angry comments appeared on social media: "The chairman's behavior is too vulgar", "As a man, and the chairman of a beauty contest, he belittles women's appearance", "More and more degenerate, Nawat is bringing down his own contest"...

Ms. Jennifer Gupta, Rachel Gupta 's mother, expressed particular anger towards Mr. Nawat. She shared a story condemning the alleged unethical actions of MGI and Mr. Nawat . In another story, Ms. Jennifer Gupta also mentioned Miss Universe and said that this is a contest that always promotes the values of women, but the key members of this contest have actions that insult women, betraying what this organization often preaches.

This is not the first time Mr. Nawat has been criticized for belittling a contestant's appearance. In 2022, after Vietnamese fans raised mixed opinions about Doan Thien An's exclusion from the Top 10 of Miss Grand International , Mr. Nawat publicly commented on her appearance. He said that Doan Thien An did not meet the physical criteria compared to the other contestants, commenting that Thien An had a longer upper body than her lower body and large hips.

Therefore, Nawat affirmed that Thien An's stopping in the Top 20 was a fair result. This statement of Mr. Nawat made Vietnamese fans extremely angry. Supermodel Ha Anh also posted an article expressing her harsh opinion: " Your contest has your rules, but she is also a young girl, trying her best to be beautiful, increase prestige, and make your contest more exciting. Just say that she has not entered the top because she has not met all your criteria, why do you have to lower her in the eyes of her country's people and the international community?"

The incident between Mr. Nawat and Rachel Gupta caused a stir when beauty fans discovered many irregularities in the MGI president 's accusations. In an Insta story, Mr. Nawat shared a photo accusing Rachel , including her phone number and email. However, fans quickly discovered that this phone number was from the Philippines, belonging to Miss International 2016 Kylie Verzosa . After being "called out" by fans, Kylie Verzosa contacted Mr. Nawat 's team and asked him to remove her phone number from the post because of the inconvenience. The MGI president had to post an apology to Kylie Verzosa and said that this was a mistake. However, many fans believe that Mr. Nawat and his team intentionally edited the photos to bring down Rachel Gupta .

Mr. Nawat 's inconsistent behavior is also shown through his alleged deliberate manipulation of public opinion. Previously, in the press release about strippin.g Rachel Gupta of her title, Mr. Nawat asked her to return the crown to MGI within 30 days from the time of the announcement. However, in a recent livestream, Mr. Nawat showed off the real MGI crown and said that the crown Rachel had been wearing for the past 7 months was just a replica crown.

HH MGI was stripped of her crown, accused the organizers of being 'cheap', did all kinds of livestreaming and was banned by Nawat Hanni15:30:32 30/05/2025Miss Grand Organizing Committee has been dominating the international media these past few days as the battle between the reigning Miss and the Organizing Committee has become increasingly tense.
