A few days ago, social media used Steve Harvey as an example of comedy for MeMes, they also scrutinized him for his mistake he made on the Miss Universe pageant. It was one of the biggest stories on Monday. What a buzz! I didn't even know that there was a such thing as Miss Universe, due to my frame of reference. I do not follow pageants, so I wouldn't expect to know. After Monday, most people around the world knew what Steve Harvey did. Sadly, many people did not honor him for his transparency. After making a major mistake by calling the wrong person up to recieve the crown for Miss Universe, he had taken it upon himself to correct the situation before millions of live viewers in Las Vegas and abroad. He told the people, that it was an honest mistake and he felt horrible.
Was that the time for him to hide in his dressing room? Ask for a police escort and exit the venue? He took it upon himself to do a press conference and address the media head on. By facing it head on, he took ownership of his mistake. Fox executives released a statement backing Harvey for his committment to excellence and said that it was an honest mistake. They actually invited him back to do the show next year. Sometimes, God will take your mess and make a mesage out of it - in the presence of your enemies. All he asks is that we be transparent, and walk through it.
