A woman whose Miss California USA title was taken away due to a vote-tabulation error has requested that the court drop her lawsuit against the Miss Universe pageant and Miss California USA, a Miss Universe lawyer said Wednesday.
Shelly Gopaul said Miss Universe LLP was no longer being sued by Christina Silva, but declined to comment on whether a settlement was reached.
It was not immediately clear whether the court had granted Silva’s request to also drop Miss California USA from the lawsuit. A message left with the pageant’s production company was not immediately returned Wednesday night.
Silva, 24, was crowned Miss California USA in November 2007. Three days later, pageant officials told her a volunteer accountant erred while tabulating the votes during the pageant. Another contestant was subsequently crowned.
