Miss California USA Prejean dethroned - CNN.com

LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Carrie Prejean has been dethroned as Miss California USA for "contract violations," including missing scheduled pageant events, according to a state pageant official.

Prejean, 22, retained her title last month despite a controversy over topless photos, missed appearances and her statements against same-sex marriage.

Miss USA pageant owner Donald Trump decided to fire Prejean a month after he gave her a second chance.

"Carrie is a beautiful young woman, and I wish her well as she pursues her other interests," Trump said.

Runner-up Tami Farrell, who was Miss Malibu, will immediately assume the Miss California USA title, state pageant Executive Director Keith Lewis said.

"This was a decision based solely on contract violations, including Ms. Prejean's unwillingness to make appearances on behalf of the Miss California USA organization," he said.

Trump brought Prejean and Lewis together in New York for a meeting last month, after which he announced that communications between the beauty queen and pageant officials had been repaired.

"I told Carrie she needed to get back to work and honor her contract with the Miss California USA organization, and I gave her the opportunity to do so," Trump said. "Unfortunately, it just doesn't look like it is going to happen, and I offered Keith my full support in making this decision."

Charles Limandri, Prejean's lawyer, said she learned about the decision Wednesday morning in a phone call from Trump's office.

"This is all kind of a big shock," Limandri said. "We've been working with Mr. Trump's office; she's been doing all the speaking engagements she's been asked to do. It is not true that she has not been cooperating."

No one from the pageant organization ever warned Prejean she was not doing what they wanted, he said.

"Something is going on," he said. "Truth is not being told. I don't understand where this is coming from, or why."

"For people to say that she breached her contract, that she is not doing speaking engagements is false," he said. "She did one last Sunday in Las Vegas and it went really well."

Prejean stepped into controversy at the Miss USA pageant in April when she declared her opposition to same-sex marriage in a response to a question asked during the national pageant by Perez Hilton, a pageant judge. Prejean finished as first runner-up, but it was not clear if her answer cost her the crown.

The controversy boiled to a new level in early May when seminude photos of Prejean appeared on gossip Web sites.

Miss California USA officials -- some of them outspoken advocates of same-sex marriage -- suggested that the photos breached the contract Prejean signed with the pageant. These officials also complained they couldn't reach Prejean and she had missed important pageant events.

The controversy seemed over when Trump declared the pictures not to be too racy and Prejean promised to do better in communicating with the state pageant.

"After our press conference in New York, we had hoped we would be able to forge a better working relationship," Lewis said Wednesday. "However, since that time, it has become abundantly clear that Carrie is unwilling to fulfill her obligations under our contract and work together."

Hilton, the judge who asked the same-sex question during the pageant, cheered Prejean's firing.

"Better late than never!" Hilton said.

Shanna Moakler, a former Miss USA who resigned as co-executive director of the California pageant when Trump did not dismiss Prejean last month, welcomed Wednesday's decision.

"First and foremost, my faith has been restored in the Miss Universe organization and with Donald Trump," Moakler said. "I believed eventually what I intimately knew would come to fruition."

Took them long enough. I don't know why she wasn't dethroned for the topless and other semi-nude photos; that's been enough to cost women their crowns in the past.

She'll be in porn in 3 months, count on it.

I believe.. in this nation... where I'm from.. that people are .. its nice to be able to choose who you can marry... but ... i believe... porn is between a man and a woman... and whatever farm animals they so choose.

No way; porn stars rarely become mainstream. An amateur sex tape will be "leaked" to give her fame and relevancy a boost right before some career move. Worked for Kim Kardashian. Now taking bets on a Christian rock album.

[Correction]

Why publicize it? She was on the cusp of fading into obscurity. Way to give her something else to keep her in the news for at least another cycle, Trump.

Fuck...

Requesting said topless pictures.

I'm too lazy to google.

Not really sure how you switch out Miss America for the runner up without anyone noticing. It's probably better that they addressed the issue or a cover up/silent move scandal would have made it even bigger and given her the opportunity to spin it into a situation where she's the victim.

The "maps to the iraq" chick from S.C. or wherever pitched a few show ideas to my roommate, who was working for Ashton Kutcher's production company at the time. He enthusiastically took the meeting when his boss was too busy - said she was even hotter in person, lol.

[BarthelloSylph]

Why do people dislike her again? I haven't really kept up with this.

[EternityEnd]

Mostly because she's a retarded bitch with no work ethic or common sense.

[Dimmauk]

She will be working for Fox news very soon.
