Two Miss Universe judges quit scandal-ridden pageant

Two judges have exited the Miss Universe pageant amid claims of rigged selection processes. Lebanese-French judge Omar Harfouch and French football manager Claude Makélélé resigned from the jury, with Harfouch alleging a pre-selected group of finalists before the competition in Thailand. This follows previous controversies where contestants walked out due to a host nation official's remarks. Harfouch pointed out an "impromptu jury" selecting finalists in a manner not involving the official jury members.
