As host of the Miss Universe pageant Sunday night in Las Vegas,
Harvey announced Miss Colombia was the winner... but then he realized he had made a mistake, and she was actually the first runner-up. It was Miss Philippines who should have been crowned.
Poor, Miss Colombia. She had her crown taken right off of her head.
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 (we screen-grabbed it):
"I want to apologize emphatically to Miss Philippians and Miss Columbia. This was a terribly honest human mistake and I am so regretful."
You'll notice he misspelled both "Colombia" and "Philippines." Can we blame autocorrect? Let's blame autocorrect.
Here's Harvey confirming his mistake: The correct winner, Miss Philippines, and first runner-up, Miss Colombia, are listed on his card.
Maybe he confused "first runner-up" with "first"?
However, Harvey says in the Miss Universe Snapchat that it was the teleprompter that misinformed him.
in other news, Harvey has rewritten his apology tweet, but didn't pass blame to the teleprompter:usatoday
