carrieprejeanmisscaliforniabeautypageantqueen Prejean planned threat to walk off CNN in advance: sourceCarrie Prejean, the Miss California 2009 winner who was stripped of her title after making controversial remarks opposing same-sex marriage and appearing in topless photos, reportedly threatened CNN staff with an on-air walkout on Larry King Live if King was "not nice" to her.

Prejean appeared on King's show Wednesday night, and appeared to prepare to walk off the show when a caller identified himself as a gay fan of beauty pageants. But Tara Palmeri and Nikki Schwab at the Washington Examiner report that threatening to walk off the show was the first thing Prejean did when she arrived with an entourage at the CNN studios.

The Examiner reports:

Upon entering CNN's Washington Bureau Wednesday night, the first words out of Former Miss California Carrie Prejean's mouth to CNN news assistant Christina McAusland were, "You tell Larry if he's not nice to me, I will get up and leave."

Beyond her on-air hissy fit, the beauty queen's behavior at the studio was classless.

She arrived with an entourage of five, (for cable news Green Room context, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., never arrives with a group that large) and barked at a studio operator for touching her hair while setting up her microphone.

CNN news assistant Christina McAusland told the Examiner that she had "never been treated so poorly" in her entire life.

Prejean dropped her lawsuit against the Miss California contest -- which she launched after the beauty pageant's organizers stripped her of her title -- when pageant lawyers confronted her with a videotape showing her in a sexual compromising position at age 17. Prejean's mother was reportedly in the room when lawyers confronted her with the tape.

    To set the record straight - she didn't storm off, she removed her mic and just sat there looking "beyond stupid" as she obviously thought that removing the mic would also remove the camera. Then when asked a question by Larry King, she replied: "I can't hear you". I think her next move should be to pursue the GOP Presidential Nomination in 2012, as based on that parties criteria, she's a perfect fit.

    Her parents have done her a grave disservice. Building up this level of narcissism, superiority, and entitlement doesn't happen overnight, nor does it come with a boob job.

    Prejean did not lose her title because of her anti-gay remarks. She lost it because she did not honor her contract to make required public appearances.

    Thats just a minor detail. You know Fox and friends have trouble with fair and balanced.
  • meemers
    That is absolutely right! Her quick trip to fame is fading fast. She will be old new's next week and that book of her's will hit the . 99 cents bargain bins.( No one messes with the Donald)

    working as a "cocktail waitress" or else making some more "porn flicks"
  • Prejean sex tape
    Wait until that sex tape is released on the internet. She'll be simultaneously famous and ruined.
  • philedrifter
    can you say 'pedophelia charges' on whoever releases it?
  • Chescores
    I can say it just fine.

    It just wouldn't apply in this situation because she was 20, not 17.

    When I see Ms. Pejean I see U-G-L-Y!

    Beyond her contrived and augmented physical beauty, deeper into her soul, I see a spiteful and bigoted person.

    My dear Carrie. You don't even have the instincts of the most unintelligent dog. You don't bite the hand that feeds you.

    Good luck with selling your persona. Without talent, that's all you've got.

    Can Hustler be far behind?

    Strange why she would want to walk off the set, I heard Prejean is a master debater (on the Stephanie Miller show this morning.)
  • dennycrane
    She also wears underwear so she can look at the stains to tell if she's "cumming" or "going."
  • SouthernYankee
    Really, you must of misunderstood her. She might of said masturbater. Or is that what she meant? LOL
  • jamminjohn
    Way to go, Prejeans! Play the victim role to a "tee", Tell em all again how Christian you are, then go out and get another boob job (the one on your head is working just fine). Oh, ya, do another hide the dildo vid. Christians seem to like that kind of stuff.

  • smallbear

  • marcus07
    What Carrie Pre-panty-jeans needs is a bit of good ole' fashion humility. Who and what the hell does she care about? Besides el numero uno?
  • legalies76
    Spoiled beeeaatch! Hopefully a life of unhappiness follows her everywhere she goes.
