9.) Brandi West aka "The Killer Drag Queen"
Description
She sparkled onstage—but behind the lashes and sequins was a storm waiting to break.
Brandi West was a beloved drag performer known for her fierce looks and electric stage presence. But behind the scenes, jealousy and personal betrayal turned deadly when a love triangle spiraled out of control. What followed was a murder that shook the queer nightlife community—and blurred the line between performance and reality.
In this episode, we explore a case that’s equal parts heartbreaking and sensational, while shedding light on the pressures of queer visibility, toxic relationships, and the hidden pain behind the makeup.
Hosted by Jordi and Brad, Beers With Queers uncovers true crime stories from the LGBTQ+ world that deserve to be told.
Grab a drink. Press play. And meet the queen who slayed—in more ways than one.
