Miss North Carolina USA Stripped of Crown Over Past Comments

Organizers have stated that the decision to strip Brittany Boltinhouse of her Miss North Carolina USA crown was due to her past objectionable speech. They specified that it was not related to her conservative views or Christian beliefs.

• A Blaize Productions made clear that the decision was not based on Boltinhouse’s political or religious beliefs.
• The organization emphasizes diversity in backgrounds, political views, and personal beliefs.

Brittany Boltinhouse, 27, expressed her belief that her political and religious stance contributed to losing her title. She is affiliated with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Her victory in the pageant was short-lived as her online posts came under scrutiny. Boltinhouse maintained her pride in being a conservative Christian and a devoted citizen. She considers the setback as a challenge she can overcome.

The organization cited her past online comments, using offensive language, as incompatible with the values expected of a titleholder. Miss USA’s leadership stated they do not tolerate discriminatory language and behavior, emphasizing a titleholder’s responsibility to uphold standards.

Following these events, the Miss North Carolina USA title was awarded to Myla Hadley, the first runner-up, who will compete in the Miss USA pageant.

Boltinhouse reflected on her past mistakes, suggesting that everyone makes errors during their youth. She highlighted her achievement in earning the title in part due to her character.

She reiterated her right to express her conservative views, emphasizing the importance of freedom of expression in the country.
