To some, I suppose.
Drag Queen Feted By Kamala Harris Accused of Multiple Sexual Assaults
Gee, imagine my surprise to hear such shocking, stunning, unexpected news.
Darius Jeremy “DJ” Pierce, better known as “Shangela,” has appeared on numerous television series and is best known for competing on RuPaul’s “Drag Race” and Dancing With the Stars.
The accusations are described in sordid detail in a Rolling Stone exposé following a 16 month investigation researching the allegations, reviewing court documents, and interviewing several accusers.
The report features five people who accused Pierce of sexually assaulting them or attempting to have sex with them while they were too inebriated to consent. The alleged offenses took place over a period of six years in Louisiana, Texas, California and the United Kingdom, and sometimes involved a second assailant, according to a Rolling Stone investigation. Three of the five accusers, who ranged in age at the time of their alleged assaults from 18 to 23, said they were aspiring drag queens at the time.
Separately, Daniel McGarrigle, a former production assistant on HBO’s “We’re Here” accused Pierce in May of 2023 of committing “sexual assault, gender violence false imprisonment, negligence, and sexual harassment, among other offenses” while they worked on the show in 2020.
McGarrigle alleged in the lawsuit that he “threw up” after drinking with Pierce before waking up to the drag star “rubbing his penis against his buttocks, attempting to insert himself into his anus.” The lawsuit claimed Pierce thrust inside of McGarrigle while saying, “I know you want it, and you’re going to take it.”
Of COURSE the little shit wanted it! I mean, really, don’t they all? The fact that the sicko has to slip ‘em a roofie in their drink beforehand shows that clearly enough.
In a statement last year, Pierce said the allegations were “entirely meritless,” and that they “perpetuate damaging stereotypes that are harmful not only to me but also to my entire community.”
As I have said so many times, stereotypes exist for a reason. They don’t just spring into being out of thin air; they are no more nor less than exaggerations to one degree or another, based on simple observation of a group’s behavior, tendencies, or traits.
For instance, if a certain group is mentally dysfunctional, sexually perverted, and consists of grown men obsessed with presenting themselves in public as women—even going to the extreme of claiming to actually BE women in some cases—then the particulars of a stereotype applying to said group won’t be overly difficult to predict.
The event apparently marked the first time the VP residence had hosted a pride event featuring a transvestite.
Pierce gushed about the experience in an Instagram post, writing, “I woke up today asking myself ‘did that really just happen?’…Thank you Madame @vp for being an authentic ally and for not only holding this LGBTQ event at ur residence, but for also inviting me to make a few welcoming remarks.”
“After laughing and sobbing on the phone with my Mom this morning, I took a sec to take this in. Me — the lil, country gay kid from Paris, TX just helped introduce the highest ranking female leader ever elected in our Country,” Pierce continued. “And I did it standing in my Truth. Proudly representing my community. Here’s to all the dreamers. I’m doing it, and so can YOU.”
Ummm…not entirely sure what you’re standing in is actually “Truth” there, fella. Might want to check the bottom of your shoes before you go tracking something nasty into the house. Just sayin’, that’s all.
Later, in December of 2022, Joe Biden invited Pierce and other LGBTQ celebrities to the White House to celebrate the signing of “the Respect for Marriage Act,” which repealed the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), and required the federal government to recognize the validity of same-sex and interracial civil marriages in the United States.
The “Respect for Marriage Act”? SRSLY?!? Oh, the irony is STRONG with these ones—so strong, in fact, that it’s capable of scorching human flesh right off the bones.
Anybody confused as to how this country came to be so well, truly, and totally fucked need look no further for the reason why: this country is fucked because it richly deserves to be—well, truly, and totally.
The real surprise is that all of the drag fan’s victims are over 18.
With that said, I will say that my sympathy is limited when it’s pervert-on-pervert assault, as these were.
