Shanna Moakler Quits As Miss Calif. USA Director

LOS ANGELES (AP) ― Former beauty queen Shanna Moakler has resigned as executive director of the Miss California USA pageant, a day after controversial titleholder Carrie Prejean was allowed to keep her crown.

"Shanna has and will continue to be a large part of my life, All though I am sad she has come to this decision, I will always respect the convictions, that brought her to this place," says Keith Lewis, co-executive director of Miss California USA pageant.

Moakler, a former Miss USA, said in a statement issued by her publicist Wednesday that she no longer believes in the organization.

She had angrily accused Prejean on Monday of violating the contract she signed with pageant organizers by speaking out repeatedly on behalf of organizations opposed to gay marriage and by failing to disclose she had posed nearly nude for photographs as a teenager.

Pageant owner Donald Trump, who could have ousted Prejean, said Tuesday she will remain Miss Calfornia.
