Steve Harvey’s Wife Defends His Miss Universe Fail: I’m ‘Proud’ To Be His Wife

Steve Harvey isn't alone in his attempt to apologize to the entire world for screwing up the Miss Universe 2015 Pageant, his wife Marjorie Harvey is defending him too! Marjorie Harvey is standing behind her husband Steve Harvey! Marjorie took to Instagram on Dec. 21 to defend her husband for accidentally crowning Miss Colombia instead of Miss Philippines and she says she's proud of how he handled the royal mix up. But does that take away from the fact that he crushed Miss Colombia's dreams and ruined Miss Philippines first night as Miss Universe?

Marjorie wrote: “You are a Stand Up Man and A True Class Act the way you went back out on the stage on live TV and took full responsibility alone. I am so proud to be your wife! I love you.” This is sweet but still doesn’t take away from the mixup and how when Steve apologized his tweets were misspelled. “I want to apologize emphatically to Miss Philippians and Miss Columbia. This was a terribly honest human mistake and I am so regretful.” Well he couldn’t read the card correctly and he can’t spell the countries either. He did delete these and post with the correct spellings though but still!

Steve posted another apology to his Facebook: “I made a terrible mistake tonight in announcing the wrong winner and runner-up for the Miss Universe pageant. I know how much pride many countries, fans and most importantly, the contestants take in preparing for this night. I hope that you can forgive me. All contestants were amazing but I want to specifically apologize to Miss Colombia and Miss Philippines again and wholeheartedly. You both represented well for your countries, families and yourselves.”
