Donald Trump has won a $5 million legal victory against Sheena Monnin, the ex-Miss Pennsylvania beauty who claimed that the Miss USA competition was rigged.
In June, Trump's Miss Universe Organization sued Monnin for defamation after she alleged that the top five pageant finishers were selected before the show even began.
Now, a former judge ' acting an an arbitrator ' has ruled that the beauty queen did in fact defame the organization, and awarded it $5 million in damages.
Trump released a statement saying, 'We cannot allow a disgruntled contestant to make false and reckless statements which are damaging to the many people who have devoted their hearts and souls to the Miss Universe, Miss USA and Miss Teen USA pageant systems.'
The mogul added, 'While I feel very badly for Sheena, she did the wrong thing. She was really nasty, and we had no choice. It is an expensive lesson for her.'
