NEW YORK, NY — Drag performer Bianca Castro-Arabejo, who was known as reality television star Jiggly Caliente on “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” has died. She was 44.
Her family says she died days after a “serious infection” that led to hospitalization and leg amputation.
Castro-Arabejo became a judge on “Drag Race Philippines” in 2022 but scrapped plans to appear on the upcoming season after the recent hospitalization.
She competed on the fourth season of “Drag Race.”
A statement from the show says her talent, truth and impact will never be forgotten.
