    Attended San Diego Christian College
    Miss California USA (2009)

    Received media attention after answering a controversial interview competition question form pageant judge Perez Hilton (April 19, 2009)
    Married football quarterback Kyle Boller (July 2, 2010)

Why she might be annoying:

    She suggested that legal marriage should be only between a man and woman after Perez Hilton asker her whether states should legalize same- sex marriage.
    Many people viewed her perspective on same- sex marriage as biased and intolerant towards homosexuality.
    She referred to heterosexual marriage as 'opposite' marriage.
    Some people alleged that her views on same sex marriage may have stemmed from her parents accusing each other of homosexuality during divorce proceedings (1996).
    Pageant officials were concerned that her media attention and public advocacy of traditional marriage overshadowed her pageant platform of promoting the Special Olympics disability rights organization.
    Miss California USA organizers paid for her breast implants shortly before she competed in the national pageant.
    Some conservative Christians criticized her body exposure and display during pageant swimsuit competitions.
    Some questioned her claim of worshipping Jesus Christ yet also allegedly dating ethically and spiritually questionable Michael Phelps.
    Semi- nude modeling photos of her were published after she received media attention regarding her pageant interview question.
    The modeling photos violated a Miss USA pageant clause against partial or full nudity, and she was at risk of losing her Miss California USA title (May 2009).
    The media attention she received as 1st runner- up overshadowed that of the pageant's winner, Kristen Dalton.
    She was fired as Miss California for contract violations (June 10, 2009).

Why she might not be annoying:

    She stated that being true to her Christian beliefs and answering Perez Hilton's question honestly was more important than being Miss USA.
    Various celebrities claimed an opposition to same- sex marriage while receiving less media attention as Prejean.
    She received public support from people of various sexual orientations for stating and defending her beliefs.
    She defended her modeling photos, suggesting that revealing poses did not jeopardize her faith in Christ.
    Some suggested that the published modeling photos were mainly an attempt to smear Prejean for her beliefs.
    The contents of her photos were not as explicit as those of other beauty queens such as Vanessa L. Williams and Katie Rees.
    Among the positive attention she received for her pageant answer were scholarship offers and invitations to advocate for family values.
    Regarding her controversial behavior, she stated , 'I am not perfect, and I will never claim to be.'
