Cosby accusers’ attorneys say women are grateful for charges
Although Allred represents over two dozen accusers, only one of them, Judy Huth, is engaged in a civil lawsuit with the comedian. Cosby and his lawyers have repeatedly denied the allegations that have been aired against him by a growing number of women.
Host Steve Harvey says he made a mistake and didn’t read the card correctly when he announced that the contestant from Colombia, Ariadna Gutierrez Arevalo, had won.

DeRunnya Wilson added five catches for 96 yards and a touchdown to help the Bulldogs break the Belk Bowl scoring record . That would be a pretty big accomplishment, especially considering they would’ve done it in back-to-back years.
Harveytook to Twitter to say: “I’d like to apologise wholeheartedly to Miss Colombia & Miss Philippines for my huge mistake”.
“I have to apologize”, Harvey said, and continued to tell millions of people on national television that Miss Philippines, Mia Wurtzbach, was the real pageant victor. The host of Miss Universe messed up the victor and crowned the runner-up.
Colombia lost its third Miss Universe within a matter of seconds. Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach of the Philippines was equally stunned and at a loss of what to do.
Clearly mortified at his mistake, Harvey, who was hosting the competition for the first time, immediately apologised for his error after the award ceremony closed.
Colombian dailies, meanwhile, carried headlines of the freaky incident, saying that Gutierrez has been a Miss Universe “for two minutes”.
Many on social media share distaste for Miss Germany’s reaction.
According to the Guardian, Alonzo Wurtbach wished Miss Colombia well and said, “I’m very sorry”.
