Boltinhouse was scheduled to compete in the Miss USA pageant in late August. North Carolina will now be represented by Myla Hadley, who was crowned in Boltinhouse's place. "The decision was the result of a detailed analysis of recently emerging information and was based on the totality of the circumstances and our responsibility to preserve the integrity of the Miss North Carolina USA title and the values ??of our organization."

Brodeur said Boltinhouse had apologized but that it "does not undo the harm done and does not change the outcome."
