Shangela, who gained fame on 'RuPaul's Drag Race', has faced new allegations of sexual assault from Eric Poff, a former production assistant. Poff alleges he was assaulted during the filming of 'Hurricane Bianca 2' in 2017 after claiming his drink was spiked. Shangela, whose real name is Darius Jeremy Pierce, strongly denies the accusations, labeling them as false and part of a larger narrative to diminish his reputation as a successful performer. This follows a prior rape lawsuit that was settled in 2024, further complicating his legal and personal battles.
"Being falsely accused in the most heinous ways is very difficult to endure. I'm advised to stay silent, and I'm doing my best to continue on without engaging in a back and forth with dishonest people seeking money or a moment."
"Even though NONE of these false claims have ever prevailed against me... My career, my character and even my family have suffered."
"Their goal is to characterize a successful Black, gay drag queen as a threat. But my goal is to never let evil win."
"I will continue to fight back with the truth, and with time, I know the truth will prevail."
