Miss Jamaica, Dr. Gabrielle Henry, fell off the stage during the preliminary evening gown competition of the Miss Universe 2025 pageant in Bangkok, Thailand.
She was taken to the hospital on a stretcher but has since been confirmed to have sustained only minor injuries with no broken bones. The incident occurred on November 19 when Henry was walking the runway in an orange gown and high heels. In video footage, she can be seen posing at the front of the stage before stepping off the platform’s edge and tumbling down.
Help arrived quickly, and 28-year-old doctor and model Henry was taken to Paolo Rangsit Hospital for medical evaluation. Another video circulating online shows several people assisting the beauty queen and placing her onto a stretcher.
Despite the incident, the show continued uninterrupted.
Thai pageant director Nawat Itsaragrisil suggested nervousness might have contributed to the fall.
Meanwhile, the decision to continue the live show immediately after the incident drew criticism online. The pageant organisation had already been under scrutiny following a separate incident earlier in the competition where a pageant executive publicly criticised Miss Mexico.
Henry is an ophthalmologist and the founder of the See Me Foundation, a charity advocating for the visually impaired across Jamaica.
