'RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 10' Finalist Bosco Suspended from X After Impersonating Official Show Account

Bosco, known for her sharp humor and unfiltered online presence, was suspended from X (formerly Twitter) in mid-July after she changed her display name and profile imagery to mimic the official RuPaul’s Drag Race account. The impersonation came just days ahead of the much-anticipated All Stars 10 finale, increasing the stunt’s visibility among fans and LGBTQ+ communities worldwide.

The suspension followed a string of satirical posts where Bosco, still tweeting from her original @hereisbosco handle, used the show’s branding to post tongue-in-cheek updates—including a joke claiming the show had “given RuPaul a gun.” The gag, typical of Bosco’s dark comedic sensibility, got laughs from followers but ultimately ran afoul of X’s impersonation policies, resulting in her account’s removal.

Impersonating official accounts—whether satirical or not—is strictly prohibited under X’s terms of service. While enforcement has varied under the platform’s recent leadership, high-profile cases—especially involving prominent LGBTQ+ users—often trigger immediate action. Bosco’s cheeky replies to fans, where she playfully confirmed herself as the “official” Drag Race account, added to the confusion and led to a wave of reports that ultimately got her booted.

The episode has reignited discussions about the fine line between parody, satire, and platform policy. Many in the Drag Race fandom, fluent in camp and irreverent humor, interpreted Bosco’s stunt as a cheeky nod to the franchise’s self-referential style. But X’s rigid impersonation rules and automated moderation systems left little room for context—even when the impersonation was clearly meant as satire to those in the know.

Since the suspension, Bosco has stayed active on Instagram, where she’s been posting memes and rallying fans under the hashtag #freebosco. Supporters and fellow queens have spoken out in solidarity, using the moment to criticize X’s moderation practices while also celebrating the power of queer humor as a form of digital resistance.

Social media has long been essential for queer performers to build community, advocate, and entertain. High-profile suspensions like Bosco’s underscore both the visibility LGBTQ+ creators have achieved—and the fragility of that presence under corporate content policies that can be inconsistently or harshly applied.

Bosco’s suspension comes at a time when platforms like X remain crucial for LGBTQ+ visibility and connection. Though the ban hasn’t dulled her spirit—she’s still engaging fans with her signature wit on other channels—it’s a stark reminder that even beloved queer icons aren’t immune to platform crackdowns.

Advocates have continued to call for more transparency and flexibility in content moderation, especially when it comes to parody and satire—cornerstones of drag and queer digital culture. As online spaces evolve, Bosco’s experience points to the need for platforms to better understand and support the marginalized communities they host.

For now, Bosco’s absence from X is both a loss for fans who miss her digital antics and a testament to the enduring strength of queer resilience—even in the face of online censorship.
