Medical Report Details Serious Injuries to Miss Jamaica After Devastating Stage Fall

The Miss Universe Organization has released a detailed medical report on the condition of Miss Jamaica, Dr. Gabrielle Henry, who suffered a catastrophic fall during the pageant's preliminary rounds in Bangkok last month, confirming she suffered traumatic brain and facial injuries.

According to a press release issued on December 8, 2025, Henry fell from the stage on November 19 and has remained in critical condition. The organization detailed that the "serious fall" caused an intracranial hemorrhage (brain bleed), a fracture, significant facial lacerations, and loss of consciousness. She has been under intensive neurological care since the incident.

Organization Assumes Full Responsibility and Dismisses Blame

In its statement, the Miss Universe Organization firmly rejected any suggestion that the accident was Henry's fault, calling such online claims "entirely inaccurate." The organization stressed it has "never attributed any fault" to the delegate.

"From the time the incident took place, the Miss Universe Organization has stood beside Gabrielle and her family as if she were their own," the statement read. "We have assumed full and immediate responsibility."

A Pageant Marred by Controversy

Henry's tragic accident occurred against a backdrop of unprecedented chaos at this year's competition. The event was already embroiled in controversy, with reports of the co-owners facing legal issues and public disputes with contestants.

During the competition, Miss Mexico, Fatima Bosch, walked out of a key event after a pageant official publicly insulted her. Other delegates who defended her were allegedly threatened with disqualification, leading to a mass walkout that disrupted the proceedings. Miss Universe Haiti, Melissa Sapini, later described the overall atmosphere as "absolutely diabolical," casting doubt on the future appeal of the pageant for young women.

Family Expresses Gratitude, Focus Remains on Recovery

Henry's family released a message expressing profound gratitude for the global outpouring of support from Jamaicans, the Miss Universe community, and well-wishers worldwide. Their immediate focus remains on her complex medical journey and safe return home.

The organization's comprehensive response and assumption of financial responsibility mark a clear effort to manage the fallout from one of the most serious accidents in the pageant's modern history.

Sheikh Gumi Alleges Foreign Powers are Financing Terrorists in Nigeria

Prominent Islamic cleric Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has accused unnamed foreign nations of supporting terrorist groups in Nigeria, citing a sudden reversal of security gains in recent months as evidence of external interference. In a significant and provocative claim, Nigerian Islamic scholar Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has alleged that international actors are providing backing to terrorists operating within the country. During an interview with the BBC Hausa Service, Sheikh Gumi pointed to deteriorating security in areas that had shown marked improvement. He specifically highlighted the Abuja-Kaduna highway, which had become safer for travelers, and the farmlands around Birnin Gwari in Kaduna State, where farmers had cautiously returned to their fields after years of abandonment. "The situation on the ground contradicts earlier signs of improvement," Gumi stated, arguing that the recent surge in attacks suggests renewed support for armed groups. "This sudden rever...
