Fired Drag Race Employee Exposes Backstage Secrets on Reddit?

I no longer read this subreddit because the people there, including the moderators, are generally awful. Sorry if that sounds harsh but honestly, this is the only subreddit I ever have any issues with. Since I’m not there anymore, what reason if any was given for locking the discussion? BTW my mind is blown by Baga being a Tory. WTF.

I dont believe this is true - this seems like a new fan of the show . There is NO SOJU ban - really ? And what about Pearl and Carnen? I cant see Ru ever working with these two. So not buying it . Having been on a reality TV show - the tea here is luke warm. If this is an ex employee there should be more than this.

They seemed really confident in those responses. And they just responded to questions so whether or not it's all known is not necessarily on their part but just the people who asked the questions. It's skeptical I will admit but I honestly kinda believe them. I don't see enough reason not to

@@sirwongalot7918 There's a lot of generals in their answers though. Aside from the answer about the queen's well-being, there isn't a lot of detail in their answers, making them just plausible.

The Bob story is only somewhat true. There’s one episode of sibling rivalry where Bob mentions that Ru watched her at a live performance before she was cast on season 8, but that doesn’t mean she didn’t have to apply to be on the show.

[@hozepheena]

And Katya (if I recall correctly) also said once that, after not getting in season 6, she was contacted by production to ask her if she was going to send a tape for season 7, and at the time she wasn't sure she was going to but took it as production telling her she had a great chance of making it into the show so she made a tape and sent it anyway.

[@APopptart]

Yeah, usually it's an invite to send in an audition. I don't think they just outright invite queens. I think it's more of an "If you send in a tape this time, you're likely to get on this season."

[@izzyjoshuadavis]

I remember Bob talking about it on there. I do believe there is truth to that.

[@devinmarks8571]

Yep, Just because queens are "scouted" doesn't mean they didnt send in an audition tape. Alyssa said she sent in an audition tape for season 4 but didnt make it. Then production reached out to her for season 5 for her to send in another tape. Thats typically how it goes

[@kiwisoup]

If you all are going to be so opinionated on how physical assault is just a-ok in your book, at least get your facts straight. Window at first never said anything about it being an ex, she said it was a dog/house sitter so he was given permission and access to her home. He did not force his way in or break in. He claims they were dating and he lived there and she came home after the bar drunk and angry and started hitting him. She claims she asked him to leave multiple times but never even claimed he got physical so not sure where you guys are getting "self defense" from. There's two sides to every story. All I know is one person didn't have a scratch on them but was bragging about beating the shit out of someone and the other had to seek medical care because they were knocked out, strangled, dragged, shoved into furniture and ended up needing 14 stitches. They don't just give somebody domestic abuse charges for funsies. Also in the current climate of people getting shot for even just being on someone's property and usually being a minority...and that's your reason for it being ok to physically assault someone? By that logic then I guess murdering someone on your property isn't far off. Not a good look.

[@APopptart]

I also assume that Jaida wasn't the planned winner of the season because I'm pretty sure that it was meant to be Sherry Pie's season to win before the allegations came out and she was disqualified.

I remember when the crown was secured for gigi goode in S12, we were in a pandemic and the final was recorded from home. then the rumor came out that gigi had made the video for take on me from a studio, so it was "not fair" to jaida and crystal. And at the last moment, the production changed and decided that Jaida should win, she did very well in the season and also had a good trackrecord to back it up

[@andiooop]

I met Sharon on meet n greet in Stockholm. I had birthday, got VIP tickets, so I was very happy and excited. I was of course drunk but not too much. I had control over my body. But when I came closer to her she said: you smell shitty, don’t come close to me.. Jiggly was there, she was quiet. And she gave me big hug. And that’s important for me. Fuvk u Sharing Needles UPD: She meant I smell alcohol. Also she said: I had problems with alcohol in past, and I can feel it how shitty you smell, don’t come closer to me.

[@jermainecornelius7193]

I did and I came away from it thinking that both James and WOW had their faults in his situation. Before the interview I thought everything fell on James because I had only heard about his actions. But the way that he was treated at that panel was very f'ed up. It was very shitty and they shouldn't have even bothered to have him there being where they placed him to sit way at the end of that table. How they set him up to think that Raven wouldn't be there only for her to actually show up and be seated right in the middle as if she had won. After watching that I kinda understood why James lashed out. I'm not saying that I agree with everything she did and said but I understood where her anger came from after watching that situation.

