Sherry Pie returns to drag 2 years after scandal and people are pissed
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.
