Kennedy Davenport: Look at Huh SUPERSIZED Pt 2 on Hey Qween! with Jonny McGovern | Hey Qween

[@carlcachero2012]

I have fallen in love with this genuine and honest queen.

[@kennedydavenport]

I love you too...

[@carlcachero2012]

+Kennedy Davenport I am freaking fan girling right now! Thanks for replying!

[@kennedydavenport]

+Carl Cachero always muah baby take care.

[@omarsocias1330]

+Kennedy Davenport Hi honey!! I felt you when you were talking about Rupaul, best wishes! send you a hug from the caribbean!

[@FamousPeople212]

The ru statement hit home for me

[@TheWillofDC]

+FamousPeople212 i hear what she's saying and i know everyone will be touched by the point she's making BUT Ru can't stop and have close personal friendships with every queen that comes through. we're at 100 now. it's just not something any girl should expect going into it. it reminds me of what laganja said where she thought she'd get a hug and some quality time with Ru. but it's not about that. it's about entertaining a specific demo and trying to broaden that demo to make drag mainstream. it's not about you and Ru. it's your chance to put your best foot forward with a major audience. it's not about friendship with the host. to go in thinking there will be any meaningful emotional moment away from camera is to really be missing why you're there.

[@T.Holmes.35]

+William Hyde: I really don't feel that Kennedy or any of the girls for that matter are looking to be bff's with Ru; that would be completely unrealistic. What she may be getting at is that she was looking for a moment of guidance and/or wisdom from Ru that transcended and was outside of the performance and pomp and circumstance of 'Rupaul's Drag Race'. During the reunions of seasons 1-3 Ru would sit down with the girls minus being in full geish and have these amazing talks. Things would get hashed out and she would offer words of encouragement for all the girls so they my move forward confidently. None of that happens anymore...it's all about the "glitz" and little substance.

[@johnmichaelarnaud]

Love her Ru answer, because it's sort of what I've suspected. Ru is an immensely public figure, and there is an amount of healthy guardedness that must go along with that (and, frankly, an appropriate distance to be maintained for the sake of the Drag Race monolith). But Kennedy wasn't suggesting that Ru owed her something she didn't get. She was expressing regret that a heartfelt desire wasn't met. Big difference, and I really appreciated that honest admission of vulnerability.

[@nettananni5451]

I have nothing but respect about what Kennedy said about Ru! We owe a lot to her and nobody's taking her throne but Kennedy spoke the truth!

[@genderstudier]

I've heard a lot of the girls allude to it, but Kennedy laid out the relationship between Ru and the contestants without holding back.

[@meh.4161]

+Devin Roberts But how else is it supposed to be? I understand where Kennedy's coming from....but its not realistic to expect such a thing. I would never expect that from Ru. She doesn't owe me anything. Totally normal to want that, cuz as a Ru fan that would be incredible.

[@whydontyouhateme]

Well, it shows humanity. I think you must be blinded by your ego to think you're above human interactions.

[@unFayemous]

I have to say, I'm developing this pattern when watching drag race. Almost every season there's 1-2 queens I'm sort of "meh" about but that I really fall in love with afterwards (Alaska, Alyssa, Willam, Shangela) and I feel like it has a lot to do with editing and that you only ever get to see one side of people. Kennedy was one of those people for me, I really only warmed up to her after Trixie got eliminated. I feel through the way she performed and when she had that one moment with Violet where we got to see her vilnerable side, I saw much more than what they'd been showing all season. Ms. Davenport, I take everything back, I am so not over you and I want to see much much more!

[@heronumber009]

+unFayemous Well, but the ones you mentioned (Alaska, Alyssa, Willam, Shangela) are all multi-talented drag queen with a "bigger than life" personality and also are very, very funny. And also, I think all of them are very well-loved by fans, even when they were still on RPDR. SO I don't understand how you use the world "meh" to describe those. On the other hand, Kennedy is very talented, but she's not that well-rounded and her personality is kinda underwhelm compare to those 4. So if you like her, that's alright. BUT I don't think she can ever archive the level of success as those 4.

[@unFayemous]

heronumber009 I think I might have phrased it incorrectly. When I say I'm "meh" about them, it's more I don't like them (not because of their performances but their personalities). I'm just sort of indifferent, they're not bothering me like e.g. Phi Phi did, but I don't love them right away the way I did with Latrice. They're sort of mid field for me. Interestingly, a lot of the queens I root for during the season I kind of forget about after. Like, I really liked watching Jinkx in her season but I haven't followed her since. Same with Adore. It's not like I don't like them, I do, they just slip my mind. Maybe it makes more sense now I've put it like that?

[@kennedydavenport]

Thank you so much love.

