“RuPaul’s Drag Race” gives viewers more than just fashion, comedy, and heart-wrenching moments.
Sometimes, too, RuPaul himself becomes centered in a feud with a contestant.
According toCheat Sheet, Pearl’s journey on the show was rocky.
“I actually would and I would win TBH,” she said (via Cheat Sheet).
According toCheat Sheet, one episode of the season saw Pearl and RuPaul in a short stare down.
At this point, many viewers thought Pearl appeared uninterested in the competition.
This prompted the stare, with RuPaul trying to gain some insight into Pearl’s headspace.
Pearl, then, said, “Do I have something on my face?”
Of note is another experience with RuPaul in which Pearl believes she was dismissed by the host.
“I turned to RuPaul and said, ‘Oh my god, thank you so much.
Just giving her everything I ever wanted to say to her,” Pearl recalled.
Pearl explained that she “idolized” RuPaul and that the reaction was “disrespectful.”
“That was not the only negative experience I had on set.
It’s not just me,” she revealed, viaGay Times.
Michelle Visage, a resident “Drag Race” judge, has also chimed in regarding the controversy.
Because they want the magic," she explained (viaAttitude).
Overall, some details of this feud will never be known.
