According to PEOPLE.com, Moakler initially offered support to Prejean, 21, after controversy about Prejean's views on same-sex marriage and a topless photo were deemed acceptable behavior by Trump.
But on Wednesday, Moakler, who is a former Miss USA titleholder herself, issued a statement to the Miss USA Organization saying, "I cannot with a clear conscience move forward supporting and promoting the Miss Universe Organization when I no longer believe in it."
Moakler is also known for being the on-again, off-again wife of Blink-182's Travis Barker. The couple starred in the MTV reality series "Meet the Barkers."

Twitterers mostly supported Moakler's move, but some didn't agree:
