Olivia Culpo Supports Steve Harvey After Miss Universe 2015 Pageant Gaffe
Weeks after her relationship with Tim Tebow was revealed to not be much of a relationship at all, Olivia Culpo was one of the witnesses to Steve Harvey's pageant faux pas on Sunday nigh
The former Miss Universe served as a judge for the Miss Universe 2015 pageant, along with Perez Hilton, Niecy Nash, and Emmitt Smith.
Harvey announced Miss Colombia, Ariadna Gutierrez, as the winner, when really Miss Philippines, Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach, was the victor.
"Poor Steve Harvey!!! But at least he did the right thing and rectified the situation #MissUniverse2015," the Former Miss Universe and Miss Rhode Island USA Olivia Culpo tweeted
Miss Philippines Pia Wurtzbach was crowned Miss Universe on December 20, but Pageant host Steve Harvey first named Miss Colombia Adriadna Gutierrez as the new Miss Universe before he realized he made a mistake.
Moments after Steve Harvey crowned Miss Colombia the winner of the Miss Universe title he took it back and announced the Miss Universe winner was actually Miss Philippines, not Miss Colombia, leading to suggestions that the two women share the crown.
The former Miss Philippines understood the gaffe.
"The way it was written, it was a little confusing," she said. "I understand. It was his first time to judge a pageant, but it's OK. He's human. People make mistakes."
Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez revealed that she "cried a ton" after she was declared the winner of the Miss Universe pageant by host Steve Harvey
"I went up to my parents' room and, obviously, I was very sad, I was in bad shape, I was crying. I cried a ton that night," the 22-year-old Gutierrez Spanish-language network Univision.
Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutiérrez is in favor of splitting the title.
"It was very humiliating for me, but also for the whole country and for all the people not only from Colombia but the other Latinos that were in the auditorium," Gutiérrez was recently quoted in a radio station interview.
Pia Angela Alonzo Wurtzbach was born on September 24, 1989. She was once professionally known as Pia Romero. The new Miss Universe is a Filipina-German actress, model and beauty queen who was crowned Binibining Pilipinas 2015 on March 15, 2015.
"Immediately after it happened, they asked the pageant people to come to the press conference," Harvey admitted on his first Steve Harvey Morning Show segment of the New Year.
"I wasn't scheduled to be at a press conference, so I went to the press conference and made all the apologies there ... Here's the situation: Now, when the mistake was made, when I said the wrong woman's name, I can only give information I had. No one knows, and that information is not in the teleprompter because you've got two women standing there. I read what was on the teleprompter, then I read what was on the card."
Harvey took to Twitter to apologize for the mistake.
Tim Tebow and Olivia Culpo split over his Christian values, according to gossip sites. It seems the backfield wasn't in motion. Will Tim and Olivia work things out or go back to the showers?
