Social Networking Teases Steve Harvey As His Massive Blunder In Crowning The Wrong Miss Universe Is Blamed On Teleprompter (Videos)

Steve Harvey announces the wrong Miss Universe:

 

Actor/comedian Steve Harvey, made a massive error in announcing the new Miss Universe at the pageant this past Sunday in Las Vegas. Harvey stated the new Miss Universe is Miss Colombia, Ariadna Gutierrez, when the winner was actually Miss Philippines, Pia Wurtzbach. In an awkward scene, live on air, the crown was removed from Miss Colombia's head and placed on Miss Philippines.

Steve Harvey blames mix up on the teleprompter:

It has made the news all over the world and has become the source of intense laughter on social networking. Harvey later apologized to Miss Philippines for the blunder he blamed on the teleprompter. Harvey revealed the teleprompter stated Miss Colombia, but the paper he was given stated Miss Philippines. 

Miss Germany's reaction is being heavily criticized on Twitter:

People online are crying foul, stating the incident is a cruel publicity stunt, as U.S. presidential candidate, Donald Trump owns the Miss Universe pageant and had a global scandal with the previous contest (Global Backlash As Miss Jamaica Places 5th In The Miss Universe Pageant). Some believe the incident was orchestrated for ratings at the expense of Harvey, Miss Philippines and Miss Colombia.

Then another controversy erupted online when Miss Germany, Sarah Lorraine, made comments in a video interview about Miss Philippines that were slammed all over social networking. Miss Germany began to trend on the social networking website Twitter for all the wrong reasons, as people lashed out at her comments.

Photos also emerged of poor Miss Colombia devastated and crying. It is understandable under the circumstances, as that was a traumatic shock to sustain. However, she needs to spin this thing into gold, by getting commercials that spoof or poke fun at what happened at the pageant. I also feel sorry for Miss Philippines, as her moment was somewhat ruined.

Steve Harvey's apology on Twitter:



It was a sad mix up, but it is better to laugh at it than cry. Here are some of the funnier tweets on Twitter about the pageant:

Miss Germany's controversial reaction to Miss Universe 2015 [FULL TRANSCRIPT] 

Published on Dec 21, 2015 - In an unexpected and surprising turn of events, Miss Germany has expressed discontent and disgust at the results of the recently concluded Miss Universe 2015. She has surprisingly thrown shade at Miss Philippines' win after expressing that none of the contestants have supported Miss Philippines win. See full transcript. 

__start__ 

Miss Germany, of course, you were participating in this event. What was your reaction when you saw that Ms Colombia was the Miss Universe, and then all of a sudden, they said it was a mistake and she was not Miss Universe anymore? 

Ms Germany: I couldn’t believe it. I was so upset. For me, Miss France was the real winner. I was very happy for Colombia. Actually she really deserves it(Miss Colombia), but I’m really not happy with the result and so were the other girls. I’m sorry to say that. 

You, and all the candidates, went to Miss Colombia directly. When you saw they were taking the crown from her, why did you go to Miss Colombia instead of going to congratulate Miss Philippines?

Ms Germany: Because none of us voted for Philippines. I’m sorry to say that. 

Can you elaborate on that? 

Ms Germany: No, I don’t want to elaborate on that. But we really like Colombia and we’re really happy for her. I just can’t stop my emotions right now. I’m really not happy with the results. I wish Pia the best in life and career. But I’m really not happy with the results. 

What have you done if that would have happened to you (what happened to Miss Colombia)? 

Ms Germany: Well, that’s probably like the most, like, awful situation ever and ever. Like that’s not fair. You get crowned Miss Universe…like there are so many things…that you need to take away the crown. I’m so sorry for her. That’s probably the first that ever and ever happened in her life. Well, I would handle the situation properly. You have the crown, like, be proud, to represent my country and I’m proud. Best crown. 

Thank you so much. What is your name?

Ms Germany: Sarah Lorraine.

Global Backlash As Miss Jamaica Places 5th In The Miss Universe Pageant

Global Backlash As Miss Jamaica Places 5th In The Miss Universe Pageant

Miss Jamaica and Miss Colombia

The Miss Universe pageant has been rocked by a global backlash that began in the audience of the live, internationally televised show that took place in Miami, Florida this year. Pageant favorite, Miss Jamaica, Kaci Fennell, placed fifth in the competition, leading to loud, spontaneous booing from the audience. It was a first in pageant history. Twitter erupted in anger as people began posting their displeasure at the elimination, stating Miss Jamaica had been "robbed." 

Miss Colombia, Paulina Vega, was awarded the crown. People on Twitter also posted items revealing Wikipedia had updated their website with the winner's name (Miss Colombia Paulina Vega) 15 minutes before the live pageant results were announced on the air, leading people to state the show is rigged. 

 

Many did not display anger at Miss Colombia winning, as she is beautiful as well, but they expressed the view Miss Jamaica should not have placed so low and should have won. Many of the people who made comments on Twitter to that effect are black, white, Hispanic and Asian from a number of countries. The backlash grew so bad, it made global newspapers such as the Washington Post, The Kansas City Star, the Daily Mail (UK) and Inquirer Group (Philippines). It has also featured on a number of global entertainment news programs on television.

 

The Huffington Post stated some area blaming race as a factor in Miss Jamaica's shock exit. The website pointed out only 4 black women have won Miss Universe. The finals of this year's telecast certainly lacked diversity. Miss Jamaica was the only black woman among the 15 finalists, when Miss Haiti and Miss Gabon were beautiful as well.

The news gets worse. According to local news reports, taxpayers in Miami footed the bill for the show and at a loss, not getting the return on said investment. Trump used the Miss Universe pageant to promote his new real estate development in the Miami suburb of Doral. The only problem is, while Doral has a number of lovely homes, it is not a central location in Miami. The most sought after suburb of Miami is Miami Beach, which contains South Beach and is the more popular backdrop for filmed projects.

Twitter Is Upset That Miss Jamaica Didn't Win The Miss Universe Crown

Posted: 01/26/2015 9:35 am EST  - Not everyone is happy for the newly crowned Miss Universe. On Sunday, Miss Colombia Paulina Vega beat out first runner-up Miss USA Nia Sanchez and contestants from more than 80 other countries at the pageant in Miami, Florida. 

However, instead of the usual cheering, the audience booed the judges' decision, making it known that crowd favourite Miss Jamaica Kaci Fennell's fifth place (officially she was fourth runner-up) wasn't good enough. Some people claimed Kaci lost due to her short hair, while others claimed it was due to race. (Only four black women have won the title since the pageant first started in 1952.) 

The stunning brunette had a lot of fans due to her obvious intelligence, her beauty and her "unconventional" pageant style, which included sporting a cute pixie cut instead of the traditional long hair that's typical of most contestants... "I don't have long tresses like everyone else, I'm just representing myself and that's what beauty pageants are all about," said Fennell. "You don't have to look a certain way ... and I feel like I represent that." Kaci also called Usain Bolt, the world's fastest short-distance runner, and the late Bob Marley as her country's greatest contributions to the world.
