Miss Teen USA’s post triggered many assumptions on social media. A user commented, “DO BETTER! Two titleholders don’t coincidentally resign unless something truly wrong is happening within this organization!!” Another user commented, “This is almost word for word what you all responded to Noelia and her resignation, no personable response what so ever speaks volume too.”

Srivastava resigned after Noelia Voit, crowned Miss USA in September, resigned from her position on May 6. In a statement, she said that it is the “beginning of a new chapter,” and that she hopes to inspire others to “remain steadfast and prioritise mental health”.
