Carrie Prejean's lawyer gave Miss California USA executive director Keith Lewis what he said was a final warning to retract statements made about the former beauty queen or face a defamation lawsuit.
Prejean, stripped of the Miss California USA title last week, "suffered severe emotional distress" and her reputation was harmed by Lewis, Charles LiMandri said in a letter sent Thursday to Lewis' lawyer.
LiMandri's letter also accused Lewis, whom he referred to as a "gay activist," of setting Prejean up to be fired because of her statements opposing same-sex marriage.
When Prejean, 22, was dethroned, Lewis said it was for "contract violations," including missed public appearances.
He told CNN's Larry King last week that it wasn't one thing Prejean did, but "many, many, many things."

This case is a fricking slam dunk for discrimination and wrongful firing. I hope she sues.

I'd say it depends on jury demographics, although it should be a slam-dunk.
I think that a severe beating is in order.
Trump is going to regret backing this scummy little Gaystapo tool. She is going to successfully sue them both into oblivion.
Yes, there should be no threat about it. Sue all the leftists!
Whew! Viewing those photos gives me emotional distress!
In response to the letter, Lewis issued a statement that said: "Mr. LiMandri obviously has never watched 'The Apprentice' if he believes that Mr. Trump could be so easily fooled. Facts are facts, and we stand by them."
Lewis seems to be dumping reponsibility for this fiasco onto Trump. It's a good indication that he knows he's on shaky ground.
