One of the judges of the Miss Universe pageant, Perez Hilton’s statement is making a lot of buzz at the social media. Hollywood gossip blogger Perez Hilton has busted his silence on the controversy which has plagued the annual pageant.

Perez on the podcast hosted on his own website compared Miss Universe 2015, Pia Wurtzbach with her first runner-up Ariadna Gutierrez from Colombia, saying that the Filipina delegate deserved the title unlike the latter. He said: “Miss Colombia was the most beautiful contestant, but I don’t think she deserves to win the title, and she didn’t win the title for a variety of reasons.

Hilton told his co-host Chris Booker: “Here’s the difference between Miss Philippines and Miss Colombia. Miss Philippines came to win. Miss Colombia came to lose. Colombia came there as if she had already won. And that’s sexy also and intoxicating that confidence. But I think that she came there thinking she would really win. Whereas Miss Philippines came with something to prove.”

The popular blogger further explained that while Gutierrez was considered as among the frontrunners, Wurtzbach surprised him during the competition. Elaborating on the matter Perez opined: “She really surprised me. I wasn’t expecting her to be fierce and fabulous.”

The blogger said that the Filipina beauty aced her performance during the swimsuit round while he liked Colombia’s performance in the evening gown competition better. The forthright blogger, however, called out Gutierrez for her snarky attitude during the question and answer portion, expressing: “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. It was a major turnoff.”

He further added: “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.”

During the final round of the competition, finalists Philippines, Colombia and Miss USA Olivia Jordan were asked why they should win Miss Universe.

Wurtzbach answered, “To be a Miss Universe is both an honor and a responsibility. If I were to be Miss Universe, I will use my voice to influence the youth and I will raise awareness to certain causes like HIV awareness that is timely and relevant to my country, which is the Philippines. I want to show the world, the universe, rather, that I am confidently beautiful with a heart.”

Hilton said he was impressed by Wurtzbach’s performance in both question and answer portions. “It was the second time that she (Pia) gave a great answer, actually a better answer, and by that point, I felt like wow, she really brought her A-game, was super competitive, but also like, she deserved it. Like she deserves it. To me, there’s a real beauty, and grace, and elegance (in Pia). She is Miss Universe.”

He then proceeded to compare Gutierrez to her fellow Colombian, Hollywood actress Sofia Vergara. He expressed: “Miss Colombia, you’re Sofia Vergara. You’re not Miss Universe. You look so much like Sofia Vergara. It’s spooky how much she looks like Sofia Vergara. Whereas this other girl, she was just being herself and not trying to emulate anybody else. I felt like she earned it and won it fair and square.”

He also revealed that the judges were having a tough time to decide until the last round as to who were they going to select as Miss Universe: “I went with my gut and voted for Miss Philippines. And actually, I found out afterwards it was unanimous. Every single judge on that panel, all four of us, voted for Miss Philippines to be number 1.

He however stated that he does believe that Gutierrez would have a successful career after the competition: “I think that she could have a more successful career after Miss Universe than Miss Philippines will. Miss Philippines is perfect for being a Miss Universe, but I think that Colombia can go on like Sofia Vergara and be a crossover success in the US, and be a Spanish-language personality or if her language improves, an English-language personality. She is smoking.”
