7 Gia Gunn Controversies Explained - RuPaul's Drag Race Drama - RPDR

[@DragTeaServed]

What do you think of Gia Gunn?

[@chryssmyth1113]

Gia is the Number One Lady

[@NOSOYDILO0O]

I really like her, she is a queen that makes drama and i live for that

[@sherikrupp]

No thanks 👌🏼 Lots of queens to follow and care about. Wish her all the best but she ain’t the one for me.

[@bobthebuilder7104]

So messy and exactly why we love her🤣

[@maddiepearce2758]

Gia just often says things without thinking. I rented a wheelchair for Dragcon in 2019 because I have a chronic illness and when I didn’t rent one the year before I couldn’t walk for multiple days after. Anyway I came up to visit Gia and said I wanted to get out of the chair for a picture. She started grilling me about why I was in a wheelchair (i think the exact words I used were “I have a genetic disease where if I get cold or tired my joints swell up and I cant walk!”) she said “oh you have Dragcon Disease so you don’t have to wait in line”. It really bothered me and the kicker was she didnt have any line at that time anyway, so I don’t know who she thought I was skipping in line. It really turned me off her from that point

[@Astrakkun]

Girl….. she said W H A T

[@paullyPIAA]

OY

[@lethaldream50]

that is so fucking offensive, i ALSO have a chronic illness that means i can only walk some of the time, or for short lengths and distances of time, sounds like it's possible we might have something similar from what you said although im sure neither of us wants to get too specific. the last time i went to a con and actually walked around the whole time i was also in pain for weeks afterward and these days it wouldnt even be possible for me to walk around a con for even 1/2 a day. but that doesnt mean i can't walk at all, and it doesnt mean i cant stand up! SMH sorry you had that experience with Gia, she's always been one of the most dislikable queens to me and ive watched since s1, but when it's something personal like ignorant comments about disability or gender or race etc that's when it really hits.

[@piaaadah]

Funny because when I saw her in 2019 at dragcon she was just standing and waving at people by herself 🤣 I was in a wheelchair that year as well and wanted to stand for pictures and got the rudest comments from fans "oh she's faking her disability" etc etc Edit: many people in the Fandom are ableist, I'm not suprised to hear comments like this anymore. Trixie was one of the worst when I met her so damn rude

[@lethaldream50]

@@piaaadah damn, that's so effed up. as someone who can also stand/walk short distances or only walk part of the time this kind of stuff boils my blood. do you mind spilling the tea on Trixie? i have always gotten the weirdest vibe from her....

[@nilufer6773]

There was another tweet of Gia which was a response to Farrah. Gia referred to Farrah as "man/woman whatever you are" which is absolutely rude and offensive, especially coming from a transgender queen who claims to be a trans activist. I just wanted to add this because that phrase really hurt me. I know she creates drama to not fade away in the background with all the new talented queens, but she should have chosen better words.

If I haven’t said it lately, thank you for your captions. I’m a Deaf fan, and I guess there just aren’t many of us because so damn much of the RPDR content does not have captions - or only uses the auto captions, and those don’t work great because of all the drag slang and annunciation. You are one of a handful of creators who are accessible to me, and it is so deeply appreciated.

[@DragTeaServed]

Thank you so much for this lovely comment and I'm so glad it helps you! It takes me a long time to manually type out the captions, but knowing that it helps people like you makes it all worth it :)

[@pembrokelove]

@@DragTeaServed it really does help me a lot. I love to pawticipate in Drag Race fan discussions and am unable to in the comments of many, many RPDR videos; people seem to have difficulty understanding that I ask for a summary because I truly cannot listen to the videos. Big dummies! Went on a bit of a tangent there, but just know how very appreciated your efforts are!

