Miss Grand USA, Mekyla Li, has been stripped of her title just one week after she was crowned following revelations about an alleged 2024 hit-and-run and a previous marriage.
The Miss Grand USA organisation announced that Li’s reign had been terminated and that she had been released from the “Miss Grand USA Title and all associated duties” for violating the pageant’s rules.
“This decision was made in accordance with contractual policies outlined by the Miss Grand USA organisation,” the organisation said in a statement posted on Instagram on Thursday.
Li, 27, is facing two felony charges stemming from an alleged hit-and-run in Los Angeles in November 2024, according to court records obtained by People.
