UmaSofia Srivastava resigned as Miss Teen USA citing a misalignment of personal values with the organization's direction. This resignation followed Miss USA, Noelia Voigt's decision to step down.
Ms. Srivastava, representing New Jersey, won Miss Teen USA in 2023. She aims to become a U.N. ambassador as the first Mexican-Indian Miss New Jersey Teen USA.
Online speculation arose after Miss USA's resignation when fans noticed a hidden message ('I am silenced') formed by the first letters of the first 11 sentences in her statement.
Support poured in for both Ms. Srivastava and Miss USA following their resignations, with numerous comments across social media platforms in solidarity with the two women.
