Anne Jakrajutatip has recently prohibited Miss Universe franchise holders from sending candidates to other international pageants. The Thai business magnate,
over the introduction of a new business model that required them to bid for the rights to host pageants in their countries.
Unicorp said it will continue to host the annual Hoa hau Hoan vu Viet Nam beauty pageant but would “suspend co-operation with Miss Universe.” The decision was made “after a period of careful consideration and realizing that the new business orientations of Miss Universe were no longer consistent with the strategy and long-term development goals of Hoa hau Hoan vu Viet Nam,” it said.Jakrajutatip, whose JKN Global Group bought the rights to Miss Universe last year for a reported $20 million, has sought to clear the “drama” with an Instagram post, saying “something got lost in translation and information.
“The request of submission was meant to give voice and agency to the current directors — a way that they can speak truth to what they believe their business is worth,” Jakrajutatip said. “How can someone criticize something without getting the right info or interviewing anyone in the organization? Since when [did] the Miss Universe Organization say that the submission was all about the highest amount of money? It’s making no sense to me and it’s not my business integrity to do so,” the Thai mogul added with seeming exasperation.It is not clear how this recent drama will affect the entire MU pageant scenario or the number of participating in forthcoming coming pageants.
