Steve Harvey Apologizes For Miss Universe Mix-Up
Miss Universe pageant has now become rather boring and the coveted event has lost its charm in the past few years but this year the pageant was on every network, thanks to a major goof-up by the show’s host, Steve Harvey.
Comedian Steve Harvey has publicly apologised for crowning the wrong model Miss Universe during the live pageant on Sunday night.
“I feel frightful for this young woman”, he said. It was my mistake, it was on the card…
“I think that if it would’ve happened to me, I would’ve handled it with the grace and dignity that my mom and dad raised me to have and I would’ve been very happy for the other person”, Watson-Watkins said.
Some believe that Donald Trump is still part owner of the organization and did it as payback to humiliate Colombians after Miss Universe 2014 Paulina Vega lashed out at him for his anti-immigration remarks.
The statement: “The excitement of live TV was evident tonight on The Miss Universe stage with over 10 million live fan votes tabulated”.
“After winning last year’s Miss Universe we’re a beauty pageant powerhouse and nobody wants us to win again”, he added as cited by AP.
“This moments will always be with me #missuniverse #misscolombia #backtoback Lo logramos COLOMBIA!”, she captioned the photo. Write to us in the Comments section or on our Facebook page.
A stunned Wurzbach, who had taken her place with the other contestants behind Arevalo, then walked out to center stage. Trump subsequently sold the pageant and tweeted after the flub that it “would never have happened” on his watch. The real-estate developer offended Latin Americans in June when he made anti-immigrant remarks in announcing his Republican presidential run.
In a major stuff up, Philippines actually won the 2015 competition. “I was happy because I really wanted to win but felt sad for Miss Colombia”.
This story corrects the second reference of the Colombian contestant to Gutierrez.
Our source said there is “no way” the mistake was done for publicity, as some news outlets have questioned, but could be chalked up to Harvey simply being under-rehearsed.
