Miss California Christina Silva Files Lawsuit
Christina Silva was crowned Miss California, only to be told three days later that it was a mistake.
Now Silva has filed a lawsuit against the pageant — claiming a long list of damages.
Don’t mess with a pissed-off beauty queen!
TMZ reports,
In the suit, filed today [see documents] in Los Angeles County Superior Court, Silva is seeking $500,000 in damages for “public humiliation, mental anguish and distress, lost opportunities, lost prizes and lost monies.”
Silva was crowned Miss California on November 25, 2007. Three days later, she says, she was called for a meeting at the pageant director’s home when they dropped a bomb — there had been a mistake, she was not the winner, and they yanked her crown!
Silva, who is of Ecuadoran and Mexican descent, claims that the pageant director never liked her and was looking for an “‘all-American girl’ to win, and not looking to crown another person of color.” For the record, the f*** up has been blamed on human error.
The reigning Miss California, Raquel Beezley, is one-quarter Filipino. She’s in Vegas now gearing up to compete for the title of Miss USA.
The pageant airs on NBC tomorrow night.

That really is quite traumatic, I think. They should just let her keep the crown anyway, we don’t need all the fuss, esp. the ‘is it racism’ crap.
