Miss Universe 2024 Crowning Surrounded by Controversy
This year’s Miss Universe competition in Bangkok delivered more than just glitz and glamour—it came with a healthy dose of drama. Just weeks before the crowning, one contestant made headlines by walking out of a pageant event in protest, livestreaming her exit for the world to see. If that wasn’t enough to stir the pot, a now former judge alleged that the competition was rigged, throwing even more shade on the already tense event.
The show must go on, and so it did. In spite of the chaos, a new Miss Universe claimed the crown, marking another chapter in the pageant’s storied history. This year’s event reminds us that even the world of tiaras and evening gowns isn’t immune to real-world tension and a little bit of drama. After all, what’s a beauty pageant without a plot twist or two?
One thing’s for sure: The pageant world just proved it can be as unpredictable as reality TV. Who knew crowning a queen could come with so many cliffhangers?
