Host Steve Harvey made a horrendous mistake by crowning the wrong Miss Universe on Sunday night, January 20th at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas. He announced Miss Columbia instead of Miss Philippines.

The first runner- up of the pageant was found surrounded by other women supposedly crying. The crown was removed from a sad Ariadna Gutierrez Arevalo, and placed on a stunned Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach, the German first place winner, after Harvey apologized and admitted to his mistake. He also tweeted an apology on Monday, the 21st. “I'd like to apologize wholeheartedly to Miss Colombia & Miss Philippines for my huge mistake. I feel terrible.” And in another tweet, “I don’t want to take away from this amazing night and pageant. As well as the wonderful contestants. They were all amazing.” It was merely a reading mistake, not a typo. I’m sure it won’t be the last of us seeing the damsel in distress. At least the whole pageant world knows who Miss Philippines is now.
