When you Google "Natasha Berkelston" AND "Miss USA", you will find that this name does not match the contestant crowned as Miss USA in 2022, which was Morgan Romano. In a statement sent to Reuters in response to the article on Billbordi.com and social media Morgan said: "I support all of the national contestants and any woman brave and confident enough to put herself out there on the global stage!". To this she adds: "I would never boycott or skip a competition for a reason like this".

Conclusion: The article is a piece of satire which Billbordi.com appears to present as true entertainment news, probably without having checked the facts.
