Drag Race UK sparks furious backlash as Boy George named guest judge despite problematic past
The BBC has been accused of an “appalling lack of judgement” for casting Boy George on the new season of Drag Race UK.
Boy George, aka George O’Dowd, will serve as a guest judge on the new season of Drag Race UK, the BBC announced Wednesday (31 August).
Many were shocked by the news, given his hugely problematic past.
In 2009, Boy George was given a 15 month jail sentence for falsely imprisoning a male escort, handcuffing him to a wall and beating him with a metal chain.
In recent years the Culture Club singer has also been accused of transphobia – allegations he has denied – after calling the disclosing of pronouns “a modern form of attention seeking”.
