More controversy has arisen from what some are calling Miss California-gate. Shanna Moakler, the state of California director for the Miss USA Pageant has resigned from her post.
As Moakler's statement was posted on Fox News' web site,
"I cannot with a clear conscious move forward supporting and promoting the Miss Universe Organization when I no longer believe in it, or the contracts I signed committing myself as a youth," she said. "I want 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. I am sorry and hope I have not let any young supporters down but wish them the best of luck in fulfilling their dreams."
Moakler has been a strong proponent of gay rights, even appearing in a print ad for Prop 8. Like Prejean, Moakler does know a thing or two about posing topless as she is a former Playboy Playmate.
