Several contestants have walked out of a Miss Universe event after an official from host nation Thailand publicly berated Miss Mexico in a tense confrontation.
At a pre-pageant ceremony, Miss Universe Thailand director told off Fatima Bosch in front of dozens of contestants for failing to post promotional content.
When she objected, the director called security and threatened to disqualify those supporting her.
Ms Bosch then left the room and others joined her in solidarity.
Video of the incident, which was live streamed, has been shared online. The Miss Universe Organisation (MUO) has condemned the Director, labelling it as "malicious" behaviour, for which he has since apologised.
