Her victory was a bit controversial, as she had a heated exchange with one of the annual pageant's higher-ups -- and her eventual victory was questioned by a portion of the event's fanbase.

We're going to take a look into the background of the beauty pageant winner and see what led up to her being named the newest Miss Universe.

Fatima's Originally From Tabasco State

Fatima was born and raised in Teapa, in Mexico's Tabasco state, according to HOLA! USA.

The new Miss Universe was always interested in working in the fashion industry, and she studied fashion and apparel design during her days at the Universidad Iberoamericana in Mexico City, reports Cosmopolitan.

Fatima told HOLA! she wasn't always keen on entering beauty pageants, and she admitted she used to have "a poor impression" of the events.

However, she eventually got over her aversion, and she was named the Flor de Tabasco 2018 pageant winner.

She Had A Verbal Altercation With Miss Universe's Director

Fatima was crowned Miss Universe Mexico in September 2025, and she jetted off to Thailand to compete in the Miss Universe competition.

However, she became the subject of intense attention in early November 2025, when she had an altercation with Miss Universe Thailand's director, Nawat Itsaragrisil.

Itsaragrisil was speaking during a sash ceremony and accused Fatima of not participating in a promotional photoshoot ... and he called her a "dummy" ... prompting her to walk out of the room. Several other contestants followed suit in support.

Miss Universe Organization President Raul Rocha Cantu later released a statement about his "great indignation" toward Itsaragrisil for showing a "lack of respect" to Fatima during the ceremony.

Fatima's Victory Was Controversial

Although Fatima remained in the pageant, several judges quit prior to the final crowning ceremony, including the president of the Miss Universe selection committee, Princess Camilla di Borbone delle Due Sicilie.

Fatima won and was officially named Miss Universe on November 21, 2025.

Certain fans of the pageant didn't exactly come out in support of Fatima afterward, and many felt as if fan favorites from Thailand, the Philippines, or Cote d'Ivoire should have won.

The organization responded to claims of unfair judging in a statement, declaring the judging process followed the "established, transparent, and supervised MUO protocol."

How Mark Epstein Dealt With The Aftermath Of His Brother's Death

Published | Updated

Jeffrey Epstein's younger and only brother Mark never reached the level of notoriety as Jeffrey in his life ... but he still ended up going through some interesting times -- and his opinions about Jeffrey's death have brought him plenty of attention.

We're going to take a look into the background of the late financier and convicted sex offender's brother and see what he's had to say about the implications of Jeffrey's activities on the state of American politics.

Mark Moved From The Art World To Real Estate

Mark, 71, was raised with Jeffrey in Sea Gate, Brooklyn. He got his start in the art world when he attended Cooper Union, a private university, according to the Daily Beast.

He was named the chairman of the Cooper Union Board of Trustees in 2009. He held the position until 2015, when he stepped down following a controversy when the school started charging tuition at the formerly free institution.

Mark reportedly tried his hand at various ventures, including starting a modeling agency and running a silk-screening business.

He apparently entered the real estate world later in his career, and his real estate company, Ossa Properties, at one time managed about 500 renter-occupied apartments in New York City.

He Was Left Out of His Brother's Will

Mark and Jeffrey's relationship came under scrutiny in July 2019, when Mark offered up his Florida condo after his brother was arrested on sex trafficking charges, according to Business Insider.

Jeffrey killed himself in jail the following month. He had set up a will just two days prior to his death and detailed an estate worth more than $577 million -- all of which ended up going to a trust excluding his brother.

If there were no will, Mark would have been the recipient of all of his late sibling's wealth.

Mark's been vocal about his belief that Jeffrey didn't commit suicide in his jail cell, and he's alleged the Department of Justice engaged in a cover-up of what he calls his brother's murder.

Mark's Made Big Claims About The Epstein Files

Mark says his brother's death has ruffled feathers in Washington, claiming in an interview with NewsNation in November 2025 that the Epstein Files have been edited to protect members of the Republican Party from scrutiny. He alleged the House of Representatives would only be interested in releasing the files after a thorough "scrubbing" of the files.

Mark alleged his late brother "definitely had dirt" on President Donald Trump, whose connection to Jeffrey has been widely scrutinized for more than a decade.

Mark said he's not exactly aware of the extent of his brother's connections, and said Jeffrey "didn’t tell me what he knew."

Cleto Escobedo III had one of those careers not too many people get to enjoy -- because he worked alongside one of his childhood friends, Jimmy Kimmel, for many years.

