Miss North Carolina USA 2026 Brittany Boltinhouse Dethroned Over Resurfaced Posts
Brittany Boltinhouse was dethroned as Miss North Carolina USA 2026 less than two months after her win following a review of resurfaced social media posts containing alleged racist language. The pageant organizers, A Blaize Productions, and the Miss USA Organization emphasized their zero-tolerance policy for racism and the importance of upholding the title's integrity. Boltinhouse apologized but the decision stood. The first runner-up, Myla Hadley, will now represent North Carolina at the Miss USA pageant.
