Miss Colombia has spoken out about the now infamous Miss Universe mix-up
The pageant host, USA comedian Steve Harvey, announced that Miss Colombia Adriana Gutierrez won the coveted crown, but moments later corrected his mistake, giving the title to Miss Philippines, Xinhua reported.
A seven-second behind-the-scenes video shows Harvey immediately after naming the wrong victor - Miss Colombia instead of Miss Philippines - pointing to a cue card and talking to an unidentified person saying: "The teleprompter said Miss Universe - Colombia". Steve Harvey often makes mistakes reading of the questions on said show.
"I did not take the crown from her", Wurtzbach said. "I think... you have a whole country", he said.

While Pia was in pure bliss upon knowing that she is the next Miss Universe, the runner-up was obviously devastated.
