As host of the Miss Universe pageant Sunday night in Las Vegas, he called out Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez as the winner of the highly publicized Miss Universe 2015 competition. Except Gutierrez wasn’t the winner. Miss Philippines, Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach, was. Miss Colombia was actually the first runner-up.
As if that wasn't bad enough, a regretful Harvey went and angered the Internet even more by posting this tweet that has since been deleted:
You'll notice he misspelled both "Colombia" and "Philippines."
Unsurprisingly, Twitter exploded almost immediately with viewers taking jabs at Harvey’s expense. Some, however, defended him. Earvin Magic Johnson tweeted, “Steve Harvey made a mistake tonight, we’ve all made mistakes in our careers & lives. @IAmSteveHarvey keep the faith and keep going strong!”
Steve has now apologized again with an official statement.
The pageant was held at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas.
