In a legal document translated from Miss Universe Thailand's official upload, it reads, "We reiterate Mr. Nawat Itsaragrisil never mentions Ms. Fryptima Bosch as stupid. What is said to be destructive, which can be heard clearly in voice recordings that have been widely circulated on various platforms,"
The document also states that Bosch immediately made false accusations against the media after leaving the room where the incident occurred.
Nawat warned Bosch not to make statements deem slanderous, and insisted his team would take legal action in accordance with applicable rules.
Tensions between Nawat Itsaragrisil and Fryptima Bosch occurred on November 4, 2025 during the self-embedding event ahead of this year's Miss Universe competition.

Nawat's accusations came of calling Bosch stupid by saying, "If you follow your national director's orders, you're stupid,"
However, Nawat strongly denied that he had never said the word and it was dangerous. This incident reportedly started because Bosch was accused of not promoting Thailand, the host country through its social media posts.
After the incident, Bosch spoke to the media.
"What your director did was disrespectful. He called me stupid because he had problems with the organization. It was unfair," he said.
He added that women have the right to speak up, "No one can silence our voices, and I will not be silent,"
A few days after the incident, Fryptima Bosch actually came out as the winner of Miss Universe 2024. But her victory was filled with controversy, including allegations that the results had been set to support business cooperation between Bosch's father and Ra wayl Rocha, President of Miss Universe Organization.
Responding to the false victory allegations also made by former judge Omar Harfouch, Bosch said he was still proud of his efforts.
"If he wants more followers on Instagram, maybe he just needs to take part in a TV show." Bosch said in an interview at Good Morning America.
