Carrie Prejean Had ‘No Idea’ She Was Fired
There’s never really a good or easy way to be fired, but to find out from ‘Access Hollywood’ host Billy Bush has to sting a little more than usual.
That’s exactly how former Miss California Carrie Prejean found out that she could no longer wear the state tiara. When Bush told her that the news of her firing had been confirmed, Prejean told him “that’s the first that I know about that, Billy.”
She went on to say that she,
“just got a phone call from you [Bush] and I’ve gotten some text messages saying ‘Hey, is this really true?’ and I said, ‘True about what?’ and they said, ‘That you’ve been fired.’ And I started to laugh because everyone’s been cooperating and everyone’s been getting along so well. This is the first that I’ve heard of it. This is funny to me. I have no idea what’s going on.”
Prejean’s reign as Miss California ended abruptly on Wednesday, as the Miss California USA organization cited “breach of contract issues,” for her demise. They elaborated further, saying in a statement that Prejean was booted thanks to,
“contract violations including Ms. Prejean’s unwillingness to make appearances on behalf of the Miss California USA organization.”
Taking her place as Miss California is the state’s runner-up, Miss Malibu Tami Farrell.
