Clarification and Apology from Organizers

Miss Universe El Salvador organizers admitted the mistake, attributing it to the rush during the live broadcast, and clarifying that Thailand was indeed part of the announced Top 5 finalists instead of Michelle Dee. Apologizing for the confusion, the organization expressed regret to both finalists for the unintended error, emphasizing that they had no special access to results and heard them at the same time with the audience.

Outcome for Dee and Miss Universe Winner

Michelle Dee concluded her run in the Top 10 of the Miss Universe competition, while Thailand’s bet Anntonia Porsild ended up as the 1^st runner-up. Meanwhile, Miss Nicaragua Sheynnis Palacios secured the prestigious Miss Universe crown in the event.
