According to the search results, Miss USA 2022 was RBonney Gabriel, a fashion designer from Houston, Texas, who made history as the first Filipino American to take home the crown. However, after her win, several contestants claimed that the pageant had been rigged in her favor, and allegations of rigging, favoritism, and sexual harassment began to surface. The scandal led to the suspension of Miss USAs national director and former pageant queen Crystle Stewart, a sexual harassment scandal, and several leadership changes within the Miss Universe Organization. Gabriel went on to win Miss Universe 2022, and her first runner-up, Morgan Romano of North Carolina, assumed the Miss USA title on January 27, 2023, in a crowning ceremony in Auburn, Alabama.
