Gabrielle Henry sues Miss Universe Organization over stage fall
Gabrielle Henry, Miss Universe Jamaica, has filed a lawsuit in Delaware Superior Court against the Miss Universe Organization and its parent companies, JKN Legacy Inc. and Legacy Holding Group USA. The legal action follows a severe fall Henry experienced during the preliminary portion of the 74th Miss Universe pageant in Bangkok, Thailand.
According to court documents, Henry fell into an unmarked and uncovered stage opening that was approximately five feet deep. She alleges that harsh lighting contributed to her inability to see the hazard. The fall resulted in significant injuries, including a traumatic brain injury, a subarachnoid hemorrhage, and a frontal lobe contusion. Henry reportedly spent seven days in intensive care and underwent months of hospitalization and rehabilitation.
The lawsuit includes five primary claims: negligence, premises liability, negligent hiring, retention, and supervision; negligent infliction of emotional distress; and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Henry is seeking damages to cover medical expenses and other related costs.
