A Thai businesswoman and transgender advocate purchased the Miss Universe pageant for $20,000 million, her company announced this week. Chakrapong “Anne” Chakrajutathib is a celebrity in Thailand who has starred in reality shows and is outspoken about being transgender.

Her company, JKN Global Group Public Co. Ltd., wrote in a news release Wednesday that it acquired the rights to the Miss Universe pageant from IMG Worldwide, which has owned the Miss Universe Organization since 2015. Former U.S. President Donald Trump was part owner of the pageant rights from 1996 until IMG’s purchase. The pageant is broadcast in 165 countries, according to IMG.

In a statement, Chakrajutathib described the purchase as “a strong, strategic addition to our portfolio.” JKN, which is involved in content distribution, beverages, food supplements, beauty and consumer products, said the Miss Universe name will be used to promote its consumer products.

  1. Wow! So guess is real women will be kicked out of the pageant with time and Miss Universe will be dominated by men (transgender women). Soon it will be mostly transgender women will take over a d real biological women won't stand a chance to participate or compete in this beauty pageant.

  2. Greed destroys the soul! Please do not rob natural-born women with the opportunities they deserve. Miss USA won the Anita Green suit. Transwomen should not be allowed to compete in pageants originally and traditionally catered to natural-born women.

  3. if the Miss Universe 2018 held in Thailand which includes a transgender contestant is a premonition of things to come, it is now a reality. Castrated transgenders with bouncing fake boobs will now be an integral part of the show, and the first humanity-loving, willing-to-help-the-poor lady born with a set of balls but decided she does not need it will soon be proclaimed the winner. Thailand will forever be in its runner-up lists, winning every couple of years. Knowing how Thais set their own rules, MISS UNIVERSE'S TIME HAS JUST ENDED IN ONE FELL SWOOP

  4. Living with HSV1 & 2 and HS wasn’t easy for me, having the symptoms, flares up, pains , outbreaks.nothing really really help, untill I went natural .I was able to get rid of it long term with vegan/gluten free diet and natural protocol from DR.UWENBOHERBALHOME youtube channel.. it was a great experience and also was a breakthrough for me🎉🎉🎉

  5. After living in Thailand for over 18 years, you’re not shocked to see a transgender or “ladyboy”. They’re clerks, cashiers, waitresses, business executives… But it’s the sheltered Americans that overreact to seeing them when visiting Thailand.

  6. EPIGRAM

    There was an old President Biden,

    (Who could not even his bicycle riding…)

    From Pennsylvania, with a strange mania… —

    He climbed on the roof of the White House:

    To look for Ukraine… with a smile to full mouth.

    Jill cried, "Oh, Joe, you're about to fall!"

    – Don't bother, – only to the ground … My Doll!

    Russian (worker, anarchist)

  7. BTC is the future of crypto and the questions traders ask themselves now if this is right time to invest? before jumping into conclusion i think you should take a look at things first. for the past few days the price of BTC has been fluctuating which means the market is currently unstable and you cant tell if it is going bearish or bullish. while others still continue to trade without the fear of making lose, others are being patient. it all depends on the pattern with which you trade and also the source of your signals. i would say trading has been going smoothly for me, i started with $15,000 and i have accumulated over $64,000 in just three weeks, with the trading strategy given by expert trader Mr George philip
