The 2015 Miss Universe Pageant audience witnessed the ultimate plot twist on when host, Steve Harvey accidentally announced the wrong winner of the prestigious pageant. In a misread of his card and teleprompter, Steve gave Miss Colombia (Ariadna Gutierrez) the crown when all along, Miss Philippines (Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach) was the actual winner. It didn't take long for the Internet to dissect him for this mistake. Check out the celebrity reactions from Justin Bieber, Charlamagne Tha God, Donald Trump and more!

In the aftermath of Steve Harvey's "honest mistake" on FOX's live broadcast of the Miss Universe pageant, several celebrities had something to say about the incident. Radio and television personality, Charlamagne Tha God (The Breakfast Club, MTV's Uncommon Sense) knows first hand how difficult live TV hosting can be and encouraged viewers to have pity on Harvey. He also shared how he would have checked, checked and double checked the announcement.

As soon as the mistake was brought to his attention, Steve corrected it and took full responsibility by apologizing profusely. However, some folks like rapper, comedian Lil Duval (MTV's Guy Code) admitted he definitely wouldn't have taken the high road and been so honest in that situation.

Of course, Donald Trump (2016 GOP frontrunner) added his two cents to the mix of reactions. As the previously reported by Mstars, Mr. Trump used to own the Miss Universe pageant as of six months ago. Trump is obviously still salty about the acquisition and threw ultimate shade with his Twitter reaction.

Trump later spoke on the Today Show admitting that he supports Steve Harvey, but attributes a bit of this mistake to the fact that the Miss Universe organization is under new management; saying he would have handled things differently. Finally, the hilarious memes began rolling in as people made light of the slip up. Justin Bieber re-posted the following meme on Instagram that plays on his "Sorry" song lyrics. He commented, "It's so sad but this is too funny had to repost no disrespect."
