Carrie Prejean Blames Firing On Marriage Opinion
Popsquire smells another lawsuit today, and it wreaks of Carrie Prejean.
Prejean told Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush that she ultimately was fired because of her opinion on gay marriage:
“It’s just because of my answer, I think…None of this would be happening right now if I just said, Yeah, gays should get married. You’re right, Perez Hilton.”
If she can prove this, Prejean may have a legal case. It’s against California law to terminate employees for their political opinions. For example, California Labor Code section 1102 states:
“No employer shall coerce or influence or attempt to coerce or influence his employees through or by means of threat of discharge or loss of employment to adopt or follow or refrain from adopting or following any particular course or line of political action or political activity.”
On the other hand, if Prejean failed to honor her contract, the Miss California USA organization might have a solid defense.
Popsquire will keep you posted!
