Keith Lewis, Executive Director of the Miss California organization, got his way yesterday with the firing of Miss California ( and Miss USA first runner-up ) Carrie Prejean. The reason as explained to the media was because she refused “to make appearances on behalf of the Miss California USA organization”. But if you’ve been following the story, I think you really know what this is all about…she was fired for embarrassing organization officials in the Miss USA pageant by stating her preference for marriage to be between one man and one woman. This was in answer to a blind-side question by that most-flaming Perez Hilton, who (WHY ???) was a pageant judge.
In addition, she filled in as a co-host on the morning newscast of “Fox and Friends”, which would be akin to tying gays to a fence and beating them to death in the eyes of pageant organizers. Miss Prejean, in a radio interview with Sean Hannety on June 11th stated that she was offered an opportunity to join the reality show cast of “I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here” OR pose for some risqué photos for PLAYBOY…both offers (not “requirements”) she chose to decline.
“Reality shows are just not my thing” stated Prejean”, and she felt the PLAYBOY offer was not in the best interests of the Miss California organization. Other than that, she had complied with every request made to her. In a published statement made today, Prejean said "I have met every scheduled appearance, and responsibility, as recently as May 31st. I have followed the proper protocol requested of me and haven't made any appearances or speaking engagements without the consent or approval from the Miss California USA or Miss Universe Organizations. I have not signed with any book publisher or taken on any business proposals. As of today, June 11, 2009, I have done everything possible to honor my contract."
But Keith Lewis just HAD to hit the morning talk-show circuit with this to say about the “tens and tens and tens” of appearances she missed…(who talks this way ? FLAMING !!!)
"She was unavailable. She didn't want to make them. She was just really difficult to work with. She didn't want to make any appearances in Hollywood. It was a combative relationship."
As it turns out, Miss Prejean has been more than willing to stand for her beliefs. And while she may not be Miss California anymore, she clearly has bigger and better BALLS than Keith Lewis, Donald Trump, Perez Hilton or any other Hollywood flamer.
