Other contestants comfort Miss Colombia, top right, after she was incorrectly crowned Miss Universe in Las Vegas.

Not only did Miss Universe host Steve Harvey make a fool of himself in announcing the wrong winner, it now appears that he might have caused a rift among the beauty pageant’s contestants.

New video footage has emerged, which shows Miss Philippines, Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach, being snubbed by several contestants as she tries to approach Miss Colombia, Ariadna Gutierrez, after the show.

Wurtzbach, the actual winner, was crowned after Harvey had initially announced that Gutierrez had won. The embarrassing mix-up was watched by audiences all over the world during the live telecast — and online afterwards — with many criticizing the gaffe.

The “unseen” footage, posted on the Facebook page of online beauty pageant magazine Missosology, highlighted the awkward moment as Gutierrez’s friends and supporters gathered in a circle to console her.

Wurtzbach, who was trying to join in, was told to “step back” by one of the girls. Miss Montenegro, dressed in green, was seen shaking her head and walking away.
