EXCLUSIVE: Carrie Prejean’s Attorney Responds to ‘Inaccurate and Misleading’ Rumors

by Big Hollywood

In an exclusive to Big Hollywood, Carrie Prejean’s attorney Charles LiMandri, released an official statement today regarding ”inaccurate and misleading” rumors leaked to the media within hours of Ms. Prejean reaching an agreement with The Miss California USA pageant, an agreement with assurances of confidentiality:

“In my 26 years of practice, I have never dealt with a situation quite like this.  We came to a confidential agreement and yet within hours, rumors about what happened in the mediation were flying around the web and being accepted by news organizations as absolute fact. Carrie and I plan to continue to honor our confidentiality agreement with the other parties. But I can tell you this; many of the rumors circulating are inaccurate and misleading.”

EXCLUSIVE: Prejean Attorney — Pageant Countersuit Part of ‘Ongoing Smear Campaign’

by Big Hollywood

From Carrie Prejean’s attorney Charles LiMandri:

This is just the latest installment in K2 Production’s ongoing smear campaign against Carrie Prejean.  They have proven, once again, that they will use whatever scurrilous accusations they can dredge up – or invent – to try and tarnish Carrie’s reputation and her good name. It is both appalling and pathetic to see K2 and their friends in Hollywood try to destroy this young woman simply for standing up for her beliefs.  (more…)

Big Hollywood Exclusive: Prejean Attorney Provides Playboy Emails; Carrie ‘is being persecuted for same-sex marriage’ beliefs

by Big Hollywood

Miss California USA Pageant Director Keith Lewis explained the decision to fire then-Miss California Carrie Prejean in the following statement: “This was a decision based solely on contract violations including Ms. Prejean’s unwillingness to make appearances on behalf of the Miss California USA organization.”

But In an exclusive interview with Big Hollywood, Ms. Prejean’s attorney, Charles S. LiMandri, who says that he and his client learned of the firing during a phone call from gossip site TMZ, vehemently denies those allegations.

“She greeted troops, ‘Fox and Friends,’ she was lined up for the Special Olympics this weekend. It is pure BS.”  He continued that neither the Miss California USA Pageant organization nor Miss USA owner Donald Trump had ever taken issue with the frequency of her media appearances: “They never said it was a problem.”

According to Mr. LiMandri, the real reason behind the firing was three-fold: His client’s beliefs regarding same-sex marriage, a possible book deal with his client (a deal approved by Mr. Trump), and the fact that Ms. Prejean refused to pose for Playboy Magazine or participate in a docudrama promoting same-sex marriage.  (more…)

Exclusive: Prejean Atty. Fires Back: Miss California Pageant Head ‘Cannot Deny Truth’

by Carrie Prejean

Charles LiMandri, Attorney for Miss Carrie Prejean, issued the following statement in response to Keith Lewis’ comments on The Today Show earlier today:

“Keith Lewis cannot deny the truth:  He did not bother to pick up the phone and tell Carrie Prejean before he alerted the media.  He did not pick up the phone and call me to let me know she was fired either. Both of us learned about it from media reports. He claims he wants to “move on” yet he continues to attack not only me, Carrie and even Carrie’s pastor, Miles McPherson.  This tells you everything you need to know about Keith Lewis and the way the pageant has treated Carrie from day one.” (more…)
