Beauty Queen Reportedly in Racy Pic
Jade Kelsall, the reigning Miss Nevada, went on Facebook and posted a racy photo of herself and porn legend Ron Jeremy simulating a sex act at a bar, sources told the Las Vegas Review Journal.
The alleged photo has since been removed from Kelsall's page.
Shanna Moakler, executive director of Miss Nevada USA, said Kelsall isn't at risk of losing her crown.
"The Miss Nevada USA organization stands behind Jade Kelsall 100 percent and has no intentions of removing her crown, there is no photo considered salacious or scandalous to our knowledge and we are saddened to see a poor attempt to berate a young woman who has represented her state so proudly," Moakler said in a statement to ABCNews.com.
Kelsall may be safe, but this certainly isn't the first time racy photos have embarrassed beauty queens and in some cases, cost them their titles.
Actress Vanessa Williams was crowned Miss America in 1984, but was stripped of her title after nude modeling photos she took before her reign appeared in a magazine.
In 2008, embarrassing photos surfaced of Miss Washington, Elyse Umemoto. She claimed the pictures of her "clowning around" were stolen. She was allowed to continue her reign.
In 2009, Miss California USA, Carrie Prejean, was investigated after photos of her nearly nude and with her back to the camera surfaced online.
Donald Trump, owner of the Miss USA organization, said Prejean could keep her crown. One month later, Prejean was stripped of her title for "contract violations."
The beauty queen later sued the organization and settled for undisclosed terms.
