RANCHO SANTA FE, CA - Carrie Prejean’s attorney, Charles S. LiMandri announced today that the former Miss California USA is filing a complaint in the Superior Court of California against Miss California USA officials Keith Lewis and Shanna Moakler, and publicist Roger Neal. The complaint cites damages to Miss Prejean including libel, public disclosure of private facts, religious discrimination, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and negligent infliction of emotional distress.
Miss Prejean was fired from her role as Miss California USA in June of this year, following several months of controversy over her answer at the Miss USA pageant regarding same-sex marriage. Lewis claimed Miss Prejean’s termination was due to a violation of contract. Miss Prejean’s complaint will refute that allegation, and demonstrate that both the chronology and factual evidence clearly show she lived up to all her contractual obligations, but was fired, harassed and publicly attacked solely due to her religious beliefs.

Good!
Isn’t that the truth? I hope she wins and wins big.
We have rules here!
Don’t get mad - just take their money. Good for you Carrie.
Ironically, the verdict would be GUILTY!.
“...brass uterus.”
Ouch.
Good, indeed. I was favorably impressed every time I heard anything from her. And the comment for which she was crucified was actually very measured and moderate.
I loved it when she said she was “biblically correct, not politically correct”
Fantastic!

Perhaps she'll "trump" Trump with his smarmy, behind-the-scene, cowardly tactics.
Excellent!
Way to go Carrie!!
Good. Injustice was done to her and must be corrected. Perhaps transferring some money to a deserving person will right the injustice.
She needs to sue that little twerp Perez Hilton as well.
I would love to see him hit with a huge judgment that would bankrupt him.
