Disaster on MissUniverse 2015 asSteve HarveyAnnounces TheWrong Winner onLive TV

Miss Colombia wiped away tears
of joy as the $30,000 blue
diamond and topaz crown was
placed upon her head and she
was named Miss Universe 2015,
winning the title for her country
for the second year in a row.
But her glory only lasted for two
minutes.
Just as Ariadna Gutierrez was
blowing kisses and waving to her
adoring fans she was informed,
on live television, that it was
actually Miss Philippines Pia
Alonzo who was meant to be
wearing the crown.

Steve Harvey strolled up on
stage, the shame already evident
on his face, when he told the
crowd ‘Folks, I have to
apologize.”The first runner-up,’
he then announced. ‘Is
Colombia.’ ‘Miss Universe 2015,’
Harvey then dramatically
clarified, ‘Is Miss Philippines.’
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.
Pia joined Ariadna on stage and
stared into the audinece 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.
