Passing the Cups: California Pageant Seeks Reimbursement for Prejean’s Augmentation Surgery

150px-CarriePrejeanByPhilKonstantinNow, this is some pretty vicious litigation. Miss California USA officials want Carrie Prejean to give back the $5,200 that they say she borrowed to have her breasts augmented last year. Prejean is suing the pageant in a lawsuit that includes a privacy violation related to the disclosure of the augmentation.

The lawyers for the pageant insist that the truth over Prejean’s procedure “ceased being private during the swimsuit competition of the nationally televised Miss USA pageant, in which Ms. Prejean walked the stage in a bikini.”

They are seeking money from any profits from Prejean’s book due out next month, which they claim was written in violation of her pageant contract. They promise to donate the proceeds to charity — presumably to pay for augmentation for the impoverished.

Also notable in the filing is the incorporation of Biblical authority: “[Prejean] attempts to cast herself as a virtuous young woman and the victim in a supposed conspiracy against her. Had she heeded the guidance of the Gospel of John, who admonished only those who are without sin to cast stones in judgment, she might have avoided this legal battle — which will ultimately reveal the hypocrisy of Carrie Prejean.”

    Carrie Prejean: The Bible Allows Breast Implants, My Hairdresser Is Gay

    “Carrie Prejean is just carrying out God’s plan, she tells Christianity Today in an interview that fails to address her solo sex tape–the topic that nearly caused her to walk off ‘Larry King Live’ Wednesday night.

    She also answers a question about her topless photos by discussing a need for Christians to unite against the Enemy and says she can’t be homophobic because she lives in California and has gay hairdressers. Then she breaks down her conversion time line in a way that refutes her ex-boyfriend’s claim that she sent him the masturbation tape when she was 20, not 17 as she has stated. Here are some highlights:”

  2. There is common opinion that the lawyers’ use of the Prejean tape is blackmail.

    Can a legal expert explain how, in this instance, blackmail has not occurred?

    Now you know why Silicon Valley is in California. There are so many well-developed, fair-haired semiconductors out there.

  6. Check it off FFLEO, mountains out of mole hills was the phrase that pays. (see the wordpress cashier on your way out.)

  7. They have agreed that it is breast to settle out of court….

  8. This whole episode has driven me into the electronic arms of my new favorite TLC reality show: “King of the Crown.” Our host is Cyrus Frakes, a South Carolina pageant Queen-maker, and the proprietor of the swanky “Crowns & Gowns” boutique. His specialty is making pageant queens and the process is fascinating. He even trained my favorite pageant contestant, Miss South Carolina, of the famous “I personally believe US-Americans are unable to …” answer. I recommend it to anyone foreign to this make-believe world of stage moms, fake chests, and canned answers to profound questions. No ridicule intended, it’s just great and that pageant instructor, Amanda Helen Pennekamp … hubba, hubba.
