Miss California:
Racy Pics Trying to "Undermine My Reputation"
Racy photos of Miss California Carrie Prejean have popped up on the Internet -- and she says it's an attempt to humiliate her because of her anti-gay marriage views.
"On April 19, I chose to answer a question during the 2009 Miss USA pageant in an honest and personal manner that expressed my views of the long-established definition of marriage as being between a man and a woman," Prejean, 21, said in a statement Tuesday. "Yet my comments defending traditional marriage have led to intimidation tactics that seek to undermine my reputation and somehow silence me and my beliefs, as if opinion is only a one-way street."
One leaked shot shows Prejean wearing nothing but undies and covering her breast. Prejean insisted the pics are just modeling shots.
"I am a Christian, and I am a model," she said. "Models pose for pictures, including lingerie and swimwear photos."
"I am a Christian, and I am a model," she said. "Models pose for pictures, including lingerie and swimwear photos."
She added that the shots, taken of her as a teenager, were "released surreptitiously to a tabloid Web site that openly mocks me for my Christian faith."
"I am not perfect, and I will never claim to be," she went on. "But these attacks on me and others who speak in defense of traditional marriage are intolerant and offensive. While we may not agree on every issue, we should show respect for others' opinions and not try to silence them through vicious and mean-spirited attacks."
Despite the controversy, she said she "will continue to support and defend marriage as the honorable institution it is. I will continue to stand with the overwhelming majority of the American people and the voters of my home state of California."
"If this whole experience has taught me anything," she concluded, "it is our precious right to speak freely, and how we as Americans can never allow anyone or any group to intimidate or threaten us to keep silent."
THRILL says:
I totally saw this coming. Miss CA is living the Matthew 10:22 verse to the extreme right now. Of course they're trying to "undermine her reputation". Society hates everything America stands for! During the 2009 Miss USA pageant, she was asked for her own view on marriage. She gave it. Now, those who did not like her answer are good-old-fashioned-hating on her because of her stance on the meaning of marriage.
I love how the associated press chooses it's wording to describe the photos of Carrie Prejean "wearing nothing but undies and covering her breasts". Give me a freakin' break. They ARE modeling pictures. I've seen raunchier images in the Pennysaver.
If you'd like to see the, what I call boring, pictures, message me and I'll send you a copy.
This is nothing but a cheap attack on Miss CA for obviously her being a Christian. It is amazing how Christians, and all things Godly, is attacked, dispised, made fun of, degraded, and dismissed. It's offensive to offend anyone else, but let's all silently, or violently remove and slander the Christian Nation this IS.
Yes... this is a Christian Nation. America is a Nation Under God. If you don't like that, get the hell out of here. If you wish to visit, or temporarily reside here, you may... but keep your ass in line by not being disrespectful to God fearing Americans.
Miss CA is absolutely right. She will represent the MAJORITY, who WON the Yes On 8!, and define marriage as being between a man and a woman.
I PRAY that Miss CA will continue to represent Christ and not give in to making the wicked hearts of mankind happy. Carrie, please don't give in... like when Eharmony lost it's balls because it didn't want to start any controversy... typical of weak Christians.
I colored Miss CA's words in blue so yall can read it better. She defends herself well. Miss California Carrie Prejean is a true Christian and Patriot to the United States of America.
God Bless Her.
P.S.- I don't care if she got boob implants or not. Who am I to unrighteously judge her. Hell, I'd get a penis enlargement if I had the money and safe technology.
Moving On...
Pageant PR rep accuses Miss California of lying
By LISA LEFF, Associated Press Writer
SAN FRANCISCO – A spokesman for the Miss California pageant on Monday denied that contest officials told the reigning beauty queen to publicly apologize for her statement opposing same-sex marriage during the Miss USA pageant.
Carrie Prejean, 21, claimed during Sunday services at her San Diego church that producers of the state pageant told her to apologize to the gay community and to avoid mentioning religion when she appeared last week on the "Today" show and other national programs.
But San Diego public relations representative Roger Neal, who said he was one of the people advising her, called those claims lies. Contest officials urged Prejean only to reiterate that she didn't mean to offend anyone and to use the national spotlight "to heal some wounds," he said.
"She chose to stand up in church and in front of the media and say something that was a lie," Neal said. "No one ever said, 'You must apologize to the gay community,' and no one ever said, 'Don't talk about your faith or your religion.' Those two things never came out of anybody's mouth."
Prejean didn't immediately return a call from The Associated Press on Monday.
During her appearances at the Rock Church in San Diego, she said she turned to her pastor there for comfort and counsel after she was criticized for saying during the Miss USA pageant that she thought marriage should only be between a man and a woman.
Keith Lewis, a Los Angeles talent agent and gay activist who runs the Miss California pageant, also issued a statement expressing dismay with Prejean and concern about her ability to carry out her duties during the remainder of her rein.
"Given the fact that Carrie Prejean's first act upon returning to California was to headline five services at a church that promotes homosexuality as both unnatural and abnormal, we stand by our concern for her individual image and look forward to a time in the near future when she can put down her personal agenda" and resume her responsibilities as Miss California.
THRILL Responds:
This article makes me want to vomit! Of course contest officials told Miss CA to apologize for the answer she gave at the pageant. This ought to anger anyone who believes in equality or righteousness. One of those advisers, Roger Neal, is just trying to cover his ass because Miss CA went public*. He did say contest officials wanted Miss CA to "reiterate that she didn't mean to offend anyone." WHY DOES SHE HAVE TO REITERATE ANYTHING?!?!?!?
CAN ANYONE GIVE ME A REASON WHY SHE NEEDS TO? Even when she gave her answer at the pageant, she added the words, "no offense" to her statement. If anyone out there expects her to restate that, those same people MUST admit that they are retarded, or don't speak English.
Roger Neal, you're a coward. Quit trying to save your ass. You probably live in some huge house with Diva switches, with a smoking hot wife that's spending your money and banging a guy like me... quit trying to bring honest and righteous people like Miss CA down to your pathetic level! You ought to be ashamed of yourself!
All you "adults" that put men like Roger Neal in supervisory positions like that... what the hell is a matter with you. I'm ashamed to consider myself an adult. In fact, I never will consider myself an adult because ~you adults are doing a real fine damn job of running this world: I say as I role my eyes.
Keith Lewis: ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!! She IS fully acting out her responsibilities as Miss CA! Being the Miss California here, IS her personal agenda! To say that she is not carrying out her duties as Miss CA is ludacris.

On a personal note, I'm sure that there are Christians that don't like Carrie Prejean. I think yall are dumb. I've been fighting for God for over a decade. I've lost family members, fiancees, careers, money, dreams, and physical health all for trying to represent God. I've probably failed at that task. One day, God might face me and say I've done nothing for Him.
"over a decade"
Yet, in one evening broadcast on national television, 2009 Miss California Carrie Prejean does her duties as a representative of Christ and honor of what a real American Woman is.
So based on all this, when I compare myself to Miss CA, she's got a better chance of entering the gates of Heaven than I do.
Matthew 10: 32+33 documents Jesus saying, " Therefore, whoever confesses me before Men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven. But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven. "
In this April 26, 2009 file photo, Miss California, Carrie Prejean, waves as she comes on stage at the Rock Church during services in San Diego. PreJean said she'll be working with the National Organization for Marriage to 'protect traditional marriages. In recent weeks, Vermont and Iowa have legalized same-sex marriage while New York, Maine and New Hampshire have taken steps in that direction.
