Reactions on the internet to Fátima Bosch's 2025 Miss Universe victory
Now that Bosch has been awarded Miss Universe 2025, many internet critics contend that the victory feels more like "damage control" than merit. After the conclusion, a number of users took to X (previously Twitter) to voice their disapproval of the result, accusing the decision of being biased and saying it was a "settlement" following the previous controversy.

"Mexico did not deserve that," a user commented. All of that was payola and sympathy. The owners apologized for that. damage control for Miss Mexico's treatment by Nawat. Horrible, horrible, horrible.
Another said, "Business interests drove Mexico's victory." She and Nawat had a disagreement, and it appears that both parties made an effort to resolve the issue behind closed doors. They might have consented to Mexico's victory. However, it is clear that she was not the true victor.
"Category: Undeserving Miss Universe — both from Mexico" was the third comment. "Miss Universe doesn't deserve respect," declared another commenter, going even farther. They repeatedly demonstrate that their organization is a cookery show, which is why they are so low.

The real winners were defrauded. "I hope it's not a damage control crown," another person said. However, she deserves it because she stuck up for herself.
"WORST. WINNER. EVER," remarked another. I knew she would be crowned in order to save face since she was rigged from the moment she had that incident with #Nawat. The responses from the other girls were far superior.
