While the Who Hotter than Me contest is a chance for dancers to shine, many eyes will likely be on the celebrity judge for the Aug. 26 event at Whiteville High – a crossdressing makeup artist and dance coach.
Tyrus Sellers is listed as a “coach and makeup artist” who is best known for his work with the Elite Starz of Nashville, Tenn., a nationally known dance troupe. He has also participated in several reality shows, and has earned a social media following where he is known by his nickname, “Boo Boo Kitty”. Sellers uses the handle “coachboobookitty” on Instagram, where multiple photographs show Sellers in a variety of women’s clothing.
Concerned parents began contacting CCN Wednesday night.
“Is Whiteville City Schools allowing a drag queen to host a so-called “dance competition” at Whiteville High School on August 26th? If so, are you okay with that?” one message read. “Please contact WCS and demand to know what’s going on August 26th. If this is correct, and is allowed, we will see more drag queens in our schools soon. This is not the woke cesspool of Raleigh or Charlotte. It’s small town USA and the citizens of this area do not want drag queens in our schools.”
The show is not sponsored by the school system, but by a private business, Solid Hitters Majorette Dancing. The contact person for the group, Alisha Love, refused to answer a reporter’s questions about the program and abruptly ended the call.
The competition show at WHS is billed as “the most electrifying dance competition of the year”, according to the Eventbrite webpage. Majorette dance teams from all over the country are scheduled to attend and compete.
We have reached out to the Whiteville City Schools and WHS for a comment.
