Steve Harvey Apologizes For Miss Universe Mix-Up
Such was the case for this year’s host, comedian Steve Harvey, who misread his cue card and initially declared Miss Colombia, Ariadna Gutierrez, as the victor.

Steve Harvey’s wife, Marjorie Harvey, quickly came to her husband’s defense after he mistakenly announced the wrong victor during Sunday’s Miss Universe pageant, in his first time hosting the event.
Many viewers agreed and tweeted that Gutierrez was the epitome of grace. “It’s been 42 years since the Philippines won in Miss Universe”, Wurtzbach said during a press conference after receiving the crown.
“What’s most important is now she won and we are celebrating as a country”. The first runner-up is Colombia. I was a little hesitant on going up to the stage.
The sudden reversal even caught by the president by surprise, forcing him to reverse his initial celebratory tweet.
Donald Trump’s pageant days are over after his controversial comments about immigrants created a backlash, but the Miss Universe show must go on.
Harvey went on to say sorry on his Twitter, writing, “I’d like to apologize wholeheartedly to Miss Colombia & Miss Philippines for my huge mistake”.
“They put the crown on her head”.
Trump also said on Today that “things like [Harvey’s gaffe] do happen” in the course of a live broadcast.
In the aftermath of Sunday’s shocking finale, Colombians were at a loss to explain the mistake.
As we previously reported, Harvey accidentally announced the wrong victor out of the two ladies it was down to at the end of the pageant.
That same month, Trump sold the organization that includes the Miss Universe, Miss USA and Miss Teen USA pageants to entertainment company WME-IMG.
In a video posted on Tuesday, December 22, the Monika, who made it to the Top 5 of the competition, said “The scandal has really overridden everything, it was unbelievable”. This would never have happened!’
The long wait to the beauty title hasn’t bothered them.
A contestant is speaking out about the results of the 2015 Miss Universe pageant, and surprisingly it isn’t Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez.

For her part, Gutierrez in her initial remarks seemed saddened but resigned to her fate.
