Tamron Hall defends interview with drag queen Sherry Pie after fierce backlash on social media
Hall faced backlash for providing a platform for the performer, who was disqualified from season 12 of RPDR over accusations of sexual misconduct
Sherry Pie (real name: Joey Gugliemelli) was accused last March of catfishing multiple men, posing as a casting director
He did not deny the allegations when he posted a public apology to Facebook, before he was disqualified from the show
Several people took aim at Hall on Twitter, including fellow RPDR contestant Jackie Cox and David Mack, who broke the story for Buzzfeed
