May 13 2009, Published 5:48 a.m. ET
Fresh off of Donald Trump's public affirmation that Miss California Carrie Prejean would keep her crown, former beauty queen and pageant director Shanna Moakler resigned from her post on Wednesday.
"Since the press conference yesterday, I had a chance to think about what has taken place, and I feel that at this time it is in my best interest to resign from the Miss California USA organization," Moaker tells Us. "I cannot with a clear conscious move forward supporting and promoting the Miss Universe Organization when I no longer believe in it, or the contracts I signed committing myself as a youth."
"I want to be a role model for young woman with high hopes of pageantry, but now feel it more important to be a role model for my children. I am sorry and hope I have not let any young supporters down but wish them the best of luck in fulfilling their dreams."
