The Miss Universe Organization is committed to promoting empowerment, leadership, and positive representation of women worldwide. We hold our winners to high standards, ensuring they embody these values throughout their 12-month reign.

Recently, we have discovered that TPN Global did not comply with the protocols set by the National Directors (ND) by sending a Miss Universe Queen to participate in another pageant before completing her reign. We deeply regret any incidents where these actions have violated our internal protocols and expectations.

The role of a Miss Universe winner is not only an honor but also a responsibility that requires dedication and respect for the commitments agreed upon. For this reason, we have made the difficult decision to withdraw the third runner-up title from the person who had been honored with it, due to the breach of her contractual obligations by participating in an external pageant. This decision underscores our expectation that all winners fulfill their duties throughout their entire reign. The actions of the ND compromise the decorum and professionalism of the Queen’s full 12-month service.

Therefore, starting May 1, 2025, the Miss Universe Organization will emphasize and enforce strict regulations for all National Directors (ND) regarding this specific matter. Our shared goal is to empower the Miss Universe family to maintain mutual respect, faith, and trust among all its members.

Our primary mission is to inspire and empower through the Miss Universe brand, providing opportunities for the personal and professional growth of all involved. We appreciate our supporters, partners, and contestants for their understanding and commitment to the principles upon which the Miss Universe Organization is founded.
