64th Miss Universe pageant judge and celebrity blogger Perez Hilton was initially rooting for Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutiérrez but Miss Philippines Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach showed her genuine self to the universe and proved that she earned the crown fair and square.
Hilton admitted on the PHP or Perez Hilton podcast released on Tuesday that he thought Colombia was the most beautiful contestant, but he didn’t think she deserved to win the title.
He noted that Colombia gave a great answer in the first question and answer portion and was still favoring Gutiérrez at that point, however, called out Gutierrez for her snarky attitude during the question and answer portion. Hilton used the second question and answer portion for the Top 3 contenders as a gauge to not only pick the prettiest but who was the most deserving of the title.
“I don’t know if the people at home could see this. But Miss Colombia was being straight-out diva-bitch rude to her translator…She was giving the most awful side-eye, throwing major shade because Colombia was not happy with the pace or the way the translator was translating…I was drying. She’s being cunty right now,” he said.
“It was a major turnoff,” he said of Colombia’s attitude.
“It wasn’t just that she (Colombia) didn’t give the best answer. And it wasn’t just that she came across not just me, but several of the other judges (as) bitchy and arrogant. It was that Miss Philippines gave a better answer,” he further said.
