Miss Mississippi Wins 2024 Miss Teen USA Pageant After Scandal-Scarred Year

A Fresh Face for a Troubled Pageant

After a tumultuous year for the Miss USA and Miss Teen USA pageants, Addie Carver of Mississippi has emerged as the 2024 Miss Teen USA, bringing a breath of fresh air to a competition marred by controversy.

A Year of Scandals

The past year has been a turbulent one for the Miss USA and Miss Teen USA pageants. In October 2023, Miss USA Noelia Voigt and Miss Teen USA UmaSofia Srivastava were both crowned amid allegations of favoritism and unfair judging.

The allegations led to outrage from fans and contestants alike, with many questioning the integrity of the competition. The Miss Universe Organization, which oversees the Miss USA and Miss Teen USA pageants, responded by suspending the titles of both Voigt and Srivastava and launching an investigation.
