Miss California Carrie Prejean could be stripped of her title after organisers say she breached her contract by keeping topless photos secret.
In April Ms Prejean made headlines at the Miss USA beauty pageant with her outspoken opposition to gay marriage, which she says cost her that title.
Miss California USA Carrie Prejean has assured pageant officials that a lingerie modeling photo published online this week is the only one she posed for, the state pageant director said.
But the Web site that published the first picture said it has several more that it will “slowly roll out” starting Wednesday afternoon.
The possibility that racier images could emerge prompted “closed-door meetings” Tuesday to consider stripping Prejean of her beauty queen title, pageant spokesman Ron Neal said.
Apart from not being up front over the semi-nude pictures which appeared on an internet site, organisers of the Miss California USA pageant say Carrie Prejean also breached her contract by appearing unauthorised in commercials.
Although Neal said Prejean “breached her contract” by keeping the semi-nude photo or photos a secret, the only picture published so far appears about as revealing as the bikini Prejean wore in the pageant’s swimsuit competition.
She described the publication of the pictures as an attempt to "openly mock me for my Christian faith".
"I am a Christian, and I am a model. Models pose for pictures, including lingerie and swimwear photos," she said.
Last week Ms Prejean announced that she would star in new $1.5m ad campaign funded by the National Organization for Marriage, a group that is opposed to same-sex marriage.
