Laylah Rose Countersues JKN / Also Sues Legacy & Thom Brodeur for Sabotaging Her Business

On October 20, 2025, VVV Global Enterprise, owned by Laylah Rose, the dismissed president and franchisee of Miss USA and Miss Teen USA, filed a counter lawsuit against JKN Universe and its owner, Anne Jakrajutatip. Additionally, she is also suing Legacy Holding and its owner, Raul Rocha Cantú. BDE Miss USA and its owner Thom Brodeur - who recently replaced Laylah as the new president and CEO of Miss USA and Miss Teen USA - for sabotaging her business relationship with JKN. I was able to access the entire court docket which is 439 pages long; it features VVV’s counterclaims against every allegation made by JKN (mainly Laylah’s alleged mismanagement), as well as allegations made by Miss USA 2023 Noelia Voigt (who resigned from her position), and by Miss USA 2024 Alma Cooper. VVV claims that it is JKN who breached the agreement, sometimes bypassing Laylah’s authority by directly communicating with the state directors, and that the claims made by Voigt or Cooper are baseless.

VVV also alleges that JKN and Legacy “have tarnished the Miss USA brand by depriving Miss USA of operating funds, interfering with VVV’s ability to manage Miss USA as it was contracted to do, and disparaging the results of JKN’s own actions. In the process, JKN, Legacy, Legacy’s owner Cantú, and Brodeur - a ‘pageant coach’ who has long held designs on taking over Miss USA and who has proven willing to wage a campaign of baseless public disparagement against anyone who stands in his way - have caused great financial and reputational injury to VVV, which VVV now seeks to remedy.”
