Mothers of Former Miss USA & Teen USA Recount Their “Nightmare” Experiences
In a statement to ABC News, The Miss USA Organization shared, “We are committed to fostering a healthy, communicative and supportive environment for all contestants, state titleholders, national titleholders and staff.”
The statement concluded by expressing concerns about the safety of future Miss Universe Organization title holders, stating, “Every statement you have ever put out about MUO’s morals and integrity directly contradicts what is happening within the USA organization.”
While Noelia expressed her gratitude for her time as Miss USA in her statement on social media, her resignation letter to the organization, obtained by NBC News on May 9, offered a much more candid reflection of her experience.
Described as an eight-page letter by the outlet, it detailed “a toxic work environment within the Miss USA Organization that, at best, is poor management and, at worst, is bullying and harassment.”