[@unFayemous]

Kennedy Davenport 🌹😙

[@didrikgustafsson2426]

I think it was quite interesting that someone finally dared said anything negative about Rupaul, normally it almost feels like if Rupaul himself has paid them and made them sign a contract that they need to talk of her as this superior godess who allowed them to set their foots in this world, I get of course that theyre grateful, but it just comes across as fake and manufactured

[@BobbiPolk]

+jess hunty I feet sorry for Kennedy when she talked about Rupaul. I agree with her. Ru has missed out on a LOT of genuine queens. I would've felt the same way as Kennedy on Ru. But it's part of the game...wish it wasn't...

[@BobbiPolk]

***** That's true

[@didrikgustafsson2426]

I didnt critisise her, I just made an observation that this is the first time Ive heard a queen say anything negative about Rupaul, people just tend to look for something to be upset about ***** *****

[@didrikgustafsson2426]

***** Ginger had won 3 challenges, Violet had won 3 challenges, Pearl had this storyline through all the series, Kennedy had won challenges, Or was it 1 challenge? I dont remember haha but the moment in episode 3, probably was still in Rupauls mind, also since Kennedy had already lipsynced 2 times, I think Ru just decided it was her time to go

[@comeandtouchthis]

+Brandon C. Sites - Critic of Modern Day Horror +Didrik Gustafsson I get Brandon's point and I agree with him but at the same time, I think they kept Pearl on the top 3 so RuPaul wouldn't look like a revengeful bitch who sent her home because Pearl confronted her with that whole "is there something in my face?" episode

[@Kris_Kitten]

Loved Kennedy's comment about Ru. She is such a sweet person!

[@Panamaschild]

I was never one of these people who hated Ms. Kennedy Davenport or Jasmine Masters. They weren't my absolute favorites, but I didn't have this visceral hatred towards them that they received. It was a very ugly part of season 7 to see people calling them names and bashing them. It was sad to see that even amongst Ru Paul's Drag Race watchers, there were bigots. I loved being able to get to know Kennedy more and that she's just an old school queen who tells it like it is without being a hater. I respect her for that.

[@munirchahin3092]

that COMPLETELY changed my view on kennedy. her ru answer was SO real and the whole video really was a statement on how the position of the show fucks up peoples lifes compared to what it could do. there are dozens of queens who go there aiming success or whatever and are literally exploited to just be "the girl that everyone will hate/mock". so cruel, really. thank you so much kennedy for enlightning the contestant's humanity, really, in such an efficient way. im really glad.

[@raulvega4016]

How lovely she spoke about Latrice!

[@janknuckey]

As is so often the case, Jonny McGovern gets the queens to open up, be themselves and show their vulnerable sides: another first class episode, and I've come away from here today RESPECTING Kennedy and even LIKING her, which is something I did not do during Season 7. Respect.

[@joeyherne]

"I guess I'm not the girlfriend type." - How I feel about every person I've ever tried to be friends with. :(

[@amandalheureux3443]

how can you not love kennedy?! i could listen to her talk forever.

[@christophereunice8541]

Wow Kennedy Is PURE CLASS!!!

[@Theseraph8c]

I was waiting for a picture of Katya to show up, I would have loved to hear what Kennedy has to say about her

[@Flawlesshoodrat]

I really loved the answer Kennedy had for Rupaul.

[@Kekethegreatone]

Kennedy is a SWEETHEART ❣️ I am a huge fan so I reached out to her and asked if I could send her a pair of earrings from my store. She immediately said yes, she followed my jewelry store on Instagram and she wore my earrings for a performance and sent me a picture. I will always love how humble and loving she was towards me. Kennedy, love you always !!!

[@queenbee9657]

The MOST honest and sincere show you've had.... Love here realness

[@acf870]

What she said about RuPaul is probably the most genuine response to Ru that we've ever gotten as an audience, as fans. I feel like Ru is actually a very isolated and out of touch person in reality. It shows in the podcast but that's a whole other story.

[@Saiege]

+acf870 He said himself he was an introvert.

[@123jchp123]

Jonny, been a fan for years. I used to watch your videos at boarding school as the only out gay kid in 2000-2004. Snuck out to NYC once and a while(every weekend) from Connecticut. Wish I had met yah out then, but keep up the awesome work!

[@airmix08]

That's the realest shit I've heard. I've always liked Kennedy since the beginning because she always kept it real and the cameras made it seam like she was a bitch. The last part she spoke of Ru makes so much sense and I truly understood where she was coming from with it. Keep working hard Kennedy. Love you!

