Last week, dethroned beauty queen Carrie Prejan dropped her $1 million lawsuit against the Miss California pageant when lawyers uncovered a sex tape of her having some solo fun. But now she tells The TODAY Show that she “was not having sex” in the tape, and she has come out with a new book explaining that the whole debacle is a campaign to silence her views. Check out her interview:

“It was me by myself, there was no one else with me, I was not having sex,” Prejan said of the infamous tape, which she made when she was 17-years-old. “I sent it to my boyfriend at the time. I was a teenager. I cared about him, I trusted him.” Though she downplayed the tape’s salacious nature, she did admit it was “the biggest mistake of her life” and that “young people can learn from this.” 

“The main point is that there has been a campaign against me to try and silence me for the past seven months,” she continued. Prejan has published a new book in an attempt to break that silence; Still Standing: The Untold Story of My Fight Against Gossip, Hate and Political Attacks which hit bookshelves yesterday. “Americans believe that their beliefs are under attack, and this is proof,” she said.

Although I don’t agree with Prejan’s opinions about gay marriage, the majority of Californians do, as evidenced by the passing of Proposition 8 last year. However, Prejan’s situation seems to be no longer about gay marriage, but about free speech.
