Steve Harvey invited to host Miss Universe again despite blunder
However Ms Gutierrez appreciates that, since the blunder, people from “every corner of the world” are talking about Colombia. I want to thank each and every one of you who have sent me messages of support and strength.
“Your destiny is written for you”, she continued. And my destiny was this.
Filipinos also flocked to the Instagram post’s comment section, some still hating on the Colombian contestant, while others calling for peace between both camp’s supporters.
The cluster-whoops that is the Miss Universe 2015 pageant continues to dominate headlines, bravely assuming the mantle of the pop culture news story that will see you and us through the holiday season. “The happiness that you must be feeling must be incredible“, she said in her caption.
STEVE MARCUS/REUTERS Steve Harvey will have at least three more tries at correctly announcing the victor of Miss Universe because of a contract he signed days before the pageant.
That’s what some are suggesting in the wake of what’s being called “Pageantgate”, when host Steve Harvey mistakenly read the name on the card wrong and initially said Miss Colombia, not Miss Philippines, was the victor on Sunday night in Las Vegas.
He added that he didn’t rehearse announcing who would be Miss Universe because they did not yet know who would win.
Vanessa’s kindness and sporting show of support did not go unnoticed among the millions of viewers worldwide who tuned in to the live telecast event. “I’m honored that I got to stand beside them and devastated for each of them – Pia Wurtzbach, that her moment was tainted by controversy, and most of all for Ariadna Gutierrez, having her dream ripped away from her in an instant”.
She also said that those moments will always remain with her. We are hoping to talk with her in person when she’s home. The Miss Universe producers were more forgiving. She posted on the social media pictures of her with the crown and hugging last year’s Miss Universe Paulina Vega. We are all perfectly imperfect as humans and mistakes happen. “He was following a script. It is an honest mistake and a mistake that anyone can make”.