[@keycrum4218]

Totally agree with what Ms. Kennedy said about Ms. Kasha Davis! The queens really listen to her and respect her word. When she speaks, you stfu lol whenever Kasha spoke it was straight knowledge and something you take in and grow from

[@dauphin15]

Gorgeous. Beautifully talented. And BRAVE AS HELL. I respect her so much for talking real about Ru

[@dani-dd2my]

i love her honesty so much

[@JustNess78]

I think that was very well said and genuine what she said about RuPaul... as much as I love Ru, I'm sure it's the truth. I got a little emotional, myself.

[@crowninthesky]

The stuff about Ru = skin care. Damn it's hard to take off the makeup at the end of the day, but it's reality and necessary. Ru is like Batman. She's like an idea - she's the foundation and inspires but we can't imagine seeing her taking the mug off. And she's been world famous for a long ass time. She's been on the front lines for the freaks and I'm grateful.

[@juandediossanchezjurado6265]

Kennedy is one of the best and most genuine queens that have ever graced drag race.

[@Rigossip5]

I Will Win Season 20. Mark My Words

[@matkmusic92]

And i will be top 3 and root for you even tho i didn't win ✨💟

[@raulvega4016]

+Rigossip and Ru will be still looking gorgeous.

[@sheisveryfamous]

Scary thought... Ru will be 68 years old!! :O

[@scenesinscarlet]

+Rigossip that depends if there will ever be a season 20

[@Rigossip5]

+scenesinscarlet hopefully

[@cirapiden]

Kennedy u so real doe thank u so much for showing the side we never saw on the show

[@fancypants7300]

Her speech about Rupaul is SO on point and beautifully spoken.

[@TheAwesomenessOfJay]

That is the realest shit that any queen has ever said about Ru, it's great to hear Kennedy talk about her with such sincerity without coming across as entitled or whatever.

[@lamo1724]

Miss Kennedy, you have so much class! Love love LOVE you!!! Xxx

[@SkogenWhisper]

you see more of Kennedy's personality in untucked. she is amazing

[@timekahicks6220]

My favorite so far

[@StrongerThanYsterday]

She is the realest queen , like for real .

[@BretonInTokyo]

Finally a queen who's telling what she REALLY thinks about Ru Paul. Thank you !

[@markmilburn3440]

Kennedy comes across as a genuine person, in-fact quite thoughtful & considered. I think there's something in there within RDR - the first couple of seasons, Ru appeared to have more time for the ethnic qweens, but, as of late, its becoming the great white (young) way. Much as I like Kennedy, I don't think she had quite the whole package to win that season, but, aside from Ginger, Katya & Trixie, neither did anyone else. Anyway, she gave a fascinating interview & I love how she 're-arranged' her junk after her lap dance! Anyways, there's only been a few 'winners' that actually make a real go of their fortunes, it's like Ru says - He's giving you a platform to shine - what you do with it is YOUR BUSINESS. Most of the successes happen from those kicked off the show, it's fight or flight.

[@meh.4161]

+Mark Milburn It's almost even tho right? First 3 winners weren't white, then Sharon won, then Jinxy, oh an CHad 4 Allstars but Bianca won S6, then Violet. Its not really the great white way. Love what you said though...it really is like Fight of Flight.

[@markmilburn3440]

Yep, I don't wanna stir the racial pot though. i just felt by the last x2 seasons that there were too many young white boys skipping around with too much interest in style over substance. This was perfectly shown by Miss Fame & Pearl. Visually gr8, but no sense of wit or or entertaining a crowd. I MISS THE HUNGER TO WIN.

[@davidb5205]

Well, Bob The Drag Queen won Season 8 and it looks like Shea Coulee is set to sin Season 9. But their race shouldn't matter in the first place. I didn't understand Violet's win, but one year later and it makes sense. Ru clearly saw something in her that I didn't. Violet has capitalized on her win; she toured with Dita Von Teese doing burlesque and has worked with amazing artists.

[@MyTeruma]

This is the first time I see a queen talking so openly Kudos to Kennedy

[@nwdixieboy]

Kennedy really impressed me with how on straight her head is. She looked FABULOUS!

[@jerrysizzler44]

I waited through both parts to hear Kennedy describe how batshit crazy she thought Katya was. :(

[@AliyaElNovelista]

Ru always said when the shows over, she closes the book. To expect to be friends with almost 100 queens shouldn't be expected. I think Kennedy was on Ru's podcast show, so maybe she got that closer convo

[@iannestor5406]

This is so good

[@ryanrastegar5713]

ugh, i just love kennedy so much.

[@chrizz123]

my fave fucking Look at Huh ep

[@florazul5240]

Kennedy looks like Old school Karen Clark Sheard.

[@NealeHurston619]

Ru called Kennedy right after her publicist made her aware of the mention. lololol Clean up crew.

