Miss Teen USA has given up her crown, just two days after Miss USA resigned to prioritise her mental health.

UmaSofia Srivastava, 17, said she was stepping down from the role because her “personal values no longer fully align with the direction of the organisation”.

Posting on Instagram, she said: “I am grateful for all the support from my family, my state directors, my sister queens, and the fans who have cheered me on since I won my state title.

“I will always look back on my time as Miss NJ Teen USA fondly, and the experience of representing my state as a first generation, Mexican-Indian American at the national level was fulfilling in itself.”

She was crowned in September 2023.

Her announcement came after Miss USA Noelia Voigt said she was relinquishing her title with a message urging people to look after their mental health.

DUBLIN (LifeSiteNews) — An Irish witch and self-professed “non-binary” individual is representing the once-Catholic nation in the 2024 Eurovision song contest, performing a song with blatant representations of satanism and occult behavior.

On May 7, 31-year-old Bambie Ray Robinson – known by her stage name of “Bambie Thug” – secured a place in the Eurovision final taking place on May 11 in Sweden. Robinson claims to be non-binary and describes her work as “Ouija pop,” with prominent and indeed central aspects of satanic-inspired images, actions and symbols present throughout.

Explaining her stage name, Robinson said that “Bambie Thug is your witchy king antidote to the world” during an interview on YouTube.

Disney’s unpopularity among conservatives has made it one of the least liked Hollywood studios, according to a new poll.

Research commissioned by the news website Puck found that Disney’s unfavourability rating, while low in absolute terms, was among the highest of 29 major American companies at 21 per cent.

That was largely driven by Republicans and independents, of whom 30 per cent and 26 per cent respectively said they had a negative opinion of the company. By contrast, only 8 per cent of Democrats said the same.

The negative polling comes after a series of political fights for the House of Mouse, which many conservative activists and politicians have painted as a bastion of “wokeness” in corporate America.

In March the company settled a lawsuit backed by Florida’s Republican governor Ron DeSantis over who controls the land surrounding Walt Disney World near Orlando, triggered back in 2022 by Disney’s lukewarm support for Mr DeSantis’s so-called ‘Don’t Say Gay’ education bill.
