Donald Trump, Miss Pennsylvania: ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ Star Earns More Than $1M From Sheena Monnin Defamation Lawsuit

Looks like that old saying is true: the rich just get richer! TMZ reports that everyone's favorite (?) billionaire, Donald Trump, just earned himself more than $1 million from the recent defamation lawsuit that Miss Pennsylvania, Sheena Monnin, brought upon the Celebrity Apprentice star.

From what the gossip site claims, the former Miss Pennsylvania had a beef with Trump after she lost the Miss USA Pageant... mainly because she says it was rigged. She claimed to see a list of the top 5 before the judges had their choices at the finalists.

Following the allegation, she was slapped with a $5 million judgment for "falsely claiming" the contest was staged.

TMZ goes on to state that Miss Pennsylvania isn't too happy because "she claims for a variety of reasons her lawyer committed malpractice." Therefore, she sued him for an amount greater than $1 million and struck a deal with Trump for more than that.

So, in the end, who won? While Monnin was able to keep some of the money she received from her lawyer, she did have to fork some over to the once-upon-a-time man who was known as a legit businessman. So, well, yeah, Trump got his money... so he probably won.

And, we can't forget, as TMZ states, "someone else is Miss USA."

We were hoping Trump would mention the case on his Twitter feed, but it appears he's too busy slamming some other matters surrounding the country –– mainly politics and his incredible disdain towards President Barack Obama. Curious? Hop on over to his Twitter account.
