Maybe this is not the right time to make light of such a subject, especially as we all know the kind of dream girls that go to these beauty pageants and how they take it so hard when they don't make it. However, one must know that actions always have consequences and the best thing that one can learn is to take full responsibility for them.
This is obviously not the case for former Miss Nevada Katie Rees, who was so unceremoniously stripped of her tiara and title in December 2006, after many racy photos of her surfaced on the Internet. True, she did apologize for them and she did say on more than one occasion that she probably shouldn't have made them, but her constantly laying the blame on Donald Trump (who co-own the Miss USA organization with NBC) is not going to win her back the title. Even more, she is risking being sued by The Donald who, we know very well, is not the man to let words harm his reputation.
After admitting that she was wrong when she took the photos (that show her simulating oral sex on women and one man, kissing girls and baring parts of her body that shouldn't normally appear on film unless it's X-rated), Katie went into full attack mode, blaming Trump for completely disregarding the fact that those photos did not represent who she was.
Probably forgetting that her dismissal was due to the fact that a Miss has certain standards that she must rise up to and a strict set of rules to which she has to obey, whether she likes it or not, Katie keeps blaming Donald for her fall from grace. A couple of days ago, she said: 'When I saw them I was just devastated. I was shocked. I'm not proud at all, but what is done is done, and all I can do is move forward. We were just out being goofy girls and celebrating. We had a few drinks, which I don't condone, but we were just having a good time. These are things that I didn't do during my reign as Miss Nevada. These are things that were done three years prior to knowing that I would be a public figure. I deserved that title. I deserved everything that it embodies and I worked hard for it. I don't see why these pictures change the person that I was when I won it.'

Now, she goes straight for Donald's throat, openly accusing him of holding double standards when it came to deciding whether she should keep her title or not. The term of comparison? Why, of course, Tara Conner's situation - when she was pardoned granted she checked into rehab.
'I feel like there was a huge double standard given. I asked for a second chance, and it wasn't given. I was not, and I am not, in rehab. I didn't test positive for illegal drugs, and I wasn't caught making out with Miss Teen USA. I admire him. I think he's a smart businessman. He did what he had to do; however, I do believe there was a double standard given. We were just a few silly girls having a good time, just taking a picture and people were egging us on.', Rees told 'Extra' yesterday.
If Trump doesn't sue her for these words (hell, he plans to sue talk show Rosie O'Donnell for less than that!), Katie will try and move on with her life. She will do everything to stay in the spotlight and to prove people (and Trump) that they were wrong when they judged her so easily. 'For now I'm just working on getting out of the mold of the bad girl. Because I am not a bad girl.', she concluded by saying.
'Staying in the spotlight' is exactly the catch phrase here, because that's what she is doing right now.
