RuPaul's Drag Race star Tyra Sanchez has made another vile ‘crematorium’ joke after the tragic death of The Vivienne. Tyra first sparked outrage shortly after the tragic news that The Vivienne, real name James Lee William, had died aged 32 on January 5. Tyra took to social media within hours to share a string of tweets written in response to a 2020 post by The Vivienne.
In a tweet almost five years old, The Vivienne had written: “Bet Tyra was fuming when she Realised Netflix Spoiled the win Too. Sorry gal. You Tried though.” Adding a new response, Tyra penned: “Yet it doesn’t compare to the fumes of the crematorium.".
Tyra has now appeared to double down and yesterday posted a photo of a crematorium with the words ‘songs I would play if I owned a crematorium’ written across it. Alicia Keys' Girl on Fire played in the background. The backlash to Tyra’s recent post was swift, with disgusted comments quickly piling up beneath the post on X, formerly Twitter.
One person raged: “You are so f****** disgusting.” Another social media user echoed: “How sad that you once had the status of a queen and now you are just a despicable vagabond hungry for a pitiful show, laaaaaame.” Someone else added: “Girl, you were too scared to reply when The Vivienne was alive so you had to clap back after they had passed? You’re sad get a life.”.
Fans have also called on RuPaul to strip Tyra of her Drag Race crown in the wake of her vile outbursts. On X, one Drag Race fan begged: “@RuPaul take away Tyra Sanchez's win now. The s**t she posted had no right to allow her to stay in the hall of fame, she is a disgrace to the planet and to the fandom and you should discard anything related to her as you did Sherry Pie. Letting this slide is a big f**k up.”.
