The Dallas LGBTQ+ community has cut ties with voice actor Kiba Walker this week. What started as whispers on social media has exploded into a full-blown scandal that’s left everyone asking tough questions about trust, safety, and accountability within our beloved entertainment spaces. Pride in Dallas made the difficult but necessary decision to sever all ties with drag performer Salem Moon after devastating allegations surfaced.
Dallas LGBTQ+ Severs Ties With Kiba Walker
Let me tell you, when Korey Solomon stepped forward on July 30th, it took incredible courage. The voice actor, who goes by BladeWillBe professionally, didn’t hold back when he posted his allegations on X (formerly Twitter). His story? Heartbreaking. Solomon accused Kiba Walker – that’s Salem Moon’s real name – of grooming him starting when he was just 15 years old.
Think about that for a second. Fifteen. That’s a kid who should be worrying about homework and weekend plans, not dealing with inappropriate advances from a 22-year-old adult. According to Solomon’s account, Walker approached him under the pretense of offering “free music education.” What kind of sick person uses a teenager’s dreams and aspirations as bait? The whole thing makes any person’s stomach turn.
What allegedly started as a mentorship quickly turned into something much darker, with Kiba Walker reportedly sending inappropriate messages and requesting explicit content from a minor. But Solomon wasn’t fighting this battle alone. The very next day, voice actor James L. Molloy found the strength to share his own story. “Kiba Walker groomed me,” he posted, describing experiences that began when he was 17. Molloy even provided a Google document filled with screenshots – evidence that’s hard to ignore.
In response, the 1851 club in Arlington, as well as The Pride in Dallas, addressed the troubling allegations by severing ties with Kiba Walker. The club posted, “In light of the recent developments involving a performer who has previously worked at 1851, we want to be clear: We take these matters seriously.” The fact that Molloy admitted he couldn’t bring himself to read through all their exchanges because they were “too triggering” should tell you everything you need to know about the severity of these situations.
The club added, “The safety of our community — that means our patrons, our staff, our performers — comes first, always. Out of respect for the seriousness of the claims, we have parted ways with the performer in question. We are a small, community-based space built on kindness, inclusivity, and being a place for having fun and making new friends. We’re listening, we’re paying attention, and we’re committed to creating a safe space for everyone.”
Final Thoughts
The Pride in Dallas made the following statement, “Pride in Dallas has been made aware of serious allegations involving one of our previously announced participants, Salem Moon. After careful consideration, the Board of Directors has made the decision to formally terminate our relationship with the individual. This action is based on a clear conflict with the mission, values, and integrity of Pride in Dallas. We remain committed to fostering a safe, inclusive, and accountable environment for all members of our community.”
This whole Kiba Walker situation serves as a wake-up call for everyone involved in creative communities. We need better systems for protecting young talent, clearer boundaries between mentors and students, and zero tolerance for anyone who would exploit their position of power. What matters most right now is supporting Solomon and Molloy. The bravery they’ve shown in coming forward publicly could prevent other young people from experiencing similar trauma.
