Almost 30 days ago, Donald Trump stated that Carrie Prejean, the Miss California who gave a controversial answer regarding same sex marriage – as well as experienced semi-nude photos being released, is no longer Miss California.
Why? Breach of Contract.
Here is what the Miss California USA pageant has to say:
“This was a decision based solely on contract violations,” Keith Lewis, executive director of K2 Productions, said in the release. “After our press conference in New York we had hoped we would be able to forge a better working relationship. However, since that time it has become abundantly clear that Carrie has no desire to fulfill her obligations under our contract and work together.”
And Trump says:
“I told Carrie she needed to get back to work and honor her contract with the Miss California Organization and I gave her the opportunity to do so,” Trump said in the same release. “Unfortunately it just doesn’t look like it is going to happen and I offered Keith my full support in making this decision.”
Interesting that the story fails to mention why they believe she was in breach of contract. Well, thedirty.com has a potential exclusive as to why she got cut:
1) Carrie was unavailable for the pageant organized interviews. She committed to only 1 of the 17 interviews that were scheduled. Sadly, the pageant had pitched 46 different entities for press interviews with Carrie but only 17 agreed. The others refused because of the controversy that Carrie was embroiled in.
2) The main sponsors for Miss California USA sent letters to the organization claiming that they will no longer sponsor the pageant because of the controversy that Carrie had caused. Her statements against gay marriage and rights and the lies regarding images of her had appalled the sponsors and their clients.
3) The costs for the organization to deal with the controversies caused by Carrie far outweighed the revenues they could possibly ever recoup from her representation. These costs were primarily legal fees including notifying Carrie of her multiple contract breaches as well as the public relations costs for the unremitting damage control.
When you play in the big leagues be ready for the other team to bring the heat, Carrie. Speaking your mind is one thing, but if you truly did not meet the terms of your contract what did you expect to happen?
