Carrie Prejean's Larry King Live Tantrum (Video)
Carrie Prejean may finally take a break from press.
Who's having the best week ever? Taylor Swift. Who's having the worst week ever? Carrie Prejean. Prejean appeared Wednesday night on Larry King Live in an interview that she apparently thought was to promote her book (watch her hold it up in the video). Instead Larry King grilled her on the terms of her settlement with the Miss USA pageant, causing Prejean to remove her mike and tell world-famous interviewer King, "You're being inappropriate."
Larry King asks a smile-pasted Prejean about suing the Miss USA organization and then their countersuit against her. "You accused [the pageant] of a number of things including religious discrimination," King says, "clearly an issue very important to you. Why did you settle? You don't have to tell me the terms of the settlement. But why settle, since you had a fight to carry on?"
Prejean answers, "Larry, everything that was discussed in mediation - I'll say it again - is completely confidential. I'm not going to be able to talk about that. So I'm just letting you know that ahead of time."
For a painful near-90 seconds, Larry King and Carrie Prejean play verbal volleyball over Prejean's refusal to answer King's questions regarding the legal battle between Prejean and the Miss USA organization. To divert the topic Larry King takes a phone call, to Prejean's dismay. "We're gonna have to leave," she mouths to her publicist, and she attempts to remove her microphone. A Detroit caller asks Prejean a question about what advice she would give to gay couples who want to get married, and a mikeless Prejean shares an awkward exchange with Larry King: "I can't hear you," she says.
Watch the video to see why Carrie Prejean can be pretty sure mainstream media personalities are going to stop calling her.
By the way, with all the press, Prejean's book doesn't appear to be moving from the shelves. We hope Regnery Press, her conservative publisher out of D.C., was conservative about their first print of the book.
