Controversy

In January 2020, Miss Global organizers violated the pageant's rules, and as a result all jury members left the event, and the audience booed the event. Miss Global 2019 technically ended after the sportswear competition, after the top 11 contestants were announced. Next, the president of Miss Global, Van Pham, announced the winner by a single decision, without the presence of the jury. That same evening Miss Global staff advised the contestants to leave the hotel immediately and head to the airport as it was "not safe" anymore.[8] The first Miss Global staff member to react to the show's breach was Geri Doncheva, who resigned in protest against the breach of principle, but the pageant's chief executive, Van Pham, assured the model the withdrawal had nothing to do with the pageant.[40]
