Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez, who was accidentally crowned the 2015 Miss Universe, says the incident was written in her destiny.
Gutierrez shared a message on Instagram on Tuesday in which she congratulated Miss Philippines Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach for winning the Miss Universe title.
“After the storm comes the calm,” Gutierrez, 21, wrote alongside a picture of her creating a heart symbol with her hands.
“I want to thank each and every one of you who have sent messages of support and strength. Every one of you has become an incredible human being in my book and I am the most fortunate and thankful for having the support not only from one country but from the whole entire world. Your destiny is written for you. And my destiny was this,” she added.
Later on, Gutierrez addressed the mistake at the beauty pageant.
“I was able to bring happiness to my country after becoming Miss Universe for only a couple of minutes... Today because of that, Colombia and the Latin community are being talked about in every corner of the world,” she continued.
She added: “I also want to congratulate the Philippines for their new Miss Universe. The happiness that you must be feeling must be incredible. Life continues and in the future we will find out why things happen the way they happen. Thank you all for your love support and kindness.”
