Shangela Laquifa Wadley, commonly referred to as Shangela and professionally known as Darius Jeremy Pierce or DJ Pierce, is a professional drag queen, actor, a contestant from RuPaul's Drag Race and comedian from Paris, Texas.
D.J. grew up as an only child with a single Army vet mom, a hard-working aunt and his grandparents, some of D.J.'s biggest supporters. D.J.'s grandpa was a pig and cattle farmer ranchhand. D.J.'s childhood was spent singing in the church choir, playing Atari Pole Position and tracing dresses from the bridal section of D.J.'s granny's JCPenney catalog. - Quoted from Shangela's website.
One of Shangela's first performances in drag was when he was 16 in 10th grade. D.J. had to do a book report for his English class. The book was Huck Finn, and D.J. re-wrote the lyrics of Tina Turner's "Proud Mary" and performed as Jim from the book, earning him a high grade.[citation needed]
He was choreographing Beyoncé’s Single Ladies for three guys doing a charity event. One of the guys got sick the night before the show and his friends asked him to fill in. He was running late for the show and they called to ask for his drag name. He didn’t have one and thinking that it’s going to be a one-time thing, said to just put down anything...

On May 4, 2023, We're Here producer Daniel McGarrigle filed a Civil Lawsuit against Shangela, stating that in 2020 Shangela sexually assaulted him. McGarrigle stated that in February 2020, at an after-work party, Shangela gave him 5 shots and 2 mixed drinks then brought him back to his hotel to help pack for an early flight. When they got to the hotel, he vomited and Shangela allowed him to sleep in her bed fully clothed, but when he awoke he was naked with a bottle of poppers poured on the side of his face and Shangela attempting to perform anal sex while he was asleep. McGarrigle said in the suit that he tried saying no but that he was very weak, and that Shangela said throughout the encounter "I know you want it, and you are going to take it." McGarrigle initially did not report the incident out of fear of losing his job, and he later resigned in the summer of 2021 after having to have a civil relationship with Shangela for work. As of May 2023, McGarrigle has been in contact with the local police in Louisiana where the incident took place, but no charges have been filed.
After the allegations came forward, Shangela said that “This newest filing is nothing but an attempt to shake down both me and a well-regarded television company... No one should be fooled: it has no basis in fact or in law, and it will not succeed.” A representative for We're Here said that the network received a complaint in July 2021 regarding "an incident that was alleged to have occurred in early 2020.” Buckingham Television, the show's network, said that they launched an investigation but could not find sufficient evidence to support the allegations.
