Former Miss USA runnerup Carrie Prejean is firing back at California pageant officials with a lawsuit that claims the state organization discriminated against her religious beliefs, caused her emotional distress and engaged in slander, her lawyer confirmed to FOXNews.com Monday.
The 22-year-old beauty queen filed a complaint Monday morning in Los Angeles Superior Court against K2 Productions (the franchise that operates the Miss California Organization) as well as co-executive directors Keith Lewis and Shanna Moakler and publicist Roger Neal.
Prejean lost her crown three months ago for what state pageant officials claimed was a “breach of contract” and failure to attend scheduled appearances.
"If Carrie had not answered the question in support of traditional marriage ... she would most certainly still be Miss California,” Prejean’s attorney Charles S Limandri told Foxnews.com. “Over the past two months we have worked hard to provide overwhelming evidence that Carrie Prejean did not violate her contract with Miss California USA and did not deserve to have her title revoked by Keith Lewis. We will make the case that her title was taken from her solely because of her support of traditional marriage. She did not want to sue, but people need to know the truth.”
The suit alleges that Lewis’ assistant emailed Prejean before the Miss USA pageant with instructions not to reference God in her Miss USA applications. The suit also alleges that after her controversial answer at the national pageant in April, Lewis told Prejean's mother that her daughter was not to attend the after-party (despite being first runner-up) as “too many people were angry with her.”

and made her more famous than, you guessed it, Miss USA.
I still can not believe that “gay” Perez can go online calling her a stupid F’n Bi#ch and have no ramifications...you go girl...Prejean, that is!
Without looking it up, please tell us the name of "Miss USA 2009", and what State she represents.
Why is that an important question to answer?
Can you tell me her eye coloer without looking it up?
;-)
coloer = color ;-)
That's easy. They're eye colored.
She must have really nice eyes ... you got all choked up and distracted thinking about them.
I had to, ahem, look again.
Her eyes are hazel/ green.
TTIUWP
I want to opposite marry her.
Better than that, quick tell me the name of the runner up who took Carrie’s place as Miss California. I can’t remember but I sure as heck remember Carrie Prejean’s name.:)
Perez got punched by will.i.am. Karma is sweet isn’t it.
