Controversy

edit

Sexual harassment

edit

In August 2023, three out of the eleven finalists filed police reports regarding incidents of sexual harassment they experienced during body checking. One of the finalists alleged that she was instructed to remove her clothes, including her bra, in a confined room. She expressed her shock at the presence of males in the room and how the cramped space made her uncomfortable. When she tried to cover her breasts, she was reprimanded.[11] Furthermore, she alleged that she was coerced into posing for multiple poses and was made to open her legs while standing. She also reported unwanted touching of her private areas during the body checks.[12][13] Another contestant also came forward, alleging that she was photographed without her consent while not wearing any clothing.[13] It is also alleged that the organizers were trying to silence the victims.[14] As a result, the Miss Universe Organization terminated their franchise contract with Poppy Capella as the Miss Universe license owner.[15]

Requirement of height

edit

Indonesian social media raised concerns over winner Nicole's height, citing it as a reason she should not have won. The event guidelines specified a minimum height requirement of 168cm for contestants, which Nicole did not meet.[16][17] Four days after her win, the organizers removed the height requirement,[18] stating that disqualifying her based on her height had been deemed unfair.[19]
