You’ve likely heard by now that RuPaul’s Drag Race contestant Sherry Pie (a.k.a. Joey Gugliemelli) was disqualified from the competition last week after being accused of catfishing multiple young men.

Gugliemelli allegedly pretended to be a casting director named Allison Mossey and tricked the aspiring young actors into sending degrading videos of themselves.
Yesterday, Queerty published an in-depth investigation into the story. We spoke to several of Gugliemelli’s accusers, including actor Ben Shimkus, who was the first person to blow the whistle on the predatory drag queen.

Calling out a predator isn’t cancel culture. It’s accountability. Great he's getting therapy, but it doesn’t undo the damage he did to those men. #sherrypie #RPDR12

Am I a terrible person for not caring about any of this Sherry Pie stuff?

Nope. I’m just watching the show for enjoyment. It’s an entertainment show to me. If they are doing what their supposed to do on the show that’s all I care about while I’m watching it. Afterwards yes I’ll bitch about them and their personal life.
