Former Miss California USA Carrie Prejean is busy making trouble again. She’s suing pageant officials for libel, slander and religious discrimination, accusing them of telling her to stop mentioning God even before her controversial remarks against gay marriage.
Prejean was fired in June by pageant officials who said she missed several scheduled appearances.
The former beauty queen filed suit against California pageant executive director Keith Lewis and actress and former Miss USA Shanna Moakler, who was a co-director before resigning in protest of Prejean.
The former Miss California’s lawyer, Chuck LiMandri, said the officials’ claim Prejean was MIA is untrue and that the real cause of her ousting were the controversial remarks in April during the Miss USA pageant that marriage should be between a man and a woman.
LiMandri said Prejean filed suit only after he sought detailed information on what events Prejean missed.
“I wanted to give them every opportunity to provide the basis for those claims,” LiMandri said.
He said he found no proof that Prejean missed events. “There were no contract violations,” he said.
