Shocking: Miss Universe crown taken away from Miss Colombia

Keen to show her support for the campaign, Miss Dominican Republic Clarissa Molina, 24, washed off her berry-hued lip tint and smoky eye make-up to proudly show off her natural complexion.

“Steve Harvey, the one who made the Miss Universe mistake, called the country “Columbia”, another article pointed out.

Adding insult to injury, after Harvey announced he had made a mistake, the crown was literally plucked from Miss Colombia’s head and placed on Miss Philippines. I don’t believe this has ever happened in the history of Miss Universe. I feel it is time we cut the swimsuit division from miss Universe, ‘ she stated. A proof of this is a video of her consoling and telling herself that everything has its own reason.

Santos had publicly celebrated a year ago when the previous Miss Colombia, Paulina Vega Dieppa, won the Miss Universe 2014 title.

Steve Harvey holds up the card showing the winners after he incorrectly announced Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez as the victor at the Miss Universe pageant on Sunday, Dec. 20, 2015, in Las Vegas.

While announcing the results, Wurtzbach was announced as the first runner-up and Miss Colombia Ariadna Guiterrez was named as the victor.

Harvey explained on the air that he misread the card he was given with the names of the winners.

The Filipino beauty queen was stunned. “I’m so happy, thank you for voting for me!”

“I was very happy for Miss Colombia because she really deserved it”, she said.

Radulovic, who belonged to the pageant’s top five, said that she felt “terrible” for Gutierrez and Wurtzbach. So, for a brief moment at least the contestant from Colombia was the Miss Universe. “For me Miss France was the real victor”, she said in an interview uploaded to Facebook page Missosology.
