Miss Phillipines on Cloud nine amid Miss Universe drama

Harvey read the card wrong, confuses the verdict and announces Miss Colombia as the victor.

The real Miss Universe – Wurtzbach – also spoke after what she called “a very non-traditional crowning”.

When asked why the women were crowded around Miss Colombia instead of congratulating Miss Philippines, Miss Germany responds rather frankly. This time there was a biracial beauty from Japan, a refugee immigrant from Australia and Indonesian Muslim girl too.

When he realized his mistake, Harvey blubbered and fumbled on about it being his fault, but social media was having none of his excuses.

As it turns out, her dreams were able to turn into a reality when host Steve Harvey introduced her to the stage by saying that she thought she had lost her chance, but she didn’t. It was neither the runner-up Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez nor the new Miss Universe Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach.

Has Miss Colombia won, it would have been the second consecutive year for a Miss Colombia to nab the Miss Universe title, after last year’s crowned victor, Paulina Vega.

Host Steve Hervey is going to struggle to live down the epic mistake after it was broadcast to millions of viewers around the world. “The photos are there to prove it. To me, as a Colombian, she is still Miss Universe”. However, he said he would’ve made Miss Colombia and Miss Philippines co-winners if he still owned the Miss Universe pageant.

Meanwhile, 21-year-old Miss Colombia broke her silence and gracefully stated, “Everything happens for a reason”.

“You can see from my reaction, I didn’t know whether to go up in front of the stage so I was a little bit hesitant as well because I wasn’t sure if the announcement was finally right”.

“Colombia was Miss Universe for two minutes”, said El Tiempo daily.

In a separate statement to TMZ, the president was more direct about the blunder.

Ariadna Gutierrez reacts backstage after being mistakenly crowned Miss Universe. “We feel very proud!” He retweeted someone else’s comment that Trump must be happy that the pageant had gone “off the rails” after he sold it.

He softened his tone later, calling Harvey a “great guy” who handled it well.
