Top 10 reactions to Steve Harvey’s cringe-worthy Miss Universe mistake
“Miss Universe-Germany Sarah Lorraine Riek feels sorry for her colleague and friend Miss Colombia”.
“I’m really upset with the results and so are the other girls”, Miss Germany continues. “I have to apologize”, he said, while standing next to Arevalo. “I was happy because I really wanted to win but felt sad for Miss Colombia”. But when they announced that I was Miss Universe, I had mixed emotions.
“The first runner-up is Colombia”. Miss Philippines 2015, Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach (L), is correctly named 2015 Miss Universe.
After what could probably be the most unconventional Ms. Universe coronation ever, a new controversy seems to be brewing: Ms. Germany alleges that none of this year’s candidates voted for Ms. Philippines.
#I don’t want to take away from this incredible night and pageant.
In another surprise update to the Miss Universe 2015 scandal, Colombian lawyers are now preparing to file a lawsuit against Miss Universe!
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.
Harvey took to Twitter.com after the Las Vegas show to say sorry once more, writing, “I’d like to apologize wholeheartedly to Miss Colombia & Miss Philippines for my huge mistake”. Despite the devastating blow, Miss Columbia tried to keep her spirits up.
Speaking to cameras in an interview posted on the Miss Universe Facebook page, she said she believes “everything happens for a reason”, “I’m so happy, thank you for voting for me”.
It was also a proud moment for Filipina beauty queens and past Miss Universe finalists Miriam Quiambao, Venus Raj, and Ariella Arida as Wurtzbach brought home the crown. “So we we’re looking at each other thinking, ‘What are we waiting [for]?’ Then Steve Harvey made his walk on the runway and we saw the anxious look on his face and we knew what happened”, Radulovic said.
Miss Colombia had it all for just a few minutes. In case you missed one of the biggest WTF moments in television history, Harvey announced the first runner up, Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez, as the victor.
