Boss Nawatt Challenges Rumors of Thailands Ban, Confirms Tarina Will Definitely Compete in Miss Universe

The heated issue shaking the beauty pageant world arose when "Boss Nawatt Israkaresil" gave a candid, thorough interview addressing every hot drama surrounding the Western Miss Universe organization, exposing their use of forged documents and a fake company named JKN Universe LLC registered in Texas.

Additionally, Boss Nawatt discussed the Miss Grand International pageant and concerns over Ning Patama's English skills, admitting she is not fluent but can communicate adequately. He highlighted Ning's strength as an entertainer who brings joy to others. If she advances, she may answer in Thai with an interpreter present—there will be no disqualification for limited English proficiency.

What about Thailand?

"We Thais must support our own, but success depends on ability, stage presence, and quality."

Regarding recent comments on Ning Patama's English responses?

"We must accept she is not fluent English, but can be understood and communicate sufficiently. We accept her as she is. Her limitations will be managed appropriately, with public reasoning."

Any concerns?

"No worries. She laughs all day and sings, focusing on entertaining friends and spreading happiness. Everyone hopes to advance or win, which is normal, but ultimately it depends on the judges at the Preliminary and Final events."

Is she stressed about English?

"Not at all. If she reaches the finals and wants to answer in Thai, that's allowed. There will be an interpreter on stage. Nobody is disqualified for not speaking English."

Boss Nawatt then addressed the Western Miss Universe drama, saying, "Many organizations are struggling and creating effects, trying to adjust the game. But what is clear is that Puerto Rico Tourism and the Western side are in a good relationship. To date, they have taken $5.5 million of $8.7 million, with another $2 million expected on 1 October. Let's see if they get it. We submitted complete evidence, all stamped by our law office, clear and legally confirmed without ambiguity."

"We have proof that the documents are forged and that a new fake company named JKN Universe LLC was registered in Texas. It's 100% fake because this company has no connection to Universe, but uses the real company's articles of incorporation to show that the authority is Carlos, CFO, and used this in the phase 2 contract to obtain money—$1 million received on 9 September."

"I shared this with everyone: their request for money said they were in critical mode, lacked suppliers to organize events, and had no clear funds. So they asked for $1 million quickly, and Puerto Rico Tourism gave it immediately without checks or questions. They then received another $1 million, totaling $5.5 million. This led to the press conference because since receiving the money, they have done nothing—only videos edited on mobile phones posted casually, nothing else."

"Therefore, to get the next $2 million, they must prove work was done. The small, somewhat humorous press conference everyone saw is part of gathering evidence to request the $2 million. But it’s a shame—they got $5.5 million already. They should have hired an electrician to install lights, an organizer team to set up LEDs to showcase visions, and a big entertainment show before the host’s debut. But the conference looked like a remote village meeting."

Rumors say the CEO said they won’t guarantee safety if Thailand sends a contestant?

"That's fake news. Don’t overthink it. I know everything—when press conferences happen and what is planned—I record all for legal use. Even if they speak Spanish, it can be translated. At the conference, they never mentioned banning Thailand. How could Puerto Rico Tourism bar people from certain countries? Some Thais imagine and create fake news. We understand that’s all they have for happiness. Disliking us is their right, but if you dislike someone, don’t focus on their haters. Whether they go or not is their business."

How do you feel about this? Be honest and brief.

"I feel pity for their behavior, truly pity. What kind of person imagines such evil? I offer this thought: if you hate someone but keep talking about them, you only elevate them and motivate them more. So don’t fuel us. The power plant is already enough with me."

Are you sure Tarina will compete?

"Absolutely one hundred percent. Why wouldn’t she? Legally, we signed with the Singapore side, not with Raul’s side in Mexico. The contracts between the two 50/50 owners include non-interference clauses, forbid rejection, alternate hosting duties, and the winner cannot be dethroned without board approval."

There are reports that "Fatima MU 2025" is suing back?

"I don’t care. If they sue, let’s see the evidence and the case. Are they using violence? No, they’re the ones who slammed microphones, stomped feet, and stormed off TV shows. Don’t forget to sue yourselves."Click to readEntertainment News
