Darius Pierce, a prominent drag queen known as Shangela, allegedly sexually assaulted or attempted to sexually assault multiple young men.
Four people claimed Pierce either sexually assaulted them or attempted to have sex with them when they were too intoxicated to consent, while a fifth person said Pierce attempted anal penetration despite their refusal.
“I just remember trying to sleep and closing my mouth when she (Shangela) tried to put her penis in my mouth,” one victim said.
New York Magazine has published an essay by a trans-identified male academic calling for "trans kids" to be provided with "sex-changing medical care, regardless of age."

“I really didn’t have any strength to tell her to stop or that I didn’t want to have sex with her.… She had gotten me so drunk that I couldn’t say no, and I was in no way mentally OK enough to feel strong or demand her to stop what she was doing.”
Pierce denied the allegations through his lawyer.
The accusations parallel a prior civil lawsuit against Pierce by a former colleague who alleged rape.
“Queer culture embraced the drag star’s compassionate branding. A headline-grabbing performance for GLAAD, sold-out touring productions, and top billing at Pride events cemented her [his] status as one of the most visible queer people in pop culture, projecting her [him] into historically nonrepresentative spaces,” the Rolling Stone reported.
“She [he] appeared in the film A Star Is Born with Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper, and the television series Dancing With the Stars, attended Beyoncé’s Renaissance red-carpet movie premiere, and received a White House invitation for the [2022] signing of the Respect for Marriage Act,” they wrote.
If true, the claims call into question Pierce’s public persona and activism promoting LGBTQ+ rights and drag queen story hours for children.
