Drag Race star Violet Chachki breaks silence over “stealing” Sharon Needles’ crown
Violet Chachki has finally opened up about “stealing” Sharon Needles Drag Race crown in a new interview. Back in the early 2010s, the two beloved queens made headlines after Sharon’s coveted crown went missing during her appearance at an Atlanta drag pageant.
At the time, fans theorised that Violet was behind the disappearance of the bejewelled headpiece after she uploaded a photo with a similar crown via social media (per Project Q Atlanta).
