Carrie Prejean says steamy photographs of her "have been released surreptitiously to a tabloid Web site that openly mocks me for my Christian faith."

Prejean — the 21-year-old Miss USA runner-up whose remarks on same-sex marriage garnered harsh critism — said in a statement today that the images that ended up on the internet on Monday were "mean-spirited attacks."

I am a Christian, and I am a model. Models pose for pictures, including lingerie and swimwear photos. Recently, photos taken of me as a teenager have been released surreptitiously to a tabloid Web site that openly mocks me for my Christian faith. I am not perfect, and I will never claim to be. But these attacks on me and others who speak in defense of traditional marriage are intolerant and offensive. While we may not agree on every issue, we should show respect for others’ opinions and not try to silence them through vicious and mean-spirited attacks.

The statement comes after the Hollywood gossip website TheDirty.Com featured "exclusive images" of Prejean in bright pink panties and seemingly topless. The website describes the image as "Self-proclaimed bible thumper Miss California, Carrie Prejean, should start pointing the finger at herself for her own indiscretions … Looks like your Dirty photo shoot makes you a sinner too …"

It is not the publishing of the pictures that "mocks her Christian faith," my dears. It is the assertion she made that she had posed for no nude or semi-nude pictures, as a condition of her participation in the pageant.

Lying "mocks her Christian faith," dahlings. Proof that she lied is not a mockery. It is the truth, my dears.

I hope she has goals and interests and talents that will serve her well when her 15 minutes is up. The phony controversy surrounding her now will become yesterday’s new by, well, maybe even tomorrow.

Enough of all of this. I personally don’t give a rats patooty if she has size 48DDD boobies. Don’t care where she got them or who paid for them. Don’t care if she posed in the nude or with her panties on. Don’t care whether she’s a good or bad christian.

The person to be critized on this thread should be Perez Hilton. If anyone needs an implant he needs one below the hairline and between his ears. (Could think of a couple of other sites too). He is a brainless little varmit with his own slimy agenda. He started all this crapola and the s$$$ should hit his fan — not hers.

Let it be - let it go. It’s done, it’s over — let’s move on. This is soooooo yesterday’s news!

it isn’t his fault she got fake boobs, lied and then tried to pass herself off as a christian who believes in family values..

btw, i don’t like perez hilton, i hate the miss america pageants, and most of those women could choke on the botox for all i care.. don’t care if she poses nude or not ( like i am surprised.. what values these women espouse " i want to save the world" yeah, with the big boobs. .. give me a freakin’ break. who the frak cares.

First her point of view lost her the crown. Next her faith is the reason the pictures on websites and she is being mocked. Give me a break. This kid has an excuse for everything. Maybe if she is being mocked it is for her ignorance.

The photos are much ado. The real story is, she knowingly lied on her pageant contract to advance her career. Some Christian, right?

yes and then accepted the gig with the anti-marriage-for-all group. Wasn’t that a paid gig?

It wasn’t that she was anti-marriage-for-all that bothered me - we all have our blind spots. It was that it was such a bad answer. If she’d been that inarticulate on any question, she still would have lost the top spot and now she’d have nothing. So isn’t she really just surfing the wave? She should thank Perez for booting her on up the ladder.

Right or wrong, it’s the price we pay for Freedom of Speech.

Eh, I honestly don’t think the photos are anything to get worked up about. Technically she’s "topless"; but when I hear that a woman posed topless, I assume it’s a full-frontal kind of thing. I’m not a fan of hers, but this really is grasping at straws.

Methinks the young lady doth protest too much.

And while I have belief in Christ, I’m always "confused" as to what constitutes a Christian. Because I’ve encountered racist Christians and Christians who either drink or don’t; have sex outside of marriage or don’t; have tattoos and piercings or dress like it’s 1870. The word "Christian" can (supposedly) be applied to such a vast array of behaviors and expressions it…essentially means nothing. Anyone can apparently define it.

Ms. Perjean, you judged others. Now you’re being judged. But Christians often forget "judge not lest thou be judged."
