"The switch-up came more than a year after Miss USA 2023 Noelia Voigt from Utah announced her decision to step back from her role in May 2024. In her resignation letter obtained by NBC News, she alleged "There is a toxic work environment within the Miss USA organization that, at best, is poor management and, at worst, is bullying and harassment." Former Miss USA CEO and President Laylah Rose denied the allegations."
"But after Brodeur took over, Voight-who returned to the Miss USA competition this year as one of the co-hosts-told Business Insider it felt like a "new day on the horizon." "I genuinely feel like going on my social media right now and telling every girl that has been afraid to compete in the USA system since I resigned to please go ahead and sign up now," she added in September. "Because I know things are going to be different.""
Thom Brodeur assumed the roles of president and CEO of Miss USA and Miss Teen USA following leadership change. Miss USA 2023 Noelia Voigt resigned in May 2024, alleging a toxic work environment described as poor management or bullying and harassment; former CEO Laylah Rose denied the allegations. Days later Miss Teen USA 2023 UmaSofia Srivastava relinquished her crown, citing a misalignment of personal values with the organization. Voigt returned as a co-host and expressed optimism under Brodeur, encouraging contestants to enter. Audrey Eckert was crowned Miss USA 2025 and previously held multiple Nebraska and youth titles.
