Religion / Media Carrie Prejean Knows From Inappropriate
Posted by Dan Savage on Thu, Nov 12, 2009 at 10:35 AM
Carrie Prejean almost storms out of television studio because the questions are too tough—on Larry King Live?
Prejean threatened to walk off King's Wednesday night interview after King asked her why she'd settled a lawsuit against the Miss California USA Pageant.... Prejean didn't answer.King repeated: "You can't even say why you settled?"
"Larry," Prejean replied, "it's completely confidential and you're being inappropriate."
It gets worse for Prejean. A caller begins a call with, "I'm a gay man and I love pageants," and Prejean reaches to disconnect her mic. "Did she hear the question?" King asks. Prejean retorts, "Yeah, I think you are being extremely inappropriate right now, and I'm about to leave your show."
Carrie only takes questions now from straight beauty pageant fans, Larry. Here's the video...
First, you have to love the way Carrie waves her book around and smiles at the camera. That sent little starbursts right up my leg. And it seems pretty clear that Carrie was prepared to continue with the interview until Larry took a call from a gay man. That was the last straw—Miss Prejean isn't interested in speaking with gay people, only persecuting gay people. And why would she take off her mic off and then sit there? This is how you take off a mic and storm off a set, Carrie.
ALSO! And it turns out that Carrie isn't a child pornographer after all—just a liar.
Carrie Prejean's ex-boyfriend—the guy to whom she sent the XXX solo video—tells TMZ Carrie and company called him last week and tried getting him to "lie" and say she was 17 when she shot the video. During an audio interview with TMZ, the man—who asked us not to reveal his identity—says Carrie sent him the video when they were involved with each other in 2007. He says Carrie sent him numerous explicit videos and insists the one in question was shot when she was 20.
