Joey Gugliemelli, better known as Sherry Pie, the drag queen who was disqualified from RuPaul’s Drag Race amid reports of fraud and sexual misconduct, appears to be angling for a comeback.Over a ten-year period, Gugliemelli posed as a casting assistant or casting director advising other young actors on their careers.
That also often involved convincing actors to film audition scenes at least partially nude and recite a sexually suggestive monologue.
Just after the premiere of RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 12, a number of victims came forward with their stories of Guglamielli’s coercion and manipulation.
The producers of the show fired Gugliemelli in response to the allegations. [A more detailed telling of the story can be found here, as a Queerty exclusive.]“Coming back to socials has me gagging,” Gugliemelli wrote on a post Friday.
