Carrie Prejean Stripped Of Her Miss California Crown
Because she violated the terms of her contract with the beauty pageant organization, according to officials.
“This was a business decision, based solely on contract violations,” Keith Lewis, executive director of K2 Productions, said in the documents. “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.” ...
Trump told us Carrie refused to appear at around 30 events on behalf of Miss California USA. He says Prejean was contractually bound to appear and she just wouldn’t do it. He doesn’t think her attitude has anything to do with her politics.
Trump said: “To me she was the sweetest thing. Everyone else—she treated like s**t.”
My guess is that Prejean wanted to be stripped of her crown. Her entire 15 minutes of fame was all about being a martyr for the anti-gay marriage movement. So losing her crown is just another way to whip up the controversy again and squeeze out another 15 minutes.
If this were really about her politics (and I’m pretty certain it isn’t) the Miss America people would have been better off just letting her serve out her time as Miss California and move on. Giving her the axe, again, just turns her into a martyr. Which, in the long run, is probably better for her career as a public figure than hanging on to her official tiara.
