On March 4th, 2020, 25-year-old actor Ben Shimkus made a post on Facebook detailing his experiences being sexually coerced by Sherry Pie, real name Joey Gugliemelli, a drag queen competing on Season 12 of RuPaul's Drag Race.[1][2] After Shimkus' post multiple other victims came forward with allegations of sexual misconduct against Gugliemelli.[3] On March 6th, 2020, Gugliemelli admitted to sexual misconduct in a Facebook post made to the official Sherry Pie account:
"This is Joey. I want to start by saying how sorry I am that I caused such trauma and pain and how horribly embarrassed and disgusted I am with myself,” he wrote, stating that his actions were due to mental health issues. I know that the pain and hurt that I have caused will never go away and I know that what I did was wrong and truly cruel. Until being on RuPaul’s Drag Race, I never really understood how much my mental health and taking care of things meant,” he added, saying he was getting mental health treatment. I learned on that show how important ‘loving yourself’ is and I don’t think I have ever loved myself. I have been seeking help and receiving treatment since coming back to NYC. I truly apologize to everyone I have hurt with my actions."[4]
On the same day VH1 released a statement announcing that Sherry Pie had been disqualified and would not be appearing at the season finale scheduled to be filmed in spring 2020.[5][6] VH1 also announced that the rest of Season 12 would air as planned out of respect for the work of the other competing queens.
Footage
Despite VH1 claiming that they would air Season 12 as planned, footage of Sherry Pie has been removed from the episodes following her disqualification; her confessionals, her Frozen runway and the #TeamSherry segment at the end of episode 12 did not air, and have yet to be released or shown to the public in any official capacity.