​@@inkylabyrinth I don't get what you're saying???How's she that when she is trans it doesn't make sense 🤔 so please make it it clearer what you are trying to say. with or without makeup Gia looks like a woman so why would she be transphobic? this comment is from a black straight woman who is a allie to gay and trans community 💙🤍

[@LunalovaniaGaming]

I was taken aback when Farrah was comparing Gias face with the "scream mask" lmao. I was dying laughing! Don't say there was no glamour at dragcon if you don't want to get dragged.🤪😁 I love Gias drag art, but she needs some growing up to do. She acts like a 16 year old female who thinks the world revolves around her, and just cause she was on drag race and does drag, suddenly she thinks she's the know all and goddess of fashion, beauty and drag. No mam, no mam. All beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. All fashion is subjective, same with drag. What you find repulsive, others find magnificent. Gia doesn't understand this, and I hope one day she does, and she becomes a better person for it. Thank you so much for the upload. Much love and respect to you hun. ❤🤝

[@lmayson88]

I feel like being shady is just part of Gia’s brand. She knows how to play it up for drama. Tbh I was waiting for her to say something crazy after drag con and she did NOT disappoint lol. However I can see how other queens would perceive her tweet as hurtful/insulting and those are all valid.

[@TheKrilicious]

There's a difference between being shady and just being a cunt. Look at Trixie for example. She knows how to be shady and read a bitch, but she can take as much as she can dish. Gia's just mean for no reason, and when she gets called out or receives a negative response it's all like "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean it like that, I still learning to do better!". It's all bark with no bite

[@lerdog]

That's definitely the case, but she misses the mark many, many times

[@bens9061]

I love these videos, half because of the content, and half because I like hearing the way you say controversy. Much love!

[@sherikrupp]

Gia is the Trisha Paytas of Drag Race. She just says outlandish things because otherwise no one is paying attention to her. That anti vax, anti mask rant was repulsive and inexcusable though no matter how much she’s trolling. Not funny, girl.

[@msvenuscrane]

If only you knew. Gia be annoying sometimes & disrespecting any talent she has & maybe what she said about the mask thing she’s stupid in aspects about too & then backtracking. But the real t I don’t think most people can handle. I’d rather see someone trans criticising the government than being used by them. But a part of me thinks she was told to tweet about that since she’s considered the stupid queen. If someone intellectual like Sasha velour posted an hour video going through the history’s government abuse on people & exposed it people may feel differently if more join her. Or someone like shea. People have more loyalty to the government than indigenous people etc.

[@MicheleoTuTo]

@@msvenuscrane the point is not "she's criticizing the government". Literally every single queen that spoke after the show in some capacity criticized the government in some way, every single one of them. But none of them got this reaction. Why? Because what you say beyond "criticizing the government" is relevant. Are you criticizing it because they are being transphobic? Because they are forcing pro-life laws on women? Because they are supporting systematic racism and poice brutality? Or are you criticizing it because they asked you to put on a mask to protect other people's lives? Do you see the difference? I hope so, because if you don't, I'm scared for you (and honestly, you should go back to school and study a bit of logic and semantics)

[@mykittystinksbad2]

Funny you mentioned Trisha, they're both Taurus signs 🤣

[@Iheaartdia]

Peppermint came into the work room as trans during season 8 so Gia is full of it

[@queencaroline5926]

Peppermint was on season 9 darling

[@Dragula59]

rupaul has been at the very least iffy abt trans women (who do drag or not) tho. if i recall correctly he said something along the lines of the only difference between a drag queen and a trans woman is a lot of money/plastic surgery which can at least be read as comparing trans women to just men in dresses like (cis) drag queens are

[@samharper3246]

The most shocking thing from this video was... ALL STARS 4 WAS 2018!!!!!!! Omg that feels like a year ago

[@erikm8372]

Not sure if anyone remembers, but when she went on the Chilean show “The Switch 2: Drag Race” (w Kandy Ho as well), she nearly got physical with one of the Argentine queens, Sofia Cámara. I don’t know who started it exactly, but it came down to Gia feeling criticized as the only trans queen, or like she was accused of “cheating” at her drag, by being a female in the competition. So she had to “defend her honor”, I guess. A lot of arguing and screaming. And Sofia talks very loudly and high pitched, mixed with Gia’s voice too, it was a lot of screaming and whining! S then Gia got super close to Sofia, and started whipping her hair in Sofia’s face, saying “this is real woman hair! I’m not a man!” Basically, she’s not a disgusting man, like the rest of you queens… etc. Blah blah…and ultimately she & Sofia threw open water bottles at each other, before being separated. The Chilean media actually reported on it, on several talk shows (and radio, blogs, newspapers), saying that isn’t how Chileans or any Latinos need to “conduct” themselves, and Gia’s rude personality may be too over-the-top for their country. Also, unlike American reality TV, if I remember correctly, the host (Karla Constant) & one of the main coaches (Señora Patricia Maldonado!) came to the workroom to say they were “extremely embarrassed” by the fight, and “this is not how we want Chile represented (for/by the LGBTQ community)”. The best part of “The Switch” was the “elimination nomination mirror”, or “espejo de nominación,” where each queen picks who they want going to home that week; they then each had to stand on either side of a large mirror, and calmly tell each other the real tea… about how they feel, why they maybe dislike her, why they’re nominating her, etc. Gia’s attitude in Spanish is soooo funny.

