Miss USA resigns while sharing wellness message: 'Never compromise your physical and mental well-being'

The woman who holds the title of Miss USA says she's giving up her crown, citing her "physical and mental well-being" in an announcement about her resignation.

Noelia Voigt, who last September became the first Venezuelan-American to win the Miss USA competition, acknowledged in an Instagram post on Monday that news that she was stepping down "may come as a large shock to many."

"In life, I strongly value the importance of making decisions that feel best for you and your mental health," Voigt, 24, said.
