The crown being removed from
Miss Colombia and placed on Miss Philippines. Both contestants
handled the sad situation well.
A law firm in Colombia has announced their intention of suing
the Miss Universe pageant, after a mix up ended in tears for
their nation's contestant. In what is being blamed on a
teleprompter error, host Steve Harvey, announced that Miss
Colombia, Ariadna Gutierrez, had won the pageant. Shortly after,
Harvey stepped forward and apologized stating the actual winner
is Miss Philippines, Pia Wurtzbach. The crown was removed from
Miss Colombia's head and place on Miss Philippines.
Miss Philippines and Miss
Colombia
The law firm contends, "The crown is an acquired right that
cannot be taken away from us." The problem with the lawsuit is
it was revealed yesterday by big mouth blogger Perez Hilton, who
slammed Miss Colombia in an unnecessarily rant about her
translator, that the judges had chosen Miss Philippines.

Lawsuit filed against Miss
Universe Pageant
Posted 11:45 AM, December 22, 2015 – A Colombian law firm
says two of their attorney’s are filing a lawsuit, saying “the
crown is an acquired right that cannot be taken away from us.”
Sunday night, Host Steve Harvey mistakenly announced “Miss
Colombia” as the winner, and then corrected himself two minutes
later, saying Miss Philippines was the rightful winner.
Two days
later, there are still claims that Miss Columbia should have
won. There is even a petition gaining steam online, with more
than 30,000 signatures. Perez Hilton, one of the judges, had
this to say about the mess: “Losing is the best thing that has happened to Miss Colombia,
so in one sense, she truly is the winner.
Although as a judge
and looking at everything that happened, I see her posting on
Instagram saying she is the true winner. There’s a reason — many
reasons — why she didn’t win. Congratulations to Miss
Philippines,” said Hilton...
