AceShowbiz - Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez apparently doesn't hold a grudge against Steve Harvey who mistakenly announced her name as Miss Universe 2015 last month. While stopping by his show for Part 2 of the "Miss Universe: The Truth" special, airing Tuesday, January 19, Ariadna made fun of his flub at the beauty pageant contest.
"How do you feel about the way I handle this situation?" Steve asked Ariadna who looked fabulous in a long-sleeved shimmering outfit. "You have to learn how to read cards... because it was on the card," she replied while giggling.
As the elimination card of the beauty pageant contest appeared on the screen, Ariadna joked, "You wanted me to win," to which Steve excitedly replied, "Yes, that's it! I wanted you to win. I'm off the hook now, that's it. I can leave it at that."
When a picture showing Steve apologizing for his blunder on the stage of the beauty pageant contest appeared on the screen, he told Ariadna, "I couldn't even look at you, though." The Colombian beauty then admitted that she didn't think he made a mistake. "I was laughing. If you see the videos I was laughing because I thought you were about to make a joke," she said, prompting Steve to say, "That would be the worst day of my joke I've ever written in my life."
Ariadna continued, "I was like, 'No, he's going to be again in the mood, you know, making the people laugh. He's going to make some jokes.' You know, like Oprah [Winfrey], 'You are Miss Universe! You are Miss Universe! Everyone is Miss Universe.' "
In Part 1 of the special, Steve denied his blunder was a publicity stunt and opened up about death threats his family received following his blunder. "My family got death threats, I have people camped outside my house," he said, adding, "My kids can't go anywhere."
