Online bashers target wrong Miss Germany

Miss Germany 2015, Olga Hoffman, took to Facebook on Tuesday to explain to bashers that she was not Miss Universe Germany Sarah Lorraine Reik – the contestant who said that she was upset the Philippines' Pia Wurtzbach was crowned Miss Universe rather than Colombia's Ariadna Gutiérrez.

“Guys!!!! That's Not me! I've never been to miss universe! My Name is olga hoffmann!! You Are searching for SARAH LORRAINE ????,” protested Miss Germany 2015.

In a video statement, Hoffman clarified that she and the Miss Germany Corporation were not in any way connected to Miss Universe Germany Sarah Lorraine Reik, nor were they connected to the Miss Universe Germany pageant.

In fact, Hoffman said that she was a big fan of the Filipina and she congratulated Wurtzbach for her victory at the Miss Universe pageant.

“Indeed, she [Wurtzbach] deserves the title and we are proud of what she has accomplished, not only because Miss Universe Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach is actually half German, but most importantly she embodies the spirit of a true beauty queen,” said Hoffman.

Hoffman ended her statement with a message of love for her Filipino fans and Pia Wurtzbach: “Mabuhay at mahal ko kayong lahat!”

Netizen @Logan Vito took it upon himself to apologize in behalf of chagrined Filipino bashers: “We are very passionate about our beauty queens, and it is just unfortunate that a few rotten apples are causing other people (such as you) unnecessary grief. Please know that the majority of us respect you, and the pageant which you represent, and we wish no ill-will. Again, please accept my apologies.”
