Perhaps the biggest controversy to date for former "Rupaul's Drag Race" winner Tyra Sanchez was the DragCon threat in 2018. Shortly before RuPaul's DragCon in Los Angeles, Sanchez was banned from the event after making threat towards other queens Tatianna and Phi Phi O'Hara online (per Gay Times). She posted a countdown to her official website with the acronym "B.O.O.M," which ticked away the seconds until the event began. The threats and countdown led fans and followers to fear that she would attack the event and harm the others.
She then posted an email sent from World of Wonder Productions, asking for an apology. "This apology has to make it clear that you do not condone violence against another person (including other queens) and that you will in no way encourage others to act violently (or otherwise inappropriately)" the email stated. In response, Sanchez issued a half-apology video, but was told it wasn't enough. "I will not be apologizing again for something that happened last month. I apologized then for my anger, my temper, my behavior and my choice of words," she said in response.
