BREAKING: UmaSofia Srivastava just posted on her Instagram on May 8 a statement announcing her resignation as Miss Teen USA 2023, just two days after Miss USA 2023 Noelia Voigt tendered her resignation citing mental health.
In her statement, UmaSofia writes that “my personal values no longer fully align with the direction of the organization” and that she will continue advocating for educating and acceptance.
Following Noelia’s suit, UmaSofia now becomes the first Miss Teen USA to ever resign from her position, just less than three months before crowning her successor.
Though her decision may seem unfortunate and sad, she’s a beautiful and smart young woman and we believe she will have a brighter and bigger future ahead. 🙏
