Miss Nevada Is Pissed!!!
Tuesday, May 12th, 2009Hey, remember Katie Rees, the Miss Nevada 2006 who lost her crown after some sexy-style photos of her surfaced? And then was later arrested for assaulting a police officer? Well, she’s kind of annoyed that Carrie Prejean got to keep her crown and she didn’t.
“An accurate word to describe me is irate,” she said. “No matter what the stipulations are with the pictures, if you’re semi-nude, you’re semi-nude and it says so in the contract. Prejean broke the contact … she should’ve had her crown taken away just like mine … for her crown not to be taken away is absolutely outrageous. The fact is Carrie purposely posed nude for these pictures… I did not. I was a teenager who accidentally was out having a good time with her girlfriends and was unguarded. Tara Conner broke her contract for drug use… These girls get to keep their crown and I’m the one who’s exploited. I just wonder if Mr. Trump knows what he put me through — what I’ve gone through these past two years.”
Well, for starters, Katie’s right. There’s definitely a double standard in place here, and at the heart of it, it’s all about the pageant getting attention and ratings. These girls are just pawns — albeit pawns who went into this voluntarily. Katie says she’s speaking with her lawyer about it now, which I guess makes sense, but something tells me that the last thing this girl needs is to encourage her anger. Maybe consider accepting it and moving on, Katie? Before you try to beat up another cop?
Oh, and if you haven’t heard Carrie Prejean’s little speech this morning, it’s below. I got to the part where she thanks the Miss California organization “for their support, thus forward. ‘Thus forward’ is totally the new ’such as.’ Seriously that was like 15 seconds in and I couldn’t watch it any further. Why would anyone care what this woman thinks about anything? She barely speaks her primary language!
Rather than making these girls answer questions about the legitimacy of same-sex marriage, maybe next year we could just have a spelling bee? I’d so watch that.
