Miss USA runner up Carrie Prejean just lost her crown. The controversial Miss California caused mayhem when she gave her anti gay marriage answer to Perez Hilton’s question during the Miss USA pageant. Donald Trump released an official statement about the firing.
“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 says.
“Unfortunately it just doesn’t look like it is going to happen and I offered Keith [Lewis] my full support
in making this decision. Carrie is a beautiful young woman and I wish her well as she pursues her other interests.”

Prejean also vowed to work on the campaign against gay marriage and was involved in a scandal when her topless photos leaked online. Shana Moakler resigned as Miss California Pageant director after Donald Trump held a press conference and agreed to let Carrie Prejean keep her job. Carrie Prejean claims she was fired because she refused to be pimped out by the beauty pageant and turned down an offer to pose for a nude Playboy shoot.
The gossip page referring to Carrie Prejean and Playboy talk on TMZ is reporting that We just got off the phone with deposed Miss California USA Carrie Prejean — and she says the pageant was trying to whore her out to Playboy.
Prejean claims pageant honcho Keith Lewis actually asked her last month if she would take two gigs — appearing on “I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here!” and Playboy. Prejean says Lewis told her Playboy offered $140,000 for her to pose semi-nude. She rejected both offers. [source]
Less than a month after being told by Donald Trump that she can keep her Miss California crown, Carrie Prejean was fired on Wednesday.
In a release first obtained by FOXNews.com, K2 Productions, the independent producers of the Miss California USA pageant, under license from Miss Universe, cited continued breach of contract issues as the reason for Prejean’s firing.
“This was a decision based solely on contract violations,” Keith Lewis, executive director of K2 Productions, said in the release. “After our press conference in New York we had hoped we would be able to forge a better working relationship. However, since that time it has become abundantly clear that Carrie has no desire to fulfill her obligations under our contract and work together.
Prejean came under fire for her answer to a question about gay marriage two months ago in the Trump-owned Miss USA pageant, in which she was the runner-up. After the pageant, Prejean was continuously attacked as she defended her belief that gays and lesbians should not be given the right to marry in California. She became embroiled in more controversy when racy pictures of her were published that some construed as violations of her Miss California contract.
Trump came to her defense in a May 12 press conference attended by Prejean and Keith Lewis, calling her answer to the question “honest” and saying “we have determined … that the pictures taken are fine.” He allowed her to continue on as Miss California. [SOURCE]
