Prejean will be replaced by runner-up Tami Farrell. According to a statement by the Miss California pageant’s executive director Keith Lewis, Prejean was not fired for her homophobic remarks but her “contract violations, including Ms. Prejean’s unwillingness to make appearances on behalf of the Miss California USA organization.”

Last month pageant officials had complained publicly about Prejean’s failure to appear at Miss California events while making unsanctioned media appearances, and her refusal to return the pageant official’s phone calls. When Trump undermined his employees by calling Prejean’s contract violations a “misunderstanding” and allowed her to keep her crown, pageant director Shanna Moakler resigned in protest.
