It was an embarrassing moment when the beauty pageant ended
Sunday night with the contestant from Colombia having the crown removed from
her head and placed on the contestant from the Philippines after Harvey
mistakenly read that she had won when really she was the first runner-up.
Miss Universe host Steve Harvey says no one feels worse than
he does about his mistake awarding Colombia the crown before Miss Universe.
Harvey spoke to reporters assembled at the Planet Hollywood
hotel-casino where the pageant concluded with him awarding the crown to the
wrong person.
The newly crowned Miss Universe from the Philippines is
apologizing on behalf of the Miss Universe organization for the mistake that
led a contestant from Colombia to first believe that she had won the crown.
Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach told reporters after the Miss Universe
pageant that she had conflicting emotions when the mistake happened.
- Joy when she was told she was indeed the winner and not first runner-up, concern for Colombia contestant Ariadna Gutierrez Aravelo, who had previously been mistakenly crowned, and confusion at the whole situation.
