Miss California, Carrie Prejean, loses her crown as Miss California for contract violations. A month ago, Donald Trump, the owner of Miss USA pageant, defended her and said she can still keep her crown despite her controversial topless photos, missed appointments, or her statement against same-sex marriage. On Wednesday, June 10, 2009, she was fired not because of those reasons but because of slacking off.

According to FoxNews.com, K2 Productions, the independent producers of the Miss California USA pageant, under license from Miss Universe, stated that breached of contract was the reason why she was fired.

“This was a decision based solely on contract violations,” Keith Lewis, executive director of K2 Productions, said in the release. “After our press conference in New York we had hoped we would be able to forge a better working relationship. However, since that time it has become abundantly clear that Carrie has no desire to fulfill her obligations under our contract and work together.”

Furthermore, FoxNews.com learned that it was Donald Trump himself who gave the final word to fire her.

“I told Carrie she needed to get back to work and honor her contract with the Miss California Organization and I gave her the opportunity to do so,” Trump said in the same release. “Unfortunately it just doesn’t look like it is going to happen and I offered Keith my full support in making this decision.

“Carrie is a beautiful young woman, and I wish her well as she pursues her other interests,” Trump said.

With Carrie being dethroned, Miss Malibu and First Runner-up Tami Farrell, will assume the title of Miss California. Also, since Carrie Prejean failed to make appearances on behalf of the pageant, the Miss Universe Organization will make the reigning Miss USA, Kristen Dalton, and Miss Universe, Dayana Mendoza, available to K2 Productions.
