Was Steve Harvey’s Miss Universe gaffe a big publicity stunt?

Already in the midst of her winner’s walk, newly crowned and wearing the Miss Universe sash, Gutierrez’s celebration was cut short when Harvey walked out onto the stage and announced that her win had been an error. She bathed in applause for almost two minutes before Harvey slowly made his way back onto the stage.
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”.
“Remember when I lost to Floyd last May, she made a promise to all of us Filipinos that she will avenge that defeat comes the Miss Universe pageant which she just has fulfilled”.
In the incident that he surely won’t live down anytime soon, Steve announced Miss Colombia as the victor and allowed her to start celebrating her victory.
And for her part, Miss Colombia composed herself to give a very classy concession speech.
Cruz asked Riek to elaborate on her answer, to which Riek replied, “No, I don’t want to talk about that”. “For me (she was robbed) as the real victor”.
However, Colombian beauty Ariadna did not criticize the victor and maintained her cool.
Miss Universe pagaent saw the contestants from different nations across the world. Could there be a bad blood between Miss Colombia and Miss Philippines after what happened?
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. “I feel awful”, he later wrote on Twitter.

Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez was incorrectly named Miss Universe. He called it a terribly honest human mistake, but misspelt the women’s home countries.
