Dr. Gabrielle Henry, aka Miss Jamaica, was missing from the end of the 2025 Miss Universe pageant, after an earlier incident sent her to the hospital.
Ultimately, Miss Mexico, Fátima Bosch, won the event.
According to footage posted to social media, on Nov. 19, Henry, 28, was strutting down the stage in Bangkok, Thailand, in a gown, when she fell off the runway and face-planted into the crowd.
Audience members immediately leapt out of their seats to check on the fallen beauty queen. Further footage showed Henry being carried away on a stretcher.
She was taken to Paolo Rangsit Hospital in Thailand and is not suffering from any life-threatening injuries, the Miss Universe Jamaica organization said in a statement on social media on Thursday.
Henry is an ophthalmologist and the founder of the See Me Foundation, which is a charity helping the visually impaired people in Jamaica.
Raul Rocha, owner of the Miss Universe pageant, posted an update on Thursday.
“I was there with her family and her, and thankfully, there are no broken bones, and she is under good care. She will remain under observation for the rest of the night, and we will remain in touch with her family and support her,” Rocha wrote, adding, “Our prayers go out for her prompt recovery.”
The Miss Jamaica organization said, “Medical professionals are attending to her care and have advised that she is not suffering from any life-threatening injuries; however, they continue to conduct tests to ensure her full recovery.”
The statement continued, “We kindly ask everyone to stay upbeat, lift her in prayer, and send positive thoughts as she receives the necessary medical care.”
This is just one of numerous scandals to make waves at the 47th annual Miss Universe pageant.
Miss Universe judge Omar Harfouch resigned from the pageant’s official jury, mere days before this year’s competition began.
Harfouch alleged that an “impromptu jury” with personal ties to participating contestants had already chosen which contestants would move forward out of the 136 women competing.
Nawat Itsaragrisil, another Miss Universe executive, was also dismissed from this year’s pageant following a confrontation with Miss Mexico.
The Thai businessman called Bosch a “dummy,” sparking a shouting match between the two, which was caught on livestream.
The incident led to dozen other Miss Universe participants walking out of a pre-pageant event in solidarity with her.
No further updates have been made about Henry’s health.
