"Out of respect for the hard work of the other queens, VH1 will air the season as planned. Sherry will not appear in the grand finale scheduled to be filmed later this spring.

"Allison and I went through an email thread that lasted over 150 emails in about three weeks. We covered topics of pay, living situations in the city, when I would have to leave school for rehearsals, and conversations about acting choices for the character.

"I reached out to the friend who originally got this email contact. He, too, was in a callback for a different show with the same woman. I told him not to contact her again. I also asked where he had gotten the contact from. It was from Sherry Pie, who was adamant about her friendship with Allison," Shimkus continued. "One of my best friends told me that a colleague who had worked at a theatre doingwith Sherry also had the same experience with Allison Mossey.

On Thursday night, Gugliemelli posted an apology on the Sherry Pie Facebook page, in which he said he was sorry for causing "trauma and pain" before expressing disgust with himself., I never really understood how much my mental health and taking care of things meant. I learned on that show how important 'loving yourself' is and I don't think I have ever loved myself," he wrote. "I have been seeking help and receiving treatment since coming back to NYC.

Cuhlaireskies yet no one did anything when allegations about silky came out because she made the show “entertaining”.... hmph

She needs to go! No excuse!

Lisa5mtl i hate that it‘s reported as catfish allegations cause that isn‘t the worst part, the worst part is that that person allegedly conned people into eliciting nudes (and more) in promises to advance their career.

Enduring RPDR tonight was a cringe fest. Watching that despicable predator's phony, shameful performance made me want to throw up. Had to FF through much of it, it was so unbearable. This atrocity exhibition has changed my mind about RPDR. Sherry Pie has destroyed the franchise.

It's more than catfishing y'all!!! Don't try & downplay it

This is more than just catfishing

Call NevSchulman !

Get your waist snatched

God damn Russians. They're everywhere! Even RuPaul's Drag Race, which uses paper ballots, but does require a photo I.D., is not safe from their interference. 🤪🤣😅😂

'Catfishing' is putting it lightly.

ryancreeedon you’ve been warned

StevenBrodie14

bye booger

This is more serious than that.

This was the right choice. Yes, it'll be awkward to see her on the show, but many cast/crew poured their hearts into this season and we shouldn't let her actions take that away from them or take away THE most LGBT show on TV. dragrace rupaulsdragrace sherrypie

It’s not cat fishing. Call it what it was; sexual abuse

*sexual exploitation allegations
