Cornbread “The Snack” Jette, a fan favorite queen of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” Season 14, has revealed she has cancer.
On Sunday, Cornbread (Demoria Ellis Williams) shared her news via social media, tweeting that she had been diagnosed with adenocarcinoma, a colorectal cancer.
“I’ll cut straight to the point! Recently I was diagnosed with adenocarcinoma. A type of cancer in the small intestine,” she tweeted.
The drag queen, who is set to appear in the upcoming “Hocus Pocus 2”, assured fans that she is doing fine.
“I am 100% fine and everything is in the early stages so I will be back to my normal self in no time. Absolutely treatable!” she shared.
Cornbread said she was disclosing her diagnosis to encourage others to see their doctors.
“I ask this to let everyone know that no matter how young you are, please get regular checkups. I’m glad I caught me at this stage. A lot of health things will be changing for me and I’m all for support. Grateful for it! Ready to be on stage again! Much love,” she concluded.
Cornbread made a splash earlier this year during season 14 of “RuPaul’s Drag Race”, winning the first challenge posed to the contestants. He had to withdraw from the competition several weeks later due to an ankle injury.
