Four years have passed since Steve Harvey, the host of Miss Universe, made a historic mistake by mistakenly awarding Miss Colombia the title of winner, Ariadna Gutiérrez.
Incredible as it may seem, the incident is still a thorn in the driver's shoe, who in the Miss Universe 2019 final, held last night in Atlanta, tried to make it up again by making a joke about Colombia that unfortunately fell like a bomb.
It all started when Harvey called the 20 finalists of the contest, including Miss Colombia 2019: Gabriela Tafur.
When she arrived on stage she asked a joker: “Did you read it correctly? Am I going back? Tell me what to do!". After a brief moment of laughter, Tafur concluded by saying: "We forgive you, do not rush."
But Harvey was not silent and replied: “You will have forgiven me, but the poster has not. They are not handling it the same way."
The video of the exchange between the two went viral and logically the networks did not forgive. It was an embarrassing moment and if the cartels were still important in Colombia, should I be joking about it? This is wrong and he did a lousy job in general,”said a Twitter user.
Why take advantage of what hurts Colombians the most? This is extremely disrespectful,”said someone else in one of dozens of tweets denouncing the comment.
The final of the Miss Universe 2019 took place this Sunday, December 8 in Atlanta, Georgia, and there the South African Zozibini Tunzi was crowned as her brand-new queen.
