Former Miss California Carrie Prejean, Pageant Organizers Settle Lawsuits AP

Former Miss California USA Carrie Prejean and pageant organizers have settled their lawsuits against each other, the Associated Press reports.

In a joint statement the two sides said they had reached a confidential settlement. Prejean, who was fired in June because pageant organizers said she missed events, sued the organizers in August, accusing them of libel, slander and religious discrimination for telling her to stop talking about God. She denied she didn’t fulfill her duties.

Officials countersued in October.