[@godrickstockwell1505]

I didn't like James on the season and I'm deeply disturbed by the threats and choices made after the show BUT I do think WOW needs to do a better job helping contestants deal with fan nonsense.

[@CarysCreatesThings]

On the therapy part, I spoke to Silky just before AS6 aired (it wasn’t a private conversation, it took place in an open forum on Clubhouse so I’m sure she’d be OK with me disclosing this), & she said that all contestants were offered counselling, & that she’d scheduled an appointment for the day it aired as she received so much unexpected hate from fans when season 11 aired that she wasn’t sure if there would be a backlash to her All Stars appearance. I got the impression that they weren’t offered counselling during season 11, though I can’t recall if Silky confirmed that outright. I think it should be mandatory that all reality TV contestants are offered some kind of therapy.

[@twoboysmom7423]

I think people are more so giving her a chance to prove she's changed here's the thing nobody is really going to change unless their given the chance to change. While her actions are vile their not irredeemable nor should they be a representation of who she is for the rest of her life she was only 27 at the time your going to say 50 years in the future if she continues down this path of redemption that this is who she is supposed to be for the rest of her life. I'd say if you choose not to support her totally valid however I am of the belief that anyone can redeem themselves and anyone can change for the better.

They have talked about who Jada replaced in season 12…It was Tamisha Iman who had to drop out for cancer treatments. She then came back for season 13 but with a fresh colostomy.

[@00Rooney]

This information is either regurgitated information that most people already knew, or can't be proven. To me, not a real employee.

[@CashelOConnolly]

Are you going to address the Shangela drama?

[@annoyed_bimbo8104]

What's the Shangela drama??

[@victorvieira7355]

What drama???

[@CashelOConnolly]

@@annoyed_bimbo8104 it’s all over the news,Google Shangela scandal. It’s very serious stuff

[@tsukimilo]

@@annoyed_bimbo8104 In short, she's involved in a SA lawsuit as the assaulter.

[@nicarmendariz9079]

That’s not drama girl that’s a court case💀

[@Dan-B]

People really think they’re saying something by pointing out riggery. Literally every decision the judges make is preplanned, it’s reality tv 😆

[@VALENSlO]

my theory abt willam is that he approached the producers to be disqualified so he can do that gig he wanted and they both orquestrated the disqualification

[@cheeseinspace]

Poster: “ask me anything” Response: “I’ll say this..💅🏻” Lmao the attention seeking

[@nounous01]

Im obsessed with the way you say "video"

[@sonnygarlop2552]

The original poster seems like a teen duping all of you.

[@nimue325]

I had no idea Tory was slang! As an American who wants to be well-educated on world events, I listen to a lot of BBC news in the car so the term is familiar but I just thought it was, say, a regular British word like pudding or jumper. See how drag makes us better, more educated people? ❤️

[@Farkararka]

The Widow Fondue 😂

[@williamballard767]

I don’t believe this person to be telling the truth. I mean who the hell says “prepare to be gagged” when asked about an upcoming season? Spoilers perhaps sure, but Reddit does allow things to be blacked out so it remains spoiler free. That’s the biggest red flag right there

[@SleepyKiwi73]

Didn’t Sasha Colby say (during What Cha Packin? IIRC) that she auditioned for s15 after Kerri was on s14? I smell BS from OP

[@yannos2007]

Tamisha has said few times that she was cast on season 12 but because she got cancer she did not go

[@PrettiePessimistik]

Wouldn't you think employees are made to sign NDAs specifically for this EXACT reason???? (Among Others!)

[@paulwilliammonks1]

The main reason i think the "ex employee" is talking shit and unlikely to be real is because they have completely seperate staff for Drag race US and Drag Race UK so there is no way that they worked on every version and so would know every drag queen etc. They sound just like a fan that wanted some clout

[@ServeWithRice]

“Widow Fondue” 2:28

[@Daniel_Escoto]

Another great video!!!

[@aphillyate1]

Widow's elimination was not rigged. Widow began the season HOT but collapsed and became very negative and angry.

[@h.j.hatcher6265]

Well it would effect her it clearly states in the contracts you can not be in any kind of trouble and furthermore any abuse by a contestant would def get no thanks on returning and there are several who have drug charges and theft

[@mishiara5499]

Just from Tyra's behavior and disregard for other queens safety and risk of permanently hurting them, she should be banned.

[@infinite2608]

Sam wild here, I can confirm this person did not work for wow based on some of the things they have said. I was bagas tour assistant for a few shows (KlubKids 🤢) and can tell you Bagga isn’t stuck up, they aren’t entitled or difficult to work with. To be honest out of drag they are quite shy and quiet. When they are in the dressing room they come alive but act more like a naughty aunt than a stuck up and entitled.

