After the allegations came to light, the network quickly released a statement announcing that it planned to disqualify Sherry from the show, promising she would not be in the grand finale that the show had yet to film, though it would air the rest of the shows as planned.
"In light of recent developments and Sherry Pie’s statement, Sherry Pie has been disqualified from RuPaul’s Drag Race," the network shared. "Out of respect for the hard work of the other queens, VH1 will air the season as planned. Sherry will not appear in the grand finale scheduled to be filmed later this spring.”
This statement also appeared at the beginning of the first episode to air after the allegations came to light. While Sherry received little screen time, she still managed to win that round of the competition, leading some to believe that she may have made it to the top 4 contestants.
"This episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race was filmed in 2019,” a statement read at the end of the episode.“In light of recent developments, VH1 and World of Wonder have donated $5,000 to The Trevor Project.”
