Beauty Queen Showdown -- Rees vs. Prejean!

Posted on May 12, 2009

katie rees is angry carrie prejean is keeping her crown

Former Miss Nevada USA Katie Rees has a bone to pick with Carrie Prejean and Donald Trump!

Rees is furious that Prejean gets to keep her crown, despite Prejean's having racy pix posing topless leaked to the press. "An accurate word to describe me is irate," Rees told "Extra."

In 2006, Katie was stripped of her title of Miss Nevada USA after risqué pictures surfaced of the then 17-year-old party girl exposing herself. Now, Rees is peeved that the same rules don't apply to Carrie -- and she's aiming her anger at Miss Universe owner Donald Trump.

"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," Katie told "Extra," adding, "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."

Carrie isn't the first beauty queen to stir up controversy. Miss USA Tara Conner made headlines when reports claimed she had been drinking underage and used cocaine. Trump allowed Tara to keep her crown as long as she entered rehab, which she did.

Now, Rees tells "Extra" her own crown was unrightfully taken away. "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... fhese 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."

Rees confirmed to "Extra" that she is considering legal action. "Well, what would you do? I am speaking with my lawyer right now."

Despite Rees' anger that Carrie gets to keep her crown, she has a piece of advice for the reigning Miss California: "Stay strong. Keep your head up... I wish her all the best."

What do you think? Should Carrie have kept her crown? Vote now!

Katie Rees’ photos are described as this (from extra): ‘The photos are explicit, showing Katie in topless poses and performing explicit acts on another girl’. The photos of Ms. Prejean are specifically advertising for lingerie. These photos are not MEANT to be risqué; Rees’ photos CLEARLY are for that purpose. If she can’t see the difference, and if she can’t know that she probably doesn’t have a leg to stand on, then she’s even dumber than she looks.

It amazes me more everyday how far back we have gone as a nation, when someone can stand for what they believe in and get bashed like miss California has, it blows my mind. the gay community says those of us that believe in such things are hostile, I’m not sure if anyone has heard some of the comments that came from the gay community in regard to this issue but they are as hateful, discriminating and pointless as you can get. Nice job gay community.

A Queen sets exsamples. espically to our childern. if she would of had a shirt on she would not have to worry about the wind. She needs to show that she was raised with the same teaching of marrige between man and woman. I agree.At the same time the parents that teach that it would seem they would teach not togo out fully dressed.

She was asked a question - she gave her opinion — why is she getting crucified because you didn’t like her answer Hilton? Straight people have as much right to feel a certain way as you do and she was most courteous about it. And we have as much right to speak a feeling as you do and not get crucified if you don’t like our answers . Who is wrong here ????

Okay, she should TOTALLY and ABSOLUTELY keep her crown. I mean really- Miley Cyrus, Ashlee Tisdale, and Vanessa Hudgens- all had nude pics. They kept their jobs didn’t they? Yes they did. So, I’m on Ms.California’s side!

i hate u

I believe she (Prejean) should keep her crown. It’s not like she posed for Playboy’s centerfold. Although they’ll probably be contacting her next. I’m interested to see how this plays out.

Although Carrie’s opinion isn’t the popular one, doesn’t she have the same right as Perez Hilton?
Who is he anyway?
