In a shocking revelation, former Miss Universe judge Omar Harfouch has alleged an affair between a judge and a contestant, sparking controversy and casting a shadow over the prestigious beauty pageant. Harfouch announced his resignation from the Miss Universe judging panel just three days before the pageant, citing significant concerns about the integrity of the competition.

Harfouch took to social media to express his concerns, claiming that an “impromptu jury” had been formed to pre-select the top 30 finalists before the official rounds of the competition had even begun. He alleged that this unofficial judging panel had personal relationships with some of the contestants, raising questions about a potential conflict of interest.

The Miss Universe Organization swiftly denied Harfouch’s allegations, stating that no impromptu jury had been created and that all competition evaluations followed established protocols. They acknowledged Harfouch’s withdrawal from the judging panel but refuted his claims of impropriety.
In a series of Instagram Stories, Harfouch detailed his interactions with Miss Universe officials, including owner Raul Rocha, where he raised concerns about the alleged pre-selection of finalists. Despite his efforts to seek transparency and clarity from the organization, Harfouch claims he was met with dismissiveness and lack of cooperation.
Harfouch went on to question the transparency of the selection process, noting that the committee tasked with choosing the top 30 finalists had not been clearly defined. He particularly highlighted an alleged affair between a contestant and a member of the selection committee, further complicating the situation.
The revelation of a potentially rigged selection process has sent shockwaves through the Miss Universe pageant, with contestants and onlookers expressing dismay and concern over the fairness of the competition. Harfouch’s decision to speak out has been praised by some as a bold stand for integrity in the face of controversy.
As the Miss Universe pageant gears up for its international event in Bangkok, the allegations made by Harfouch have raised serious questions about the inner workings of the competition. With tensions high and accusations flying, the spotlight now turns to the Miss Universe Organization to address and resolve the swirling controversy.
Contestants, judges, and spectators alike are waiting with bated breath to see how the Miss Universe Organization will respond to these explosive claims and ensure the fairness and integrity of one of the world’s most prestigious beauty pageants. Amidst the glamour and excitement of the competition, the scandal surrounding the alleged affair serves as a sobering reminder of the complex dynamics at play behind the scenes.
In the midst of the controversy, Harfouch remains steadfast in his decision to speak out and raise awareness about the alleged improprieties within the Miss Universe pageant.
