Scarlet Envy (born February 26, 1992), is the stage name of Jacob James Grady, an American drag queen, reality television personality, singer, and performer who is best known for competing on the eleventh season of RuPaul's Drag Race (2019), the sixth season of its spin-off, RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars (2021), and the second series of RuPaul's Drag Race: UK vs. the World (2024).[2]

Early life

Grady was raised in Louisville, Kentucky, by two mothers, both named Sherri.[3] During childhood, he ran cross country for twelve years.[4] In 2014, he graduated from the Fashion Institute of Technology with a degree in advertising design.[3]

Career

Scarlet Envy first started drag in college, choosing her name from the lead character of the film Gone with the Wind, Scarlett O'Hara.[5] She entered a drag pageant, where she learned that she didn't have the typical drag skills of dancing and pageantry. This experience, and having drag queen friends, ignited her drag career. She has credited her successful career to persistence, energy, and acceptance.[6] Scarlet Envy is the "drag daughter" of Drag Race season 7 finalist Pearl.[7]

After auditioning four times,[3] Scarlet Envy was cast on the eleventh season of Drag Race in 2018.[8] She won the second episode's challenge along with Yvie Oddly.[9] She participated in a six-way lip sync on the third episode,[10] won the mini-challenge in the fourth episode,[11] and was eliminated on the sixth episode, after placing in the bottom two and losing a lip-sync to Ra'Jah O'Hara.[12] Scarlet Envy returned for the sixth season of RuPaul's Drag Race: All Stars, which aired in 2021.[7] She placed safe in the first four episodes and was eliminated in the fifth by Ginger Minj, placing ninth overall.[13] In 2024, she released a music video of her single "All Night", with appearances of other famous drag queens such as Raja Gemini, Manila Luzon and Kylie Sonique Love.[14] She also released her first poetry book titled "She's a Poet", talking about love, show business and identity.[15] Also in 2024, Scarlet appeared in the second season of UK vs. the World, where she placed 5th, ultimately being sent home by Australian drag queen, Hannah Conda. During her run on DRUK vs the World, Scarlet won the acting challenge and placed high in the Snatch Game the following week. She was applauded for her “glow up” and elevated runways, being heavily supported by the fan base.

Scarlet Envy played the title role of Yma Sumac in a production of The Legend of Yma Sumac at The Laurie Beechman Theatre, New York City.[16][17] She was also featured on a season finale of Saturday Night Live as a dancer during Katy Perry's performance of "Swish Swish", alongside fellow Drag Race contestants Brita Filter, Vivacious, and Yuhua Hamasaki.[18] She made a special guest appearance in the second season of iCarly, in the episode "iDragged Him" as Lana Del Slay.

When filming promo material for RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 14, Allstars 6, Scarlet Envy said the now iconic line, “Is is it me? Am I the drama? I don’t think so…Maybe I am?”. This was in response to the entire cast being asked “who is the villain of the season?”, and her energetic answer became an audio clip used by thousands of videos across social media platforms and by celebrities such as Lady Gaga. It also has over 1.5 million views on the RuPaul’s Drag Race TikTok account.[19]

Personal life

Grady lived in New York City from 2010 to 2022,[20][21] before moving to Los Angeles in November 2022.

Activism

In March 2023, Scarlet partnered with a Lexington advertising business, Cornett, in a campaign to show their support for drag in the office and the community amidst push for anti-drag legislation in Kentucky.[22]
