While the entire Internet was lambasting Harvey for accidentally naming the wrong woman the winner of the Miss Universe pageant, Marjorie stood by him. A day after the incident, she even took to Instagram to show her public support.
“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,” she said in the caption of a picture of the two of them on the red carpet.

She then went on to add, “I am so proud to be your wife! I love you.”
It was a statement of much-needed support after Harvey declared Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez the next Miss Universe instead of Miss Philippines Pia Wurtzbach. After the live gaffe, Harvey took to Twitter to apologize.
