Miss Mexico is breaking her silence after a heated exchange between her and a Miss Universe pageant executive that led several fellow contestants to walk out in protest.

The exchange, which was captured on a livestream on Nov.4, saw Nawat Itsaragrisil, an executive director of Miss Universe Organization, verbally attack Miss Mexico’s Fátima Bosch and call her a “dummy” after accusing her of not participating in a social media photo shoot. 

“Mexico, where are you?” Itsaragrisil asked the crowd, to which Bosch stood up from her seat. “I heard you’re not going to support everything about Thailand, is that true?”

“If you follow the order from your national director, you’re a dummy,” he added. 

When Bosch attempted to respond, Itsaragrisil said, “I didn’t give you an opportunity to talk. Why do you stand up to talk to me?”

“Because I have a voice,” she said. “You are not respecting me as a woman.”

At that point, Itsaragrisil called for security, which prompted pageant contestants to protest and walk-out of the conference room. 

Bosch later addressed the media in a video shared by pageantry_com and tgpc_official on Instagram.

“Your director is not respectful,” she said in the interview. “He called me dumb.”

“I think that’s not fair because I am here. I do everything okay. I don’t mess with anyone. I just try to be kind,” Bosch continued. “I think that the world needs to see this because we are empowered women and this is a platform for our voice.”

In a statement to Fox News Digital, a representative for the Miss Universe communications department said the organization remains “committed to upholding the values of empowerment.”

Together with our global supporters, we remain committed to upholding the values of empowerment, inclusion, and cultural celebration that define the Miss Universe legacy.”

A day after the incident, Itsaragrisil broke down in tears while apologizing for his actions. 

“I am human. I didn’t want to do anything like that,” he told the press, per USA Today.

Later the same day, during a pageant welcome event, Itsaragrisil addressed a crowd of onlookers and apologized to the Miss Universe contestants.
