The Miss Universe Jamaica Organisation has renewed its call for international prayers, as Dr Gabrielle Henry remains in intensive care after falling from the stage during the evening gown preliminary at the 2025 Miss Universe competition.
The call for ongoing prayer support came as the wider pageant community also reflected on a deeply Christian moment shared by this year’s winner.
Dr Phylicia Henry-Samuels, speaking from Thailand where she stayed with their mother, told the organisation that her sister “isn’t doing as well as we would have hoped."
Medical personnel advised that Henry would remain in the ICU for at least seven days, with doctors closely monitoring her and providing specialised care.
In a statement, the Miss Universe Jamaica Organisation asked Jamaicans and international supporters to keep Henry “in their prayers,” and encouraged supporters to lift her “in love, strength, and hope.”
The organisation also urged the public to avoid negative comments or speculation, stressing that its focus remains on Henry’s recovery and the well-being of her family.
Henry suffered a serious head injury during the fall, prompting her immediate withdrawal and medical intervention.
The accident occurred as the Miss Universe 2025 pageant continued in Bangkok, where Mexico’s Fatima Bosch was crowned the new titleholder on 21st November 2025.
Moments after her earlier victory at the Miss Universe Mexico pageant, Bosch, who is a Catholic, shouted, “¡Viva Cristo Rey!”, which means “Long Live Christ the King!”, a statement that resonated strongly across the global Christian community.
