Severely injured at the contest “Miss Universe” participant told about the injuries

The participant of the contest “Miss Universe – 2025” Gabrielle Henry, representing Jamaica, spoke about the serious consequences of falling from the stage in Thailand. The girl had to re-learn how to walk and self-service, and now she is going to sue the organizers of the competition.

The incident occurred on November 19, 2025 during a show. Henry fell through an unlocked hatch on stage. At the bottom were concrete floor and lighting fixtures. The girl herself remembers nothing about the fall.

At first it was reported that Henry suffered only minor injuries. However, she spent about two weeks in intensive care. It was later revealed that she had an intracranial hemorrhage with loss of consciousness, as well as a fracture, lacerations on her face and other serious injuries. She was discharged from the hospital in March.

Due to a brain injury and several hemorrhages, Henry suffered from disorientation and problems with everyday skills. Now she is recovering and trying to return to work as an ophthalmologist, but can not yet fully engage in the profession.

Henry decided to sue Miss Universe and Miss Grand International, which hosted the contest in Thailand. She believes that the organizers were negligent because the dangerous hatch was not fenced. Representatives of “Miss Universe” first reported minor injuries, and two weeks later admitted the seriousness of the girl’s condition. At the same time, the organizers assumed the cost of her treatment.
