According to the newspaper, Itsaragrisil did not listen, but demanded verbal confirmation from Miss that she would be ready to publish updates from Thailand. Itsaragrisil claimed to have acted in the interests of her country’s beauty pageant leader and called Bosch a fool.
Itsaragrisil then asked why Bosch was still standing at the event, after already disqualifying him from the competition.
– Because I have a voice. You don’t respect me as a woman, Bosch replied, according to the magazine.
