Former Miss Pennsylvania  Sheena Monnin, who was sued by Donald Trump after she called his Miss USA pageant "fraudulent" has lost big time in court.

Monnin will have to pay Donald Trump and the pageant $5 million for defamation after a federal judge upheld an arbitrator's decision that she would have to pony up.

Although Monnin had pleaded the ruling would "financially devastate" her, the judge wrote on Tuesday that she didn't take the case seriously enough and was "woefully unaware of...the consequences."
