Carrie Prejean: Erotic Tape Was "Biggest Mistake of My Life"

After reports circulated that former Miss California Carrie Prejean had a sex tape, the dethroned beauty queen confirmed the erotic video, which she called "the biggest mistake of my life."

“It was me by myself. There was no one else with me. I was not having sex,” Prejean, 22, told the Today Show on Tuesday, one day after admitting the existence of the tape on Fox News.
(The X-rated video surfaced during a negotiating session with Miss California pageant officials over a lawsuit Prejean filed against the organization for stripping her of her crown earlier this year. When the tape’s existence was revealed, Prejean settled her suit.)
Prejean said she made the video of herself when she was 17 years old and that it was for her long-distance boyfriend at the time.
"I was a teenager," she said. "I cared about him. I trusted him. I think now they call it ‘sexting.’"

She added: "Did I think it would come back now and haunt me? No. But I think that a lot of young people can learn from this. Nothing is private anymore. Nothing is private."
Although she admitted it was a bad decision, she says that there is currently "a campaign against me trying to silence me."
Prejean -- who went on Today to promote her new book, Still Standing: The Untold Story of My Fight Against Gossip, Hate and Political Attacks -- said she has been under attack since the Miss USA pageant last April, where she said that she believed marriage should be between a man and a woman.
"They tried to embarrass me," she said of critics. "They tried to humiliate me. They tried to attack me. And I’m still standing."
Despite her Christian values -- she has written that women should earn respect "not for showing skin to look sexy" --and conservative political views, she discounts accusations that she is a hypocrite for taking racy photos, which emerged recently.

"I’m a model. I was in a beauty pageant. If people want to call me a hypocrite, that’s their prerogative," she said. "But I’ve learned from my mistakes. No one is perfect."
Tell Us What You Think
214Stephanie, all of us are sinners, as St. Paul said in Romans 3,23. That includes you, me, Carrie, St Paul, anyone. In that respect, all of us can compare themselves to St. Paul. All of us do need repentance. There won't be anyone soon who does the great deeds that St. Paul did. In that way, we can't compare ourselves to St. Paul. But if even someone who killed christians can convert and do great things, why cannot ordinary persons, busdrivers, bank managers, presidents, juries, and beatyqueens also change and do good? It's the conversion part, in which we can compare. I think people who don't have peace with God are soooo glad if christians can be found hypocrites. It gives them a bit more peace about their own life (and can for a short time quieten their bad consciences - "See, even those so-called holy people are actually sinners; so I can remain one, too".). The point is, we are supposed to be inspired by the option of repentance. Stop being in darkness, but come to the Light. Jesus Christ can change humans. Jesus can change terrible criminals and murderers like Saul to St. Paul. Then he can also change "ordinary sinners" of any kind. That was the point that bob made.
Re: bob Oh you did NOT just compare Miss California to the man who arguably started Christianity as it is today. What is this world coming to?

In Acts of the Apostles, a book in the New Testament of the Bible, we learn that Saul (whose name was changed later to Paul) was a Pharisee who travelled the Roman Empire killing and persecuting Christians. After seeing a vision on the road to Damascus, he repented, was called by God to an entirely new life, and became perhaps the greatest of the Apostles, witnessing all over the world and writing much of the New Testament. All along, however, in his writings he still acknowledged he made mistakes, even after becoming a Christian. Now if Paul could go from killing Christians to being a Christian, is it not possible that Carrie could have made many mistakes, seen the error of her ways, and then pursued a different course? Is it possible she still makes mistakes? Christians do not claim to be perfect--far from it. Indeed, until one is shown the depth of one's own sin, it is doubtful one would feel the need to repent and accept Jesus as one's savior. "All men have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God."
hope you get to read this Carrie i am so proud of you for standing for your convictions and beliefs we live on a time where standing for Christian beliefs is not excepted. those days are over. but truth never changes. people change Carrie your past was taking care in the blood of Jesus!Av.
Here's a news flash. No one likes Carrie Prejean. Sorry, but she is a hypocrite and a media junkie. Go home Carrie! We're tired of your self-entitled attitude and your 15 minutes of fame are over.
Jackie/Nov.10-7:02: She does have the same view as Bush!! He was a drug dealer!! You hit the nail as they say, right on the head. Wish someone would hit YOU on the head, tardo..The blond bimbo is still a hypocrite, no matter how much you tell yourself otherwise. Time for you to move on. Go on..
Sorry for posting twice! I guess there's about an hour delay on this site between the time you post and the time your post appears.
Ceztine2009 - Do you condone her lying twice to the pageant, failing to fulfill her contractual commitments, making a sex tape and then pretending to be a role model for young Christian girls? Would you want your daughter to follow her example? If Carrie didn't care about what people would think of her (as you claim), why would she lie? Why would she buy fake boobs? Can't you see that she's a complete phony? You sound like a good Christian - she does not.

Laughing thinking about all the churches and Natl. Org. for Marriage, etc cancelling her engagements. She is really pathetic because she has no talent like Vanessa Williams. Funny that she set herself up for this downfall by being stupid enough to make the tape in the first place. She is a very offensive person, and she is crumbling from her own stupidity
when jesus was on this earth in that era people still had multiple wives. same sex relations have been around much longer than jesus or christianity in general and same sex marriages were legel in times dating back to ancient Greece.
Carrie just made a right decision to stand for what is right in the eyes of God. She didn't think about what people will say about her. That is what all Christians should do. We are not here in this world to please people but to make God glorified in our life. Though we still sin because we are not yet in heaven, but the best thing we can do is to do what will please and honor our God and don't mind people of their idea about us. We just need to pray for them that God will open their mind and heart so that they too will see the TRUTH and see that only JESUS can save them from eternal damnation.
She is such a loser.
what a total idiot.
I have my own family and my own job. Who cares ?

I think this Carrie chick is a fake and Larry was very clear in what he asked if anything she was rude an inappropiate he should have tossed her fake white --- off the set.
She won the Miss California title because of her fake boobs! I'm soo glad her crown was taken away from her-she didn't deserve it! She's a hypocrite talking about her Christian beliefs, blah blah so she doesn't agree with gay marriage, but soo proud to pose nude, have sex with herself, and expose it to the world! That's not being a good role model! Larry King's question wasn't inappropriate at all, however, her response was inappropriate! She was soo rude in taking off the microphone and rolling her eyes as if she's still a kid! I hope no one buys her stinking book!!!
ALl shes doing is trying to sell a book , and shes doing a great job at it by getting all you fools to argue and fight over her ,shes actually smarter than i thought,youve been had.
