Katie Rees

On 20 December 2006, allegations of Rees exhibiting raunchy behaviour in a Florida nightclub were made, and several photographs of Rees exposing her left nipple, kissing and licking other women, and simulating sexual acts were released to the media.

Las Vegas news station KVBC reported that the investigation into Rees began after several photographs of Rees appeared on the MySpace page of Tiffany Masters, who according to the station promotes “legitimate escort services” called “Vegas Arm Charms” and “VIP Eye Candy.” How Masters obtained the photographs and what her relationship is to Rees has not been established.

On 21 December 2006, Rees was stripped of her crown by the Miss Universe Organization with the approval of pageant co-owner Donald Trump. She was succeeded by pageant first runner-up Helen Salas, who represented Nevada in the Miss USA 2007 pageant in March.
