“We respect and support Noelia’s decision to step down from her duties,” the Miss USA pageant said in a statement following Voigt’s announcement. “The well-being of our titleholders is a top priority, and we understand her need to prioritize herself at this time.” The organization has not returned CNN’s request for further comment.
In response, a number of current state titleholders who competed alongside Voigt for Miss USA — including Miss North Carolina USA 2023
Jordyn Ashlee McKey, Miss Wisconsin USA 2023
Alexis Loomans and Miss New York USA,
Rachelle di Stasio — shared social media messages in support of Voigt, asking the organization to
“release Noelia from the confidentiality NDA clause of her contract, in perpetuity, so that she is free to speak on her experiences and time as Miss USA.”
