When did you feel that something was amiss?
I did speak to Keith on Monday, so after I won I went home and it was late and I celebrated with my family. So the next day I called Keith and he was ecstatic, he said, "Hi Miss California, how are you feeling?” completely ready for me and what we're going to do for the year. I mean nothing, nothing about there could be possibly an accounting error, there could be possibly something wrong, nothing. So that was Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday I speak to Keith's assistants all those days, nothing, everything is great and dandy. They specifically called me on Thursday, "You need to come down today, you have to bring your parents, you're going to sign contracts." And I thought that was a little bizarre that they were very adamant about having my parents come with me. But I said, "Oh, well maybe they know that I'm very close to them or want them to be here to celebrate with me." So I went Thursday to Keith Lewis's house with the complete intention of signing a contract, look at the opportunities I'm going to have for the rest of the year, talking about me being Miss California USA and fulfilling my goals and duties as Miss California. And never would I have thought they were going to tell me you're not the real winner.
