Miss USA Savannah Gankiewicz said she has received death threats and hateful messages since taking the crown in the wake of Noelia Voigt's shocking resignation and allegations against the pageant's CEO. Gankiewicz, 28, said in a speech that the backlash she's received 'breaks my heart.
Voigt, 24, said in an Instagram statement that she was relinquishing the title to focus on her mental health, but days later NBC News obtained a copy of Voigt’s resignation letter in which she accused the pageant's CEO of creating a toxic work environment and failing to address a sexual harassment incident she raised. 'There is a toxic work environment within the Miss USA organization that, at best, is poor management and, at worst, is bullying and harassment,” Voigt wrote.
