Manny Pacquiao calls Philippines’ Miss Universe victory ‘revenge’ for Floyd

He later apologized onstage for his mistake and declared Miss Philippines as the true victor. It’s also interesting that Harvey would take the fall when he only said what he was being told to say.

He wrongfully announced Miss Colombia, Ariadna Gutierrez, as the victor instead of Miss Philippines, Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach.

Steve Harvey made a major mistake at the 2015 Miss Universe pageant when he announced the wrong victor, and everyone involved is still dealing with the sad aftermath.

What do you think of Miss Germany Sarah-Lorraine Riek’s reaction to Philippines’ Pia Wurtzbach winning Miss Universe?

Put that one in the Poor Design Hall of Fame, alongside the infamous Florida butterfly ballot of 2000. She won the Miss Universe pageant last year, and came in second this year; that’s a pretty great record.

The crowd jeered and cheered and sensing the confusion Harvey said, “I will take responsibility for this”. In back is finalist Miss USA Olivia Jordan.

The comedian and Family Feud host has blamed a teleprompter for his bungling of the announcement when he declared Miss Colombia the victor, only to apologise moments later and reveal that Miss Philippines had actually won. Harvey suddenly cut through her celebrations and said “There’s…I have to apologize”. Vega then returned to the stage, took away the crown from Guiterrez and placed it on the head of Wurtzbach, who looked equally shocked as the others. Gutierrez was incorrectly named Miss Universe.

Harvey said it was his mistake for not reading out the name of the winners correctly. She said she realised it was “probably bad timing”.

As for Miss Columbia, she can’t be that upset over the close defeat.

Do you agree with the claims of Miss Germany that Miss France should have been crowned as Miss Universe 2015?
