Just when viewers think the drama would end on stage after Steve Harvey made a mistake in announcing the winner of Miss Universe 2015, more events just unfolded following the mishap.
The controversial announcement of Miss Universe 2015 on Sunday, Dec. 20, did not end with Harvey owning up to his mistake nor the catfight-free passing of crown from Miss Colombia, Ariadna Gutierrez, to Miss Philippines, Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach. Some videos are now surfacing regarding the aftermath of the beauty pageant.
In one video, Wurtzbach, who was already wearing the crown, attempted to approach Gutierrez but other contestants seemed to have stopped her from talking to the heartbroken Colombian. One contestant looked as if she was being diplomatic about making Wurtzbach step back.
However, after the Filipina left, the group of contestants chanted "Colombia." The just crowned Miss Universe 2015 was then seen backstage crying while some staff crowned her and put her sash on, away from the live audience.
More controversy spun around when Miss Germany 2015, Sarah-Lorraine Riek, said in an interview that she believed Miss Colombia was "robbed" as the real winner. The German beauty also frankly shared that she was not happy with the results and that none of the other contestants voted for Miss Philippines.
Her statement, however, is contrary to what was shown during the televised pageant night when other delegates cheered on Wurtzbach after she was called as the rightful winner of the Miss Universe title.
During the final question for the Top 3 finalists, the organizers added a sixth judge, the cumulative votes from the contestants. If Riek's statement is real that no one voted for Miss Philippines, the half-German half-Filipina beauty would still win since the four other judges - Niecy Nash, Perez Hilton, Olivia Culpo and Emmit Smith - all voted for Wurtzbach, as per Nash's tweet and Hilton's podcast.
Riek was also said to have done something inappropriate to Wurtzbach's group a day after the pageant.
Jonas Antonio Gaffud of Aces & Queens, a part of the Philippine delegation to the Miss Universe 2015, posted on his Facebook account that Miss Germany just did something bad to them. The German candidate kept telling Gaffud and his company that she saw Miss Philippines had boarded her plane and left for New York City already. The group just shrugged it off knowing well that the new Miss Universe queen was waiting for them in her suite.
