Miss Germany Sarah-Lorraine Riek has apologized for comments made after the Miss Universe winner was declared.

Riek’s controversial comments came after a mix-up left Miss Colombia, who was initially crowned, de-crowned--in favor of Miss Philippines, who was declared the true winner.

Riek told a blogger after the contest that she thought Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez Arevalo should have won. 

“I really couldn’t believe it, I was so upset. For me (she was robbed) as the real winner,” she said. “I was very happy for Miss Colombia because she really deserved it. I’m really not happy with the result and so are the other girls, I’m sorry to say it.”
