https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.rappler.com/entertainment/pageants/myrna-esguerra-run-miss-international-2025/

<p class="has-drop-cap">Myrna Esguerra capped her <a href="https://www.rappler.com/entertainment/pageants/myrna-esguerra-purpose-growth-miss-international-philippines-2025/">long-awaited Miss International 2025 journey</a> with a strong finish as fourth runner-up — a culmination of more than a year of preparation, waiting, and steady growth since she earned the right to represent the Philippines. While her hard work clearly paid off, her journey was not without unexpected challenges.</p>

<p>During a press conference on Friday, December 5, Esguerra revealed that the biggest hurdle she faced was going through coronation night on an empty stomach.</p>

<p>“I [wish] <em>kumain ako</em>. Because <em>iyon talaga ang</em> challenge <em>na na-</em>encounter <em>ko</em> that day of the coronation night. I woke up at 4 am., and until the end of the coronation night, <em>wala akong kinain</em>,” she said.</p>

<p>(I wish I had eaten. Because that was really the challenge I faced on coronation night. I woke up at 4 am, and until the end of the coronation night, I didn’t eat anything.)</p>

<p>She recalled feeling her body weaken during the announcement of the Top 20.</p>

<p>“So if you noticed, when I was called into the Top 20, my legs went weak. It was my body reacting. It was the effect of not having eaten. But the adrenaline kept me going. It’s really hard to compete on an empty stomach. If I could turn back time, I would definitely eat a lot on the day of the coronation n

Olivia Yacé renounces Miss Universe Africa title after disputed finale

Key Points

Olivia Yacé says she must stay true to her values. She resigns from Miss Universe Africa and Oceania today.

Reports say the finale had a contested crowning moment. Several contestants staged a walkout after insults were made.

Her move follows wider pageant complaints about fairness. The dispute has stirred fans and pageant observers worldwide.

Olivia Yacé (Olivia Manuela Yacé) announced she is stepping down from her Miss Universe Africa and Oceania role. She posted a formal statement on her Instagram account explaining her choice. The statement said she wants to remain true to respect and equal opportunity.

Her national committee confirmed the news and said she will return the title insignia. The committee called the move a personal decision linked to her values and future work. Many fans reacted quickly online after the announcement.

Why she quit

Olivia said she felt the pageant no longer matched her core values. She named respect, excellence and equal chance as her guiding principles. She added that stepping away will let her defend those values fully.

Multiple news outlets reported tensions at the Miss Universe lead-up events in Bangkok. A video showed a pageant official confronting Miss Mexico and calling her a “dumb head,” according to reports. The incident prompted several contestants to walk out in protest.

Some observers say the fallout shaped the finale atmosphere and choices on stage. Miss Mexico wins Miss Universe covered the crowning and the walkout in detail. That ValidUpdates report notes judge resignations and sharp criticism after the incident.

Supporters for Olivia argue the finale’s events fed doubts about fairness and outcomes. Others say Miss Mexico, Fátima Bosch, was later crowned amid calls for calm. Some reports claim the crown followed an onstage apology effort after the earlier clash.

Olivia’s full statement thanked fans and organisers for support during her journey. She also sent well wishes to the new Miss Universe and to Miss Jamaica after her fall. The line “It’s time for Africa” appears in her message and framed her final note.

Pageant voices and critics now ask for clearer answers about the Bangkok events. Contestants and national teams want open information about the pre-finale incidents and decisions. Many call for independent steps to ensure fair judging and better treatment for contestants.

Media coverage has tracked resignations and complaints tied to Miss Universe 2025. News outlets reported at least one other national titleholder stepping away earlier this month. The pattern has increased calls for clear info from the Miss Universe Committee.

The Miss Universe body has issued statements denying some claims and promising to review procedures. It said it takes complaints seriously and will follow its internal process. Pageant watchers say an external review would help restore trust.

Olivia’s decision is likely to shape pageant talk for weeks ahead. Fans and industry figures will watch for any official answers or changes. Her statement signals she will continue her work outside the pageant structure.

She closed her message urging young women to enter spaces where they are not expected. The note encouraged Black and Afro-descendant communities to keep making their voices heard. Olivia said she will pursue her goals while defending the values she holds dear.

From ‘dumbhead’ to Miss Universe: Why Mexico’s win drew controversy

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.rappler.com/entertainment/pageants/miss-universe-2025-mexico-fatima-bosch-drew-controversy/

<p>MANILA, Philippines — Mexico’s Fatima Bosch made history after being hailed as the 74th Miss Universe, besting over a hundred contestants at the pageant’s finale on Friday, November 21, at the Impact Challenger Hall in Thailand. But even before her crowning, the beauty queen already made headlines due to the <a href="https://www.rappler.com/entertainment/pageants/miss-universe-2025-candidates-walkout-controversies/">multiple scandals</a> that unfolded throughout the competition.</p>

<p>From power struggles to allegations of predetermined judging, Fatima’s name has been tied to controversies and speculations from pageant fans, with some commenting that her win is a “peace offering” from the organizers.</p>

<p>Beyond these allegations, however, the issue does not point to the Latina queen herself but to a deeper, more layered conflict within the organization, marked by political interests and a constant tug-of-war for power that shapes the outcome of what’s regarded as one of the most prestigious platforms for women.</p>

<p>One of the most heated issues in this year’s pageant was the walkout of several candidates during the general orientation and sashing ceremony.</p>
