"Longtime pageant coach and judge Thom Brodeur announced Thursday on Instagram that he is acquiring the Miss USA and Miss Teen USA brands and referred to himself as the organization's chairman, president, and CEO. "With a 10-year exclusive license, a powerhouse team, and a clear vision, I'm ready to modernize, revitalize, and reignite two of the most iconic brands in American pageantry," Brodeur's caption reads. "History is being made - and I'm inviting you to be part of shaping it.""
"Miss USA 2023 Noelia Voigt and Miss Teen USA 2023 UmaSofia Srivastava both relinquished their titles in the middle of their reigns, marking the first time a queen had given up her crown in the pageant's 72-year history. The pageant queens couldn't speak out due to strict nondisclosure agreements, but their mothers Jackeline Voigt and Barbara Srivastava told Business Insider at the time that Rose had put their daughters through "eight months of torture and abuse.""
Thom Brodeur acquired the Miss USA and Miss Teen USA brands under a 10-year exclusive license and identified himself as chairman, president, and CEO. Laylah Rose is no longer leading Miss USA after a turbulent two-year tenure. Two titleholders—Miss USA 2023 Noelia Voigt and Miss Teen USA 2023 UmaSofia Srivastava—relinquished their crowns midreign, the first such occurrences in the pageant's 72-year history. The queens were constrained by nondisclosure agreements while their mothers accused Rose of subjecting them to eight months of torture and abuse. Brodeur's representative confirmed the acquisition and Noelia Voigt expressed optimism about the pageant's future.
