Man storms stage and smashes crown after wife loses beauty pageant

When Emannuelly was named the winner of the competition, she cupped her hands over her face and leaned over in shock.

As soon as she composed herself and prepared to be crowned with her tiara, a furious man clambered onto the stage and seized it before slamming it on the floor.

While the man is yet to be publicly identified, local media outlet Globo has reported that he was runner-up Nathally's husband.

Seemingly upset that his partner didn't take home the crown, the man picked up the tiara once again and slammed it on the ground, smashing it into pieces.

Nathally, who appeared frozen in shock, was then pulled backstage by her husband before security got a hold of him.

It is understood that the competition at this year's pageant was absolutely fierce, and it was a close call between the two finalists.
