Disaster On Miss Universe 2015 As Steve Harvey Announces The WRONG Winner

At the just concluded Miss Universe 2015 which won by Miss Philippines Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach on Sunday night Steve Harvey announced the wrong winner for the pageant as the crowd watched in calamity and dismay as the crown had to be removed from the head of one contestant and placed on another on live television. 

Steve Harvey strolled up on stage, with shame on his face, when he told the crowd “Folks, I have to apologize, the first runner-up is Colombia” after he had earlier announced Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez as the winner pageant and Gutierrrez was actually waving a thank you kiss to the crowd when she was informed that it was actually Miss Philippines Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach who had won the crown instead. Miss Philippines stared wide-eyed at the audience, her lip quivering as Miss USA whispered into her ear and she realized what exactly those words meant. “Miss Universe 2015 is Miss Philippines” Harvey then dramatically clarified “Folks let me take control of this, this is exactly what's on the card, I will take responsibility for this, and it was my mistake. I can show it to your right here, the first runner up is Colombia. It's my mistake, still a great night. Please don't hold it against the ladies” he said, displaying the results on the camera. 

Wurtzbach joined Gutierrez on stage and stared into the audience in shock, Miss Universe 2014 Paulina Vega giving her fellow countrywoman a comforting pat on the back just minutes after they had shared a victorious embrace. The heartbreaking moment came when Miss Colombia had to bend down, allowing Vega to remove the crown and place it on Miss Philippines head instead. The telecast then came to an abrupt stop, cutting without credits or allowing Miss Philippines to take her first walk as Miss Universe.

“I'd like to apologize wholeheartedly to Miss Colombia & Miss Philippines for my huge mistake. I feel terrible. Secondly, I'd like to apologize to the viewers at that I disappointed as well. Again it was an honest mistake. This was a terribly honest human mistake and I am so regretful. I don't want to take away from this amazing night and pageant as well as the wonderful contestants. They were all amazing” Harvey wrote in a tweet following the broadcast as once again emphatically' apologize to Gutierrez and Wurtzbach.

Miss Colombia was wiping away tears backstage when she was asked if she had a message for her fans and she assured them she was happy saying “everything happens for a reason, I'm happy for all I did, I'm so happy. Thank you for voting for me” 

Harvey's mistake was the final twist in the three-hour pageant that sometimes felt more like a reality show.
