Meanwhile, IMG issued another mea culpa on Monday morning: I sold it 6 months ago for a record price. Very sad what happened last night at the Miss Universe Pageant. “Great people, great new owner WATCH.” he wrote. On Sunday night, before Harvey’s gaffe, Trump tweeted that his “friend,” WME-IMG co-CEO Ari Emanuel, bought the pageant from him. UPDATE: On Monday morning, Donald Trump weighed in again via Twitter, reminding people that he sold the franchise earlier this year “for a record price” and claiming under his ownership, “This would never have happened!” Trump took time to revel in Harvey’s mistake, retweeting someone who wrote, “Where’s when you need em?”
Donald Trump and NBCUniversal owned the competition, but they parted ways after Trump’s presidential campaign garnered controversy, and WME/IMG took control of Miss Universe. The attention comes after Miss Universe went through some big changes earlier this year. Earvin Magic Johnson tweeted, “Steve Harvey made a mistake tonight, we’ve all made mistakes in our careers & lives. Unsurprisingly, Twitter exploded almost immediately with viewers taking jabs at Harvey’s expense. The official Miss Universe pageant also posted on Twitter, apologizing to the two contestants, citing “human error” during the live telecast. He tweeted a similar apology earlier, but misspelled the names of both countries, so the message was quickly deleted. “I don’t want to take away from this amazing night and pageant,” he went on. Secondly, I’d like to apologize to the viewers at that I disappointed as well.
Harvey went on to say sorry on his Twitter, writing, “I’d like to apologize wholeheartedly to Miss Colombia & Miss Philippines for my huge mistake.
… Please don’t hold it against the ladies.” “This is exactly what’s on the card,” Harvey said, holding it up, clearly distraught.
