Several people have been disappointed when Steve Harvey announced the wrong winner in the recently-concluded Miss Universe 2015 coronation night. However, it seems like it was not only the fans who were stunned with the results as a new report claimed that Miss Germany Sarah-Lorraine Riek is not happy with it.
Us Weekly shared that Miss Germany told Colombian journalist Natalia Cruz in a backstage video interview that she believed the crown should have been handed out to another rightful winner. It was neither the runner-up Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez nor the new Miss Universe Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach.
"I really couldn't believe it, I was so upset. For me, Miss France was the real winner," Sarah-Lorraine said in a short video posted to the Facebook page of Missosology, the world's largest pageant forum website.
However, despite the loss of Miss France Flora Coquerel, the 23-year-old German beauty said that she is happy for Miss Colombia's brief win. "I was very happy for Miss Colombia, because she really deserved it," Sarah-Lorraine shared in the clip. "I'm really not happy with the result, and so are the other girls, I'm sorry to say it. Because [none] of us voted for Philippines. I'm so sorry to say it."
Meanwhile, International Design Times reported that even Pia was a bit doubtful of her dramatic win. The 26-year-old Filipina said that she was not sure of what was going on at that time.
"I had to ask my [manager] many times like, 'Did I really win? Am I really Miss Universe? Are you going to take the crown from me now?'" Pia said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight. "And they [said], 'No, no, you're really the winner.'"
Miss Colombia was clearly devastated when it was announced that the real winner is Miss Philippines. A proof of this is a video of her consoling and telling herself that everything has its own reason.
