Noelia Voigt and UmaSofia Srivastava's resignations marked a historic moment in Miss USA's 72-year history. They cited a toxic work environment under CEO Laylah Rose, which they felt needed addressing. Their mothers also referenced months of 'torture and abuse.' Despite their hopes that their resignations would drive change, the impact was minimal. Voigt expressed skepticism about the organization's future without transformation,while they criticized comments made by the Miss Universe CEO as harmful. Their departures did halt some competitions, but the deep-rooted issues remain unresolved.
Voigt and Srivastava expressed disappointment over the impact of their resignations stating, "We thought it would have more of an impact. It stopped a lot of girls from competing, but it didn't fully put an end to what the issue was."
Voigt remarked on the future of the Miss USA organization by saying, "I don't see how Miss USA will continue to move forward if nothing changes at the organization," emphasizing the need for significant cultural shifts.
