Runner-up Mistakenly Crowned Miss Universe Winner
Urvashi, who was born in Kotdwar in Uttarakhand, could not make it to the final 15 in the competition, which saw Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach of the Philippines being crowned as Miss Universe 2015 after some stage drama.
Steve Harvey faces flak for mistakenly announcing Miss Colombia the victor – Miss Universe 2015 was so unnerving that it looked that some people would faint.
“Miss Universe 2015 is Colombia”, announced Harvey in the final minutes of the live telecast. “I was very happy for Miss Colombia because she really deserved it. I’m really not happy with the result and so are the other girls, I’m sorry to say that”.
Former Miss Universe Paulina Vega (center) waits to take the crown from Gutierrez (left) in order to place it on Wurtzbach’s head. “Are you going to take the crown from me now?’ And they said ‘No, no, you’re really the victor”‘.
Steve Harvey’s Miss Universe gaffe on Sunday night might’ve been one of the most cringe-worthy TV moments in recent history. “I think it’s time we cut the swimsuit section from miss Universe.”, she continued.
Germany refused to explain more about her previous statement, but added, “We really like Colombia and we’re really happy for her”.
The biggest blunder took place at the platform of the biggest beauty contest show, Miss Universe.
A composed Miss Colombia later had a message for her fans who voted for her and said, “everything happens for a reason…”.
Even though Steve was very apologetic on stage and on Twitter, a picture has emerged of the 58-year-old making amends with Miss Philippines backstage.
Mark Shapiro of the pageant’s new owner, WME ‘ IMG, says Harvey corrected the mistake on his own when he realized the error on air. He called it a terribly honest human mistake, but misspelt the women’s home countries.
