Miss North Carolina USA 2026 winner Brittany Boltinhouse has been stripped of her title less than two months after being crowned, with pageant organizers saying the decision followed a review of recently surfaced information. A Blaize Productions, which holds the state license for the Miss North Carolina USA pageant, announced on Aug. 5 that it had concluded Boltinhouse’s reign after “careful consideration,” multiple conversations, and consultation with the Miss USA Organization.
