Las Vegas .- The contestant of Colombia and happily wore the crown of Miss Universe this year when the presenter of the event, Steve Harvey, said on live TV that he had made a mistake to read their cards and the contestant from the Philippines was the true winner of the global competition.
In the seconds that followed, the crown was removed from the head of the Colombian Ariadna Gutiérrez Arévalo and placed on the bewildered Pia Wurtzbach Alonzo Philippines . Other contestants were quick to console the Colombian while Harvey, embarrassed, apologized via Twitter and in comments to journalists.
“I felt horrible for this young,” he said.
Harvey asked public understanding and showed the card you had to announce to the new beauty queen.
“I take responsibility for this, it was my mistake, is on the card,” he said presenter. “But those can show, the first runner-up is Colombia, it’s my mistake … I feel very bad, please do not blame the girls.”
As a result of the error, Gutierrez was crowned by her countryman Paulina Vega, Miss Universe 2014. Clarifying things, and with a still stunned Wurtzbach, Vega was placed in the middle of the two gracefully and transferred the crown to the real winner. This was the third Miss Philippines Universe after Gloria Maria Aspillera Diaz, winner in 1969, and Maria Margarita Roxas Moran queen of 1973.
Gutierrez, who was surrounded by the other contestants who tried to comfort her before the misunderstanding officially stayed as first finalist and Miss USA Olivia Jordan was named second runner up.
Wurtzbach said Gutierrez tried to approach later, but the Colombian was crying and surrounded by a crowd of women. The winner said he realized that “it was probably a bad time.”
“I do not take your crown” Wurtzbach told reporters when he concluded the contest, saying that he wished good to the contestant of Colombia and hoping that the Latino community understands that “none of this was my fault.”
“None of this was on purpose. It was an honest mistake,” he said, apologizing on behalf of the organization she is now. Harvey said later that “should just enjoy the moment.”
Harvey also apologized on Twitter, but initially misspelled the name of the countries of the two contestants, and then corrected. “I would like to apologize wholeheartedly to Miss Colombia and Miss Philippines for my big mistake,” he wrote. “I feel terrible”

“Colombian the most beautiful in the world!gutierrezary Miss Universe 2016 Congratulations !!!! That pride!” (sic). But seconds later, Santos had to correct: “gutierrezary for us will remain our Miss Universe We are very proud!”
Donald Trump, who owned the rights to Miss Universe, tweeted Monday. “This would never have happened” if he had been in charge. On Monday morning in an interview with NBC’s Today Show, he softened his tone and said that Harvey is a “great man” who handled things well. Trump said that if he were still running the show, he would both share the title.
“I think the co-winner had done. That would be great,” he said. He added. “So it is, it’s live television”
The Philippine representative wore an electric blue dress with crystals and cut asirenado to respond very fair to question what he thought about the controversial decision to reopen a US naval base in his country.
“I think that the United States and the Philippines have always had a good relationship, we were colonized by the Americans and we have culture in our traditions. So we welcome, I see no problem with that, “said Wurtzbach.
The Filipino contestant also said it would be a good candidate to win Miss Universe because she would like to work for reasons such as creating awareness about HIV and influence among youth.
“Being Miss Universe is an honor and a responsibility,” he said.
Throughout the year the event was surrounded by controversy over the statements of Republican candidate Trump, who was one of his co-owners of Miss Universe against Mexican immigrants.
