Miss Jamaica sues over stage fall
Former Miss Jamaica, Gabrielle Henry, has filed a lawsuit against the organizers of the Miss Universe pageant, nearly a year after her fall from the stage during the competition held in Bangkok in November 2025. The lawsuit accuses the organization of negligence and failure to ensure safety standards, as she fell from a height of approximately 5 feet through an unmarked or unprotected opening, with intense lighting that blinded her vision, leading to serious brain injury, bleeding, and long-term health complications. Her career as an ophthalmologist has been affected, and she now requires ongoing treatment and rehabilitation, with increasing psychological and physical damages. The organization denied any responsibility, asserting that safety responsibilities lie with the hosting authorities, and they covered her medical expenses despite not being legally obligated to do so. The lawsuit highlights safety lapses at the venue and raises questions about the circumstances of the incident, especially after claims from other contestants.
