Ex Miss California settles suit with pageant officials

Los Angeles: The legal spat between former Miss California Carrie Prejean and pageant officials has come to an end after both the parties reached a confidential settlement.

Prejean and the organisers issued a joint statement saying they "wish each other the best in their future endeavours." According to TMZ, the 22-year-old sought more than a million dollars during her settlement negotiations until the lawyer for the pageant showed her a XXX sex tape, featuring her as the protagonist, reports the Daily Telegraph. The beauty was said to have taken about 15 seconds to take back her demands and agree to a 100,000-dollar payout. The entire amount reportedly bares the cost of her attorneys and leaves her empty handed. Prejean was dethroned after being caught up in a controversy involving her open opposition to gay marriage and a nude photo shoot. She slapped the state organization with a lawsuit alleging she lost her title over her religious beliefs. The pageant accused her of missing events and filed a countersuit. ANI
