Miss North Carolina USA title stripped just before competition

North Carolina's Brittany Bolton House has had her title as Miss North Carolina USA revoked just three weeks before the 75th Miss USA pageant. This decision came following newly surfaced information and a thorough review by A Blaze Productions, which oversees state pageants.

Bolton House, who was crowned in late June, previously held the title of Miss Wilmington. The chairman of the Miss USA organization stated that the decision was vital to maintain the integrity of their title and uphold their core values of inclusivity.

Myla Hadley will replace Bolton House as Miss North Carolina USA as the nationwide competition approaches.

The organization has emphasized zero tolerance for racism, homophobia, or derogatory language that undermines dignity. As this is a developing story, further details from Bolton House are expected soon.
