Some
of the images of Katie Rees were posted on canada.com Wednesday
evening, sparking headlines all over North America and prompting pagent
officials to investigate.
" Katie Rees has been relieved of her duties as Miss Nevada USA
2007 " said Paula M. Shugart, president of the Miss Universe
Organization, which owns the Miss USA pageant, according to the Associated Press.
GGD - Call me crazy but I though these sort of things are part of her duties? Who else would raise awareness for the dangers of drunken promiscuity if the active role models for teen girls dont go and get out of control??
Am I the only one completely shocked that Paris Hilton isn't somewhere in the background? Well at least its nice to see this scandal wont get hung on Joe Francis. Although these picture just smack of his style - Miss USA's Gone Wild?
First runner-up Helen Salas will assume the title and
compete at the 2007 Miss USA pageant on March 23 in Los Angeles. The shocking photos came hot on the fashionable heels of a scandal that rocked reigning Miss USA Tara Conner. The raunchy pics show Rees exposing her breasts, passionately
kissing other young women, and simulating oral sex with females and a
male.
"The pictures were disgusting," Miss USA co-owner Donald Trump told
Larry King on CNN Thursday night.
GGD - Uhmnn..... Is the Donald kidding? You know he pulled a stiffy like any other straight man at the mere thought let alone photo's of it.
"These pictures were pretty far out
there and that is not representative of Miss USA. We had no choice but
to terminate her." GGD - I'm going to have to disagree, follow my logic: Miss USA represents young american women under a given age, if you have ever gone out to a bar/club/party/easter sunday dinner with eough of these goofy young bimbo's ..... this is inevitable. This is EXACTLY what Miss Teen USA & Miss USA represents. On Tuesday, Trump announced that
hard-partying Conner accused of underage drinking, drug use and
promiscuous behaviour was going to enter rehab but will keep her
title. Rees, 22, was crowned Miss Nevada in Las Vegas in October and was
due to represent the state in the Miss USA pageant next spring."
Earlier this month, Rees was the guest of honour at a Special
Olympics bowling tournament and last month attended an event for
underprivileged children.
But Rees showed off a much wilder side in the pictures, taken during
a party in Tampa, Florida before she was crowned Miss Nevada.
