During the 2015 international pageant's boot camp in [[Thailand]], Leyli withdrew before reaching the grand final stage and accused the international organizer of not providing enough food as well as bedtime for the contestants, which caused her health to become unstable and led her to withdraw.<ref name=viet/><ref name=viet2>{{cite web|url=https://nld.com.vn/van-hoa-van-nghe/lum-xum-thi-sinh-thi-hoa-hau-to-bi-ban-to-chuc-doi-xu-te-20151015171709518.htm|title=Lùm xùm thí sinh thi hoa hậu tố bị ban tổ chức đối xử tệ|date=16 October 2015|accessdate=17 September 2023|language=vi|website=Nld.com.vn|archivedate=16 September 2023|archiveurl=https://archive.today/20230916181730/https://nld.com.vn/van-hoa-van-nghe/lum-xum-thi-sinh-thi-hoa-hau-to-bi-ban-to-chuc-doi-xu-te-20151015171709518.htm}}</ref><ref name=viet3>{{cite web|url=https://vnexpress.net/ban-to-chuc-hoa-hau-hoa-binh-quoc-te-bi-to-bac-dai-thi-sinh-3296279.html|title=Ban tổ chức Hoa hậu Hòa bình Quốc tế bị tố bạc đãi thí sinh|date=15 October 2015|accessdate=17 September 2023|language=vi|publisher=[[VNExpress]]|archivedate=16 September 2023|archiveurl=https://archive.today/20230916182507/https://vnexpress.net/ban-to-chuc-hoa-hau-hoa-binh-quoc-te-bi-to-bac-dai-thi-sinh-3296279.html}}</ref> However, the organizer declared that after the examination in the hospital, the doctor concluded Leyli did not have any instability but she insisted on declaring that she was unwell and desired to retire from the competition.<ref name=manager>{{cite web|url=https://mgronline.com/entertainment/detail/9580000115981|title="ณวัฒน์" งัดหลักฐานแฉกลับ นางงามเคอร์ดิสถาน|language=th|date=16 October 2015|accessdate=17 September 2023|publisher=[[Manager Online]]|archivedate=16 September 2023|archiveurl=https://archive.today/20230916182830/https://mgronline.com/entertainment/detail/9580000115981}}</ref><ref name=viet2/><ref name=viet3/>
