On Wednesday, 17-year-old Miss Teen USA UmaSofia Srivastava - formerly Miss New Jersey Teen USA - also quit, saying in a statement that her personal values “no longer fully align with the direction of the organization.”
Insiders tell The Post Voigt and Srivastava have been wearing thorny crowns for months - forced by iron-clad contracts to silently smile despite “harmful workplace conditions.”

So sad for both ladies having to deal with this. I am glad they did this but feel bad for what they are going through.

[@Carmen-.-]

Bullies are riddled with jealousy and the truly beautiful don’t feel the need to deal with the nonsense…

[@0neandOnlyyy]

And Miss Teen now has a restraining order against Layla Rose....that speaks volumes

[@PracticalPerry]

Is that true?

[@brooklynusa670]

So stereotypical of her mom sadly

[@chewie94116]

Layla Rose (CEO of the Miss USA pageant)- I am the supreme ruler. You do what I say. If you disagree, I will punish and you will wish you never met me. PURE EVIL.

[@xyzabc9213]

Thom Brodeur needs to be investigated. He didn’t get the USA franchise so he launched a crusade against Laylah and he probably poisoned the minds of the Miss and Teen to go against Laylah.

When people said " Actually women was ruined by another women " is true , when most pageants owned by men , those days were the golden era of beauty contests. When Trump owned Miss Universe and when Eric Morley lead Miss World , those were the years when people got fascinated to know who's this year Miss Universe and Miss World , today nobody give a care ...

[@unicorn8802]

Wow that org director’s photo is a major catfish LOL

[@UrangooOtgonbayar-pq3ii]

Close this organization!

[@cesarflores6890]

More likely fire the entire staff! The Organization needs to rebuild!

[@xyzabc9213]

Why? And deprive the 2024 class of competing and get national exposure? Idiot

[@XtianJade]

Bullies have a lot of insecurities that's why they behave the way they do. The truth is, bullies are weak and their insecurities lead them to target people they know they can't beat nor aspire to be. They are not even half the person the people they bully.

[@Dakota-xi6cg]

FIRE THAT CEO!

[@brianajordan9818]

How is it your top priority when you did not allow any of these women to speak freely. You wanted them to shut up and do what is told.

[@jorgeespinosa3179]

If anything, these events should be phased out. The modern woman is insulted to be judged on beauty and figure alone.

[@rayj5091]

Anyone following would know that they was paying for their own wardrobe to attend the organization events... They was also booking their own events... The organization cast them aside and is focusing more on Miss Universe.... The Thai owner has no interest in the Miss USA and Miss Teen USA pageant

[@msk.7878]

Have we forgotten about miss USA suicide ? She was so beautiful inside and out. They destroyed her

[@ravenstone366]

Fire the CEO actually its the CEOS toxic a d hatred for herself is either jealous, dislikes herself and projecting it outwardly..

[@xyzabc9213]

And do you know the entire truth of what happened?

[@whathandleUtalkabt]

Just close up the institutions. All of them.

[@kaidanalenko5222]

No, it is business, entertainment to be exact.

[@rachelplows3001]

They need to start over from scratch.​@@kaidanalenko5222

[@rosemilan3149]

There are lots of pageant systems and most of them are not like this at all.

[@torcik]

Don Snoreleone was a pagent organizer so he could get some nookie

[@Shaolin91z]

Thanks Lord for your peace Thanks Lord for your salvation Thanks Lord for bible study class Psalm 125

[@martytube821]

Everybody is a victim of something any more!

[@newinhuman]

this exist for a reason, we didnt do anything ivanka trump isnt involved at all i swear those are not her kids

[@jekhethousen6998]

They r bullied because both of them are from outside country

[@hmmmelloooo7248]

Way more beautiful girls in public than those two!

[@rosemilan3149]

That’s not the point 🤦‍♀️

[@remstew7517]

1:12 she clearly has a chip on her shoulder: she would never meet the height requirements and now she’s seeking revenge. She needs to let it go. These resignations are her failure, not theirs. She’s getting in her own way and hurting others in the process.

[@slsmith5267]

Time to end these outdated contests.

[@tosh_kiba]

HALLU UNIVERSE

[@johnhoran9840]

Everything Woke turns to $^#!.

[@manfromthepast]

😂😂whatever

[@Neppy1414]

pageants 😂😂😂😂😂

[@calicatus7556]

I recent the fact that the 24-year-old Miss USA has had so much plastic surgery and fillers that she looks like she's 38 and like a Kardashian. Miss USA should be naturally beautiful.

[@johnjones5354]

Gen Z. Even being "Miss America" is to much work.

[@mc1993]

Maybe it's the inclusivity part they take issue with.

[@cherylynnhanna6346]

Miss America is a completely different organization. And alot has been going on in Miss USA since that transgender took over Miss Universe. There just seems to be alot of disorganization and confusion

[@munchezfonataba]

I assumed physical and mental abuse played a part. There's a higher power than the CEO, who abuses both ladies. They call it out as bullying to avoid being profiled. I smell something suspicious. 🤔🤔🤔

[@eddiearmijo6635]

MAGA IMMUNITY.

[@francescadac6082]

Fire Ms. Rose! Boycott watching the show until these vile people are fired!
