Miss Jamaica 2025, Gabrielle Henry, is on the road to recovery after her unexpected fall during the Miss Universe preliminary rounds in Thailand last week. The incident, which happened during the evening gown segment on November 19, left fans worried as videos of the moment quickly spread online.
Now, the Miss Universe Organisation has finally shared a calm and clear update – and the good news is that Gabrielle is doing much better.
Health Update On Miss Jamaica
The organisation's president, Raul Rocha, released an official statement, which was also shared on the Miss Jamaica social media pages. The focus of the update was simple: Gabrielle's health comes first, and she is recovering well.
The statement started by addressing the huge amount of speculation online. It read, “Out of respect for Dr Henry and her family, the Organisation maintains strict discretion regarding specific details of her medical status… matters concerning her health should be communicated only at the appropriate time and solely at the family's discretion, or by Dr Henry herself.”
Raul Rocha also explained exactly what happened behind the scenes right after the 28-year-old ophthalmologist fell off the stage. He said that the moment she slipped off the edge of the stage, the team acted fast. He wrote, “Immediate action was taken to ensure her safety and well-being. I personally entered the stage to assist her, coordinated urgent medical attention, and oversaw her immediate transfer to the hospital.”
Raul Rocha added that he stayed with her at the hospital and even spoke directly with her family. To make sure she got the best possible care, he recommended extra medical checks – even more than what is normally done. According to him, several specialists were brought in to fully assess her condition.
