celeb megathread Celeb Megathread 2024: Drag performer Shangela accused of multiple sexual assaults

[Dula Peep]

They truly dodged a bullet rigging the competition against her… 

[JO1s]

Very disappointing to hear this.

She deserves everything that's coming to her under the court of law. I hope the victims are doing better and can eventually find solace.

there's such an obvious pattern there, its sickening. i hope everyone gets justice and that he gets what he deserves

Anyone with even an ounce of fame will get stories made up about them. You cant just say you were assaulted then sentence someone to jail thats not how the world works.

Gross.

My heart is with the victms.

I feel for that one ATRL user who was dragged for coming forward a while ago.

 

We can support alleged survivors without having to immediately denounce alleged perpetrators.

There was a poster here who posted an eerily similar experience with Shangela a few years back...

I know someone who had a situation with her too.

Justice for the victims.

[Katamari]

i thought the muted reaction to this was weird but glad to see it finally out in the open

 

i hope the victims get justice 

 

 

[Relampago.]

It's kind of wild that it took this long to really get momentum behind this. The way it was brushed under the rug several times and everyone turning a blind eye was sickening to be honest. 

[Elusive Chanteuse]

:( Shangie girl its over for you 

 

 

[Jglj]

I hope justice is served. I remember when I heard it for the first time but then it just was just kinda gone.

 

I hope the victims get the support they need.

It appears that Shangela has already been taken to court by one of the victims and the case was settled. How was this not known until now??

Because the publication that was working on the story (BuzzFeed News) was shuttered.

Is Shangela still booked and busy? Or hiding out?

The poster I was referring to is listed and interviewed in the article. I'm happy he can finally speak his truth!

Bob's lucky Madonna called right around the time the second accusation against Shangela started gaining traction, because he could cite the tour as the reason We're Here changed casts and not the accusations. When in reality it was the accusations.

 

By the time the L.A. Times report came out Spring of last year, DJ had that show and mentioned occasional bookings. There's no way to track last year with less bookings or not and it's beside the point now.

I'll reflect this more specifically in the OP mention.  

[confide in me]

This is all so insane. There's a chance that there's more victims out there too
