Carrie Prejean has delivered what she had promised. The former Miss California USA filed a lawsuit against pageant officials Monday for libel, slander and religious discrimination, accusing them of telling her to stop mentioning God even before her controversial remarks against gay marriage.
According to THP,
Prejean sued California pageant executive director Keith Lewis and actress and former Miss USA Shanna Moakler, who served as a co-director before resigning in protest of Prejean.
Prejean was fired in June by pageant officials who said she missed several scheduled appearances.
Her attorney, Chuck LiMandri, said that wasn’t true, and Prejean was ousted because of controversial remarks in April during the Miss USA pageant that marriage should be between a man and a woman.
The lawsuit claims Lewis and Moakler both told Prejean not to mention God on her Miss USA application or at public events at least two months before she gave her anti-gay marriage answer.
Moreover, the suit also states that the so-called unauthorized public appearances by Prejean - an appearance on “Fox and Friends” show in May and a Shape magazine interview - were duly authorized by Donald Trump, but were sighted as “unauthorized” by Lewis.
It’s too early to predict the winner, but the latest developments give a hazy picture that Carrie Prejean might just emerge the true champ in this extended game. She definitely seems to have a deck full of trumps up her sleeves!
