Miss Cosmo Raises Alarm Over Alleged Threats to National Directors

The Miss Cosmo Organization has issued a strongly worded statement following what it describes as alarming developments during a recent National Directors meeting. According to Trần Việt Bảo Hoàng, a leading figure within the Miss Cosmo leadership, the organization received credible reports that certain parties associated with a major international beauty competition have attempted to pressure National Directors by threatening to revoke their licenses. The alleged condition? That these directors must sever their partnerships with Miss Cosmo or risk losing their official affiliations with the other competition.

This revelation arrives at a particularly sensitive moment, as contestants from around the world are actively engaged in the final days of the Miss Cosmo competition. The pressure on National Directors, who serve as key intermediaries between global organizations and local talent, has been described as both unethical and disruptive to the fair conduct of the competition. Miss Cosmo leadership emphasizes that such tactics, which rely on coercion and fear, signal a deeper insecurity and resistance to change within the pageant industry. 

The statement, published publicly by Trần Việt Bảo Hoàng, directly criticizes the approach of using intimidation to stifle healthy competition and progressive collaboration. It suggests that these actions reflect a fear of being replaced or outperformed, rather than a show of genuine strength. The organization did not name the specific competitor involved, but the timing and context of the statement suggest growing rivalry in the international pageant landscape.


Miss Cosmo reaffirmed its commitment to empowering women globally, highlighting its mission to create enduring value through female leadership, innovation, and community impact. The organization insisted that its National Directors must be allowed to uplift women in their regions without undue interference, especially from other pageant bodies seeking to control or monopolize participation.

A central message in the statement revolves around Miss Cosmo’s effort to foster a global network of empowered women who are free to collaborate, speak up, and drive meaningful change. By doing so, the organization hopes to reframe the pageant industry from a purely competitive arena into a platform for empowerment and advocacy.

Despite the alleged threats, Miss Cosmo declared its resolve to stand firm against any attempts to derail its progress. The closing sentiments of the statement carry a defiant tone: “You may attempt to slow us down or weaken our progress. However, you will never stop us from standing firm and rising stronger.” A metaphor used in the final line—"you try to burn a dragon nest, next time you'll have to face a whole empire"—reflects the organization's rising confidence as it looks ahead to Miss Cosmo 2025, under the powerful banner “Rising Dragon.”


These developments underline the mounting pressure and competitive tension among international beauty pageants, particularly as newer organizations like Miss Cosmo rise in influence and challenge longstanding hierarchies in the industry. As global audiences and contestants alike push for transparency, inclusivity, and integrity, the dynamics of pageantry continue to shift, setting the stage for a new era in global beauty competitions.
