Miss Universe 2015 will go down as the greatest in history following Steve Harvey’s epic mistake. The comedian accidentally crowned Miss Colombia (Ariadna Gutiérrez-Arévalo) as the winner, rather than Miss Philippines (Pia Wurtzbach) and since then, it’s all been kicking off.
But the meanest thing we’ve seen so far was an interview given by Miss Germany (Sarah-Lorraine Riek ). The unplaced entrant made a rather scathing comment about Pia (who’s probably still trying to overcome the shock) and told Missology that no one in the competition actually voted for her.
“I really couldn’t believe it, I was so upset,” she said in an interview. “For me Miss France as the real winner. “I was very happy for Miss Colombia because she really deserved it. I’m really not happy with the result and so are the other girls, I’m sorry to say it.
“Because no one of us voted for Philippines. I’m so sorry to say it.”
Sarah-Lorraine’s now apologised on her Facebook page and has since deleted the account altogether.
“Miss Universe Germany Sarah-Lorraine feels sorry for her colleague and friend Miss Colombia,” the statement is said to have read. “This must have been the worst nightmare. She never intended to offend Miss Philippines in any way. She feels sorry for both girls. She is really sorry if the video suggests anything else than that," it added.
“Sarah-Lorraine is very happy a half-German girl brings the crown of course a bit to Germany as well.”
Colombian Ariadna, who had to endure the soul destroying moment she was told she wasn’t the winner and was de-crowned in front of thousands, has been very kind since the incident however. Just as you’d expect.
“Everything happens for a reason, so I’m happy,” she said after the show. “Thank you for voting for me.”
Pia meanwhile joked that the incident was “very 2015!”
