‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ Star Shangela Accused of Raping an Assistant
A disturbing rape allegation has been levied against HBO’s We’re Here star Shangela, with the actor’s former driver on the show claiming he was sexually assaulted despite his screams of “no.”
The bombshell accusation emerged Wednesday in a lawsuit filed by Daniel McGarrigle in Los Angeles Superior Court against Buckingham Television and Shangela, whose real name is Darius Jeremy (DJ) Pierce.
The lawsuit, obtained by The Daily Beast, alleges that McGarrigle drunkenly fell asleep in Pierce’s Louisiana hotel room after partying together at a Mexican restaurant on Feb. 25 2020. McGarrigle says Pierce pushed him to get drunk against his wishes. He was fully clothed when he passed out, he said, but was quickly awakened to his pants being pulled down and Pierce trying to rape him without a condom on.
