Miss USA Noelia Voigt Gives Up Her Title For Mental Health
Noelia Voigt, the former Miss Utah and winner of the 2023 Miss USA pageant, has announced her resignation from the title. “In life, I strongly value the importance of making decisions that feel best for you and your mental health,” she wrote on social media. “As individuals, we grow through experiencing different things in life that lead us to learning more about ourselves.” Looks like her last official appearance may have been this weekend at the Kentucky Derby.
