Trump issued a statement Wednesday saying he asked Carrie Prejean to leave for failing to honor her commitments as Miss California USA.
Pageant officials say Tami Farrell, the first runner-up to Prejean in the Miss California USA competition, will take over those responsibilities.
Prejean created controversy during the Miss USA competition, where she was first runner-up, when she answered a judge's question about gay marriage by saying marriage should be reserved for men and women.
Shanna Moakler, herself a former Miss USA, resigned as co-executive director of the Miss California pageant amid the controversy.
“I think she's a young girl, and I think she was thrown into the spotlight (after the Miss USA pageant), " Moakler told The Early Show last month. "I think she was not prepared. I think a lot of organizations latched onto her. They exploited her. They didn't prepare her. I think, you know, she's very honest when she says she never expected this.
"But at the same time, I think it's wrong to start screaming that you're being persecuted and then you go and align yourself with organizations like NOM that are particularly -- I consider them hate groups. (NOM is) the National Organization for Marriage,” which opposes same-sex marriage.
