Shangela Accused of Sexual Assault Again in New Lawsuit
Eric Poff is the seventh person to level sexual-assault allegations against the Drag Race alum.
Deadline reported that the parties reached a settlement with undisclosed terms in February 2024, and the suit was permanently dismissed on March 13, 2024. In a three-minute video posted on Instagram in September of that year, Poff claimed to have recently confronted Pierce at a restaurant over his allegations and those in the Rolling Stone piece. He called McGarrigle’s claims “totally untrue,” noting in a statement at the time, “They are personally offensive and perpetuate damaging stereotypes that are harmful not only to me but also to my entire community.” ( We’re Here ’s production company, which was named as a co-defendant in McGarrigle’s suit, said in a statement that it had launched an investigation into a 2021 complaint and concluded that there was “insufficient evidence to support these allegations.”) In response to the Rolling Stone report, Pierce’s lawyer denied the allegations as “false and unsupported by any evidence or reliable witness testimony” and added that Pierce “adamantly denies ever engaging in nonconsensual sex.”
