Why the Outrage Over Tamron Hall's Sherry Pie Interview Matters The mainstream media has a responsibility to respect all victims of sexual assault — including LGBTQ+ survivors. For those standing outside of the fandom of RuPaul's Drag Race, a significant event occurred this week related to one of its former contestants, Sherry Pie. Last year, just days before his premiere on season 12, Pie, whose real name is Joey Gugliemelli, was accused of catfishing and sexual misconduct by several men. He allegedly posed as a casting director, Allison Mossie, with several actors at SUNY Cortland in New York, where he is an alumnus, as well as a Nebraska theater company.
