Posted on Nov 10, 2009 @ 06:41PM - 14 comments
Carrie Prejean seems to have made an enemy of the one person who stood by her side, and that probably wasn’t a good idea. Although he eventually fired Carrie, Donald Trump had initially stood by her side after her answer on gay marriage at the Miss USA Pageant, but she managed to alienate him when she wrote in her book that he mistreated the contestants in the Miss USA Pageant.
Carrie Prejean Claims Pageant Director Pressured Her Into Boob Job
Paula Shugart, the President of The Miss Universe Organization told RadarOnline.com that “Carrie’s version of the truth and the facts are two very different things.” Shugart had multiple interactions with Carrie over the last year. “From my dealings with Carrie,” she said. “I simply do not understand how she could have any credibility in the public eye.”

Shugart continued “The reality is that Carrie wants to sell and promote her book by including Mr. Trump, but her account of what happened is inaccurate.” She also said that Carrie’s adamant stance about her beliefs were questionable. “Sadly, it appears that Carrie is frequently in error but never in doubt.”
"Carrie should be ashamed of herself,” Trump said on Tuesday.

In her book Still Standing Carrie lashes out at The Donald, saying that he came back stage before the Pageant competition and asked the contestants which girl they found “hot” and split the girls into two sides. “It became clear that the point of the whole exercise was for him to divide the room between girls he personally found attractive and those he did not,” Carrie wrote. She said that many of the girls found “this exercise humiliating,” and that some of them were sobbing back stage.

Trump responded to Extra, “Certainly I would never do a thing like that, because it would be too hurtful. I don't stand the ones that are less attractive to one side, and the beautiful ones on the other side. It was total nonsense — it was fiction in her imagination… I don't even know how she came up with an idea like that…She should not have written that in the book."

Carrie has continued to stir the controversy surrounding her by a nasty remark to President Obama too. Writing about her hysteria-making moment during the Miss USA pageant, Carrie says: "But like most Californians and a certain candidate for president from Illinois, I believed then and I believe now that marriage should be a legally recognized sacrament between a man and a woman. If that makes me a bigot, so is Barack Obama."

Writing about her hysteria-making moment during the Miss USA pageant, Carrie says: "But like most Californians and a certain candidate for president from Illinois, I believed then and I believe now that marriage should be a legally recognized sacrament between a man and a woman. If that makes me a bigot, so is Barack Obama."
(Note to Carrie: Don't expect an invitation to the White House any time soon.)

She continues in the book: "I was not then, nor am I now, aspiring to be the next Anita Bryant. I am comfortable with all God's children. Civil unions between gay people, at least as a matter of law, have always been fine with me. "If asked, I would have told you that I believed that gay couples should have visiting rights in the hospital, just like everybody else."

She also talks about pageant executive director Keith Lewis and her thoughts when she learned he was an openly gay man who lived with his long-term boyfriend.

"I soon learned that Keith was an openly gay activist who had been with his boyfriend for seven years. Despite the impression you might have of me from the more hysterical concerns of the mainstream media, I took in all this information without judgment. The fact of the matter is, I liked Keith. I think he took to me as his protégé," she added.

"I believe that the traditional definition of marriage should not be changed. By the same token, I am not bothered by the idea of gay people choosing to live their lives together as they see fit - just as Keith and his boyfriend did - just don't call it marriage.

In a more bizarre aside, she attempts to take apart the word homophobic: "If you ever get bored, look up 'homo' in the dictionary: it means 'man' as in Homo Sapiens or 'the same' as in homogenous, so to be 'homophobic' really means to be fearful of men, which I'm not, or fearful of things being the same, which is a fear I think few people have. 'Homophobic' is merely a made-up word to try to force everyone to be politically correct on gay marriage or risk being accused of being hateful."

“I work in pageants and I love a good fairy tale like anyone else. Unfortunately this is not one. This one doesn’t have a message.

Prejean then chronicles how Lewis went on the CBS Early Show after her controversial gay marriage comments during the Miss USA pageant to say the Miss California organization did not endorse or suggest breast implants. "We put to her a litany of questions about how she feels about herself, what she feels she needs to work on, what she may need to change, what is good, what is not good," Lewis has said on the show.
Prejean responded in her book: "Actually, the only thing Keith Lewis put to me were his two big hands and an insistent request, bordering on a demand, that I get breast implants."

"In my 26 years of practice I have never dealt with a situation like this," her attorney Charles Limandri told RadarOnline.com in an exclusive interview. RadarOnline.com is aware of the existence of a raunchy sex tape of Prejean that is being reported as the reason she settled the lawsuit. "It seems as if someone has acted in an unethical and unlawful manner by even raising this issue," said Limandri. "We are weighing our options and if this is a breach of contract we are considering suing for punitive damages."

"This is just the latest installment in K2 Production’s ongoing smear campaign against Carrie Prejean. They have proven, once again, that they will use whatever scurrilous accusations they can dredge up – or invent – to try and tarnish Carrie’s reputation and her good name. It is both appalling and pathetic to see K2 and their friends in Hollywood try to destroy this young woman simply for standing up for her beliefs."

It is the beauty battle that still has legs one year later. The Miss California Pageant has filed suit against former beauty queen Carrie Prejean, alleging she never paid them back for her surgery and tried to get the pageant director fired.
See The Court Papers Here and Here
"In January, 2009, Ms. Prejean and K2 Productions entered into an oral agreement whereby K2 Productions agreed to loan Ms. Prejean money to pay for breast augmentation surgery so that she (in her opinion) would be more competitive at the Miss USA 2009 pageant. Ms. Prejean agreed that she would repay the loan, and proceeded to have her desired breast augmentation surgery. The idea for Ms. Prejean to have the breast augmentation surgery came from Ms. Prejean herself, not from K2 Productions or the Miss Universe Organization," the papers said.

The papers also state that on June 4, 2009, Prejean e-mailed Miss Universe Organization President Paula Shugart in support of two of the show's producers taking over the organization. "And to add insult to injury, Ms. Prejean said her recommendation was 'Just from me to you' - obviously because she was not telling Mr. Lewis that she was seeking to have K2 Productions replaced as the Miss California USA franchise holder," the papers added.
