Phoenix’s ABC News affiliate reports:
Richard Stevens is widely known as drag queen Barbra Seville, a Valley entertainer for the last two decades. Now he’s known internationally. Last weekend, Stevens called out Republican candidate for governor Kari Lake for hypocrisy. The story went viral.
Lake, a former TV news anchor in Phoenix, has joined her fellow Republicans in targeting drag queens, insinuating they’re pedophiles. On Saturday, a lawyer for Lake and her campaign served Stevens with a “cease and desist” letter.
The letter demands that he stop making “defamatory statements” about Lake and remove all such statements from social media. The letter, from lawyer Tim La Sota, says Stevens made false claims about Lake taking her daughter to a drag show, having a drag show at her home, and being asked to leave a bar because she was drunk.
