Miss USA Noelia steps aside from her title just after seven months and chooses her mental and physical health; over anything at the age of 24 years. She is a Venezuelan-American, from Utah. Wednesday she announced her resignation through an Instagram post that she captioned with: “I realize this may come as a large shock to many. Never compromise your physical and mental well-being. Our health is our wealth. A million thank yous to all of you for your constant and unwavering support. Time to write the next chapter. I hope you’ll stick around to see what’s next.”
In the post, she explained how she values mental and physical health. Also, she shared the best parts of her journey to gain the title of Miss USA and expressed her gratitude through the post. She also thanked her friends, family, and fans for their constant support and eternal love.

Though health professionals admired her for taking this challenging step her fans hypothesized it’s all related to her motivation. an American health correspondent, Dr Jen Ashton said: “When the mental illness gets in the way of someone’s ability to go about not just their day-to-day activities, but to do their job, it is as life-threatening and as severe as untreated diabetes [and] uncontrolled high blood pressure, to Good Morning America in reaction to the news.”
After 3 days of Ms Voigt’s resignation, Claudia Michelle announced her resignation. She addressed the reasons as workplace toxicity and bullying. She wrote in a statement that, I have had the privilege of getting to work with Noelia closely and unfortunately seen a decline in her mental health since we first met. It is not easy to stand for one’s health, especially for mental health. Still, people who are willing to take this challenge make an example to their followers.
