During the competition’s residency in Thailand, she was involved in a tense moment with Nawat Itsaragrisil, the director of Miss Universe Thailand. The producer raised his voice and was disrespectful toward her, but Fátima refused to stay silent and spoke up for herself. The exchange became one of the most viral moments in the pageant’s history.
Following that episode, all eyes were on the Mexican representative. On the night of the finale, November 20, 2025, she was crowned the winner of Miss Universe. Her victory sparked a wide range of reactions. While many celebrated Mexico's fourth crown, others claimed there was controversy behind the scenes. Since then, Fátima has remained focused on her duties as Miss Universe, ignoring the rumors and criticism surrounding her coronation to give her absolute best in the role.
