Miss Universe Jamaica 2025 Gabrielle Henry sues MUO over onstage fall - GMA Network

Miss Universe Jamaica 2025 Gabrielle Henry has filed a lawsuit against the Miss Universe Organization (MUO) and two of its parent companies, JKN Legacy Inc. and Legacy Holding Group USA, over her onstage fall in Bangkok, Thailand in November 2025.

According to People, the Jamaican beauty queen filed the lawsuit on September 21 at the Delaware Superior Court, alleging five claims against the defendants: negligence, premises liability, negligent hiring, retention, and supervision, and negligent and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Henry said the event was the "most traumatic moment" of her life. She said she was confined from November 19 to December 10, 2025, after suffering a "traumatic brain injury with acute subarachnoid hemorrhage, frontal lobe hemorrhagic contusion, and subdural hemorrhage."

The beauty queen also said that the intense media coverage following her accident "has caused, and continues to cause, severe emotional distress distinct from, and in addition to, the distress arising from her physical injuries."

Meanwhile, the MUO said in a statement sent to People that the organization has yet to receive the lawsuit.

“The Organization has not been served with, nor has it received, any lawsuit, claim, demand letter, or subpoena from Ms. Henry or anyone acting on her behalf. We are therefore not in a position to comment on claims we have not seen.”

Henry returned to Jamaica on December 20, almost a month after the accident.

She fell from the main stage during the evening gown portion of the Miss Universe 2025 preliminary competition and had to be carried out on a stretcher.

Her family and MUO confirmed that she suffered “intracranial hemorrhage with loss of consciousness, a fracture, facial lacerations and other significant injuries.” —Hermes Joy Tunac/JCB, GMA News
