MIAMI - In an unprecedented event, the Miss USA and Miss Teen USA titles are currently vacant, the first time in the pageant's 72-year history that such a scenario takes place. This development follows the resignations of 2023 titleholders Noelia Voigt and UmaSofia Srivastava, who stepped down in a few days' span.
Venezuelan American Voigt, now-former 2023 Miss USA, cited "mental health reasons" for her departure earlier this week. Shortly after, Mexican Indian American Srivastava, Miss Teen USA, also resigned, delivering a short statement regarding her departure.
