That Miss California crown may be still firmly affixed to her head, but controversy won't stop swirling around Carrie Prejean and her family.
Valerie Vetrano, an openly gay sales rep from Corona, Calif., claims she had a lesbian relationship with Prejean's mom, Francine Coppola.
"<span style="font-weight: bold">I did date her," she told ABCNews.com Wednesday evening. "I'm not going to deny it, but I'm not going to say anything else." </span>
Vetrano, whose connection to Coppola was first reported by Star magazine, declined to comment on how long their relationship lasted but confirmed it ended "a couple weeks before Carrie Prejean was in the Miss USA competition."
According to an unnamed friend quoted by Star, Coppola's family knew nothing of her affair, although during her 1996 divorce from the beauty queen's father, Wil Prejean, both parties made gay allegations against the other.
