New Miss California crowned after mix-up

"Everything's inaccurate and it's not consistent," Silva told Ellen DeGeneres during an "Ellen" show broadcast Thursday. "All I could do was shake and cry, just cry in my mom's arms."
Beezley's mother Christine Parrish said she was upset about speculation her daughter, was bumped up because she appears less ethnic. "I heard somebody calling her a whitey! It's sad," she said, noting that Beezley is one-fourth Filipino, had won a pageant in Mazatlan, Mexico, and judged a pageant in the Phillipines.
Beezley, who hid her shaking hands behind a desk after being crowned, was disappointed that she and Silva would be lumped in with other scandals in Trump's pageant empire.
"The thing is, we didn't do anything wrong," she said. "We're both innocent in this case. It's crazy."
Beezley, who attends Barstow Community College, will represent California in April in the Miss USA pageant, and hopes to become a correspondent for "Access Hollywood."
There was also a happy ending for Silva. DeGeneres crowned her Miss Ellen and gave her a yearlong modeling contract and year's worth of styling by Ken Paves or Prive hair salons.
