Firebrand beauty queen Carrie Prejean admitted on Monday that she had made an "all by myself" sex tape for an old flame when she was a teenager, telling FOX News' Sean Hannity that it qualifies as the "worst mistake of my life."Prejean was sitting with Hannity to chat about her new book, 'Still Standing,' but couldn't escape the R-rated scandal that emerged last week after she abruptly settled a lawsuit with the Miss California USA organization.
"I was all by myself. I was sending my boyfriend at the time, who I loved and cared about, a video of me," she said. "I was a teenager at the time and never did I ever think it would come out." Watch:
"When you're young, you think, This is the one," Prejean continued while trying to justify her reasoning at the time for making the video. "Never did I think it would come and just slap me right in the face."
The former Miss California USA chalks it up as "bad judgment. It's embarrassing. It's humiliating to be talking about this on national TV, if you can imagine."
Last week, TMZ reported that Prejean dropped her $1 million demand from the Miss California organization after they showed her a copy of the tape. TMZ says they obtained the tape months ago but opted out of of running it because it was "too racy."
In her book, Prejean slams pornography for becoming "mainstreamed" in society. "It rushes at us through big screens, portable screens; soft-core porn is on mainstream TV cable stations, hard-core porn is just a mouse click away on the Internet, and the envelope of what seems acceptable seems to get pushed farther and farther as more and more people are exposed to this material."
