Miss Colombia is moving on after one of the most awkward and most talked about pageants in Miss Universe history.
Miss Colombia held the crown for a matter of minutes before Steve Harvey, in a now-infamous moment, announced that he had proclaimed the wrong winner.
But, for Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez, that few moments was enough.
In a post-fiasco Instagram post, Miss Colombia wrote in part, “Your destiny is written for you. And my destiny was this. I was able to bring happiness to my country after becoming Miss Universe for only a couple of minutes… Today because of that COLOMBIA and the LATIN COMMUNITY are being talked about in every corner of the world.”
However, while Miss Colombia is moving on, the world is still discussing whether or not the right choice was made.
Even some other contestants have revealed their opinions on what happened to Miss Colombia and the winner, Miss Philippines.
While many contestants seemed to think Miss Philippines shouldn’t have taken the crown, Miss Singapore Lisa Marie White revealed recently that she thinks the right contestant took home the crown.
She said, “When the top three were announced, some contestants were unhappy and there was quite an uproar.”
She added, “My vote went to Miss Philippines because I felt she did well in her Q&A, but at least seven girls forfeited their votes.”
What a mess. Do you think Miss Colombia should have taken home that huge crown?
