Elon Musk's Estranged Daughter Vivian Holds Up Trans Flag During Debut Drag Show for Pride Month
Elon Musk's estranged daughter Vivian Jenna Wilson proudly waved a trans flag while making her drag debut in Los Angeles for Pride Month. Wilson, 21, debuted her drag persona Vivllainous for a lip sync performance to singer JJ's hit 'Wasted Love' as part of the Pattie Gonia Presents SAVE HER! - An Environmental Drag Show event on Friday, June 14. The drag show was organized to raise money for a legal defense fund for migrants in the Los Angeles area. Dressed in a black bodysuit and corset, Wilson waved the trans flag and whipped her hair around during the energetic performance. Fellow performer Noxxia Datura later shared that she'd done Wilson's makeup for her drag debut. 'Painted @vivllainous for her drag debut at the SAVE HER! show, served cvnty moth and shook my fans 😝 thank you to @pattiegonia and the entire SAVE HER! team for having me!!! last night was sosososooo incredible,' Noxxia Datura confirmed via Instagram. Everything We Know About Elon Musk's Various Custody Battles and Child Support Payments Wilson posted several fan-recorded clips of her performance via her Instagram Stories as well, including one follower complimenting her 'lethal' hair flips. The Twitch streamer and model has spoken often about her rift with her father. Wilson told Teen Vogue earlier this year that she had been financially independent from Musk since coming out as trans in 2020. (Musk shares Wilson with his ex-wife Justine Wilson.) 'I haven't made any money from being famous at all,' she insisted. 'I have made zero dollars and zero cents. I do live in a lot of people's heads rent-free, though. I feel like Twitch streaming would be so much fun…. I don't feel like the world needs another Twitch streamer, but [I'd] love to do it.' She legally changed her last name from Musk to Wilson in 2022 because she 'no longer live[d] with or wish[ed] to be related to [her] biological father in any way.' Musk addressed his rift with his daughter later that year by claiming she'd been influenced 'full-on communism and a general sentiment that if you're rich, you're evil.' '[Our relationship] may change, but I have very good relationships with all [of my other children]. Can't win them all,' he wrote via X in October 2022. Earlier this year, Wilson poked fun at her father for welcoming two children with two different women within five months of each other. (Conservative author Ashley St. Clair announced in February that she'd delivered Musk's 13th child in 2024 while Shivon Zillis confirmed the birth of son Seldon Lycurgus in February, as well.) Where Elon Musk Stands With the Mothers of His 13 Children: A Guide 'Wow, if I had a nickel for every time I found out I had half-siblings through Reddit, I'd have two nickels … which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's happened twice, right?' she joked on TikTok. Musk is a father to 14 children with four different women. The mogul and ex-wife Justine share five living children from their eight-year marriage, as well as son Nevada, who died of sudden infant death syndrome when he was 10 weeks old. Musk and visual artist Grimes have three kids, while he shares four more with Neurolink executive Zillis. St. Clair announced in February she'd given birth to his 13th child, a son, five months earlier. In March, Wilson admitted to Teen Vogue that she wasn't keeping track of all of the half-siblings her father was adding to their family. 'I will say I do not actually know how many siblings I have if you include half-siblings,' she confessed 'That's just a fun fact. It's really good for two truths and a lie. I found out about the Shivon Zilis thing [at] the same time everyone else did. I had no idea before that.'

Michael Kors Joins the American LGBTQ+ Museum Board of Trustees
The American LGBTQ+ Museum, a new space scheduled to open in New York City in 2027, announced today that it had elected the fashion designer Michael Kors and his husband Lance Le Pere to the Board of Trustees. 'We are thrilled to join the Board of Trustees and be part of such a historic endeavor,' they said in a statement. 'It's more important than ever to preserve and celebrate LGBTQ+ history and culture. Our community has such a rich history and many stories to tell.' Construction for the museum's physical space began in December 2024, in a new wing of The New York Historical on Central Park West, and in the meantime, it has been offering public events and programming, most recently 'Queer Justice,' a traveling exhibition created in collaboration with Lambda Legal, which details the history of the legal organization for its 50th anniversary. 'We are honored to have Michael and Lance join our Board,' stated Ben Garcia, the museum's executive director in the press release. 'They bring an enormous amount of expertise in philanthropy at a local and global scale, and we are excited to have their incredible leadership, dedication, and generosity on our side.' Kors and Le Pere are known for their support of organizations including God's Love We Deliver—which named its SoHo headquarters building after the designer—along with the United Nations World Food Programme, the Roundabout Theatre Company, the NYC Aids Memorial Park, and Lincoln Center Theater, among others.

The actress, who played Lily Tucker-Pritchett in the iconic ABC sitcom, announced she's bisexual in an Instagram reel celebrating Pride Month. Using audio from Lily's memorable 'I am gay' scene, Anderson-Emmons told followers, 'People keep joking so much about me being gay when I literally am (I'm bi).' It is a sentimental occasion for many viewers who watched Anderson-Emmons grow up on the beloved ABC sitcom from 2011 to 2020. Gushing over the reel-to-reel legacy of Modern Family, a fan commented on IG, 'Coming out to this audio is truly iconic.' Another echoed the emotion, saying, 'Mitch and Cam are gonna be so proud.' A Reddit user summarized the Modern Family fandom's feelings, noting, 'I can just imagine this episode of Modern Family and Cam somehow quietly squealing, crying of happiness and support, while Mitchell fidgets with excitement. Happy Pride, Aubrey!' Anderson-Emmons made her acting debut at the age of three when she joined the Modern Family's Season 3 cast in 2011. Within a year of her TV debut, she made history as the youngest nominee and recipient of a Screen Actors Guild Award.

The actress appeared in an episode of Just Trish, where she was candid about her Modern Family journey. Anderson-Emmons gushed, 'Modern Family has brought me so many blessings, and I'm forever grateful.' She added, 'But I think kids need to have a normal experience. I definitely felt more troubled as I got older because of the show.' The Modern Family star also dished on her mental state once the series wrapped up. Anderson-Emmons admitted, 'I felt I didn't know what I wanted to do after the show. Figuring out your own hobbies and experiences is important—not having your parents choose for you.'
