Carrie Prejean on Larry King Live
NEW YORK (CBS) Former Miss California USA Carrie Prejean made a short but dramatic appearance on Larry King Live Wednesday in which she refused to answer an openly gay caller and threatened to walk off the show after King asked questions about the role a sex tape may have played in a lawsuit settlement.
"You sued the pageant after they fired you, they countersued, and then you accused them of a number of things including religious discrimination, clearly an issue important to you," King asked. "Why did you settle? You don't have to tell me the terms of the settlement, but why settle since you had a fight to carry on? "
As you may recall, earlier in the year Donald Trump initially supported the former Miss California, only to fire her later. source CBS.com
Carrie Prejean just ran out of second chances.
The embattled Miss California, a controversy-magnet for her outspoken opposition to gay marriage, has been forced to turn over her tiara after ticking off Donald Trump one time too many.
In a just-released statement, Trump and the Miss California USA Organization say that Prejean has been fired for violating her contract—specifically for lending her famous face to outside organizations without getting permission from her handlers.
"I told Carrie she needed to get back to work and honor her contract with the Miss California USA Organization, and I gave her the opportunity to do so," said Trump. "Unfortunately, it just doesn’t look like it is going to happen.
"Carrie is a beautiful young woman and I wish her well as she pursues her other interests." source eonline.com
Prejean was on Larry King to promote her new book, "Still Standing: The Untold Story of My Fight Against Gossip, Hate, and Political Attacks" source CBS.com
