Miss Colombia Thanks Fans After Mistaken Crowning
“I want to thank each and everyone of you who have sent messages of support and strength”, the Colombian beauty queen said on her post.

“Your destiny is written for you”, she continued. “And my destiny was this”.
TV host and comedian Steve Harvey, who made headlines after he mistakenly announced the wrong contestant as Miss Universe 2015 victor, was hired only “days before” the ceremony. She mentioned how Miss Philippines must be feeling incredible and on top of the world.
Riek explained in a statement posted on Dec 22 through Miss Universe Germany’s Facebook page that “she never meant to offend Miss Philippines in any way”, and that she “feels sorry for both girls”. Millions witnessed the awkward moment when the crown was removed from Miss Colombia’s head and placed onto Miss Philippines’. Miss Venezuela 2015, Mariana Jimenez, competes in the swimsuit competition during the 2015 Miss Universe Pageant at The Axis at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino on December 20, 2015 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Drilon said Wurtzbach’s previous defeat, when she joined the Binibining Pilipinas pageant in 2013 and 2014 but failing to win the Miss Universe-Philippines title, did not discourage her as she joined the pageant for the third time in 2015 and eventually won the crown.
Perez also genuinely felt that Miss Philippines was the better choice, and said the other judges were “so confused” when Miss Colombia’s name was first called as the victor of the pageant.
Some of them even tweeted that a front-row audience member allegedly slipped a different cue card to Harvey, while some went on to say that the host was drunk!
Aquino, aged 55, took charge as 15th President of the Philippines in June 2010 and is said to be close to Wurtzbach.
Former Miss World, Priyanka Chopra, at a recent promotional event for her upcoming movie, ‘Jai GangaaJal, ‘ commented on the Miss Universe fiasco.
