Days after Miss USA Noelia Voigt resigned, Miss Teen USA UmaSofia Srivastava has now relinquished her crown. Srivastava made the announcement in an Instagram post, citing a misalignment of personal values with the organisation's direction as the reason for her decision.
In her post, Srivastava expressed gratitude for the support she received during her reign, particularly highlighting her experience as a first-generation Mexican-Indian American representing New Jersey at the national level. She emphasised her continued advocacy for education and acceptance, mentioning her children's book 'The White Jaguar' and her work with various organisations.
Srivastava also shared her plans for the future, including finishing 11th grade, starting the college application process, and working on a new writing project. She thanked everyone who supported her during her reign and expressed excitement for the next chapter of her life.
Following Srivastava's resignation, Miss Teen USA's Instagram account expressed respect and support for her decision. They stated that the well-being of their titleholders is a top priority and announced plans to transition responsibilities to a successor soon.
Srivastava was crowned Miss Teen USA 2023 after winning the Miss New Jersey Teen USA 2023 title in the same year. Her resignation marks another change in leadership within the Miss USA organisation, signalling a period of transition for the pageant.
