Miss USA 2023 Noelia Voigt and Miss Teen USA 2023 UmaSofia Srivastava resigned citing issues with the Miss USA organization, including mismanagement and a hostile work environment. Voigt revealed a toxic culture under CEO Laylah Rose, claiming it impacted her mental health and restricted her public appearances and communication. The organization's response has been minimal, with high turnover and support from past contestants and state directors calling for more transparency and freedom for the titleholders.
