“Can I just say, it felt incredible?"

Shea Couleé has had it with sexist, racist, homophobes. Officially.

The Drag Race All Stars winner shared details about a confrontation she had with a man who was harassing a trio of teens. Today a man harassed 3 teenage girls calling them “whores” outside of Starbucks. I immediately told him that he was inappropriate, and to not speak to young women that way,” In response, the man turned to Shea and called her the N-word and a f----t.

That was all Shae needed to hear before she exacted caffeinated justice. “I threw my full iced Americano in his face,’ she wrote.

Then because people don’t know when to mind their business, another person tried to intervene. “Then some crusty old white dude told me that my reaction was uncalled for even though he sat there the entire time while this man harassed these other girls and myself. Firstly, as a white person, NEVER tell a black person how to respond to being called [the N-word.]”

Period.

“And second, he’s lucky I didn’t have a second iced americano, cuz he would have been covered in espresso too,” she continued.

Does she regret it? Nope. “I have NEVER in my life thrown a drink on someone. And can I just say, it felt incredible?” she confessed.

Slow clap.

Her fans immediately offered her support and praise.

In response to commenters commending her willingness to stand up for the teen girls that the first man was harassing she explained why men need to do better. "That was truly the part that bothered me. Men need to do better and stand up," Shea replied. "The only other person looking out for those girls besides me and [my partner] Dan of course was a WOMAN. But then this MAN wanted to put his two cents in after all was said and done. Like, shut up you coward."

Shea truly is an All Star, at life.
