“Everything happens for a reason so I’m happy for all that I did”, Gutierrez said.
Unlike neighbouring Venezuela, which has won seven Miss Universe titles, Colombians are accustomed to falling short of the crown, with five runner-up appearances since 1992 including Sunday’s.
When he realized his mistake, Harvey blubbered and fumbled on about it being his fault, but social media was having none of his excuses. Fortunately I wasn’t disappointed, as watching the host being forced to retroactively dethrone Miss Colombia and award the title to its actual victor, Miss Philippines, was a moment so excruciating that my skin felt like it was trying to turn inside out whilst watching it. The contestant from the Philippines was the new Miss Universe, not Miss Colombia. She said she tried to approach her backstage, but the Colombian contestant was crying and surrounded by a crowd of women.
“None of this was done on goal”. Again it was an honest mistake. That made it two straight Miss Universe winners for Colombia, where the pageants are taken seriously.
This video has been seen more than six million times around the world. The Miss Universe organization also issued an apology on Monday.
But seconds later, Santos had to reverse himself.
Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez (L) is mistakenly crowned Miss Universe 2015 by Miss Universe 2014 Paulina Vega (R) during the 2015 MISS UNIVERSE show at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino, in Las Vegas, California, on December 20, 2015. “We feel very proud”.
Trump actually sold the Miss Universe and Miss USA pageants three months ago.
He softened his tone in an interview on NBC’s Today Show, calling Harvey a “great guy” who handled it well. “Thank you to all for voting for me”.
It was a “terrible error”, he said, but “things happen. It’s live television”, he said. “I just kept reading the card and it said, ‘First runner-up, ‘ and I went ‘oh my goodness, ‘” Harvey recalled. “I don’t want to take away from this unbelievable night and pageant, as well as the wonderful contestants”.
“It was humiliating for the women”.
“It is my mistake”, he said.
It was an awkward moment for the businessman because a campaign controversy had imperiled the pageant organization. Congratulations Miss Universe 2015 Adriana Gutierrez! The real-estate developer offended Hispanics in June when he made anti-immigrant remarks in announcing his Republican presidential run. “I think it’s time we cut the swimsuit section from Miss Universe”.
