World of Wonder, which produces Drag Race, said in a statement of its own, “We are heartbroken to learn of the demise of George Ward, a.k.a. Cherry Valentine. Cherry will always be a cherished member of our Drag Race family because she is an artist, a nurse, and an activist. Cherry touched the lives of countless people with her love and contagious giggle. We extend our sincere sympathies to her family and friends.
