Why are pageant queens resigning? Miss USA controversy explained

In the span of a week, three women who won titles within the Miss USA organization last year have stepped away from their crowns.

Noelia Voigt, the 24-year-old former Miss USA 2023, announced her resignation on Instagram May 6.

Noelia Voight, 24, quit being Miss USA

She wrote that she was [being silenced and] choosing to focus on her mental health.

Within days, former Miss USA Teen 2023 UmaSofia Srivastava, 17, and former Miss Colorado USA 2023 Arianna Lemus, 26, both stepped down, as well.

Miss Universe Organization owns Miss USA and Miss USA Teen. The organization shared similar messages after Voight and Srivastava’s resignations, thanking them for their “service,” and that it “respects and supports” the pageant queen’s decision.

The organization did not comment on Lemus’ resignation.

Savannah Gankiewicz, former Miss Hawaii USA and first runner-up in the 2023 Miss USA competition, took over Voigt’s position, but said she stands in solidarity with the initial winner.

Stephanie Skinner, former Miss Teen New York and runner-up for Miss USA Teen 2023, declined the title because she didn’t want to “give up (her) character,” she revealed to People. Read on for more on the string of resignations. More
