Tami Farrell, the first runner-up of 2009 Miss California USA Pageant, could be crowned as Miss California 2009. Carie Prejean, the title winner, would probably be stripped of her tiara once she proved having violated the contract of Miss California USA Organization. If so, Tami is Carie’s replacement.
CNN is saying Shanna Moakler, the co-executive director of the organization, will meet with Tami Farrel, “to discuss the possible next steps.”
Tami Farrell, full name Tami Nicole Farrell, sometimes is misspelled as Tami Farrel, or Tamy Farrell. Born in October, 1984, Tami is a beauty queen originally hailed from Phoenix, Oregon. She won her first title, Miss Oregon Teen USA in 2002 and later became Miss Teen USA 2003.
After she retired as Miss Teen USA in 2004, Tami Farrel moved to Los Angeles, CA to pursue a career in the entertainment industry. She attended the summer intensive program of the New York School for Film and Television in 2005 in New York City.
In 2008, Tami Farrel won the title of Miss Malibu USA 2009 and competed at the 2009 Miss California USA Pageant where she finished as first runner up to the winner Carrie Prejean.
Carrie Prejean became the center of controversy since she expressed her anti-gay stance on Miss USA 2009 Pageant in April. These days Prejean became a campaigner for the anti-homosexual marriage group National Organization for Marriage, and her semi-nude photo was exposed. “As you can see from the contract, she violated multiple items,” Miss California USA Pageant spokesman Roger Neal said in an e-mail to The Associated Press.
