File this one under "eye roll" but the shamed ex Miss California, Carrie Prejean, is suing the peeps behind the Miss California pageant for "religious discrimination." In her suit, Carrie says the Miss California pageant officials "fabricated a fraudulent list of some 50 public appearances allegedly missed by Prejean which they released to the media in order to justify her termination as Miss California USA."
Prejean was terminated from her role as Miss California after she had apparently broken her contract by not fulfilling her obligations. Prejean failed to make over thirty appearances she was obligated to make for the pageant organization and reportedly treated pageant staff like crap. At the time, executive director Keith Lewis said that her firing had nothing to do with her "opposite marriage" (see: religious) beliefs and everything to do with broken contractual obligations.
Apparently, Preajean was so rude to staff, even The Donald had issues with her. He said, "To me she was the sweetest thing. Everyone else — she treated like shit."
For her side of the suit, Prejean claims the Miss Cali people "conspired to get rid of her" when she told the Today Show that she would rather be "biblically correct than politically correct." TMZ reports that Prejean also claims officials tried to "set up Prejean to have her dismissed as Miss California USA by asking her to do a Playboy photo shoot for $120,000."
Shanna Moakler along with Keith Lewis are named in the lawuit. Moakler just sent out the following statement: "Ms. Moakler has not yet been served with Carrie Prejean's lawsuit. However, on Ms. Moakler's behalf, I can say unequivocally that Ms. Prejean's lawsuit is without merit. More importantly, as everyone who watched or read her public statements is well aware, Ms. Prejean's unfortunate and bigoted statements are responsible for any public humiliation or damages to her reputation that she has claimed to have suffered. Ms. Moakler strenuously denies that she did anything wrong and looks forward to proving that in a court of law."
