A North Carolina beauty queen’s reign has come to a sudden and dramatic end — just weeks after she captured the state’s top pageant title.
Brittany Boltinhouse, 27, was crowned Miss North Carolina USA on June 28, putting her on track to compete on the national stage.
But by Wednesday, Boltinhouse had been stripped of the crown following explosive allegations involving alleged racist behavior from her past.
Pageant officials have since replaced Boltinhouse with the competition’s runner-up, abruptly ending what should have been a year filled with public appearances, glamorous events and preparations for Miss USA.
The shocking dethroning came less than six weeks after Boltinhouse celebrated her victory and began publicly embracing her new role.
Details surrounding the specific allegations were not immediately included in the announcement, and Boltinhouse’s response was not provided.
The controversy marks a stunning fall for the 27-year-old, who went from newly crowned pageant queen to losing her title in a matter of weeks.
