Carrie Prejean's name has been removed as a key speaker at a conservative conference on family values in New Jersey, two days after news surfaced that the former Miss California -- controversial for her comments on gay mariage -- was the star of a sex tape, according to TMZ.

TMZ, which on Wednesday broke the news about the sex tape, today said it isn't clear whether the removal was prompted by Prejean or the New Jersey Family Policy Council, but added that, as of yesterday, Prejean's appearance was still on. Called Defenders of the Family, the conference occurs tonight.

The video in question -- reportedly a solo act, shot by an ex-boyfriend -- is said to have thwarted a lawsuit Prejean had filed against Miss California USA organizers.

Her beef with the pageant stems back to April, when she sparked a media firestorm with her comments about gay marriage.

In June, the pageant took away her Miss California crown, saying she had failed to appear at more than 30 events she was supposed to attend.

Prejean responded with a lawsuit against Miss California USA organizers, claiming religious discrimination on the part of the pageant.

Not long after, the Miss California producers fired back with a suit of their own, claiming she failed to repay them for a loan covering her breast-implant surgery.
