Overview
- Lore Atlanta promoted an 'Ethel vs Lana Drag Brunch,' prompting Del Rey to comment on Instagram, 'Sadly, none of this is funny. She's abusive and that's all there is to it,' before the remark disappeared.
- The venue later posted a screenshot of a direct message that appeared to be from Del Rey reading 'Fuck you,' adding in its caption that her account was blocked.
- Drag performer Annie Agurl, who said she conceived the show, reported being flooded with hostile messages from Del Rey fans and said the singer restricted her account and removed her as a follower.
- The nightclub billed the brunch as Atlanta performers taking on hits and deep cuts from both artists, reflecting a common drag format that riffs on pop-culture rivalries.
- The feud traces to Del Rey sharing a snippet of an unreleased track referencing Ethel Cain, after which Cain posted that Del Rey had blocked her on Instagram, though Del Rey’s new 'abusive' claim remains unexplained.
