Miss North Carolina USA pageant producers fire back after winner says she lost title over faith

Miss North Carolina USA pageant organizers said they removed Brittany Boltinhouse from the competition due to repeated use of a racial slur, according to a statement issued by the pageant. Boltinhouse stated that her conservative Christian beliefs led to her losing the title. The pageant did not address her religious beliefs in their public response, instead citing conduct violations. Boltinhouse had won the Miss North Carolina USA crown before the removal occurred.
