RuPaul's Drag Race UK season 4 star Pixie Polite revealed that she was targeted in a "homophobic" assault that involved "violence" — noting that she was specifically punched "in the back of her neck/head."
Pixie first shared the following statement via Instagram stories.
"Just got assaulted in Tesco at Colliers Wood
Punched in the back of the neck
Sick of this shit."

Pixie returned to social media some time later with an update to the situation. The post read:
"Hi all,
Lots of messages, texts and calls. All appreciated and seen but no brain space to respond properly so just popping a lil something here for now
Main point is I'm ok, police were surprisingly great.
An incident that evolved from general comments and mocking, into verbal homophobic abuse, then into violence.
When they catch the guy it will be prosecuted as there's CCTV, witnesses and I also got a picture of the guy.
Mentally fine, but heading to hospital with suspected concussion. But overall soooo fine."

After being able to recover herself, Pixie shared a new update — this time to her Instagram grid. The Drag Race UK star wrote:
"Majorly appreciate everyone's concern and blown away by the amount of messages I have received.
Feeling a little groggy today, and have taken the day off to rest and process what happened.
Overall I'm pretty much fine but I am feeling the same sense of righteous indignation I felt last night. So please enjoy this picture of me looking like a bad ass, while I daydream about justice today."
