Pie was disqualified from season 12 of Drag Race for catfishing allegations. This was after five men alleged they were deceived by the performer when he posed as a casting director and coerced them into doing “degrading” things on camera for roles that did not exist.
The announcement came ahead of the airing of episode two (which was taped last year), in which Gugliemelli was set to make his debut. “In light of recent developments and Sherry Pie’s statement, Sherry Pie has been disqualified from RuPaul’s Drag Race,” the show posted on its Twitter account.
