In a bombshell revelation shaking the Miss Universe realm, a leaked recording from an alleged board meeting in November has ignited an uproar. The co-owner of Miss Universe, Anne Jakapong Jakrajutatip purportedly made disparaging remarks about diverse contestants, directly contradicting the pageant’s pledge of inclusivity. The leaked video captured Jakrajutatip allegedly stating that women from “non-traditional backgrounds” can participate in the pageant but stand no chance of victory .
“The trans women, the women with husbands, divorced women...
They can compete, but they cannot win,” Jakrajutatip appears to assert, undermining the very essence of the pageant’s proclaimed commitment to social inclusion. Moreover, the recording unveils unsettling conversations among board members, with Jakrajutatip allegedly suggesting strategies to maintain audience favoritism towards conventional beauty standards. “We can have real-size beauty, the contestant.
Very big size...
(But) we’ll have to control the audience (lest) they vote all for the big size,” Jakrajutatip seemingly remarks, sparking widespread condemnation. The video resurfaces amid heightened scrutiny within the pageant world, compounded by ongoing controversies surrounding Miss USA and a series of resignations.