However, the musician's stint as the late-night show host's bandleader came to an abrupt end in 2025 when he unexpectedly died.

We're going to take a look back at the saxophone player's history with Kimmel and see how his career in showbiz played out.

Cleto Was Childhood Friends With Jimmy

Escobedo was born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada. His father was a saxophone player who worked at Caesar's Palace as a busboy.

Escobedo and Kimmel -- who moved with his parents from Brooklyn, New York, to Las Vegas at an early age -- met when the comedian's family settled across the street from his future bandleader.

The pair grew incredibly close over the years, and Kimmel described their close connection as a "lifetime of friendship."

The musician started playing saxophone at an early age, and he later attended the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, although he ended up focusing on his musical career, according to The New York Times.

He Toured With Several Major Artists

Escobedo started his career by playing gigs at various venues on the Las Vegas Strip before he was asked to join Paula Abdul's touring band in 1990.

He eventually landed a record deal with Virgin Records, and he also toured with artists like Marc Anthony and Luis Miguel.

Escobedo was touring with Anthony when Kimmel asked him to serve as his band leader, and the comedian had to take ABC's higher-ups to see his childhood friend play live to convince them of his musical chops.

Escobedo served as Kimmel's band leader for over two decades, and he invited his father to join his band.

Jimmy Paid A Lengthy Tribute To Cleto On His Show

Kimmel announced Escobedo's death in a post on his Instagram account in November 2025.

Published

Kim's Spent Most of Her Life in Kentucky

Kim Davis has found herself at the center of some high-profile political situations ... one of which ended up reaffirming a monumental right of LGBTQ folks across the nation.

The former Kentucky county clerk was involved with a case that almost made it all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. We're going to take a look into Davis' background and see what happened with one of her appeals filed several years after the case involving her was decided.

Kim's Spent Most of Her Life in Kentucky

Davis was born in Morehead, Kentucky, and she's spent much of her life in Rowan County, Kentucky, where she formerly served as a county clerk.

Davis' mother served as Rowan County's county clerk for 37 years, and Kim worked for her mother for 27 years, according to CNN.

Kim has been married a total of four times. She remarried her second husband, whom she divorced in 2006, in 2009, according to Newsweek. She had two children during her first marriage, and she had two more kids out of wedlock.

Kim is a steadfast Christian -- she took up the faith in 2011 after her dying mother-in-law asked her to start attending church, reports NBC News.

She Spent Time in Jail in 2015

Davis first encountered controversy in 2015, when she refused to issue a marriage license to a gay couple, stating her religious beliefs prevented her from doing so ... despite the landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision in Obergefell v. Hodges, which legalized same-sex marriage and made state bans unconstitutional earlier that year.

Davis was arrested for contempt of court for refusing to issue licenses months after Obergefell was decided, and she spent five days in jail. The couple in question sued Davis.

She was subsequently ordered to pay just over $360,000 in legal fees and damages to the couple, according to The Guardian.

Davis' Appeal Was Turned Down by the U.S. Supreme Court

Davis appealed a loss to the couple ... and lost her appeal to 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in March this year. She then petitioned the Supreme Court to take up the case, NBC News reports. She claimed the Obergefell decision is "legal fiction," according to ABC News.

Davis challenged the Supreme Court's Obergefell decision, but the appeal was shot down. The court didn't comment. The court's denial of Davis' appeal doesn't set any legal precedent.

Kysre ended up being waived by the Sky later in the year, and she joined the AU Pro Basketball league in 2025.

Kysre Formerly Dated An NBA Star

Kysre's love life's been connected to the court, as she was formerly in a relationship with Kevin Porter Jr., who currently plays for the Milwaukee Bucks.

However, the pair's relationship became the subject of controversy in 2023, when the athlete's former boyfriend allegedly assaulted her at a hotel in Manhattan.

Although Kysre told the New York Post her former boyfriend hadn't hit her, Porter later pled guilty to misdemeanor assault and a harassment violation in relation to the alleged incident, according to ESPN.

She was later linked to NBA star Jaylen Brown, and the pair attended the 2024 ESPYs together.

She Was Named As Miss June 2025

Kysre's maintained an active life off the court, as the athlete was named as Playboy's Miss June 2025 in October 2025.

The publication made the big news known by sharing a post on Instagram. It's worth noting she's become the first current professional basketball player to have ever been named as a Playmate.
