After last month’s press conference where Donald Trump proudly announced that Miss California Carrie Prejean would keep her crown following racy pics that may have violated her contract… today we learn that Carrie Prejean has been fired!

Miss Malibu Tami Farrell will serve as replacement to the fired Carrie Prejean.

So, why did Donald Trump finally fire the controversial Miss California?

Trump released this statement:

“I told Carrie she needed to get back to work and honor her contract with the Miss California USA Organization and I gave her the opportunity to do so. Unfortunately it just doesn’t look like it is going to happen and I offered Keith my full support in making this decision. Carrie is a beautiful young woman and I wish her well as she pursues her other interests.”

Effective immediately, Miss Malibu Tami Farrell, the first runner-up to Carrie Prejean in the Miss California USA competition, takes the crown.
