Winning the title of beauty pageant is the dream of beauties all over the world. This win brings together many possibilities. For some, the door to start a film career is also opened.
In this case, if a young woman resigns after winning the beauty pageant crown, it is certainly a matter of surprise. A day after Miss USA 2023 Noila Vet resigned, Uma Sofia Srivastava of Indian-Mexican origin has relinquished the Miss Teen USA title.
According to a copy of the resignation letter obtained by NBC News on Thursday, he alleges that the Pageant CEO failed to take incidents of sexual harassment seriously and to create an environment that prevented toxic behavior.
“I was constantly being threatened with disciplinary action, taking away my salary, not discussing it. This is also a scary thing,’ wrote Vet in her resignation letter. However, the representative of Miss USA Organization has not given any response about this.
She has mentioned in her resignation letter the description of the incident of sexual harassment organized in Florida during Christmas. She has the experience of being left alone in a car with a man and being pressured into a relationship. Although she is committed to the Miss USA brand, she says that her mental state is constantly deteriorating.
The complaints of both the resigned beauties are that the pageant manager abused them. Miss USA has recently become controversial for various reasons. There is also an allegation of favoring a certain competitor.
This is the first time in the history of Miss America that the winner of the title resigned.
