Drama at Miss Universe: Six Contestants Banned Following Backstage Fight
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Miss Universe has announced that representatives from six Southeast Asian countries will be barred from competing in the 75th edition of the pageant, scheduled for November 24 in Puerto Rico. This decision stems from an internal conflict within the organization, which is co-owned by Mexican and Thai entrepreneurs. The delegates from Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, and Laos are ineligible due to an 'illegitimate' contract involving Nawat Itsaragrisil, who is accused of spreading false financial information. The ongoing dispute has raised concerns for over a hundred national franchises worldwide, although delegates from other countries like Venezuela and Spain have already been selected.
