Brittany Boltinhouse, the dethroned Miss North Carolina USA, has filed a defamation lawsuit against the Miss USA pageant and its organizers. Boltinhouse claims she was stripped of her title due to her conservative beliefs and alleged that social media posts were weaponized against her, portraying her as bigoted. The lawsuit comes after she lost her title over allegedly racist posts that recently surfaced. Boltinhouse asserts that her removal was unjust and motivated by her support for former President Trump.
