Former Miss California Carrie Prejean is involved in another scandal after a leaked sextape video was released. The beauty queen admitted during a Today show appearance that she made a tape but wouldn’t call it a sextape because she was a solo act.
Prejean claims she made the tape at 17 years old and sent the private “sexting” video to her boyfriend.

A legal standoff between Carrie Prejean and Miss California USA officials reportedly ended when a Pageant lawyer played his trump card: a sex tape far more hard-core than the nude pictures which had previously scandalized her – and in which she had the starring role.
After being shown the hardcore home video – in which she apparently engages in a solo sex act – Prejean dropped her million-dollar-plus demands, TMZ.com reports, and bolted from the negotiating table.
The tape has never been released publically.
The negotiations war ends with Prejean getting zilch, TMZ.com reports. Pageant officials will reportedly pay her lawyers and a publicist $100K, with nothing going directly to her.
The settlement also relieved Prejean of any financial obligations to pageant organizer K2Productions – including repaying her breast augmentation surgery.
Prejean, who was stripped of her Miss California crown in June, had filed suit against pageant officials claiming religious discrimination.
She found herself an unlikely political lightening rod and cause celebre for the Right for voicing faith-based opposition to gay marriage during the Q&A portion of the Miss USA pageant.
Prejean subsequently found herself squarely in the sites of Perez Hilton, the judge who’d asked the question.
The openly gay celebrity blogger excoriated Prejean on his Web site, and suggested her answer might have cost her the Miss USA title.
Officials say they relieved her of the title for failure to attend contractually-obligated appearances.
In addition to accusing her of failing to repay $5200 for the breast augmentation, their counter-suit alleged Prejean broke her contract and lied about semi-nude photos. [source]
