A month after Steve Harvey mistakenly
crowned Miss Colombia the winner of Miss Universe, the two are opening up about
the painful experience.
Following Ariadna Guti’rrez's appearance
on TheSteve Harvey Show earlier this week -- where the host apologized to her
for his mistake -- the two sat down again on Wednesday's episode of the Today
show.
"I felt humiliated, but not of
Steve Harvey's mistake, just for what happened," Guti’rrez admitted.
"It was like 'Oh my God, I'm not Miss Universe, what am I going to do now?
Everyone is going to laugh at me and make fun of me.'"
Harvey said he felt ashamed, but also
angry that no one else stepped up to admit a part in the mix-up.
"I read the teleprompter, and
clearly I read what it said to read, and then I followed the direct instruction
in my ear," he said. "We went straight from, 'And the new 2015 Miss
Universe is...' and when they said read the card, all the cards in rehearsal
never had any of that on there, except the name."
The two have since made up, and in the
interview, even joke about hosting next year's competition together -- with
Miss Colombia reading the card, of course.
