Former Miss North Carolina Sues Pageant | US News

Former Miss North Carolina USA Brittany Boltinhouse is suing the pageant after losing her title just weeks after being crowned—claiming they defamed her as a racist and bigot to punish her conservative Christian views and Trump support. Though she admits old teen social media posts resurfaced—including a racial slur—she insists they were mischaracterized and that officials pressured her to sign an apology, which she refused. The pageant maintains her removal was based solely on conduct and standards, not politics, with a co-director confirming the decision stemmed from “the totality of her actions.” Boltinhouse seeks damages for reputational harm and lost career opportunities, while first runner-up Myla Hadley now represents North Carolina at Miss USA.
