Miss Universe Pia Wurtzbach writes a heartfelt message to Miss Columbia post Steve Harvey’s goof up!
We all saw how comedian Steve Harvey messed up with the winners’ name at the Miss Universepageant this year! He declared Miss Columbia- Ariadna Gutierrez as the winner in place of Miss Philippines Pia Wurtzbach and you know what happened after that! It led to a series of events where on one side people couldn’t stop trolling Steve for making this legit mistake! The other side got even more ugly by casting the two winners as enemies against each other. Well, haters gonna hate but Pia clarifies she has no grudges from Steve or Miss Columbia for that matter! Yes! The newly crowned Miss Universe took to Facebook and put up this lengthy post on what it feels like after winning such a coveted title that too in such a dramatic way.
She wrote, “Now, I finally got the best Christmas gift ever — and not just for me, for my country. I’d like to say thank you to everyone who believed in my potential and those who supported me from the beginning…To Ariadna, you are an amazing woman and we are now bonded together forever by a unique experience. In the last 3 weeks we were together, I saw how strong and beautiful you are inside and out. You represented your country with honor and I know how proud everyone must be of you. Fate has a plan for you, and I’m excited to see what’s ahead.”
She added, “And to all the fans who are still fighting about this…Please let’s all stop now. The Miss Universe Organization is about uniting empowered women from all over the world. Arguing and sending hateful messages to each other defeats the whole purpose. You believe in the message of Miss Universe and so do I.”
