Miss Universe Jamaica's Gabrielle Henry in ICU after horrific accident

The pageant world continues to rally around Dr. Gabrielle Henry, Miss Universe Jamaica 2025, following a harrowing accident during the preliminary competition in Bangkok, Thailand. While the coronation of Mexico’s Fatima Bosch marked the end of the 74th Miss Universe pageant, the focus for many remains on the recovery of the 28-year-old ophthalmologist.

A Message of Resilience

Despite the trauma, Gabrielle shared a poignant update on her social media, reminding her supporters of her strength:

"As Miss Jamaica Universe 2025 and an ophthalmology resident, I am reminded that moments of darkness do not diminish vision; they refine it... In time, more will be shared. For now, my focus remains healing, purpose, and service. Light persists."

Controversy and Support

The accident sparked a wave of concern regarding stage safety protocols. While some reports suggested the organization initially tried to deflect blame, the MUO issued a formal statement clarifying that Dr. Henry was in no way at fault and that safety remains their top priority. Fellow contestants, including Miss Haiti, have publicly voiced their support, criticizing the initial handling of the event but praising Gabrielle’s character.
