What's the story

Noelia Voigt, the reigning Miss USA 2023, has voluntarily stepped down from her title after just seven months.

The 24-year-old Venezuelan-American beauty queen—who was the first of her lineage to win this prestigious title—announced her unexpected decision via an Instagram post on Monday.

Citing mental health issues as the reason for her resignation, Voigt emphasized, "Never compromise your physical and mental well-being. Our health is our wealth."

Career path

Voigt's journey as Miss USA and future aspirations

Voigt's reign as Miss USA was a significant journey for her, representing Utah and subsequently the US at the Miss Universe pageant.

Despite her success, she chose to step down with a hopeful outlook that her decision would inspire others to prioritize their mental health.

Voigt hinted at this being the start of a new phase in her life, harboring aspirations of launching her own design firm and hosting a television show.

Bullying case

Time when she opened up about being bullied

Her journey to success, however, was not without its trials.

Recounting her teenage years, Voigt previously disclosed being bullied at the age of 16.

In an interview with Business Insider, she revealed, "I was so excited when I won that local pageant, and it was actually my ex-best friend who was the ringleader of it all."

"At first, it did sting...But it was clear that it was an attempt to steal the joy I had from this accomplishment."

They said, "We respect and support former Miss USA Noelia Voigt's decision to step down from her duties. The well-being of our titleholders is a top priority, and we understand her need to prioritize herself at this time."

The organization is currently deliberating on plans for transferring duties to a successor, with the 2023 crown likely to be passed on to the first runner-up as per pageant regulations.
