Miss Universe 2015: Fears Miss Colombia Could Have A Mental Breakdown After Bungle

MISS Universe judge Perez Hilton has ripped into “b***h” Miss Colombia, Ariadna Gutierrez, and host Steve Harvey following Sunday night’s embarrassing bungle.

In a scathing podcast, the gossip blogger said 21-year-old Gutierrez acted like a “diva”, even before Harvey mistakenly declared her the winner and handed the crown to Miss Philippines, Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach.

“I don’t know if the people at home could see this, but Miss Colombia was being straight-up diva b***h,” Hilton said of her alleged behaviour.

“[She was] rude to her translator. She was giving the most awful side-eye, throwing major shade ... Miss Colombia was not happy with the pace or the way that the translator was translating.”

Hilton also had harsh words for 58-year-old Harvey, saying he “did not do his job, period.”

Sources said Harvey was gambling and drinking at a Las Vegas casino just hours before the pageant finals, and skipped rehearsals for the final announcement.

Hilton, 37, said he wasn’t the only one to notice Gutierrez’s alleged shocking behind-the-scenes antics.

“She came across not just to me, but several of the other judges b****y and arrogant. It was that Miss Philippines gave a better answer,” he said.

“[Wurtzbach] really brought her A-game and was super competitive but she deserved it. To me, there was a real beauty and grace and elegance [in her]. She was Miss Universe.”

The celebrity columnist added that Wurtzbach “won fair and square.”

“I went with my gut and voted for Miss Philippines ... Actually, I found out afterwards, it was unanimous — everyone, every single judge in that panel, all four of us — voted for Miss Philippines to be number one,” he said.

Hilton was one of four judges, alongside former Miss Universe Olivia Culpo, football legend Emmitt Smith and Scream Queens star Niecy Nash.

He told Good Morning America on Tuesday that there were “many reasons” why 26-year-old Miss Philippines won.

“I see Miss Colombia posting on Instagram that she’s the true winner,” he sniped. “There’s a reason — many reasons — that she didn’t win. Congratulations to Philippines.”

FEARS FOR MISS COLOMBIA AFTER BLUNDER

Colombians fear their beloved beauty-pageant queen will be left an emotional wreck after Harvey mistakenly declared her the winner.

“I do think that [Gutierrez] is very affected by all this,” Maria Isabel Nieto, Colombia’s consul general to New York, told The New York Post.

“I just think that when I was in my 20s and was in her situation I would take a little while to recover.”

Gutierrez wore the crown for nearly two minutes before Harvey discovered his mistake and announced Miss Philippines as the victor.

The Colombian beauty put on a brave face as the crown was removed from her head and placed on Wurtzbach’s.

The bungled announcement also caused a national trauma for the people of Colombia, with some viewers saying the mistake was a publicity stunt.

“To me, as a Colombian, she is still Miss Universe,” President Juan Manuel Santos tweeted. “They put the crown on her head. The photos are there to prove it.”

STEVE HARVEY SPOTTED ‘DRINKING, MISSED REHEARSAL’

Harvey’s now-infamous gaffe may have never happened if he didn’t miss the last hour of rehearsals, according to reports.

A source told Entertainment Tonight the host didn’t practice reading the winner’s name.

“Steve went to the beginning of rehearsals, but missed the last hour, at least. He did not practice the ending,” the source said. “The name of the winner is not in the prompter [because] they don’t want the girls to see it.”

The informant also squashed rumours that the whole debacle was a publicity stunt.

Harvey apologised profusely for his humiliating flub, even showing viewers the cue card he was supposed to read from. It showed that Gutierrez was the first runner-up and Miss Philippines was the real winner.

He apologised to both women on social media, writing: “I’d like to apologise wholeheartedly to Miss Colombia & Miss Philippines for my huge mistake. I feel terrible.”

It was a tense moment for the experienced TV host who, TMZ reports, hit high-end roulette tables in Vegas to kick off the Miss Universe weekend.

Sources told the entertainment website that Harvey was spotted gambling and drinking on Sunday, just hours before the live-to-air pageant began. The site also ran pics of him gambling at a $25-minimum roulette table at Caesars on Friday.
