Miss Nevada Replaced

Katie Rees, Miss Nevada USA, was officially replaced after scandalous photos of her hit the net.


The Miss Nevada USA website has been updated to show First Runner-up (and insanely tan) Helen Salas as the current crown-holder, with a statement saying that Rees "has been relieved of her duties."

The salaciously entertaining photos showed Rees exposing herself inside a Tampa Bar, Fletcher's Backstreet Grill, and outside of a nearby audio system company, Donovan Audio Designs Inc.

Donovan issued a statement on their website distancing themselves from the racy photos, saying, "There is no denying that these pictures were taken in front of our old office. However there were a number of pictures depicting a rather wild party as well. These pictures were not taken inside Donovan Audio's offices, nor did the parties occur there."

Though she's said little in a public forum, Rees' MySpace page holds a telling Bob Marley quote, "who are you to judge the life i live? i know i'm not perfect - and i don't have to be, but before you start pointing fingers, make sure your hands are clean."

47. Questions

1) Is she the typical American Female today?
2) Or is she the exception to the rule?
3) Is she the typical Nevada woman?
4) Typical person in/from Nevada?
5) People in the limelight . . . are they entitled to do as they please . . . or is the price of that spotlight . . . that we get to scrutinize every aspect of their life and highlight their every flaw and failing?

Welcome to the real world . . . it may be different than your expectations.

48. BTW . . . when were those photos posted?

If these photos were taken when she was 19, and she's 22 now, the photos have existed for years.

How did they get past the pagents' (as in ALL the pagents) investigators?

49. So WHAT if "sexy photos" were taken of Miss Nevada? Is there something about some woman Miss [State} or Miss America which has a presumption that the woman is a Vestal Virgin?

This is just another example of America's cultural hypocrisy regarding sex.

51. I think it's absolutely ridiculous that people get on forums, such as TMZ.com, and say the most ridiculous things about people they don't even know. I've known Katie personally for well over a year now.

For the obvious reasons above, and being professionally involved with many of the people affected by this "scandal," I can assure you that things aren't always as they seem. Do you honestly think that pictures of Katie partying when she was 19 are just hanging out all over the place waiting for someone to find? Of course not.

In reality, a lot of people (specifically those benefiting from the scandal) have literally spent weeks collecting and aggressively seeking anything that might be considered damaging to Katie. Before they found what they found, 3 days ago, they even went so far as to try and claim that Katie was a prostitute because of completely innocent pictures of her with celebrities, and ended up launching a ridiculous police investigation against another friend of mine as a result. Seriously??

Whether Katie is fit to be Miss Nevada is obviously up to the pageant director to decide, but I would ask that complete strangers, who know nothing more of the situation than what they read in the news, to consider the quote mentioned from Katie's MySpace page. Don't judge unless you are fit to. And remember what I said above, things aren't always as they seem.

If the justification for your foul remarks about someone you don't know is merely the pictures, believe me, by personally living in Las Vegas and working in the nightlife industry, I can assure you that the vast majority of the girls that visit here aren't entirely above taking (a seemingly) scandalous picture or two once they've had a drink in them. All of them are someone's sister, daughter, friend, or girlfriend. Maybe even yours?

With respect,

52. Ok...(big yawn) These fotos lost their shock value days ago. What I want for Christmas is another big scandal (preferably something involving bestiality or children) so we can all move on and leave this poor kid alone.

56. Mr Colton:

By contributing to the post, arent you infact engaging in what you call ridiculous. Frankly its time for people who read TMZ and comment on the stories to stop the nonsense of judging those who frequent these forums. You are here, with the rest of us, that makes part of TMZ .

A picture tells a thousand stories, no one placed this young woman in the pictures, she was there and engaged in what we can clearly see. If she was gagged and bound and forced to perform, we would also note that.

She is by no means an evil person for her actions, however her character potrayed in the photos, opposed what she had claimed to be.....a woman of good character and a role model to all young women. Some bloody a**holes made the societal rules, she accepted those rules by potraying herself as Miss Goodie two shoes Nevada. She should be the one thinking of the digrace to her family, we just comment on what TMZ gives us irrespective of wether the person is human or Thetan with relationships..they are the ones that should have considered their loved ones before behaving with such sheer stupdity.

Do you think we will all be shocked to see Jenna Jameson in these pics, no!! simply because she didnt pretend to be part of the mainstream society and chose to make the most out of what she knows to do best. I advise your bloody Ms Nevada to seek advise from Jenna and stop giving it away for free..What a total lame Ass...she could be making tons in B rated Porn movies..

57. STUPDITY... is that really a word??? (I can't believe I wasted time reading that post).

58. You want to taste your p***y Mmmmm.Here now taste mine.

59. Leave her alone!!!! The other bi--c got to keep her crown! The only difference is Miss Nevada chose not to suck the d--k that could have helped her too... Vanessa Williams would be turning over in her grave if she were dead!!!!!!! I'd rather a woman that posed nude to attempt to be a role modle vs a cocaine head whore! Go figure

60. Mr. Colton,

I agree, when alcohol is involved or you are 19 and running around Vegas...there could be a picture or 2 of some silliness or nonsense, etc...BUT her pictures are very, very vulgar, disgusting and vile .... basically soft porn ....

cry me a river....................
