Miss Nevada Katie Rees Fired Over Breasts and Lesbian Pictures
Miss Nevada Katie Rees has been stripped of her crown. The Nevada beauty was stripped for a series of steamy photographs that reportedly have been circulated on the Internet. In the photographs, Miss Nevada Katie Rees makes out with a girl reveals her breasts , sucks on a girls breasts and tongue, pulls her panties down to reveal her thong.... well you get the idea Donald Trump, who owns the pageant, said Katie Rees, 22, deserved to be dumped for pictures.
In a statement released Thursday, Paula M. Shugart, president of the Miss Universe Organization, said: "Katie Rees has been relieved of her duties as Miss Nevada USA 2007. First runner-up Helen Salas will assume the title and compete at the 2007 Miss USA Pageant on March 23 in Los Angeles, California." The 22-year-old, who was crowned in October, was due to represent her state in the Miss USA Pageant next spring. In a statement to TV's Extra, an attorney for the dismissed beauty queen says: "Katie Rees ... wants the public to know she was 17 (?) and had a lapse in judgment." "The actions on that evening in subject are in no way indicative of the person she is or the person she has become - she is a law-abiding citizen and talented adult. This was an isolated incident that occurred more than five years ago when she was a minor." Her attorney, Mario Torres, added in statement to PEOPLE: "We think it is inequitable that Miss USA was allowed a second chance for something she did weeks ago and Katie is being punished for something that happened five years ago." Earlier this week Miss USA, Tara Conner, was nearly removed from her throne over her alleged hard-partying ways. "I've always been a believer in second chances," Trump said at a press conference before announcing that Conner would go to rehab for alcohol abuse. "Tara is good person. Tara has tried hard. Tara is going to be given a second chance." |
