Carrie Prejean sex tape scandal is setting the media on fire — the tape may have had an influence in the beauty queen’s early settlement, but she is still walking away empty handed.
All’s quiet in the courtroom after both sides in the K2 Productions versus Carrie Prejean court battle mysteriously came to a standstill.
Seemingly overnight both counterclaims were dropped, and now TMZ is reporting it may be due to a scandalous video the Miss California Pageant had featuring Carrie Prejean.
The erstwhile Miss California lost her crown after K2 Productions, the producer of the pageant, said Prejean had failed to make official appearances on behalf of the pageant and claimed breach of contract. Prejean contended that she was dropped from the title due to anti-gay marriage statements she had made to the media, and sued, to which K2 countersued that Prejean now also owed the company for the breast implants they gave her money to get.
Now celebrity site TMZ is reporting that Prejean is dropping her one million dollar settlement after a lawyer for the other side showing Prejean engaged in racy sex acts. Prejean will receive a $100,000 settlement for attorney and publicist fees, but that’s it.
“We are moving forward from the past and looking towards the crowning of two winners and the new look of the upcoming Miss California USA pageant, telecast live on Nov. 22,” said Lewis Moakler, executive director of the pageant.
Prejean’s book, Still Standing: The Untold Story of My Fight Against Gossip, Hate, and Political Attacks comes out Monday.
