A Brazilian drag artist posted an image last week of herself with another drag queen, who she claims is Rep. George Santos. Rep. Santos denies ever having been a drag queen.
Samuel Corum / Sipa USA via AP fileEmbattled Republican Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y., said claims that he performed as a drag queen are “categorically false.” His denial comes shortly after a Brazilian drag performer shared on social media an image of herself and another person in drag, whom she identified as the newly elected congressman.
Last week, Brazilian drag artist Eula Rochard posted an image on Facebook and Instagram of herself with a person wearing a red feathery dress, bright red lipstick and dangling chandelier earrings. Rochard, who is identified as Eula Rorard in the photo, claims the other person in drag went by the stage name Kitara Ravache and is, in fact, Santos.
NBC News has not independently verified the images posted on Rochard’s social media accounts, which she said originally appeared in a Brazilian newspaper in 2008. As of Thursday afternoon, the images had been widely circulated on social media and news websites. Rochard, who described herself as the “RuPaul” of Brazil, said she knew Santos when he was “coming up” in the drag world and said she was a mentor to him. She described him as having an “outgrown sense of grandeur” and added that “he lied all the time.”
