Oh, what a tangled web we weave…when first we leave a big ole electronic trail of evidence showing that we are kind of a huge pain in the ass.
While Carrie Prejean continues to claim she was fired from her position as Miss California USA due to her outspoken politics and position on same-sex marriage, a series of email exchanges published by Fox News (fair and balanced!) allegedly show an increasingly hostile Prejean corresponding with Miss California director Keith Lewis, and giving credence to pageant officials’ claims that she was disrespectful and uncooperative.
Wrote Prejean to Lewis: “I expect you to be forwarding me ALL email requests and interview requests to me. I know how you are and it’s not right if you are selecting things for me. Thanks for your cooperation. And fyi I am a presenter of medals at the special olympics in a few weeks for the summer games. So now u know I am doing this and I expect your full support. Also I was asked to fill in for a dj on a local radio show.. Ill be reading from a show biz script monday. I am doing this.”
When Lewis reiterates politely that she needs to go through proper protoctol and provide details so that events can be placed on a master calendar, Prejean responded: “You do not cooperate with me, and you pick and chose the things YOU want me to do. That is not happening anymore. Stop speaking for me. I have MY own voice. What are u gonna do fire me for volunteering for the special olympics hahaha ur crazy No I am doing this appearance. You do not need details. Its for the SPECIAL OLYMPICS!!! You just need to know I will be doing it alright.”
Honestly, she sounds like pretty much any 22-year-old (or perhaps tween) chafing at the rules and requirements of big, bossy grown-ups. But memo to Carrie: You’re a pageant queen. Under Donald Trump. Not Che Guevara in a bikini, attempting to overthrow a hostile government through sheer force of will and some great separates from Bebe.
Maybe I’m being too hard on her, Popwatchers, but doesn’t it seem that Prejean should have been more aware of the job requirements before accepting the crown? Or will the new spokeswoman for opposite employment not be down for long? Maybe getting fired — and its attendant publicity blitz — is what she hoped for all along?
If that lowbrow half-wit hadn’t won Trump’s cattle call in the first place, no one would be paying her any attention. Enough said. Moving on.
I would have fired her for not using proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling in a supposedly professional e-mail.
“Lowbrow half-wit” who won a “cattle call?” I think you want the Palin posting room, Snarf.
“Opposite employment” = brilliant.
I also completely agree with Beth. I get that she’s 22, but you can’t go all caps, “u” instead of “you” AND triple exclamation points in a professional email.
Finally, thanks for the classic, “What are u gonna do fire me…”? Apparently, the answer is yes.
I think these were heavily edited. Where’s the part where she asks for an oompa-loompa?
Hurrah for Ms. Prejean. She has been vilely used and abused by Donald Chump. First, he hires a misogynist judge, perhaps to cause the controversy that would garner publicity. Then he announces he will rehire the judge after he calls Ms. Prejean names. Then he watches while Hollywood’s “liberal” heterophobes tee off on Ms. Prejean, and his pageant sends her off to smeared by the out-of-control homosexual community. Shame on Donald Chump. Shame on organisations like N.O.W. for not defending her. Shame on all of us for giving Donald Chump any publicity at all.
What a brat! Thanks for putting this out there!
As far as I’ve seen, she has done nothing but degrade her own reputation the entire time she’s been in the limelight. These emails make her seem like the shallow, dumb, blond Californian beauty queen she appears to be.
Giving further credence to Fox on fair and balanced, they also reported how this bimbo was canned from her earlier modeling contract (which prompted her to then enter Miss CA) because of her unprofessional behavior. Just proves how the homophobia angle is a red herring in all this; the reality is that she is nothing but a diva bimbo.
It’s always sad when cousins mate.
Wow. Isn’t she a college student/graduate? I would hope she would know how to write a full and proper sentence, but maybe that’s asking too much of one of my peers.
It’s obvious from this e-mail, not to mention her unintelligent response at the Miss USA pageant, that this young woman is, at the very best, immature and the worst, just not very bright.
Elizabeth, I don’t intend to bash Christians since I am one, but she did attend a Christian university. I don’t think real learning goes on in a lot of those places. I think they use Noah’s Ark as an example of how to count to 2 or something like that.
Please God… isn’t her 15 minutes up yet?
Really, who cares?
