The two Miss Universe contestants involved in Sunday night’s embarrassing mix up have spoken out after Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez-Arévalo was wrongly named 2015’s victor.

Make Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez and Miss Philippines Pia Wurtzbach share crown.
Though his mis-announcement was cringe-worthy, Harvey took full responsibility for his error. For me, Miss Colombia is Miss Universe and will continue to be Miss Universe.
“They took away her crown”, and “the shortest reign in history” was the sentiment expressed nearly universally on Twitter, where the hashtag “Respect the Crown” was the country’s top trending topic.
Was Steve Harvey’s Miss Universe mistake amusing or stupid?
In her reaction video, Wurtzbach calls the “non-traditional ” crowning “very 2015”.
Miss Philippines Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach reacts as she was eventually announced as the new Miss Universe.
“I feel awful”, one of his tweets said.
“I was hesitating, as well, to go up front, because that could have been a mistake as well”, Wurtzbach said.
“Everything happens for a reason, so I’m happy for all [that] I did”, Aravelo said.
Gutierrez too has remained upbeat online, posting photos of the awkward moment with the caption: “This moments [sic] will always be with me”. She said Harvey told her afterward that she “should just enjoy the moment”. Unfortunately, he spelled Colombia and the Philippines wrong in the since-deleted tweet.
Even Donald Trump has weighed in on the controversy.

Yes, you never know what will happen on live television, but what happened last night was something that should have been controlled.

Trump indicated that he would take legal action against the network, but the dispute was resolved in September when he purchased NBC’s half of the pageant organization.
