Fallen pageant queen Carrie Prejean isn't finished playing the blame game.
The former Miss California's lawyer, Charles LiMandri, is going on the offensive against state pageant organization and director Keith Lewis, claiming to E! News that Lewis plotted Prejean's downfall by knowingly sending her lists of events and opportunities that were beyond the typical expected duties.
"There was really a lack for trust and a lack of respect," LiMandri says. "He was trying to set her up. Keith Lewis and Shanna Moakler wanted her out, pure and simple. They finally found a way to get their way."
Lewis, who tells E! News he has already "moved on" from the scandal, has said that Prejean skipped out on upward of 30 appearances and that her inability to live up to the terms of her contract was the reason she was fired.
As for that Playboy spread and Prejean's possibilities for legal and tell-all vindication?
Thieves Raid Rachel Bilson's Closet

Rachel Bilson is experiencing a fashionista's worst nightmare: a burglar raiding her closet.
The O.C. starlet was in Canada with fiancé Hayden Christensen when the robbery of her home in Los Angeles was identified, Bilson's rep, Marcel Pariseau, tells E! News.
"She's been out of town, but it was discovered on the 8th of this month," he says. "A police report was filed on that day by her mom, but, because she was out of town, she needs to put the list [of what's missing] together to submit to police and her insurance." (Neither Los Angels police or sheriff's department had been notified as of press time.)
Between the designer duds and pieces of jewelry—some of which were family heirlooms with sentimental value—the monetary value of all the missing items will be frighteningly high.
