According to reports, the Miss Universe Organization is investigating reports that a judge at the Miss Texas USA competition might have formed an early judgment about one of the contestants, which could have influenced the contest’s outcome. It has been suggested that this premature opinion may have been shared among judges, potentially affecting objective scoring.

The organization announced it is reviewing this situation through interviews with those involved in the judging process and an examination of competition scoring. They have stressed their commitment to ensuring a fair competition and that the integrity of the scoring process is upheld in every aspect of the pageant.

If the investigation determines that fair judging did not occur, measures will be implemented to address any discrepancies found, reaffirming the organization’s dedication to upholding equitable standards throughout the competition.
