In a statement to ABC News, The Miss USA Organization shared, “We are committed to fostering a healthy, communicative and supportive environment for all contestants, state titleholders, national titleholders and staff.”
She concluded her letter by writing that she feels it is unsafe for future Miss Universe Organization title holders, adding, “Every statement you have ever put out about MUO’s morals and integrity directly contradicts what is happening within the USA organization.”
While Noelia expressed her gratitude for her time as Miss USA in her statement on social media, her resignation to the organization, obtained by NBC News May 9, offered a much more candid reflection of her experience.
The eight-page letter, per the outlet, described “a toxic work environment within the Miss USA Organization that, at best, is poor management and, at worst, is bullying and harassment.”
