Ex-‘Drag Race’ Celebrity Faces Allegations of Sexual Misconduct: Summary
Shocking Allegations: ‘Drag Race’s’ Shangela Accused of Sexual Assault
In a bombshell revelation, former “RuPaul’s Drag Race” contestant and well-known actor “Shangela”, whose legal name is Darius Jeremy Pierce, faces grave allegations of sexual assault after a recent settlement in a civil lawsuit accusing him of rape.
An in-depth exposition by Rolling Stone paints a troubling picture, with reports from five individuals claiming predatory behavior by the celebrity drag artist. The allegations involve attempts to intoxicate victims, purportedly to the point where they could not consent.
These disturbing incidents allegedly spanned from 2012 to 2018, unfolding across various locations in California, Texas, Louisiana, and as far-reaching as the United Kingdom.

Detailed Accusations Surface
Among the individuals coming forward, one man filed a police report concerning an alleged incident in Los Angeles in 2017. His distressing account includes waking up naked after a dinner where Pierce provided him with a drink, followed by claims of Pierce admitting to having sex with him while he was unconscious.
Another accusation originates from Texas in 2018, where a young man contends that Pierce forcibly shoved him onto a bathroom floor and attempted sexual penetration. The narratives from the other three individuals echo a similar modus operandi, alleging that they were provided drinks, lost consciousness, and later found themselves in compromising situations, sometimes with third parties present.

Despite the chilling nature of these allegations, Pierce’s legal representative has firmly rebutted the claims, labeling them as “false and unsupported by credible evidence.”
The encouraging step of these five individuals is believed to be inspired by the dismissal of a lawsuit where Daniel McGarrigle, a production assistant, accused Pierce of drugging and raping him after a show’s wrap party in 2020. The legal process concluded in a settlement, the details of which remain confidential.
The ramifications of these accusations are wide-reaching. As recent as 2022, the drag performer received invitations to high-profile events, including a Pride celebration at the residence of Vice President Kamala Harris and to the White House for the enactment of the Respect for Marriage Act.
The unfolding scenario raises serious questions about the exacting scrutiny of public figures and the impact of such allegations on their careers and the institutions that previously endorsed them.
