A former Miss Universe judge has claimed the company likely filed for bankruptcy in part owing to the outrage over its decision to allow transgender contestants to compete in pageants.
Emily Austin, who served as a 2022 Miss Universe judge, made the comments during an interview with Fox News that aired on Nov. 16, shortly after JKN Global Group, the Thai owner of the Miss Universe pageant, filed for bankruptcy.
