Steve Harvey mistakenly crowns the wrong Miss Universe
Apart from the judging panel that included actress Niecy Nash, celebrity entertainment mogul Perez Hilton, former Miss Universe Olivia Culpo and football legend Emmitt Smith, this year fans across the globe had a say in who should be crowned the Miss Universe.
She hesitated before walking up to center stage, where Gutierrez stood with her crown, bouquet and “Miss Universe” sash.
Following Harvey’s alleged cue-card fumble – Miss Colombia was named 2015’s Miss Universe, only to have the crown taken off her head and given to Miss Philippines – Trump turned self-congratulatory, retweeting calls for his renewed ownership of the pageant.
When asked why the women were crowded around Miss Colombia instead of congratulating Miss Philippines, Miss Germany responds rather frankly.
Wurtzbach, who believes that she is “confidently lovely with a heart”, thinks that the title is an honour with responsibilities.
“I have to apologize”, he said. Am I really Miss Universe?
“It was bad. My heart goes out to both girls”.
So, why do we like watching people make mistakes? He held up the card for the camera. “I feel so badly but it’s still a great night”. I feel awful… Secondly, I’d like to apologize to the viewers at that I disappointed as well.
Miss Australia graduated with an Honors Degree in Psychology, according to the official Miss Universe 2015 profiles page.
Wurtzbach later said she was happy to win, but confused and concerned for her rival.
“Everything happens for a reason”, she said, wiping back a tear, in a backstage video posted on the organizer’s website in which she also thanked the judges who voted for her.
However, he had to return moments later when Arevalo was already wearing the crown, to confess he had made a mistake, saying, “Folks I have to apologise…the first runner-up is Colombia”. Even the president was upset.
“They put the crown on her head”.
Miss Columbia got support from fellow Colombian and Modern Family actress Sofia Vergara.
The nearly unbelievable ending to the pageant was televised live in many countries, including on the Fox network in the United States on Sunday night.
Ariadna Gutierrez remained Miss Universe for a matter of moments before Steve Harvey realized what he’d done.
