Miss Universe Contestants Revolted After Miss Mexico Was Called Dumb

The Celebrity Beat…

There was a mini-revolt among Miss Universe contestants on Monday, after an official insulted the intelligence of one of them.  It happened in Thailand, where the pageant will take place on November 21st.

The pageant director, who’s also from Thailand, felt that Miss Mexico Fatima Bosch wasn’t doing her best to promote the host country.  So he dressed her down in front of all the other contestants, and even called her a “dummy“.

Bosch stood her ground, though, and told the guy he was disrespecting her.  So he called SECURITY.  At that point, Bosch and several other contestants left the room.

The Thai official has since apologized, while Bosch issued a statement saying, quote, “I just want to let my country know, I’m not afraid to make my voice heard. It’s here stronger than ever.  I have a purpose, I have things to say.”
