Though Miss USA has filled the void left by Noelia Voigt with the 2023 Miss USA pageant runner-up, Hawaii’s Savannah Gankiewicz, the pageant organization’s troubles appear to be far from over.
In a historic move earlier this month, Miss USA and Miss Teen USA titleholders both resigned. Miss Teen USA has not announced a replacement for UmaSofia Srivastava.
On May 15, their mothers, Jackeline Voigt and Barbara Srivastava, claimed in a “Good Morning America” interview that the Miss USA organization mistreated their daughters. “The job of their dreams turned out to be a nightmare,” Srivastava said, adding, “They were ill-treated, abused, bullied and cornered.”
The mothers called for Miss USA CEO and President Laylah Rose to resign, warning others to “really pay attention” to what happened to their daughters and stay away from the pageants.
Both pageants, which fall under the Miss Universe organization, took place in September 2023.
They were the first hosted by Rose after Miss USA 2008 Crystle Stewart stepped down from the position a month prior, nearly a year after she faced allegations of rigging the Miss USA 2022 competition.
