A video showing a young “drag queen” dancing at a party sponsored by a gay hookup app is sparking outrage on social media, with many calling the clip “disturbing.”
On April 29, Dr. Anastasia Maria Loupis uploaded a TikTok to her Twitter showing a clip of a young boy dancing at a party surrounded by adults. The child is seen wearing a short pink dress and black latex high-heeled boots, and appears to be the only minor in the crowd.
In the corner of the TikTok, the words “Sponsored by Jack’d” can be seen. Jack’d is a chat and dating app similar to Grindr for gay and bisexual men seeking sex.
The video can be traced to an event which took place on February 16 of this year. The boy in the video is known as Ally Marc Jacobs, a prolific “drag kid” born Kingston Wells.
Wells originally posted the video to his TikTok and Instagram, tagging Jamari Amour in the description and calling him “dad.” Jamari is a gay porn model and choreographer who has been a mentor to Wells in his drag training.
This is not the first time videos of Wells performing for adults have gone viral on social media. The child recently caused outrage on Twitter after footage began to circulate showing him dancing in a black latex dress and high-heeled boots for an audience of adults. The video, which was filmed in March, was taken at the Brtb TV Awards Ball in New York.
On Instagram, Wells revealed that Jamari Amour had been the one to bring him to New York from his home in Los Angeles to perform at the Ball.
Wells’ Instagram account currently has over 15,000 followers and is said to be “mom monitored,” but the boy’s parents are never seen in his videos.
The child’s social media history suggests his parents had been attempting to get him involved in performing from a very early age, with photos and videos uploaded as early as 2015 showing he had been entered into various singing and acting contests. Wells’ family had seemingly traveled from Dayton, Ohio to Los Angeles regularly for auditions, eventually moving there outright. Wells has multiple siblings who were also involved in “show business” from very young ages.
In videos from 2015 and 2016, when he would have been just 5 or 6 years of age, Wells can be seen boisterously performing in auditions with the purpose of getting a role in a Disney commercial. The videos are tagged “younghollywood” and “futurestar.”
Wells was selected for the commercial and appeared in a Disney advertisement in 2016.
In January of 2018, Wells uploaded a video to his Instagram titled “King and Zoe” showing his “male” and “female” sides confronting each other. It marks the first instance of the child’s gender identity being mentioned.
The video’s description reads: “Have you ever met Zoe? Zoe has been around since I was 4 years old, and as I get older…Zoe becomes more a part of me everyday!!! I’m still Kingston, but I LOVE being Zoe. Hope you like my first lil scene my mom shot for me!”
Following the video, Wells is seen wearing more feminine clothes in his photos and videos. He first attends a drag convention five months after he was first tagged as being a “gender fluid kid.” Wells becomes more involved in the drag scene over the coming year.
In a 2020 post ostensibly written by Wells’ mother, Wells is seen dressed as a “drag queen” for career day at his school. In the photo description, Wells’ mother uses “she/her” pronouns to refer to her son.
“Real talk… this morning was hard. I know kids are going to mess with her, I know she is going to be questioned… but this child has waited ALL YEAR for career day! She got up at 5:45 to put on her best drag, she secured her wig extra tight so no one would snatch it and she was soooo excited. I only wish at 10 I was as secure with who I WAS, AS THIS KID IS!!!! She’s going to be a drag queen when she grows up … so there.”
Following the 2020 post, Wells’ Instagram feed becomes almost entirely dedicated to his drag persona. He has attended multiple Ru Paul events, and quickly developed a profile within the drag community.
Wells has since been seen performing at several adult drag shows and parties in outfits that have become progressively more suggestive.
In 2022, Wells became officially affiliated with the House of Marc Jacobs, a dance collective participating in the ballroom scene. Ballroom culture is overwhelmingly associated with the gay male community, and began as a way for Black and Latino drag queens to organize their own pageants. Most participants in ballroom belong to dance groups known as “houses.” The House of Marc Jacobs was launched by Jamari Amour, Wells’ drag “dad,” with the official blessing of the Marc Jacobs brand.
Wells took the name Ally Marc Jacobs to represent his affiliation with the House.
In September of 2022, Wells was introduced as “the youngest member of the Marc Jacobs family” by Jamari Amour at an event. In the video, which was posted to Wells’ Instagram, Amour is seen wearing thong-shorts that prominently display his genital region as he invites Wells out to dance for an audience of primarily gay men. Wells then emerges wearing a blue tutu and corset and begins to dance while Amour and others scream “pussy cunt.”
Wells has since participated in multiple events on behalf of the House of Marc Jacobs.
“Drag kids” and child involvement in drag shows have become a boiling point in the debate surrounding gender ideology and its impact on children, especially since the controversial spread of Drag Queen Story Hours across North America and Europe. The controversy has been stoked by the arrests of multiple prominent drag queens for child sexual abuse-related offenses.
Last October, armed protestors and counter-protestors clashed outside of an Oregon drag queen storytime event after it was discovered that an 11-year-old female child would be performing. “Vanellope” was often ‘tipped’ by adult male drag performers found to have sent money to the child via a Venmo account set up in her name.
Days later, it was discovered “Vanellope’s” drag coach was facing child sexual exploitation material charges after exchanging abuse images with pedophiles on the internet.
Since then, protests outside of drag events have become a regular occurrence. In November, a transgender drag queen event directed at children in Denton, Texas was provided security from protestors by black-clad Antifa members armed with loaded guns.
