Pia Wurtzbach’s life 10 years after the incident of being mistakenly crowned Miss Universe

TEN years after being crowned Miss Universe, Pia Wurtzbach is a multi-talented rose in the Philippines and has an admirable personal life. Recently, she was criticized by Vietnamese fans for her comments about Khanh Van winning the popular vote at Miss Universe 2020.

Pia Wurtzbach became famous around the world after being crowned Miss Universe 2015, bringing the Philippines the prestigious Miss Universe crown after 42 years of waiting.

The reason why the beauty born in 1989 is known more than any other beauty queen in the history of the contest is because of the crowning mistake at the final night. At that time, MC Steve Harvey announced  Ariadna Gutiérrez (Colombia) as the winner but later declared that he himself was mistaken and the real beauty queen was Pia Wurtzbach.

This crowning incident became one of the most shocking scandals in the history of the Miss Universe contest.

A few days ago, Pia Wurtzbach attracted attention when she posted the status: “Are there more beauty fans in Vietnam than in the Philippines?”. This move was related to Miss Khanh Van entering the Top 21 Miss Universe 2020 thanks to the highest number of votes in the history of the contest. Many beauty fans in Vietnam thought that Pia’s post was mocking Khanh Van’s results, not believing that she was the one who received the most votes from the audience because the Philippines has a large number of beauty fans.

Because of that, the beauty queen was heavily criticized by Vietnamese netizens on Twitter and then had to speak up to explain. “For many years, I have been told (and believed) that the Philippines has the most fans of beauty queens in the world. But yesterday, Vietnam got the highest vote in the history of the contest. That means I was completely wrong, so I was very surprised. That’s all! That’s all I want to say,” Miss Universe 2015 explained.

Pia Wurtzbach also emphasized that she was not sarcastic or doubtful of Khanh Van’s victory and congratulated the Vietnamese representative for receiving the highest number of votes in the history of the Miss Universe contest.
