Steve Harvey skipped rehearsal before Miss Universe flub

“I’d like to apologise wholeheartedly to Miss Colombia & Miss Philippines for my huge mistake”.

ET reached out to Harvey for comment, but have been told the comedian is “unavailable”.

Wurtzbach is the third Filipina to be crowned Miss Universe, ending a 42-year drought for the country. He then announced that it was actually Miss Philippines who has won the title and Miss Colombia was the first runner up. To Colombia, that feeling of winning and you could see that she was crying of joy and got that taken away; and at the same time for Philippines, she didn’t really have that fantastic victory. We feel so badly but it’s still a great night.

The real victor was Miss Philippines, Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach, who looked astonished by the sudden turn of events.

In a snarky send-up of Harvey’s misspelled apology tweet, the four possible answers were: “Phillipians, ‘ ‘Columbia, ‘ ‘USA” and ‘idk lol’.

“Courage is grace under pressure – this is what Pia showed in the middle of the confusion and controversy that marked her coronation as the new Miss Universe”, Pacquiao told philboxing.com.

“I was standing there reading the card”, he explained during a backstage press conference, about the moments after announcing Miss Colombia had won the competition. “And they [said], ‘No, no, you’re really the victor'”.

When Cruz asked Riek how she would have handled the situation had she been in Gutierrez’s place, she said that it would be the “most bad situation ever”.

He added: “Things happen”. The Las Vegas Strip was soon jammed with ambulances and fire trucks, and authorities said at least 30 people were taken to a hospital to be treated for injuries and one person was killed. “It’s live television”, he said.

The Equalizer star went on a major rant while she was watching the show, calling out the pageant for “sexualizing young women”.
