After Miss Teen USA Stepped Down, the Runner-Up Says She Doesn’t Want the Crown Either
New York Post ^ | May 13, 2024 | Jeanette Settembre

After Miss Teen USA, UmaSofia Srivastava, stepped down last week, the runner-up — Miss Teen New York, Stephanie Skinner — told The Post that she doesn’t want the crown either.

“I ultimately came to the decision to decline it,” Skinner, 19 and from New Hartford, New York, said. “I didn’t feel like it was the right decision considering all the circumstances.”

Over the past week both Srivastava, 17, and Miss USA, 24-year-old Noelia Voigt, abdicated their titles, while Miss USA Organization social media manager Claudia Michelle also resigned from her post. Sources told The Post that the women had been “bullied” by the organization’s CEO, Laylah Rose. Skinner, a rising junior majoring in economics at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, said she didn’t feel she could accept the Miss Teen USA title after the scandals came to light — and is instead “standing in solidarity and standing up for female empowerment. My integrity and my character will always come before crowns.”

“that our education like such as in South Africa and, uh, the Iraq and everywhere like such as, and I believe that they should, uh, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., uh, should help South Africa and should help Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future.”

Miss Utah was similarly quite spectacularly .... awesome.

That could be-a few adults, some involved for a long time resigned too.

It also could be that the Penn student in charge of censoring them is the typical leftist tyrant, shutting down any speech that does not conform with the leftist agenda.

When the subject comes up, I like to irritate people by saying I lost interest in Disneyland when they said I couldn’t shoot the Indians at Fort Apache anymore.

Isn’t that a bit like the Monopoly card that declares you get $10 for coming in 2nd in a beauty contest?

So that’s what all the crying is about, when they win?

They did not realize what they won and now do not like it. They made wise decisions.

K-Pop = Korean Pop

It's either a group of young female or young male singer/dancers backed by a band or canned music.

You can see many videos on YouTube.

It's kinda crazy, but the kids love it!

I’m sure it won’t be long until trannies start winning the titles.

I tried to watch the “new” Doctor Who... it’s horrible. Just an idiotic story. I watched the first one, but I will not watch from “Chord” on.

I would love one of the contestants say, "I do not know about world peace but do know about peace in the Middle East. Destroy Hamas, Destroy Hezbollah, Destroy the insane Mullahs in Iran, Destroy the Iranian Guard, and we will have peace in the Middle East. She would not win but would be a sweet victory for truth non the less. Oddly the Iranian people are not bad, I lived there and they have been brutalized in the extreme.
