Miss Jamaica 'isn't doing as well' three days after fall from Miss Universe stage

Miss Jamaica Gabrielle Henry is still at the hospital three days after falling off the stage during the Miss Universe preliminary competition.

According to a new update from the Miss Universe Jamaica Organization, Henry is still in Thailand with her mother and her sister, Dr. Henry-Samuels, who said that the beauty queen "isn't doing as well as we would have hoped."

"But the hospital continues to treat her accordingly," Henry-Samuels said.

Henry is required to stay in the Intensive Care Unit of the hospital for at least seven days as she continues to receive specialized care and monitoring.

The organization then asked the public to keep Henry in their prayers.

"We also encourage friends, supporters, and well-wishers worldwide to join in lifting her in love, strength, and hope. We respectfully ask the public and social media users to avoid sharing negative comments, misinformation, or speculation that may cause further distress to the family," the statement said.

"Our primary focus remains on Gabrielle's recovery and the well-being of her loved ones. We kindly request continued compassion, sensitivity, and privacy as the family navigates this challenging period," it ended.

Henry, who is an ophthalmologist, tumbled off stage as she took part in the Miss Universe 2025 evening gown competition.

A video posted by an audience member showed Henry walking across the stage in an orange gown on the evening of Nov. 19 at the IMPACT Challenger in Thailand. She was participating in the last preliminary round before the pageant's coronation night on Nov. 21. 

Suddenly, to gasps in the audience, the 28-year-old physician was seen tumbling into the orchestra pit. A few moments later, as other videos showed, she was wheeled out of the pit in a stretcher and hurried off stage.

She was then rushed to the Paolo Rangsit Hospital, MUJ said.
