Kelley weathered the weeklong storm by fielding increasingly aggressive questions in TV interviews. "You just spend your time digging up ugliness about people," one audience member scolded on Sally Jessy Raphael. "I don't know how you sleep at night."

The pair, who complain of sniping by envious rivals, recently lost their Miss California Teen-USA franchise when the agreement came up for renewal. They retaliated with a breach-of-contract lawsuit against the parent firm, Miss Universe Inc. The company denies any ill intent toward the two. But Holt wonders, "Was it jealousy? There...
