Overview
In June 2020, during the height of the worldwide COVID-19 Pandemic, a long-time cast leader resigned from their long-time leadership position. Seeking to expand their power and influence over others, many self-appointed, ambitious, and delusional Rocky Horror shadowcast members, many of them believing that they were chosen by Loretta, began to vie for the exalted, yet non-existent position of "#1 King/Queen Shit of Rocky Horror". Operating from the relatively safe and comfortable environment of social media, long-time rivalries that had been simmering for years finally reached critical mass. As a result, an atmosphere of fear, mass hysteria, hostility, and paranoia gripped the so-called Rocky Horror "community". Augmented by lies, unsubstantiated claims, false accusations, finger-pointing, character assassination, smears, cruelty, insults, and petty jealousies, some people who had been involved with Rocky Horror for decades had their lives ruined. Friendships ended, and old friends became enemies. It is considered to one of the most unfortunate events in the history of the so-called Rocky Horror "community".
