Miss Jamaica, Dr. Gabrielle Henry, tumbled off the stage at the Miss Universe competition in Bangkok, Thailand.
While strutting down the stage, Henry suddenly fell. She was taken away on a stretcher, according to viral videos, and another woman, Fatima Bosch, went on to win the Miss Universe pageant.
Now, concern is growing for Henry. Her official Instagram page posted a condition update from her sister, who revealed that the beauty queen isn't doing as well as hoped. The exact nature of her illness has not been revealed.
However, in a further update, the president of the pageant indicated that her condition is improving. “Today, we are pleased to share that the latest medical report confirms that Dr. Gabrielle Henry is in good health and nearing discharge,” Raul Rocha wrote. “We will continue to communicate only essential information with professionalism, sensitivity, and respect.” He wasn't specific about the nature of her health concerns.
His update came after a more troubling statement from her sister.
"This is an official update regarding the medical condition of Dr. Gabrielle 'Gabby' Henry, who remains hospitalised in Thailand. Her sister, Dr. Phylicia Henry-Samuels, who is currently in Thailand with their mother, Maureen Henry, advised the organization on the latest developments," the statement on Instagram read. It was posted on November 22.
According to Dr. Henry-Samuels, “Gabby isn’t doing as well as we would have hoped, but the hospital continues to treat her accordingly.”
"Medical personnel have further indicated that Gabrielle will be required to remain in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for a minimum of seven (7) days, as doctors continue their close monitoring and specialised care," added the statement.
The Miss Jamaica pageant called the situation a "profoundly difficult time" and asked fans to say prayers for the contestant.
The pageant also asked people not to spread "misinformation," speculation, or "negative" information about Miss Jamaica, saying that it causes the family distress.
"Our primary focus remains on Gabrielle's recovery and the well-being of her loved ones," the pageant wrote.
On November 20, the pageant wrote, "The Miss Universe Jamaica Organization wishes to advise the public that Dr. Gabrielle Henry, Miss Universe Jamaica 2025, experienced a fall from the main stage during the evening gown round of the preliminary competition ahead of this weekend’s Miss Universe Finals in Thailand."
Henry "was rushed to the Paolo Rangsit Hospital, where medical professionals are attending to her care and have advised that she is not suffering from any life-threatening injuries; however, they continue to conduct tests to ensure her full recovery," the Miss Jamaica pageant noted.
Raul Rocha, the owner of the Miss Universe pageant, wrote on Instagram that he had visited Miss Jamaica in the hospital and there were "no broken bones."
"She is under good care," he wrote, adding that she would remain under observation at the hospital.
