A Number Of Photos Were Later Leaked Online Purportedly Showing Her Baring Her Breasts, Breaking One Of The Rules Of The Competition, Which Would Force Trump To Strip Her Of Her Title. But At A Press Conference In Manhattan, New York On Tuesday (12May09), Trump Revealed Prejean Would Remain Miss California, Because An Initial Topless Snap Was Taken When She Was A Minor At 17, While A Second Batch Published Online On Tuesday Morning Were Photoshopped By An Unscrupulous Photographer.

HEAD OF MISS CALIFORNIA USA PAGEANT QUITS

A day after Donald Trump announced his decision to let Carrie Prejean keep her title of Miss California USA, Shanna Moakler, co-executive director of the Miss California USA Pageant -- and a former Miss USA herself -- resigned, saying that she no longer believed in Trump's Miss Universe Organization. She insisted that Prejean had violated her contracts with the organization by appearing before groups that oppose gay marriage and her failure to disclose that she had posed nearly nude in commercial photos while still a teenager. Moakler said that she had hoped "to be a role model for young women with high hopes of pageantry, but now feel it more important to be a role model for my children."
