Season 13 contestant Denali also offered sympathies. I hope Tony can atone and get the help they so desperately needs, so that everyone involved can begin to heal." "I'm so sorry to all the survivors that were subjected to such awful and reprehensible behavior. "All this shit about S*j* really fucked up my morning," All Stars 5 winner Shea Couleé wrote in a now-deleted tweet.
A few RuPaul's Drag Race queens have responded as well. The drag queen also locked their Instagram account.Īfter Kev shared his story, other alleged survivors began to come forward with similar stories of underage coercion, manipulation, and assault. Soju has since deleted their Twitter account, though the exact timing of when is unclear. While I know deep in my heart that my decision to come forward is first and foremost for my healing, I'm also sharing the truth to combat the ways survivors are silenced because we fear, and know well, the possible repercussions for speaking out, especially when its abuse perpetuated by someone in the public eye." Ever since this decision, I've been in intensive trauma therapy twice a week to prepare myself for what might come. I don't know why but something in my heart told me it was time. I barely decided just a few months ago to do this. "I'd be lying if I said I wasn't terrified of what people might say. "This is when I was hit in the face like a brick with all of the memories and emotions I had bottled up for so long." "I can't even begin to describe how triggering and traumatic it was for me to see Soju get on Drag Race," wrote Kev. Last night, a Twitter user named Kev shared a troubling story accusing Season 11 contestant Soju, or Tony Hyunsoo Ha, of manipulation, gaslighting, coercion, and sexual assault, largely while they were underage.Īccording to our sister publication Out, Kev "met Ha on Grindr at 17-years-old in January 2016," and alleges that "the pair engaged in intercourse while Kev was 'blackout drunk' and could 'barely walk.' According to this description, Kev would not have been able to give consent." Another contestant of RuPaul's Drag Race has been accused of sexual assault.
