Miss Germany Rips Into Miss Universe Outcome
Radulovic said that the candidates were confused on what was happening onstage, but knew that Harvey made a mistake when he returned on the stage. “I’m so sorry to say it”, she added. But many colombianos fear that trauma is ahead for their queen.
The Miss Universe 2015 contest has ended in confusion and disarray after the host mistakenly named the wrong woman as the victor.
Radulovic’s statement seemed to counter a behind-the-scenes Snapchat which went viral minutes after the announcement which saw Harvey complaining to the producer that it was Miss Colombia who won the pageant. “Someone in production is fired…” tweeted Miss Alabama Meg McGuffin from the Miss USA pageant.
Mr Harvey said it was his mistake alone and that he would take responsibility for not correctly reading the card, which said that Wurtzbach was this year’s victor and Miss Colombia was actually the first runner-up.
The excruciating moment was aired on Fox in the U.S. and provoked a social media firestorm, with Harvey later addressing the furore himself on Twitter.
The aftermath has been vicious, with Harvey’s mistake causing turmoil across the world, especially for Miss Colombia’s nation who feels the most victimized in the situation.
Others are complaining that the deletion smacks of a conspiracy. “Censorship much?” tweeted @AriMarie101.
Harvey, the comedian, found himself the butt of Internet jokes Monday. The previous Miss Universe on NBC, in January, reached 7.7 million people.
In cringeworthy viewing, host Steve Harvey announced the wrong victor of the pageant on Sunday night as Colombia’s Ariadna Gutierrez was forced to hand over the crown to Wurtzbach.
“Sarah Lorraine is very happy a half-German girl brings the crown of course a bit to Germany as well. This was a terribly honest human mistake and I am so regretful”. “I’m so happy, thank you for voting for me!” “You both represented well for your countries, families and yourselves”.
Miss Universe’s Miss Germany Sarah-Lorraine Riek, who came unplaced in the competition, sparked outrage this week when she admitted she wasn’t happy with the result. “I am so sorry to say that”.
