Are there certain elemental forces in the universe (or at least Miss Universe) that must not be mocked? And is one of those forces the former owner of the Miss Universe contest, Donald Trump? Those that have antagonized The Donald seem eerily to have suffered miserable fates. Just ask Lindsey Graham, Rick Perry, or Jeb Bush whose poll numbers seem to have almost completely vanished after attacking Trump. However, their fates do not seem to have been nearly as bad as that suffered on Sunday by Miss Universe host Steve Harvey.
In the first video below you can see Steve Harvey joyously laughing at the mockery by celebrity judge Perez Hilton of the former Miss Universe contest owner. His enjoyment was very short-lived because it is soon followed by an incident that will forever haunt Harvey now and forever unto the end of time. The Curse of the Donald? Before you write that off as superstitious mumbo-jumbo, watch both videos to see poor Harvey plunge from the heights of happiness to the depths of despair.
Yes, laugh Steve. Enjoy your brief moments of Trump mockery because you will soon face what many will term "The Curse of the Donald." It happened soon afterwards when Harvey announced the winner of the Miss Universe contest except, oops, it wasn't the winner.
Oh the embarrassment! Note the absolute misery on Steve Harvey's face in stark contrast to his sheer joy earlier when laughing at what was being said about Trump. Believe me, if he could take it all back to avoid his fate, there is no doubt he would. But now it is too late. The one moment in Steve Harvey's life that will be forever remembered is when he announced the non-winner of the Miss Universe contest only to have to take it all back moments later.
The Associated Press reports on the most miserable moment in Steve Harvey's life as well as invoking the name of the one whom many believe you must not antagonize.
LAS VEGAS ---The Miss Universe contestant from the Philippines is this year's winner but for one brief moment Sunday evening, it appeared as if it might be a repeat win for Colombia.
Colombia contestant Ariadna Gutierrez Arevalo was already wearing the crown as this year's Miss Universe winner when host Steve Harvey returned to apologize.
Harvey says it was his mistake and that he would take responsibility for not reading the card correctly that named contestant Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach this year's winner and Colombia the first runner-up. Talking with members of the press afterward, Harvey and an executive for pageant owner WME-IMG called it human error.
"Nobody feels worse about this than me," he said.
A mystified Wurtzbach appeared stunned as she walked to the front of the stage alongside the crown-wearing Arevalo before last year's Miss Universe from Colombia removed the crown and placed it on Wurtzbach's head instead.
Harvey also apologized on Twitter, but at first misspelled the home countries of both contestants before also correcting that.
"I'd like to apologize wholeheartedly to Miss Colombia & Miss Philippines for my huge mistake," he wrote. "I feel terrible."
Even before Sunday night's inexplicable oops moment, the pageant was involved in another controversy when a backlash against the pageant's former owner Donald Trump led Univision to pull out of the broadcast and the businessman to sell it in September.
