The Miss Universe Organization Reaffirms Ownership, Leadership, and Long-Term Vision
January 2nd, 2026
The Miss Universe Organization is entering an important chapter in its history as it prepares to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Miss Universe competition, a milestone that reflects decades of global influence, cultural relevance, and an enduring commitment to empowerment. As part of this historic moment, the organization will continue to highlight initiatives, plans, and activities developed in collaboration with its global partners and stakeholders.
The organization also finds it necessary to address recent false and misleading statements regarding its ownership and leadership. These statements have been made seeking to misrepresent ownership, falsely suggest acquisition or purchasing opportunities, and create confusion. Such actions appear designed to deceive the public, improperly solicit investments, and exploit the Miss Universe brand for personal benefit, visibility, or advantage. In response, the Miss Universe Organization states clearly and unequivocally:
The Miss Universe Organization remains under its current ownership and leadership.
The Miss Universe Organization is actively reviewing these matters with its legal advisors and will take all appropriate and necessary steps to address and prevent further false, misleading, or unauthorized actions or statements. The organization remains committed to protecting its integrity, its partners, and the public from deception or misuse of its name, brand, and reputation.
As the organization moves forward, it does so with the same vision, leadership, and long-term commitment that have guided its growth and success. This continuity remains fundamental to the organization’s mission, values, and strategic direction.
The Miss Universe Organization encourages the public, partners, and members of the media to rely solely on its official channels for accurate and verified information. Updates regarding the organization, including matters related to leadership and structure, are published exclusively on the official website at www.missuniverse.com.
Grounded in its legacy and focused on the future, the Miss Universe Organization continues to advance its global mission of women’s empowerment, social responsibility, and community engagement. Through advocacy, education, and philanthropic efforts around the world, the organization remains committed to uniting communities, amplifying women’s voices, and creating meaningful, lasting impact across cultures and borders as it enters this landmark era.
