How embarrassing!
Just moments after being crowned Miss Universe 2015, Ariadna Gutiérrez of Colombia was stripped of her title on live television — and it was all Steve Harvey’s mistake. He announced the wrong winner of the Miss Universe 2015 pageant and the crowd watched in heartbreak and horror as the crown had to be removed from the head of one contestant and placed on another.
Harvey then revealed it was was actually Miss Philippines Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach, who had just been declared first runner up only minutes before, that was the true winner of Miss Universe 2015.
“Okay, folks,” he explained. “I have to apologize. The first runner-up is Colombia.”

Steve Harvey already admitted his mistake on Twitter, “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.”
We all make mistakes but that’s one mistake he should have avoided at all costs as a professional host especially on this prestigious pageant. But we can’t do anything anymore about that. It happens in live shows. All we need is smile, have fun and enjoy what happened to Miss Universe 2015. It will be part of our history.
