Shanna Moakler: Carrie Prejean Was Getting Nasty

Shanna Moakler has opened up about the Carrie Prejean controversy, revealing that the reigning Miss California sent her an email saying that she “should be thanking [Prejean] for extending my fifteen minutes.”

In an interview with Usmagazine, Moakler says, “Carrie is very, very nice when she wants something. And when it’s her turn to do her end of the deal, it’s very complicated. She’s late, she doesn’t show up. It’s always a problem. I can deal with difficult, but I can’t deal with nasty and she was getting nasty.”

The 34-year-old says that her decision to quit as the Miss California pageant director came down to a lack of respect.

“I personally paid for photo shoots for Carrie Prejean, that are $3,000 photo shoots,” she explains. “I spent a thousand dollars in makeup for her, I got out and scouted and found [all our] sponsors … I felt like, ‘Why do I have to continue to support this girl when she has absolutely no respect for me?”

But the former Miss California is proud of her decision to quit adding, “I stood up for what I believe in and what I think is right. I’m proud, but I’m devastated. This isn’t what pageants are about, it wasn’t how it’s supposed to go.”
