Miss Universe Organization Denies Ownership Claims, Reaffirms Independent Status: The Miss Universe Organization (MUO) has firmly denied recent reports circulating online and across Thai media suggesting that TCG Social Media Group Company Limited has acquired or is in the process of acquiring ownership rights to the global pageant brand. In a strong clarification, MUO stated that the claims are false, misleading, and have no legal or factual basis.
Clear Ownership Structure
To begin with, MUO emphasized that it is a privately held and fully independent company, with its ownership clearly registered with the appropriate corporate authorities. Contrary to the rumors, no entity—including TCG Social Media Group—is purchasing, managing, or obtaining any rights related to the Miss Universe brand.
Additionally, MUO stated that no negotiations, contracts, share transfers, or licenses are underway with TCG or its representatives.
False Information Creates Confusion
Moreover, the organization noted that these unauthorized statements and press materials have created widespread confusion among media, sponsors, national directors, pageant participants, and global partners. MUO expressed concern that such communications may violate intellectual property laws and could mislead the public.
Strict Legal Action Possible
The organization went a step further, making it clear that it will take civil and criminal legal action if necessary to protect its trademarks, branding, and global reputation. Unauthorized or deceptive use of the MUO name, logo, or imagery will be addressed with decisive measures.
Verified Channels Only
Therefore, MUO strongly encouraged stakeholders, the press, and the global audience to rely solely on official MUO communication channels. Any statements about ownership or control of the organization that do not come directly from MUO should be considered unreliable.
Upholding Transparency and Integrity
In conclusion, the organization reaffirmed its commitment to transparency, responsible communication, and community trust, acknowledging the continued support of the worldwide Miss Universe family.
The statement provides a unified message: the Miss Universe Organization remains independent, vigilant, and determined to protect its brand integrity as misinformation continues to circulate.
