Miss Mexico was crowned Miss Universe in Thailand, strutting to victory after staging a walkout when an organizer of the beauty pageant chastised her among several dramatic missteps before the final round.
Contestants from the Ivory Coast, the Philippines, Thailand and Venezuela also made it to the final round, selected from more than 120 women vying for the title in a contest considered one of the "big four" of global beauty pageants.
However, chaos reigned before Miss Mexico Fatima Bosch was crowned, from allegations of an insult to her intelligence to judges quitting and participants falling on and off the stage.
Ms Bosch staged a dramatic walkout this month from a meeting where she was lambasted by Miss Universe Thailand director Nawat Itsaragrisil.
Mr Nawat appeared in a livestream of the event to single her out during a dispute over her apparent failure to post promotional content on her social media accounts.
Ms Bosch, flanked by Miss Iraq, walked out of the room after Mr Nawat called for security to intervene.
Others appeared to rise in solidarity with Ms Bosch, before freezing as Mr Nawat warned that those still wanting to participate should "sit down".
"What your director did is not respectful: he called me dumb," Ms Bosch told reporters at the time.
"The world needs to see this because we are empowered women and this is a platform for our voice."

Unfortunately men still think that women are dumb. It is what it is.
Fatima 1917 🙏
From Tabasco, 25 years old, beautiful lady. Why did she win? Very outspoken, not afraid of powerful men and a fighter.
Her win is questionable? All political.
