Cheryl Burke and Thomas Roberts have both dropped out as co-hosts of the Miss USA pageant following the controversy with Donald Trump‘s remarks on immigration.

“In light of the recent statements made by Donald Trump and the subsequent decision by NBC to cut ties with Mr. Trump, I cannot in good conscience move forward with participating in this year’s Miss USA Pageant as its co-host,” Cheryl said in a statement. “Effective today I have withdrawn from my duties with Miss USA. Although I will not be there in person, I wish all of the contestants much luck as I know how hard they’ve all been working over the last year to try and realize their dreams.”

While Thomas has not issued an official statement, an NBC spokesperson has confirmed his exit and he also tweeted about it as well. See below!

Trump just announced that he filed a $500 million lawsuit against Univision over the network dropping the telecast.

NBC is officially ending its relationship with Donald Trump after he came under fire for comments he made about Mexican immigrants while declaring his candidacy for President of the United States.

The network has announced that it will no longer air the planned Miss USA pageant or the upcoming Miss Universe pageant. Celebrity Apprentice will also not return to the channel.

“At NBC, respect and dignity for all people are cornerstones of our values. Due to the recent derogatory statements by Donald Trump regarding immigrants, NBCUniversal is ending its business relationship with Mr. Trump,” the statement read.

“To that end, the annual Miss USA and Miss Universe Pageants, which are part of a joint venture between NBC and Trump, will no longer air on NBC . In addition, as Mr. Trump has already indicated, he will not be participating in The Apprentice on NBC,” the statement continued.

The news comes just days after Univision announced it will not carry the pageant either.
