On 10 February, the Drag Race and All Stars 8 alum warned her followers to “stay safe out there” after she was attacked by an unidentified man in a club.
In a tweet, Kandy said the man “was groping me and clinging onto the back of my pants and wouldn’t let go of me even tho I told him to let go of me and NO multiple times – he then got upset I wanted nothing to do with him and proceeded to attack me.” Accompanied by an image of “battle scars” on her arm, she added: “I’m okay, was a bit shaken up last night- but people need to understand NO IS NO!” Kandy later thanked fans for their “kind words” and reiterated that she’s “okay”, before sharing that she will spend the next week on a cruise to the Caribbean with fellow Drag Race alumni Jimbo, Heidi N Closet and Jessica Wild.
In an interview with Out, Kandy said she didn’t want to name the bar where the incident occurred because “it’s a club that I work at a lot, and security handled the situation very, very well”.