[@GirtheAlienGoldfish]

I saw Gia performing a traditional dance at a show once. It was really gorgeous and I loved it. Gia herself is not a nice person. I don't know if it stems from insecurity or just genuine malice, but she has some work to do on her personality before I can get behind her. I met her for a VIP photo and Milk was there. Milk is one of my favorite queens, so I wanted to give her a hug. Gia was pissed off and shouting, "LET'S GOOO!!" Note, that I was going through a bone marrow transplant recovery and I couldn't move very fast. That just genuinely bothered me. I know that they had a lot of people to meet, but I at least wanted a chance to say hi to everyone.

[@itf2586]

If all you can offer to define your brand is being shady, quick w/ insults and an occasionally impressive runway look, that's kinda boring, but that's Gia Gunn. She's not a dancer, not good at comedy (i.e. stand-up, roasts, even reading mini-challenges), she can't act well or do impersonations, and I've seen her perform 2 lip syncs on Drag Race (the 2nd lip sync was better, but not "WOW" level). Point is, (unless I'm totally mistaken about her lack of performing talents), I would never pay to see one of her shows. And even all this aside, if her claim to fame is just being a villain (even in "reality TV") that shouldn't be something a person takes pride in, it's actually just sad. And she deserved any backlash she received for her unfounded Covid hoax stupidity.

[@dancefrance1]

this was excellent❤️quite honestly i have never heard Gina be nice. she’s comes across as being totally mean…..

[@peachesnmulder]

How many times does she need to receive backlash before she realizes she needs to think before she tweets? Apologies and backpedalling are accepted once or twice. When it becomes a pattern, people stop acknowledging her words and just lose interest. Someone recommend a PR person for her.

[@bbear2695]

from experience, being nice does in fact not get you further in life. you can live with yourself, sure. and once you weed out all the people using you for your kindness, the spare few decent people you have left will be ride or die for you. but being nice gets you nowhere in life success-wise.

[@carlospointofview]

@@MicheleoTuTo what we should accept is our lack of ability to laugh about ourselves, instead of getting offended by meaningless words 🤷‍♂️. Comedy is subjective. It shouldn’t be censored by lack of self awareness.

[@MicheleoTuTo]

​@@carlospointofview so if she makes a transphobic "joke" (as you put it) and a trans person is offended by that, we should ignore it because they are "meaningless words" and this trans person is just "lacking the ability to laugh about themselves", right? I'm wondering if you are one of those people who claim that using the n word is ok because "it's just a joke". I'm not a prude, I make non-pc jokes WITH MY FRIENDS all the time. I'm allowed to do that because they know me, deeply, and they know my actual thoughts about these serious matters. If you are a public figure, and you say something problematic, you have to realize that we don't know if you are joking or no, so we don't know if that's what you really think, or if it's comedy. The fact that the majority of the people got offended by what miss Gia said means (and this is the very best scenario) that her comedy didn't land, and she came off as offensive. But sure, if you want a world without any kind of respect and empathy for others, where you can say literally anything you want without any consequence because "you were joking", fine. Do you mind telling me a very sensitive topic of yours, so that I can make and incredibly offensive and abrasive joke about it and make you feel bad but hey, it's just comedy?

[@carlospointofview]

@@MicheleoTuTo well, to begin with, I don’t find someone saying there was a lack of “beauty” in drag con offensive, if you do, I’m sorry, this is very tough world and your parents should have taught you to be resilient. There was nothing racist of transphobic as you are making it seem like. Maybe you should get the 5 G’s and stop feeling so offended just because someone called you ugly. I hope you haven’t heard of this queen named Bianca Del Rio, she would make your head explode. Anyways congrats for keeping it woke. Idk what the world would be without people like you.
