Jools LebronTikTok sensation Jools Lebron’s popularity has skyrocketed so much after going viral for her “demure” way of life, that she said she was sought out to appear at the Democratic National Convention.
In her appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Aug. 19, the TikTok star told guest co-host RuPaul that the DNC reached out for her to appear at the event, but joked she was unable to attend because she "had a wig appointment.”
RuPaul quipped that he “knows a little something about that,” before thanking her for coming onto the show.
