Miss Colombia will suffer psychological damage as a result of Steve Harvey's blunder ... so says the country's Counsul General to New York.
Maria Isabel Nieto tells TMZ the snafu was extremely painful for Miss Colombia and will likely cause long-term issues. Nieto notes it was not only psychological torture to have the crown taken away but physically traumatizing to have it removed.
The Counsul General thinks Donald Trump is right on the money ... Miss Philippines and Miss Colombia should share the crown.
Failing that, Nieto thinks pageant officials should give Miss Colombia a more expanded role in the coming year. As she put it, all the first runner up does is wait, and that's not fair.
The President of Colombia even weighed in saying, "I was watching Miss Universe with my family and we even celebrated when we heard Colombia was going to be Miss Universe for the second year in a row. Miss Colombia was marvelous and spectacular. It was a letdown when the host said he made a mistake. I don’t believe this has ever happened in the history of Miss Universe. For me, Miss Colombia is Miss Universe and will continue to be Miss Universe. They placed the crown on her, there is a photo and for me as a Colombian she will continue to be Miss Universe."
Such fragile things.
This blunder will destroy the pageant.
Miss Colombia should be getting SOMETHING at least. Steve Harvey really blew it and the organization needs to make good on his screw up.
Which one did Steve Harvey sleep with ?
Trump is right. It seems stupid but these women have waited their whole lives for these things and she was crowned, only to have the crown ripped off her head. They need to share the crown this year because it was this idiot’s fault.
It doesn't dismiss that she was screwed.
Maybe they should crown her Drama Queen and tell her to get the eff over a stupid mistake in a pageant nobody with half a fuching brain gives a sh1t about.
The video of that sodomite (Perez Hilton) making a lame attempt at a joke at Trump’s expense and Steve Harvey laughing his butt off makes me not give a hoot at all the shame thrown his direction.
Note: I am not even a Trump fan, but he was done wrong here.

I feel for the lady but it was Mr Harvey’s unforced error. Personally, I cannot see why the joint winner option would be bad, it is not like there are not enough venues for each. Trade hemispheres every 3 months? Besides, choosing a beauty contest winner is close to being the ultimate subjective contest, especially between #1 & 2!
He had one job: Read a card. Homie couldn’t get that right.
Donald Trump, who sold his stake in the Miss Universe pageant earlier this year, thinks Miss Colombia and Miss Philippines should be named “co-winners” in light of Sunday night’s crowning mistake.

That headline begs a crude joke.
It’s a conspiracy. Miss Universe is ALWAYS human.
It’s not the genuine winner’s fault, either, so why should she have to share the crown?
(Not that I really care about a bunch of gorgeous girls who have nothing more important to worry about than this. LOL!)
Rahm’s brother now owns this fiasco. You can bet Trump is crowing in private about what happened.
Maybe Steve Harvey did this on purpose in order to hurt Trump.
Are you kidding? More people are talking about the Pageant than they have in years......The ratings should be boffo next year, especially if they bring back Harvey.
This thread is useless w/o pics of Miss Columbia!
