Carrie Prejean, the former Miss California, has sued beauty pageant organizers claiming she was wrongfully fired for saying marriage should be only between a man and a woman, her lawyer said the other day. Two months after her controversial statement at the Miss USA pageant in April, organizers terminated Prejean’s contract saying she had broken it by failing to make appearances on their behalf. Prejean’s attorney Charles LiMandri said pageant officials based their decision to terminate her contract on invitations Prejean received for events she was never required to attend. “There was a strained relationship, and it became that way when she gave that answer and would not back off of it. That’s what this is really all about,” LiMandri told Reuters .
