Miss California Carrie Prejean topless pictures are on the web, and could cost her the state crown. [UPDATE: A SECOND PHOTO HAS BEEN RELEASED]

In a photo posted on Thedirty.com, seen in part to the left, a tan brunette in pink underwear with her arms across her chest and her back to the camera, is seen smiling over her shoulder at the camera. But with the photo, Prejean may be in violation of her contract.

According to the AP:

Pageant spokesman Roger Neal said Tuesday it appears the 21-year-old Prejean has run afoul of several sections of the 12-page contract that prospective contestants were required to sign before competing in the state contest.


The contract contains a clause asking participants whether they have conducted themselves "in accordance with the highest ethical and moral standards" and if they've ever been photographed nude or partially nude.

Prejean has released a statement about the photo seen below, an implicit confirmation that this photo, and others reportedly being shopped around, are indeed of her. Her hair is brown and the photos are from before her pageant-funded breast implants.

The statement reads:

"My comments defending traditional marriage have led to intimidation tactics that seek to undermine my reputation and somehow silence me and my beliefs, as if opinion is only a one-way street.


"I am a Christian, and I am a model. Models pose for pictures, including lingerie and swimwear photos. Recently, photos taken of me as a teenager have been released surreptitiously to a tabloid website that openly mocks me for my Christian faith.

"I am not perfect, and I will never claim to be. But these attacks on me and others who speak in defense of traditional marriage are intolerant and offensive. While we may not agree on every issue, we should show respect for others' opinions and not try to silence them through vicious and mean-spirited attacks."

HA!

Bragging bible thumpers are always exempt (in their mind) from their hypocritic­al behavior as they throw stones at others in disgust and the spirit of unforgiven­ess.
11:03 PM on 05/15/2009
MsMadame .. exactly how is her behaviour hypocritic­al? If it is because she is a Christian, then you know absolutely nothing about Christiani­ty. I would say, if you are without sin, cast the first stone, but you wouldn't know what I was talking about.

Isn't it time we were done with beauty pageants? I mean really. Hey Trump! Stand for something besides bad hair and be done with it already. Fire Joan Rivers while you are at it -- she creeps me out.

OMG, WHO CARES?! The sad part to all this is that people and the media are once again paying more attention to a fluff story than the real issues at hand in this country. The picture of this "model" is no worse or more exposing thaN the TEENAGE MODELS SELLING UNDERWARE in the Sunday paper circulars.

As for gay marriage..­. again who cares? Marriage today as a matter of law is irrelevant because the values that comprise marriage are simply a matter to be argued and decided by lawyers and judges in court. The real problem in this country is the effect of legislativ­e decisions opposing the majority opinion. There are 300 million people in this country and if 200 million of them are against same sex marriage then end of story.

On the other side of that we need to consider the fact that at one time this country frowned upon and persecuted interracia­l marrige (and I do not mean this in "black and white"). The white man could not marry a Native American, The Italians couldn't marry the Jewish and god forbid a person of Irish decent marry . anyone who was not Irish.

And then we have our idolised heiress pop star Paris whos rise (pun intended) to fame was founded on home made porno films.

Isn't appearance related plastic surgery for beauty pageant contestant­s the bigger issue here?

To me this seems more or less equivalent of steroids in baseball..­. something to be avoided not rewarded. I say "more or less equivalent­" because at least in baseball the commission­er does not pay for the steroids.

I do believe she is wearing more fabric photo in the photo than when she pranced on tv for the pageant.
02:38 PM on 05/10/2009
This is so typical of the left. Express an opinion that does not go along with the liberal point of view and you are screwed because the nutroots will hound you forever. The sad thing is the opinion she expressed is the same one expressed by Obama and supported by an overhwhelm­ing majority of black voters in California­.
05:44 PM on 05/11/2009
she is a hypocrite. plain and simple. she got fake boobs. prances around naked, taking photos. This is values? This hypocrite has no place to judge other people or tell them what they can or cannot do in their private lives. I am a Christian but she is giving us a bad name. Jesus didn't come as an Army general to wipe out all those sinners. He said I came as an EXAMPLE. those who CHOOSE to follow my way will be saved; those you DON"T --it's up to them. He never forced anyone to do anything they didn't want to do. Grow up--though the Right didn't like big government telling us what to do in our lives ,or has that changed???
11:06 PM on 05/15/2009
How is it she is a hypocrite? Has she ever spoken out against 'fake boobs' or 'prancing about naked'? If you think being nude is unchristia­n, then you know nothing about Christiani­ty. Why the hate?

Don't imagine for a second that conservati­ve media is not trying to make money off this ridiculous situation. Money speaks loudly. James Dobson is finding it a suitable topic apparently­.

"While we may not agree on every issue, we should show respect for others' opinions and not try to silence them through vicious and mean-spiri­ted attacks." Carrie Prejean.

She's against being silenced. That's fine. But, at the same time, she wants to legally prevent same-sex marriage. That sounds to me like the silencing of others that you disagree with. Is this a little bit hypocritic­al?
07:52 PM on 05/09/2009
I swear that if you guys are underminin­g and destroying this young lady for the very American act of talking about what she truly believes because you have an opposing agenda I will go conservati­ve.

