Mexican Fatima Bosch, who was crowned Miss Universe on November 20, has stated that she has no intention of giving up her title. "Why should I give up something I worked so hard for?" she expressed. Bosch deemed it "unjust" that her crown is being questioned due to external comments, especially on social media, when only she and those who were close to her understand all the effort she made to win the Miss Universe title. "I am 25 years old and I have never been in this environment. Of course, it hurts me because they attack my family and they attack me," she said with a trembling voice. In the final round, she surpassed Miss Ivory Coast, Miss Philippines, Miss Venezuela, and Miss Thailand. Bosch clarified that she joined Miss Universe "for philanthropy and social causes." She added, "When God puts a purpose in your heart, there will be much adversity." Fatima Bosch won the fourth crown for her country, once again wearing a red outfit, a detail that has become a good luck charm for Mexico. However, the resignation of jury member Omar Harfouch, who alleged irregularities in the voting process, raised alarms. "I cannot stand in front of the public and cameras pretending to legitimize a vote in which I never participated, it would be dishonest," wrote the Franco-Lebanese pianist on his social media. "I deserve this crown," she began. "Of course not, because I deserve this crown and this sash. The reality is that many things can be said, but there is only one truth: I made the same effort as all my fellow contestants, I made the same commitment and we went through the same tests... And I won. If I won, I won."
