LAS VEGAS, Nevada (The Adobo Chronicles) – It’s been called “the worst disaster in award show history,” “an epic fail,” and a “conspiracy” to boost the sagging ratings of the Miss Universe pageant and promote Steve Harvey’s television career.

Yes, we’re talking about last Sunday’s Miss Universe gaffe in which Harvey first announced the wrong winner, Miss Colombia, as the new title holder.  We now know that it was Miss Philippines who had actually won the competition.

But for devoted followers of beauty pageants, they know that this was not the first time a beauty queen was de-crowned.

In 2014, Synthia Nath sued the organizers of the Miss Globe New Zealand pageant after being stripped of her winner title that, according to organizers, belonged to “another Indian girl.”

The New Zealand Herald reported Nath, a 19-year-old Fiji native, was mistaken for the real winner of the pageant, which officials said was “another Indian” contestant named Loriza Latif. Organizers of the pageant said it was an “honest mistake” because the two girls “look alike.”

A year earlier, a judicial court in the Philippines ordered the organizers of a local beauty pageant, Mutya ng Pilipinas, to pay the amount of 1.1 Million pesos in damages to a dethroned winner in 1977, Esabela Cabrera.

Cabrera was stripped of the title and organizers gave the crown to first runner-up Annie Moraga, in addition to the cash and other prizes that would have gone to Cabrera.

Cabrera sued for the “lack of due processs” in stripping her of her title.

Now, now, don’t give Miss Colombia any ideas about suing the Miss Universe Organization for her botched title. (Although some Colombian lawyers have already thought of that, apparently!)
