Donald Trump Says Miss Universe Gaffe “Would Have Never Happened” Under Him
Harvey explained later that he misread his cue card and saw that Miss Colombia had won “First runner-up”, and mistakenly thought Ariadna Gutierrez was the victor, when in fact Miss Philippines, Pia Wurtzbach, had won the competition.

Colombian media and social networks lit up with reactions to the botched Miss Universe 2015 finale on Sunday night, which saw the national contestant crowned and dethroned in a matter of minutes.
“I did not take the crown from her”, Wurtzbach said. Harvey apologized during the broadcast, and later took to Twitter to reiterate his apologies to the pageant’s contestants and viewers.
Ariadna Gutierrez was instead declared runner-up and her crown was given to Pia Alonzo Ms Wurtzbach.
Failing that, Nieto thinks pageant officials should give Miss Colombia a more expanded role in the coming year.
As for Harvey, he apologized repeatedly to everyone involved and continued to own up to his human mistake.
Harvey also apologized on Twitter, but at first misspelled the home countries of both contestants before also fixing that.
Although Trump initially tweeted support for the show and its new owner, Ari Emanuel of IMG, on Sunday, he retweeted comments made by supporters, who lamented his lack of involvement with the show.
Steve Harvey read the name of the second-place finisher, Ariadna Gutierrez Arevalo, as the new Miss Universe.
Some journalists blamed Donald Trump, saying they could find no financial record confirming that he had indeed sold the rights to the pageant as he said he did in September.
“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. The screw-up happened at an important moment of transition for Miss Universe.
He continued, “Folks, let me just take control of this”.
Usually the only thing anyone is talking about after the conclusion of the Miss Universe pageant is the victor; however, today, there’s only one person we’re talking about: Steve Harvey. The Miss Universe organization also issued an apology on Monday.
Smith might have been shocked, but he definitely felt bad Harvey.
“I was watching Miss Universe with my family”, Santos told Radio Nacional.
