NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles) – In a whirlwind of television appearances on national networks yesterday, Miss Universe Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach was asked repeatedly if she was willing to share her crown with Miss Colombia.
In the days following the Miss Universe pageant, there have been calls for Wurtzbach to share the title with first runner-up Miss Colombia, after host Steve Harvey erroneously announced Ariadna Gutierrez as the winner. No less than former Miss Universe owner Donald Trump suggested both ladies should be declared ‘co-winners.’
In response to the questions — and displaying the confidence and graciousness that wowed the pageant judges, Wurtzbach said:
‘I already shared the crown with Miss Colombia; she wore it for a full four minutes. And I continue to share my crown with the 79 other beautiful ladies that competed with me in the pageant; I am their representative. I am willing to share the crown with anyone.’
As can be seen in the photo above, the FOX News anchor took her up on her offer.
CNN’s Don Lemon also wore the crown when he intereviewed her on his show, although the cameras failed to capture Lemon’s crowning moment.
