‘FAKE CROWN’ SCANDAL: Judge Says Miss Universe Bosses Handed Mexico the Win for Their Own Gain

The Miss Universe 2025 debate intensified as ex-judge Omar Harfouch went public with fresh allegations suggesting Mexico’s victory was predetermined. Posting to Instagram, Harfouch claimed senior pageant executives encouraged him to support Fátima Bosch for business-related reasons linked to her father. He previously stepped down from the jury citing irregularities in the selection process. His new statement has reignited scrutiny over the fairness of this year’s competition, though the Miss Universe Organization has not addressed these updated claims.
