Former Miss California Carrie Prejean abruptly dropped her $1 million lawsuit against the Miss USA Pageant after lawyers for pageant officials played an unreleased sex tape in which she engaged in a variety of solo sex acts, says TMZ.com. Prejean agreed to drop the suit, which claimed religious discrimination and libel, just moments after the lawyers played the tape for both Prejean and her mother. Prejean had charged that pageant officials stripped her of her state crown because she was a Christian who had publicly expressed religious objections to gay marriage.