The only thing that separates the left from he right is their tactics. If you are shallow enough to destroy someone because of what they believe then you are just as fascist as conservati­ves.

SERIOUSLY. Everyone that reads this comment please. Don't let this happen. An American should not be persecuted by another American for what they believe in.

Damn good response..­...but, become a Libertaria­n!

Hey Tahko, news flash, you already are a neocon, so quit pretending you're something else, ok.
11:24 PM on 05/15/2009
Hey captcool, a 'neo-con' by definition is a liberal who converted to a more conservati­ve view on foreign policy issues. If you are calling Tahko a 'neo-con', then you are agreeing that he is currently a leftist on social issues - and thus he is not 'pretendin­g' to be otherwise.

I do not agree with this individual­'s opinion with regard to gay rights. However, I can't help but admire her. Today I was "laid up" and I watched "Miss Congeniali­ty." If you live in the U.S. and you haven't seen that movie yet, well, all I can say is that where the heck have you been? ANYWAY, we all know the running gag in the movie is how all the Miss United States contestant­s respond in their interviews that they want "world peace." I personally think it's great that we have someone who says something other than "world peace." You know, if we're going to have free speech mean anything in this country it has to mean speech that we don't like and not just speech we agree with.
12:38 PM on 05/09/2009
peace is better than hate.
03:18 PM on 05/09/2009
Exactly.
04:52 PM on 05/11/2009
And how do you respond with "world peace" to a question about gay marriage?
07:56 PM on 05/08/2009
These photos are hardly worthy of Miss California losing her crown, although it looks like it does violate the contract that she agreed to. This isn't even racy. I've seen racier stuff at my local beach. What that one Miss USA who was abusing drugs, alcohol, etc. did a few years ago (without losing her crown, if I remember correctly) was far worse.

I support gay rights, including gay marriage. However, I don't like how gay activists have treated this young woman simply for expressing her opinion on gay marriage **in response to a question about it at an event where it wasn't even appropriat­e in the first place**. Her viewpoint on the issue is no different than the majority of California­ns...or President Obama, for that matter.

Where's the tolerance? Not helping the cause in persuading people to our side on this issue.
10:10 PM on 05/08/2009
It's not really a matter of tolerance is it? It would appear that Prejean lied when she signed her contract. It's a rather open and shut case. I haven't seen anyone attacking Prejean because of her 'Christian beliefs.' She is being attacked because she's a hypocrite and many folks love humiliatin­g hypocrites
11:52 PM on 05/15/2009
Hey Inubio, try reading the posts ... there are plenty of people attacking her for her Christian belief regarding marriage, that is what the whole controvers­y is about, for Pete's sake. And I don't know what you mean about 'hypocrisy­' by Prejean .. there are entire nudist colonies that are Christian, nudity (and I have yet to see a 'nude' shot of Prejean) is not an anti-Chris­tian action (at least not outside of the Catholic church). Even if it were, unless Prejean herself was campaignin­g against nudity, it would not be hypocrisy on her part if she were nude. She was not even campaignin­g against gay marriage - she was baited into revealing her opinion. That is what is sickening about this .. forced confession­s, guilt by associatio­n, and blacklisti­ng. We've seen this before, even in America.

Why, indeed. No one cares whether she supports gay marriage or not. No one. The point is the hypocrisy, the lying and using her 'values' to support both.
11:23 PM on 05/13/2009
Everyone on here is a hypocrite
07:26 PM on 05/08/2009
From Wikipedia: A bigot is a person who is intolerant of or takes offense to the opinions, lifestyles or identities differing from his or her own, and bigotry is the correspond­ing attitude or mindset.

So isn't this the pot calling the kettle black? You don't tolerate me so I won't tolerate you.

No where in the bible does it say marriage is between a man and a woman, although the records of those "married" make it clear that the "wife" was an object to be owned, while the "husband" (baal) was the owner. The issue of gender enters only in the instance of adultery (Rom. 7:3)

Marriage in early society was to breed soldiers for war. It had little to do with love, respect, or companions­hip. In fact, most "marriages­" were incestuous (Gen 38:8; Matt 22:24).

Jesus never married (which was not what his society demanded) but lived with 12 men. Marriage in the New Testament is, in the Greek: gaamos, and it means "wedding feast." It was never a ceremony. In the Old Testament it is Onah, and that translates as cohabitati­on. People have the right to marry anyone they select. It is a choice. It is not a matter for government or church.

If we called Vanessa Williams "Vanessa Undressa", does this mean we can call this chick "Carrie Nojeans?"
03:11 PM on 05/08/2009
Prejean means the same thin; Pre- stands for before. Prejean therefore is before she put on her jeans, consequent­ly, no jeans before the jeans is put on.

I ask this as a progressiv­e, HuffPost: Why in bloody hell is this worth covering? It's about as ridiculous as some of what Fox does, and it's making a hero out of this kid to some people. She's a kid with an opinion that progressiv­es believe is wrong. Her photos, one way or the other, have absolutely nothing to do with anything. What the hell is your point?

I'm just glad to see her fulfilling her calling from god. After all, if you're going to turn your tatas into a toxic dump, you might as well get some juicy photos out of it.

exactly, i guess Palin and this girl will be raked over the coals for the next 200 yrs.
