Miss North Carolina USA, Brittany Boltinhouse, has been dethroned due to a recent controversy. The decision was made by pageant organizers after a thorough review of recently surfaced information.
The runner-up, Myla Hadley, will take Boltinhouse’s place at the 75th annual Miss USA pageant on August 27. Pageant organizers did not specify what Boltinhouse did to have her title removed, but stated that the organization does not tolerate racism, homophobia, transphobia, or language that strips any person of their dignity.
Statement from Pageant Organizers
Thom Brodeur, the chairman of Miss USA, said that holding someone accountable is not permission to strip someone of their humanity. He also stated that Boltinhouse would issue her own statement on the matter soon.
