    Controversies

  • Miss Taiwan R.O.C. Wen-Yin Ting was ejected from the competition due to her refusal to exchange her initial sash that said "Taiwan R.O.C." for one that said "Chinese Taipei" after China pressured the organization to make the change.
  • Miss Earth India Aaital Khosla has garnered a lot of negative criticism after Miss Earth India's eco-video showed parts of Nepalese landscapes as one of her own nation. The video showcased the hills and mountain ranges including Mount Everest and the traffic scenes of Nepal’s cities. It also indicated that the Miss Earth India organization failed to cross check the facts, plagiarized the video clips, completing the eco-video in haste without any prior responsibility. Amid much criticism, Miss Earth India Organization, owned by Glamanand Super Model India, together with Aaital Khosla then apologized to the Nepalese citizens and the world.
