BuzzFeed News

Joey Gugliemelli, who's competing on this season under his drag persona Sherry Pie, was accused of posing as a casting director and catfishing acting classmates, according to Buzzfeed. Soon after Buzzfeed published a story on the catfishing allegations on Thursday night, Gugliemelli apologized on Facebook. "This is Joey, I want to start by saying how sorry I am that I caused such trauma and pain and how horribly embarrassed and disgusted I am with myself," Gugliemelli wrote. "I know that the pain and hurt that I have caused will never go away and I know that what I did was wrong and truly cruel."
