Kylie Verzosa urged Miss Grand International (MGI) president Nawat Itsaragrisil to take down a post containing her personal number, saying the latter might have “accidentally” posted it on a public platform.
Verzosa called out Itsaragrisil on her Instagram Story on Thursday, May 29, stating that she had reached out to the MGI head and his team through a personal message.
“Hi @nawat.tv, I sent you and your team a message. You accidentally posted the wrong number that happens to be mine. I don’t know how it ended up there or why you have it, but I am getting bothered by calls at the minute. Please take it down,” she said.

Itsaragrisil apologized to the Miss International titleholder on his Instagram Story hours later.
“Hi, I deleted it already. Someone sent to ask me and I just saw the name and reply to my [Instagram] story. I do apologize again.”

While it remains unknown where the MGI president had posted Verzosa’s number, he previously uploaded a supposed copy of now-dethroned MGI titleholder Rachel Gupta’s passport information that contained a contact number with the Philippines’ area code.
The post has since been deleted as of this writing.
Itsaragrisil has made headlines following the recent abdication of Gupta, who cited alleged mistreatment and lack of support for titleholders as among her reasons. The Thai businessman, however, claimed that the latter had been “unprofessional” throughout her reign.
Gupta’s termination gives way to the coronation of the Philippines’ own CJ Opiaza, who will assume the title on June 3. /ra
