Miss North Carolina USA 2026, Brittany Boltinhouse, has been stripped of her title just over a month after winning the state beauty pageant following the resurfacing of alleged racist social media posts.
A-Blaize Productions, which oversees the Miss North Carolina USA competition, announced on Wednesday that it had formally dethroned the 27-year-old after conducting what it described as a “thorough review of recently surfaced information.”
In a statement, the organisers acknowledged that the decision was difficult but said it was made after carefully examining the allegations. The organisation did not disclose specific details about the posts or when they were originally made.
The controversy emerged after screenshots of alleged racist posts linked to Boltinhouse circulated online, prompting widespread criticism and calls for action. Following the review, pageant officials concluded that she would no longer hold the Miss North Carolina USA title.
The Miss North Carolina USA organisation has not announced who will assume the title following Boltinhouse’s removal.
The incident highlights the growing scrutiny public figures and pageant winners face over past social media activity, with organisations increasingly taking action when online content is deemed inconsistent with their values and standards.
