But it\u2019s like, \u2018Are you serious?\u2019 That was really scary.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the same article, a representative from the host pageant organization, Miss Grand International (MGI), told <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PEOPLE<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in a statement, that \u201cthe incident occurred primarily because she missed her blocking and may not have been looking at the runway while walking. However, no one from MGI blamed her.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The MUO also pushed back on the notion that they thought Henry was in any way responsible for the tragic accident in their December 8 press release.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cCertain media reports suggesting that Dr. Henry contributed in any way to the incident are entirely inaccurate,\u201d the release stated. \u201cThe Miss Universe Organization has never attributed blame to Dr Henry and confirms that those suggestions are unfounded and do not reflect the facts.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The statement then ended by thanking everyone for their kind words and wishes for a speedy recovery, saying, \u201cDr. Henry and her family extend their heartfelt thanks to the people of Jamaica, the Miss Universe community, and supporters worldwide for the overwhelming outpouring of love, prayers, and encouragement.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async defer src=\"https:\/\/platform.instagram.com\/en_US\/embeds.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifeandstylemag.com\/posts\/the-miss-universe-organization-gives-update-on-miss-jamaica\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On November 19, Miss Jamaica Dr. Gabrielle Henry\u00a0fell off the stage during the Miss Universe competition and was rushed to the hospital.
