Ariadna Gutierrez, Columbia's representative for Miss Universe Pageant, let everything out on her social media account by posting how her destiny went during the Miss Universe. She posted that though she only savored a few minutes wearing the crown, that moment will always be with her.
Gutierrez, a 21-year-old model and a TV host, was mistakenly crowned as the Miss Universe after the Pageant's host, Steve Harvey erroneously announced Miss Columbia as the winner instead of Miss Philippines according to Cinema Blend. A full two minutes passed before the "Family Feud" host admitted his world-shaking mistake.
Miss Columbia posted several photos on her Instagram account with captions that despite what happened she is still thankful for the strength and support people gave her, not only from her very own country but from the entire world, as posted by People, after the event.
A trip to Miami with her family was also one of the rumored escapes by Gutierrez after her crown and sash were stripped off. She was also there to celebrate the holidays as well as her birthday on Christmas day. To relax and unwind was her very reason to fly for a vacation and plans to answer the allegation after the break.
On the other hand, the Latina still managed to stand still and remained cordial enough after the awkward moment on the Miss Universe stage. She received a lot of praises from different people on social media though humiliated for she is composed and graceful when facing post-show interviews.
"Everything happened for a reason," she quoted, "Your destiny is written for you. And my destiny was this."
