Miss Mexico Fatima Bosch has been crowned the new Miss Universe in Thailand on Friday - marking the end of an exceptionally scandal filled pageant season, BBC reported.

The 25-year-old contestant had earlier in November walked out of a pageant event after an official publicly berated her in front of dozens of contestants and threatened to disqualify those who supported her. 

A week after, two judges resigned, with one of them accusing organisers of rigging the competition, according to BBC.
