Miss Calif. to learn whether she’ll keep crown
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — The Miss California USA pageant is expected to announce its decision over whether Carrie Prejean should keep her state crown amid allegations of contract violations.
The pageant has been investigating whether the 21-year-old San Diego native violated her contract by making public appearances with groups opposed to same-sex marriage. Prejean also failed to reveal to organizers that she posed in her underwear as a teenager.
Pageant organizers have scheduled a news conference on the matter for later Monday. There’s no word on whether Miss USA contest owner Donald Trump will disqualify Prejean as first runner-up in the national contest.
The state pageant’s runner-up, Tami Farrell, is expected to attend the news conference.
