When the new Miss Universe, R’Bonney Gabriel from the United States, was crowned in New Orleans, she was the first winner under new pageant owner Anne Jakrajutatip.The millionaire, whose Thai-based company, JKN Global Group, purchased the pageant in October 2022, may confuse some with her deep masculine baritone voice.

Her company acquired Miss Universe from Endeavor Group Holdings-owned IMG Worldwide, who, in turn, had purchased it from Donald Trump.“I don’t call Miss Universe a beauty pageant anymore. I call it a women’s empowerment competition,” Anne Jakapong Jakrajutatip said.Sometimes stylized as Anne JKN, the businesswoman claims to be a role model in her country, applauding the fact that in Thailand they "really celebrate trans people.”However, the speech pushing "empowerment" made by a biological male did not impress Internet users who tuned in to watch the final of a beauty pageant that positions itself as "RUN BY WOMEN FOR WOMEN." Some remarked tongue-in-cheek that the competition was not to be run by "wee men," in reference to the woke agenda about “gender-neutral” pronouns.Others were amazed at how women in the audience were clapping, while they "should be angry." A wave of indignant comments swept the internet.

R’Bonney Gabriel from the United States became the new Miss Universe in New Orleans, Louisiana, on Saturday night, receiving the crown from last year’s winner, India's Harnaaz Sandhu. But there was a marked difference with the 71st edition of the beauty pageant.

When the new Miss Universe, R’Bonney Gabriel from the United States, was crowned in New Orleans, she was the first winner under new pageant owner Anne Jakrajutatip.

The millionaire, whose Thai-based company, JKN Global Group, purchased the pageant in October 2022, may confuse some with her deep masculine baritone voice. In effect, the mother of two, Anne Jakapong Jakrajutatip, 43, is transgender. Her company acquired Miss Universe from Endeavor Group Holdings-owned IMG Worldwide, who, in turn, had purchased it from Donald Trump.

“I don’t call Miss Universe a beauty pageant anymore. I call it a women’s empowerment competition,” Anne Jakapong Jakrajutatip said.

Sometimes stylized as Anne JKN, the businesswoman claims to be a role model in her country, applauding the fact that in Thailand they "really celebrate trans people.”

However, the speech pushing "empowerment" made by a biological male did not impress Internet users who tuned in to watch the final of a beauty pageant that positions itself as "RUN BY WOMEN FOR WOMEN."

Some remarked tongue-in-cheek that the competition was not to be run by "wee men," in reference to the woke agenda about “gender-neutral” pronouns.
