North Carolina Miss USA Crown Revoked Ahead of Miss USA Pageant
Brittany Boltinhouse was stripped of the Miss North Carolina USA crown after a thorough review of information that surfaced, with organizers citing conduct over an extended period and a duty to preserve the title’s integrity. Runner-up Myla Hadley will represent North Carolina at the Miss USA pageant in Miami, where the winner advances to Miss Universe in November. Boltinhouse apologized, and the Miss USA organization reiterated zero tolerance for racism, homophobia, transphobia, and demeaning language.
