      Agreed. Reality shows love painful contestant backstories to exploit. Ru was definitely trying to stare Pearl down hoping for some emotional reaction. I've always felt those dressing room "vulnerable" moments are somewhat coaxed out of the girls by production. Ru stole a few pages from Tyra Banks' playbook that's all I'll say.

    Pearl is fricking cool in person. I met her once backstage at Berlin Nightclub when I was helping out one of my drag friends to put on her gloves.

    The interesting thing about drag race fans is that none of them forget. They can push out 12 seasons in 3 weeks and people will still wonder when a queen from seasons ago will come back.

      I mean Willam is Willam. At the end of the day Willam said that she would like to return on AS, because it would be such a gag. But at this point with how strict production is; it becomes less of what we want out of the show.
      If they are smart enough; they would let queens like Willam and Pearl come on, because that would most definitely give more traction to the show.

There is so much shit happening behind the scenes and so much covering up, more than half of those people would see their careers fall into shreds if their real characters came out.

    How can someone react so dramatically to a harmless phrase ’do I have something on my face?’ ! Why couldn’t Ru just laugh it off or volley something back (which he is obsessed with saying about snatch game). Drag queens are shady and quick and funny, Ru showed none of that in this exchange. Just acted like a big brat. He needed to get over himself, like when he says ‘make me laugh’ or don’t take anything serious, be irreverent etc. total hypocrite. I think this moment and what he and Michelle said on their podcast (which was appalling childish and vindictive) showed his true colours, an egomaniac with a thin skin. Willam has been right in what he’s called them out for. , yes Ru doesn’t owe anyone anything but don’t be two faced and try and ruin queen’s careers because you don’t like them, so petty!

    I can’t stand how disrespectful they were toward her. Calling her a stoner and low energy. Like what the fuck. I’m low energy and blah as fuck most days. Not every drag queen/human being bounces off the walls and is talkative and annoying all the time. There ARE introverted drag queens. Not to mention people who come from trauma deal with depression and anxiety. There are literal chemical imbalances and reasons why they are low energy. It’s so offensive. Drag race culture is so toxic sometimes and rupaul is smarter than this.
    I hate to say this and come off assumption but Rupaul gives off very never-struggled-with-depression vibes. Like you can tell he is the type of person who doesn’t understand it since he’s never had to deal with it. The privilege.

I just hope that people understand that although drag race is awesome it is not validation for any of these queens. Brita and Tina Burner and so many other NYC queens are so successful. Complete show stoppers. I saw a Brita show and it was the best performance I've ever seen. And they get on the show and the producers have other storylines they want to push and they just fall by the wayside. I hope some of these queens that are successful in their own right realize that they don't need to do this show. It's great entertainment but you can be just as successful outside the show. And you won't have to go in debt buying outfits.

      You should have the least amount of storyline happening behind the camera, because it may become very hard to edit because the references might connect the events that happened while cameras were turned off. This includes not just the information exchanged, but also relationship development.
      also, saying Ru doesn't care about these girls? He is the face of the platform that transformed unknown queens into superstars leading the change. If his sign of maltreatment is telling one girl that she should be talking to him only when the cameras are on, I'm perfectly okay with that. I am thankful to Ru for everything he has done.

Pearl knew that Ru Paul's show was not the platform for her story, it was the time for her to be convinced that she was back on her feet and although she didn't win the season, she won the heart of many, who sent her good vibes and good wishes for the rest of her life.

      @@derrickelliott3874 So, so true. To Ru’s credit, and I’m not sharing this for gossip but rather awareness, Lady Bunny said years ago that there was a period where Ru was “on her death bed” and “went away to die” (AKA AIDS). If you look at her on Project Runway this was around one of those periods, she clearly was not well. I think part of her behaviour today stems from neurological damage that she experienced when she was literally on her death bed before the stronger ARVs were introduced. Again, not saying this to be an ass, but I think it explains her very off energy and distance from people. I have a friend who was infected in the early 80s and survived - they are very similar to Ru.

    Rupaul is calculating and manipulative, and not necessarily a warm personality. He created a brand for himself, and lost his humanity in the process. He feels he knows the magical recipe for being succesful and professional, acting like this all-knowing god, and expects every contestant on the show to see him as a god.
    It's very obvious throughout the years how fake everything has become, from his interactions in the workroom, to his fake emotions and sensitive moments 'we are all one family' trying to emulate a normal person's reactions, to the tired recycled quotes and Cher moments.
    He couldn't care less for any of these queens.
    Of course, contestants should be aware of what they sign up for, but there still should be a minimum of respect in the process of making this show. And Rupaul would better follow his own repetitive advice to the contestants of 'showing more vulnerability', it would do the show good.

    It's interesting,I watched Pearl's season recently, and I thought she was being very mild considering how rude RuPaul was. Ru's behavior was shocking, but never Pearl's. She was just standing up for herself. It's surprising to hear some people thought Pearl went too far just because she didn't submit to an abuser.
