Carrie Prejean was not dethroned her Miss California title. Donald Trump did not usher in his famous slogan “You’re Fired” during the press conference at Trump Towers in New York City on the morning of May 12. Instead, Trump came to Prejean’s side and defended her for those semi-topless pictures leaked.
“We’ve made a determination that the pictures taken were acceptable, they were fine, in many cases they were actually lovely pictures, and in some cases they were modeling pictures.”
Update: Keith Lewis and Shanna Moakler strongly criticized Carrie Prejean, saying she was in breach of contract and entered the Miss California contest under “false pretenses”. You can see a full list of “Miss USA 2009 State Entry Contract: Sections violated by Carrie Prejean” on TMZ.
In the meanwhile, the two officials said state pageant officials would welcome Carrie Prejean back and encourage her to take part in her normal duties if Donald Trump would keep her title.
Update (May 11): Carrie Prejean will not be stripped of her Miss California tiara today. A press conference to be held by Shannon Moakler and Keith Lewis may address the issues surrounding Prejean but not her fate. Donald Trump is expected to have a final say tomorrow May 12 in New York.
The fate of embattled Miss California Carrie Prejean will be decided on Monday morning. Miss California USA co-directors Shannon Moakler and Keith Lewis is to hold a news conference May 11 to announce the decision. As Tami Farrell, Miss California 2009 first runner-up, will also attend the press conference, the possibility of Carrie Prejean to be dethroned as Miss California might be very high.
On Tuesday, Donald Trump, owner of the Miss Universe Organization, will hold an other news conference in New York to discuss the Prejean’s case. It is expected Trump will decide if Prejean will be stripped of her title as first runner-up in the 2009 Miss U.S.A pageant.
The scandals implicated Carrie Prejean are possible contract violations as a result of 1) public campaigns in an ad against the same-sex marriage; 2) lying to pageant officials that she hadn’t taken naked or semi-naked photos as a teen.

According to E! News, the co-directors of the Miss California USA pageant, Keith Lewis and Shanna Moakler, will be holding a press conference on Monday to announce their decision on gay marriage-opposing, semi-nude title holder Carrie Prejean.
Officials are in talks with the 21-year-old beauty queen's reps to determine whether she should keep the coveted tiara due to possible contract violations.
Carrie Prejean has been a lightning rod for controversy since she lost out - she was first runner-up - to Kristen Dalton at the Miss USA Pageant April 19.
First, there were her public appearances with same-sex marriage opponents, then sexy topless and underwear pics she took as a teen and did not disclose.
Many believe that her anti-gay marriage stance, revealed after judge Perez Hilton asked about it during the finals, cost Prejean the Miss USA title.
Miss California Carrie Prejean Racy Pictures Leaked

Miss California Carrie Prejean is defending a racy photo of her that has leaked on the internet. Prejean rose to fame over her answer on gay marriage during the Miss America pageant. See Miss California Carrie Prejean’s racy pictures below.
The photo of Miss California that was leaked on the internet is of her topless and in pink panties. There are rumors of more photos coming out soon. But do you guys even think that photo is that racy?
The entertainment reporter at KVBC in Las Vegas, Alicia Jacobs, has reportedly seen all six of the photos and says some are much more revealing.
Carrie Prejean has released this statement:
“On April 19, I chose to answer a question during the 2009 Miss USA pageant in an honest and personal manner that expressed my views of the long-established definition of marriage as being between a man and a woman. That answer, and my commitment to stand by my beliefs, has since resulted in attacks on me and my integrity as a woman. We live in a great country; a nation that was built on freedom of speech and freedom of religion. Yet my comments defending traditional marriage have led to intimidation tactics that seek to undermine my reputation and somehow silence me and my beliefs, as if opinion is only a one-way street.
“I am a Christian, and I am a model. Models pose for pictures, including lingerie and swimwear photos. Recently, photos taken of me as a teenager have been released surreptitiously to a tabloid Web site that openly mocks me for my Christian faith. I am not perfect, and I will never claim to be. But these attacks on me and others who speak in defense of traditional marriage are intolerant and offensive. While we may not agree on every issue, we should show respect for others’ opinions and not try to silence them through vicious and mean-spirited attacks.
“With that in mind, I will continue to support and defend marriage as the honorable institution it is. I will continue to stand with the overwhelming majority of the American people and the voters of my home state of California. If this whole experience has taught me anything, it is our precious right to speak freely, and how we as Americans can never allow anyone or any group to intimidate or threaten us to keep silent.”
Take a look at the Carrie Prejean pictures and tell us if you think they are even that racy. Give us your opinions.
