Mix Up” Costs Miss California’s Crown

Christina Silva might have been first named Miss California by the Donald Trump Miss Universe Organization, but due to a mix-up, she didn’t have long to enjoy her new found fame as winner of the beauty competition. The Miami Poetry Review reports that she had to accept defeat when the name of the correct winner was announced a few days later.


A week ago Sunday, Christina Silva was crowned the new Miss California USA. On Thursday night the first runner-up, Brandi Williams, represented the title after the contestants were told that there had been a mix up. Christina Silva, 24, was delighted when she won the Miss California USA title last month.


To Silva’s dismay, her dreams of carrying the enviable title of most beautiful woman in California were shattered in an instant. Keith Lewis, the director of the contest, commented on this “scandal,” calling it a “simple human error.” Sky News reports that while Silva will be allowed to keep her crown, sash and necklace, Silva is now considering legal action.
