Can Miss Universe Be Saved?

 

This chat was conducted via Zoom on Saturday, April 26, 2025 at 9:00 PM EST. My guests include Roger of The Pageant Nerd, Wilfredo Lopez and JD Toro. We discuss the abrupt changes within the Miss Universe Organization that happened between April 22-24, 2025, such as:

• JKN Global and its CEO being fined for misleading disclosures concerning the sales of MUO to Legacy Holdings
• the “dethronement” of MU 2024 third runner-up Suchata Opal Chuangsri
• the appointment of MGI CEO Nawat Itsaragrisil as MUO’s executive director
• the statement from MUO denying the appointment of Nawat
• Nawat paying more money to MUO to keep the Thai franchise for 25 years

And much more!
