The mothers of Noelia Voigt, the former Miss USA 2023, and UmaSofia Srivastava, the former Miss Teen USA 2023, have come forward to shed light on their daughters’ surprise resignations.
Jackeline Voigt, Noelia’s mother, and Barbara Srivastava, UmaSofia’s mother, expressed their concerns and called for reforms within the Miss USA pageant system in an interview with Good Morning America.
Jackeline emphasized that their daughters’ decisions were not motivated by the prizes or material gains associated with the pageant. Instead, they were prompted by their alleged mistreatment, abuse, bullying and feeling cornered. Barbara further claimed that her daughter had experienced bullying from Miss Teen USA management, which had resulted in missed opportunities. She also voiced her concerns over her daughter’s social media account and alleged that it had been subjected to surveillance and control by the pageant’s management.
Jackeline disclosed that she became aware of something amiss after an incident at a Christmas parade.
