Last night, the coveted Miss Universe title was down to two contestants: Miss Columbia & Miss Philippines.
And after much grueling anticipation, Steve Harvey boldly announces Miss Universe 2015: MISS COLOMBIA!!
The crowd goes wild, Miss Philippines accepts defeat with a smile, the crown gets laid upon this year’s proud queen, and all seems right with the universe…until Harvey gets back on the mic to announce a horrific mistake: Miss Colombia was actually first runner up, meaning Miss Philippines was the real winner of the night.
The overwhelming sense of shock and pure awkward was painted on every face in the room as the ladies faced the reality of the blunder and the crowd recovered from the unthinkable mishap.
Watch their reactions as the crown gets taken from Miss Colombia, and handed over to its rightful owner:
Steve Harvey is without a doubt the most hated man in Colombia right now as Colombian citizens blast him over the web for his mistake.
BUT after all, that’s what it was: a mistake. And people make them—we all do, including the celebrities that our society holds on a pedestal. The most amazing part is the grace with which every person involved handled the situation.
