<p id=”par-8_28″>The 2024 Miss USA pageant comes a few months after Miss USA 2023 Noelia Voigt stepped down in May 2024. Miss Teen USA 2023 UmaSofia Srivastava resigned soon after.</p>

<p id=”par-9_32″>In Voigt’s resignation letter, she described the Miss USA organization as a “toxic work environment … that, at best, is poor management and, at worst, is bullying and harassment,” <a href=”https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/miss-usa-resignation-letter-toxic-work-culture-rcna151582″ target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>NBC News</a> reported. </p>

<p id=”par-10_37″>Voigt said the organization did not respond appropriately when she reported an incident of sexual harassment. Voigt also accused Miss USA CEO and President Laylah Rose of “weaponizing” the mental health issues she’d faced since being crowned.</p>

<p id=”par-11_18″>Miss USA initially responded to Voigt’s resignation with an <a href=”https://www.instagram.com/p/C6oN3xnrNQh/?hl=en” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Instagram</a> post that did not directly address her allegations. </p>

<p id=”par-12_34″>“We respect and support Noelia’s decision to step down from her duties,” it read. “The well-being of our titleholders is a top priority, and we understand her need to prioritize herself at this time.”</p>

<p id=”par-13_23″>In an <a href=”https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/an-open-letter-from-ceo-laylah-rose-on-miss-usa-302158718.html” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>open letter</a> published on May 30, Rose wrote that the “allegations of sexual harassment, toxic environment and bullying are not true.”</p>

<p id=”par-14_63″>The latest controversy came after several years of negative publicity for the Miss USA pageant, from its association with <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/vanderpump-rules-donald-trump-put-end-raquel-leviss-pageant-career.html/”>former owner Donald Trump</a> to claims that past president Crystle Stewart had rigged the 2022 competition in favor of winner R’Bonney Gabriel. Gabriel went on to win the 2022 Miss Universe pageant. She was the first American woman to hold the title since 2012.   </p>
