Zachary Willmore, the first male student ever crowned homecoming queen in Missouri, has spoken out against the wave of renewed criticism surrounding his 2021 win, a moment he once described as “literally like a dream.”
The controversy resurfaced this month after a social media post went viral, calling his crowning a “slap in women’s faces across the world.”
The 22-year-old influencer responded directly, wondering why an event from four years ago was suddenly back in the spotlight. “Why is this going viral?” he asked on October 7, reposting the thread that had spread across Facebook.
