Brittany Boltinhouse, the winner of the Miss North Carolina USA pageant, was stripped of her crown due to her past online posts. The pageant organizers stated that the decision was made after a careful review of her past conduct and public content, which was deemed inconsistent with the standards expected of a titleholder.
Organizers’ Statement
The organizers of the pageant released a statement saying that their decision was not based on Boltinhouse’s conservative Christian values or her political views, but rather on the totality of the circumstances surrounding her past behavior. The statement emphasized that the organization values diversity and welcomes individuals from various backgrounds and beliefs.
Boltinhouse, a 27-year-old member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, claimed that she was stripped of her title due to her faith and conservative values. She stated that she is proud of her faith and will never compromise her beliefs. The first runner-up, Myla Hadley, will now represent North Carolina at the Miss USA pageant.
