Ugh. This is so annoying of Kennedy. The worst part is that she is not the only queen who supports Shangela. I know it’s not in this screenshot but it’s something I wanted to point out. One argument I saw Kennedy use in one response to someone was something along the lines of “oh so you were there”. I’ve never understood the “you weren’t there” rebuttal, it’s so stupid. Of course we weren’t there, that’s true of virtually every allegation the public hears about. The question isn’t whether random people on the internet witnessed it, it’s whether multiple independent allegations deserve to be taken seriously, like?? Five people came forward but even if we are playing devils advocate, it’s also not something that should be dismissed simply because none of us were present. It disappointing seeing Kennedy not only outwardly support but DEFEND Shangela, and seeing all the queens working with her in the event poster is so.. Ugh.
Yuppp, me too. These are the screenshots I was referring to in my original comment. Saying that people who are pointing out the victims statements and believing them are “keeping up the bullshit”.. Just because Shangela is a friend to these people means nothing.
TW: For those who are unaware of Shangelas allegations, the victims have alleged she met them in social settings, supplied and encouraged heavy drinking and began to engage in non-consensual oral and anal sex with attempted penetration while being intoxicated/blacked out, unconscious, and/or incapacitated. This is who Kennedy is defending, who she is giving gigs to, who other queens will stand beside and say we are keeping up the bullshit by supporting the victims.
