A few years ago, June Miller decided it was time for a change. After 20-plus years of going by “June,” it was time to change back to her given name, Marjory.
“She never even said why – it was just, all of a sudden, ‘nope, everybody’s going to call me Marjory now, stop calling me June, gotta make a change,’” said daughter Alexis Grant.
That, along with her purple hair, was one of the latest…

The reign of Miss North Carolina USA 2026 Brittany Boltinhouse is over.
In June, she made history as the first married woman and as the first woman of Honduran descent to hold the title.
Now, the Miss USA organization says that she has violated the standards of the pageant organization.
How so? It appears that her social media posts have come back to haunt her.
Just ahead of the Miss USA competition, CEO Thom Brodeur put out a release on Wednesday, August 5.
On Instagram, he revealed that Boltinhouse has been stripped of her crown.
No longer Miss North Carolina, she is accused of violating the organization’s standards.
Titles like Miss North Carolina USA, the organization reasons, are not “trinkets.”
Rather, they are investments of trust. Trust which, Brodeur explains, Boltinhouse has broken.
Brodeur’s statement did not explain the specific violations that cost Boltinhouse her crown.
However, the statement stated, very broadly, that the organization “does not tolerate racism, homophobia, transphobia, nor language that strips any person of their dignity.”
That is a very good policy — but does not specify which aspect of that she broke.
With exceptions of figures like Garrett Yrigoyen on The Bachelorette, very few scandals like these involve some sort of Macavity-from-Cats figure who has violated every rule in the book.
Mere weeks ago, however, an explosive report by the NC Beat revealed Boltinhouse’s troubling social media history.

According to what are now widespread reports, Boltinhouse previously tweeted under an alias, Sosa the Stallion.
From 2017 until 2019, she allegedly repeatedly used the n-word.
On the plus side, she did not appear to be directly attacking individuals with the use of the slur. Her use in the sentences appears to have been for emphasis.
At the same time … the thing about slurs is that their use is almost always an automatic attack against the entire demographic to which they refer. Slurs are not merely rude words, they are loaded with troubling and violent histories.
Though Boltinhouse has also been accused of having been a vocal supporter of Donald Trump during his 2024 campaign, that does not appear to have been a factor.
In his statement, Brodeur emphasizes the need for compassion. He received praise for this in the comments.
He acknowledged that Boltinhouse has been “named, examined, and judged in public in a way that most of us would not survive.”
Boltinhouse entered the competition first representing the coastal city of Wilmington.
In her stead, Myla Hadley of the city of Charlotte will instead take on the title of Miss North Carolina USA 2026.
Haldey goes into this with the organization’s “full confidence and our support.”

As we previously reported, internet personality Perez Hilton seemed to engage in self-harm during a TikTok livestream on Tuesday night.
The 48-year-old brandished a knife and threatened suicide while seemingly covered in his own blood.
Hilton was rushed to a nearby hospital, and after days of speculation, we finally have some encouraging news about his condition.
In a statement released Wednesday, Perez’s loved ones confirmed that he is now able to communicate with them, calling the development a reason for hope as he continues receiving medical care.
“We can confirm that Perez is able to communicate, which has given our family hope,” the statement read (via TMZ).
The family went on to thank supporters for the outpouring of prayers and well wishes they’ve received over the past several days, while once again asking for privacy as Perez focuses on his recovery.
“We remain deeply grateful for the compassion, patience, and respect so many people have shown during this incredibly difficult time,” the statement continued.
“Please continue to keep Perez in your thoughts and prayers.”
The update comes less than 48 hours after emergency responders were called to Perez’s Miami-area home when viewers alerted authorities about a disturbing livestream.
He was transported to a local medical facility, where he has remained under medical care ever since. Authorities have confirmed that he was safely taken to the hospital, while his family has consistently emphasized that their priority is his well-being.

The news has prompted an outpouring of relief across social media, with many fans expressing hope that Perez can now focus entirely on healing away from the public eye.
While his family has not shared additional details about his treatment or a possible timeline for his release, they made it clear that they’ll provide further updates if and when they’re able.
Speculation. about the cause of this mental health crisis remains rampant, with several sources claiming that Hilton had been dealing with financial woes in the
Whatever the case, at least we can take solace Perez is communicating with his family and those closest to him.
