berated

The beauty pageant drew backlash earlier this month after its Thailand director Nawat Itsaragrisil publicly berated Miss Mexico, Fatima Bosch, at a pre-pageant event for not posting promotional content on her social media platforms.

There, Foden and senior staff "berated" her daughter for hours, she said, and warned her that her comments could "ruin her future" and affect her chances of getting into university.

Several contestants have walked out of a Miss Universe event after an official from host nation Thailand publicly berated Miss Mexico in a tense confrontation.

Also on Wednesday, Sheinbaum voiced support for Mexico’s Miss Universe representative, who walked out of the pageant along with several other contestants after she was berated by a male pageant official, who called her “dumb.”

In another, The Binoculars, a child starting school is berated by the teacher for already knowing how to read.
