Sofia Vergara Consoles Miss Colombia After Miss Universe Controversy

Ariadna Gutierrez Arévalo of Sincelejo ended on the second spot, whereas Olivia Jordan of Tulsa finished third. “For me (she was robbed) as the real victor”.

She further added, “I want to show the world, the universe rather, that I am confidently attractive with a heart”.

As Miss Colombia’s nation seethes from the humiliation, a hashtag began trending: #Lacoronaserespeta, which means ‘the crown must be respected.’ Despite the fact that Miss Philippines was declared the rightful victor, many still believe the crown should remain upon Miss Colombia’s head where it first Saturday. The Las Vegas Strip was soon jammed with ambulances and fire trucks, and authorities said at least 30 people were taken to a hospital to be treated for injuries and one person was killed.

The fallout from Sunday’s show made Harvey an online symbol of “oops” moments, drew a reaction from Colombia’s president and even a gloating tweet from Donald Trump, the pageant’s former owner.

He held up the card for Fox network cameras to see up close.

Harvey said he didn’t know ahead of time who won. After having sold the rights to Miss Universe to WME/IMG, Trump no longer has a part in the pageants, but that didn’t stop him from giving his opinion.

Miss Universe released a statement hoping to calm the waves and diffuse the negative attention Harvey was facing. Miss Colombia herself is being laughed at and was called “Miss Universe for 3 minutes” in Colombian headlines. And a transcribing error caused the wrong author’s name to be announced for a National Book Award in 2011.

Miss Columbia, who lost the most in the mix up, was also understanding and still grateful for the experience. I’d say they’re both winners for how they handled themselves in such an uncomfortable and upsetting situation.

“Everything happens for a reason, so I’m happy for all [that] I did”. “I’ll tell you what I think I’d do”.
