Ariadna Gutiérrez posted a new message to fans on Tuesday, thanking them for their love and support.
On Sunday night, a stunned live television audience watched as Gutiérrez was awarded then immediately stripped of the Miss Universe title when it was revealed host Steve Harvey read the wrong woman's name as winner ( it was actually Miss Philippines Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach). The moment resulted in a firestorm of media attention including some rather controversial statements about who really should have won the crown.
After the storm comes the calm," Gutiérrez wrote in the message. "I want to thank each and every one of you who have sent messages of support and strength."
If this happened to me I would still be crying in my bathtub, finishing up my seventh box of wine or something, so good on her to yet again show such a strong display of grace under pressure. On Monday, she also posted a collage of photos from her brief time as winner, telling fans the moment "will always be with me."
Meanwhile, pageant officials have offered Harvey an invitation to return as host in 2016 , which I think is a brilliant idea. Who wouldn't want to watch what he does on next year's show?
