Beauty Queen fight! Does Carrie Prejean’s lawsuit against former Miss USA have any merit?
When two queens do battle, you know there is going to be lots of scratching and hissing.
Former Miss USA runner-up Carrie Prejean has squared up against her former bosses, including Shanna Moakler, Miss USA 1995.
Prejean on Monday, Aug. 31, filed a lawsuit against California pageant executive director Keith Lewis and Moakler, who served as a co-director before resigning in protest of Prejean, the Associated Press says.
Prejean claims libel, slander and religious discrimination, accusing the pageant officials of telling her to stop mentioning God even before her controversial remarks against gay marriage.
But Moakler has also worn ‘THE CROWN” and rolled around in the Divadom’s sweet, sweet nectar.
Her attorney called Prejean’s case whack and implied she’s making a big stink out of a self-created situation.
“As everyone who watched or read her public statements is well aware, Ms. Prejean’s unfortunate and bigoted statements are responsible for any public humiliation or damages to her reputation that she has claimed to have suffered,” attorney Mel Avanzado said, according to People.com.
Pageant owner Donald Trump canned Prejean, then Miss California, in June. Officials said she violated her contract partly by missing a string of scheduled appearances.
Oh, and she was a royal pain in the you-know-what to be around.
Prejean’s attorney called them big, fat liars.
He says she was kicked to the curb due to controversial remarks in April during the Miss USA pageant that marriage should be between a man and a woman.
