"Dr. Henry had a serious accident after falling through a gap on stage during a demonstration in the Miss Universe's preliminary round on November 19, 2025. The incident caused bleeding in the brain accompanied by loss of consciousness, fractures, facial injuries, and a number of other serious injuries," read a statement. the latest was shared on Monday, December 8th.

Henry was immediately rushed to a hospital in Bangkok and treated in the ICU in critical condition with strict neural monitoring. Until now, he still needs 24-hour specialist supervision.

According to the statement, Henry is scheduled to return to Jamaica in the next few days. He will be accompanied by a complete medical team and upon arrival in the country will be immediately transferred to the hospital to continue treatment and recovery.

MUO also stated that it had covered all the costs of Henry's hospital, medical care, and rehabilitation while being treated in Thailand. In addition, the organization also bears the cost of accommodation and living needs of Henry's mother and sister who accompanied him during the treatment period.

Not only that, MUO said that it was financing Henry's return flight to Jamaica with medical assistance, and was committed to covering all further medical expenses incurred as a result of the incident.

"Since the incident took place, the Miss Universe Organization has accompanied Gabrielle and her family like her own, taking full responsibility quickly and without hesitation," the statement read.

"The Henry family is very grateful for the empathy, presence, and full support given. The MUO response goes far beyond professional responsibility and reflects the concern and protection of the family," he continued.

One week after Miss Universe 2025 was won by Fryptima Bosch, a contestant from Haiti, Melissa Sapini spoke about Henry's incident and how the organizers handled the incident.

Sapini claimed after Henry fell, the contestants were gathered at a meeting. He accused a contest staffer of opening talks by blaming Henry for the incident.

"I don't think it was handled properly. The first thing that was said was that the incident happened because he didn't pay attention," Sapini said on November 28.

"After that, it was said that safety was a top priority. It was terrible," he continued.

At that time, MUO did not respond to a request for comment from PEOPLE. However, representatives of the hosting organization Miss Grand International (MGI) stated that the incident occurred because Henry allegedly missed the stage marker and did not see the catwalk as it walked. However, MGI denied that it had blamed Henry. In a press release, MUO categorically denied the allegations.

"A number of media reports that state Dr. Henry is also responsible for this incident are completely untrue. Miss Universe has never blamed Dr. Henry, and these assumptions are baseless and do not reflect the facts." wrote MUO.

The statement concluded with thanks from Henry and his family to the Jamaican people, the Miss Universe community, as well as supporters around the world for the prayers, love and support that continues to flow.

The owner and Miss Universe shared the press release with her on her Instagram account and added information that clarifies the organization's attitude regarding this incident.
