carmen takes the cake


According to the LA Times, TLC pulled an episode of Cake Boss, a reality show set in a bakery in New Jersey, after they used Carmen Carrera,  a reality TV personality  and entertainer who appeared on RuPaul's Drag Race and RuPaul's Drag U, as the punchline to a prank.

In that episode, Carrera was hired to flirt with some of the bakery’s employees as a bit.

How did it go? See for yourself:



Carrera said the producers lured her on to the show under false pretenses. I'll be honest, I'm not sure about that from watching the above clip.

Nonetheless, TLC agreed to remove the episode from future airings, at least for the time being.
