Steve Harvey recently opened up about his Miss Universe flub and revealed he reached out to Miss Colombia after the misreading, but she never responded.
“When I did it, it was horrible for Miss Colombia,” he told UsMagazine. And she’s the only one I haven’t had a chance to talk to. I’ve had a chance to talk to Miss Philippines. I’ve talked to all the pageant people. I’ve talked to people backstage. Even me and the director had a long talk. But I haven’t been able to reach out and talk to Miss Colombia. Now, have I tried? Yes. But haven’t gotten a response.”
Harvey said he made the mistake and at that point, had to do his best to rectify it.”And at this point in the game, I’m not in the finger-pointing business and rolling people under the bus. So, I did what I was trained to do by my father … You make a mistake and you own up to it. And I tried to fix it, I tried to fix it right there.”He added,
“I could’ve just stayed back there and said, ‘Y’all fix it,'” he claimed. “I don’t feel sorry for me. I don’t feel sorry for the pageant, the pageant will now be bigger than it’s ever been.”
