Carie Prejean Has A Couple Of Points Arising From The Pageant! ~ by Surfer Dude

Miss California has a couple of points... and she is not happy about them. Carrie Prejean, Miss California, has been surrounded in controversy. Apparently, Prejean borrowed $5,200 to have her breasts augmented last year. Carrie Prejean has filed a lawsuit in which she has claimed pageant officials violated her privacy by acknowledging to reporters that her breasts were "fake." Pageant lawyers claim that Prejean's breasts "ceased being private during the swimsuit competition of the nationally televised Miss USA pageant, in which Ms. Prejean walked the stage in a bikini." State pageant officials claim they loaned the money for the surgery and they want the money repaid. The same officials apparently dethroned Prejean as Miss California because of her stance on gay marriage.

Pagent officials are seeking any profits from Prejean's tell-all book which they claim was written in violation of her pageant contract. The pageant's demands appear in a cross-complaint filed in response to Prejean's lawsuit in Los Angeles County Superior Court. Prejean continues to claim that her dethroning was because of religious discrimination because of her position against same-sex marriage.
Pagent officials claim Prejean, 22, did not retain he throne because of belligerent behavior, lack of cooperation and contract breaches causing her firing. "Ethically and morally, Carrie Prejean no longer deserved to be Miss California USA," according to pageant pleadings.

One has to wonder why Prejean needed bigger breasts in the first place. Prejean apparently felt that she would be more competitive for the Miss USA pageant after the surgery. But just how is it appropriate for pageant officials to loan her the money for breast augmentation? Just what was the relationship between Prejean, California pageant officials and Miss USA pageant owner Donald Trump? And just what is the purpose of this lawsuit? Is it to extend Prejean's notoriety and name recognition? Or is Prejean taking up the cross of exposing the superficial nature of the pageant industry?

Update 11-5-09: Litigation can get nasty! TMZ allegedly obtained the a sex tape involving Prejean. Prejean and Miss California USA officials had sued each other and were in settlement talks last week. Prejean was allegely demanding at least six figures but when Pageant officials showed her they had a copy of the tape, it apparently ended Prejean's demands. Prejean had sued the Pageant for allegedly firing her because of her beliefs and disclosing confidential information about her breast implants. The Pageant countersued, claiming Prejean had violated the terms of being Miss Cali USA. Under Pageant rules, all contestants signed forms that gave assurance they had no nude videos or pictures in their past. The sex tape apparently was the "trump card" for the Pageant officials.
