Tara Conner Admits to Cocaine Use

Miss USA Tara Conner reveals in a new interview with Matt Lauer that she has used drugs, telling the "Today" host, "I have done cocaine, yeah."

She also says in the interview, airing Thursday, that she's taken antidepressants and other drugs that triggered an allergic reaction. "I've tried several different things. But, you know, it's always the same effect," she tells Lauer. "The more that I get it off my chest, the better I feel about myself. It's not healthy for my recovery to sit here and hold things back."

"She is not allowed to go to clubs anymore … and she has a lot of new rules for going out," a source told the Post. A spokesperson for the Miss USA organization said, "Plans to move to a bigger apartment with a chaperone have been in the works for months, and Tara is free to go wherever she wants." Conner, now 21, was evaluated last month because of a few too many late nights out on the town in New York City, where she is said to have engaged in underage drinking. At the time, local newspapers reported that Conner tested positive for cocaine.

NBC says that in her interview Conner will discuss her rehab stint in detail and she'll talk about a possible appearance in "Playboy" magazine. Conner also admitted to being an alcoholic to People magazine.

All I can say is Wow! Isn't Miss USA supposed to be a role model? Could've fooled me.
