Hindi naging maganda ang dating kay Miss Grand International founder Nawat Itsaragrisil ng isang lumang vlog ni Miss Universe Philippines 2014 MJ Lastimosa.
Ang nasabing vlog ay inilabas ni MJ sa kanyang channel noong September 4, 2023, kung saan in-interview niya ang transgender beauty queen na si Maki Gingoyon.
Dito ay tinanong ni MJ si Maki, “What’s the worst pageant in the Philippines?”
Sagot ni Maki, “Miss Grand.”
Sundot ni MJ, “Philippines or International?”
Tugon ni Maki, “Philippines. And international.”
Sabay silang nagtawanan matapos nito.
Umuusok naman sa galit si Nawat, na isang Thai national, matapos makarating sa kanya ang naturang video.
Sabi nito, hindi siya makapaniwalang lait-laitin ni MJ ang kanyang inaalagaang beauty pageant na pinuri-puri pa noon ng Pinay beauty queen.
Sa isang TikTok live, sinermunan ni Nawat si MJ.
Panimula niya, “I met her many times. I’m really friendly and offer her a lot of things.
“She always said, ‘O, Miss Grand is number one and the huge production.’
“So, that’s why last year she fly, buy her own ticket to Indonesia, and ask me favor the ticket, favor going inside backstage to doing the clip or interview, even interview myself.
“I help her everything because I’m friendly and appreciate in that time because I think if friend it must be better than others.
“So when I went to Manila, anytime we keep calling, we are the good friend and I help her a lot.
“Even this year in Vietnam, she come to Ho Chi Minh, she came to Ho Chi Minh, she came to watch Miss Grand.
“Before she leave from the hotel Rex Hotel at the lobby. I meet her at the lobby before she leave.
“A couple day after coronation night, we say, ‘Oh, I love you. I like Miss Grand. Miss Grand is okay, number one.'”
NO MORE RELATIONSHIP
Dagdag pa ni Nawat, hindi siya makapaniwala sa mga pinagsasabi ni MJ dahil parang namamangka raw ito sa dalawang ilog.
Sabi ni Nawat, “And then what she said, she play two games. This is her.
“So the beauty is not from the body, from the face.
“The body of the people, the beauty of the people must more come from inside and brain.
“Now I know you are not beauty at all. Joking. I am very sincere to meet you.
“I am very sincere to talk to you.
“But if you’re not sincere and you act different way, when you met me, you sweet talk.
“When you want something from me, you sweet talk. I favor, I give you all the time.”
Himutok pa ni Nawat, matapos ang lahat ng kanyang pabor kay MJ, bakit daw ganun ang naging tanong nito sa kanyang vlog? At bakit daw sila tumatawa sa video?
Kaya mula raw noon ay tinapos na niya ang anumang pagkakaibigan nila ni MJ at ng kanyang organization.
Saad pa niya, “And after that, what you say, what is your question? What is your laughing? What is your joking?
“If it true, I don’t. It’s not true. I got the prize. I got best beauty pageant of the year.
“I have a good production. But you do that like this.
“I think we are no more, any more relationship in between MJ and our organization and myself.
“Don’t come to Miss Grand anymore. Okay? We don’t know each other from now.
“I don’t want to meet the people like you. It’s below standard. It’s not sincere.”
Wala pang reaction si MJ sa isiniwalat ni Nawat.
Samantala, nag-viral din si Nawat nitong nakaraang linggo dahil sa pambabatikos niya kay Miss Grand Philippines 2023 Nikki de Moura.
Hindi raw kasi ito naging cooperative sa activities ng Miss Grand International 2023 sa Vietnam.
