RuPaul hit back against a drag queen’s offensive joke following the recent death of Drag Race U.K. winner, The Vivienne. Tyra Sanchez, 36, who won the second season of RuPaul’s Drag Race, sparked an outcry when she responded to an old tweet by The Vivienne.

The U.K. drag superstar competed on the first season of "Drag Race UK" and returned to star on "All Stars 7," with Michelle Visage remembering her as "a beacon to so many."

The drag and theater communities are penning tributes to James Lee Williams, better known as The Vivienne, who died at age 32.
