Billboard Magazine reports:
Just hours before her premiere on season 12 of RuPaul’s Drag Race, drag star Sherry Pie is already in hot water, after five actors accused her of catfishing them.
In a report from Buzzfeed News, five New York actors accused their former SUNY Cortland classmate Joey Gugliemelli (Pie’s birth name) of posing as a casting director over email, and asking each of them to send him embarrassing “audition tapes” of themselves doing a variety of degrading activities.
One actor even said he’d agreed to masturbate on camera for Gugliemelli’s online persona.
