The reigning Miss Brazil has been stripped of her title after announcing her pregnancy, with organizers saying the move violated competition rules, according to CidadeVerde.com. The decision was reported on Friday, August 28, 2026, by the Brazilian outlet.
CidadeVerde.com reports that the pageant organization cited a breach of terms following the winner's public pregnancy disclosure. The former titleholder has since spoken out about the decision, with statements covered by Estadão and CNN Brasil. Her boyfriend also told UOL that she has been hospitalized and described her condition as "grave," though no further medical details were provided.
The runner-up, a woman from the southern state of Santa Catarina, has now assumed the Miss Brazil title, according to O Globo. The transition follows the organization's enforcement of its contractual obligations, which the winner was found to have not met.