[@NH-ow8dy]

A big chunk of the US crew did go to the UK for filming on the first season at least

[@marcoojoe9948]

anyone would've acted the way James did had you been in his stilettos. you cannot sit there and say you would've been ok with the fans and the producers actively rooting against you even though you won your season

[@Monkelonk]

This feels so stupid to me. 90% of this information we've heard before and the rest is so easily made up. There is nothing to prove that this person actually worked for WOW.

[@marielaausher]

I read the thread and I'm skeptical Most of this was revealed by other queens or theorized by the fans I think we need to take it with a grain of salt, as some have mentioned, I doubt that Drag Race doesn't make their employees sign NDA's and will find out who is this person

[@jfgs930]

I’ve heard multiple rumours of Willam getting asked back for most seasons of all stars, but that she declines. I think this is true, she’s kind of made a name for herself as the bad girl of the franchise. She’ll claim she’s never asked until the time is right and she decides to go. I bet it will happen someday.

[@larsedik]

From what I have read about the contracts that Ru forces the contestants to sign, declining an invitation to appear on a subsequent show is not an option. I did see Willam at DragCon 2016, and she had her own booth, which I took photos of. She appeared to be selling makeup, nail polish, and CDs.

[@umichgal1]

All Stars should do a renegade season with Nina Brown, Willam, and The Vixen.

[@twoboysmom7423]

She said she would never go back so she has never declined. She has even said so herself.

[@leoi-1985]

It has already confirmed they are NOT a drag race producer (another user said they were a real producer but that was also false)

[@naokisan07]

Facts could contradict the "former employee" if it's true that production tried to hire Tyra Sanchez after some of her (less) controversial statements.

[@danielperezabril2387]

he said that he was involved on rupaul's races, so most likely he is talking about Uk vs the world

[@NH-ow8dy]

Widow got in trouble for hitting someone who broke in and was trying to sleep there? don't care if it was an ex, that doesn't sound right, I wouldn't want to find an ex in my house trying to stay without being invited

[@chokechain]

There’s a sibling rivalry episode where bob talks abt ru seeing him live. I’ve been binging but I just heard it I’ll try to find it

[@finnonfilmz]

Baga being one of the hardest people to work with makes absolute sense. Fucking tory.

[@gaffawebber]

I dont believe it as there is no way they weren't under an NDA.

[@OceanbornAngel]

For something more recent...well recent as in recently aired not so much recorded...I love how the producers and even Ru Paul convinced Kahanna(sp?) to stay in spite of what happens. Riggory I tell you!

[@CharlieDavid-Lloyd]

Great vid Matt!

[@DragTeaServed]

Thank you :)

[@SherlockHom3boy]

Tyra is the most disrespected winner of drag race! She did NOT deserve the hate she received!

[@chungies]

OP literally sounds like a fan lol. “Prepare to be gagged” yeah okay

[@Slap_Pappy]

I don’t believe most stuff that comes from Reddit and this is not an exception. They’re just saying shit that most fans would already know. And I’m sure they’d be in huge legal trouble with WOW is this is real.

[@MyInsaneWorldOfBeauty]

Who was the queen that RuPaul gave both the middle fingers to and made the arm and hand gestures to. He was the weird guy who dark milk from a cow in the Soda Pop challenge? I knew he was going home, I’ve never see RuPaul get mad like that at anyone else, put when RuPaul said F*ck you to the queen I knew he was gone, but was that real or a script?

[@gl3913]

I will say that about 40% of the stuff that this supposed former RPDR employee put on Readdit I already knew for that stuff had came out in other legit news sources. The rest of the info I had no clue. Two queens that I was very surprised that this former employee did not mention was Derrick Berry and Ben de la Creme. Tyra Sanchez most likely got a lot of crap because of how she was with the rest of the season 2 queens during the competition especially with her behavior and how she talked with the other queens. The last I heard of Tyra Sanchez was in the fall of 2020 when she got in trouble with law enforcement in Georgia for vandalism at her apt complex and that she had retired from drag and was also in trouble for being behind on his child support payments. With that being said, a lot of stuff on Readdit should be taken with a very tiny grain of salt for the majority of the info on that site is 100% crap, just like the material that this fake former RPDR employee put up. And, along with 95% of all the stuff that KZbinrs Drag Galore, Busi Queen, and Drag Vid with others like them have put up.

[@Spanish101class]

Don't employees sign an NDA?