[@kocozo]

+Neale Hurston :O how do you know that?

[@NealeHurston619]

+kocozo it was a sarcastic assumption darling, relax. I don't know Ru nor Kennedy.

[@yellowpastel3075]

+Neale Hurston, but what if you do but can't tell it now because ru's publicist has seen your comment?

[@NealeHurston619]

+Yellow Pastel and the plot gets thicker.....

[@theonlyfirewings]

I don't think Kennedy will ever understand why Violet and Pearl were mad at her and Ginger. There's a difference between saying why you should win something and saying why your competitors shouldn't. Violet and Pearl only spoke aout their evolution through the show and why they deserved to be crowned. Kennedy and Ginger spend more time saying why Violet and Pearl shouldn't win than actually defending their own cases, and that's the most unclassy and tasteless thing you could do. It reads like try to push someone down to make yourself look better or more deserving.

[@bb-yl5yy]

But they asked all of them why should they be Americas next drag superstar and why your other competitors shouldn't. Kennedy just simply answered the question that was given to her.

[@theonlyfirewings]

No, Ru's question was "why do you think you, not the other queens, should win the title of America's next drag superstar?" There are two ways to unerstand this question. The first one is "What is it about you that makes you stand out so much that you desere to win?", the second one is "Tell me why you should win and why the others shouldn't win". The way in which you decide to answer basically reveals if you are driven by the desire to be yourself and give your best in a competition or whether you keep comparing yourself to your competitors. Pearl and Violet chose the first way and neither of them was asked by Ru to give reasons to not choose their competitors. In other words, Ru must have thought that their answer was complete. Kennedy and Ginger went the other way and one of them didn't make it to top three. Also, if you get into details, Ginger and Kennedy gave Ru reasons to pic another queen by complimenting each other on stage, therefore they "didn't" answer the question correctly according to their own interpretation. If you know Ru through interviews and his podcast, you will understand that this question was precisely asked to reveal the contestants' outlook on life. And if there's one queen that kept dissing her competitors on and off stage during the competition, it is Kennedy. It just shows that the competition gets the best of her in certain departments.

[@NinoSucio]

kennedy is amazing in and out!!!

[@AnokFero2007]

I personally haven't met any of the queens before in reality, except for one (Dida Ritz) & have spoken to a few online. Shangela, Phi Phi, Jiggly, Lady Bunny, etc. But unlike most people, I can honestly say that I exchanged a couple of emails back & fourth back in the day with Ms. Rupaul herself! This was 3 or 4 years before Drag Race & when you could just contact him through his website. He posted a few things I had to say about gay culture on his blog back then too actually! But anyway, in the emails we just talked about his going to Diana Ross's birthday at the time & what was SHE really like in person, etc. I can honestly say that during the email convos he was very nice & professional, but kept his answers very short & sweet of course! lol Once Drag Race started tho, he became a lot more busy obviously & stopped responding to his emails. And became a lot more private & reclusive as well. But it is what it is tho, since Mother RU will ALWAYS be my Idol No Matter What! 😁

[@misaelmunoz2818]

wow i adore her.

[@sculpturesquid]

The problem wasn't that Kennedy had something bad to say about Violet. Hell, I have bad things to say about her and she's my favourite queen to ever walk this earth. The problem was that Kennedy would not budge from the idea that the younger queen's (Violet and Pearl's) style of drag was anything but inferior to her own and it affected every interaction she had with them. She was only ever nice when she needed to cover her ass and even then it was all about justifying her own actions as opposed to raising Violet up (she was a little kinder to Pearl cos she was hot for her but only just). Bianca Del Rio had plenty to say about Adore but there was never any doubt that she had mad respect for her and what she had to offer, even though they were from different worlds/walks of life and that's the difference.

[@Love_TheArtist]

I see Kennedy's point about Ru. I think it would be a great addition if she did some guidance moments with the girls...sorta like Tyra Banks on ANTM. It wasn't always but she has definitely pulled girls and guys aside to give strong and sometimes very stern but needed advice.

[@zalar7683]

That's why you gofundme to save your home guuuuurrllll.

[@zalar7683]

$100,000 is a good prize to start with

[@sheisveryfamous]

Kennedy is so classy

[@PRsweetness]

still not a huge fan of kennedy but I love look at huh

[@_luigigonzalez]

i feel like 3:46 should be the new tongue pop

[@jakeslife01]

we were lounge singers

[@austint8263]

I wish Hey Queen was back.

[@88Featured]

Damn what she said about Ru was heavy

Nothing you say matters unless the camera was rolling.

[@XmXm999]

Kennedy is a hard woking queen who didnt get as much exposure, but she needs to know we see her and we support her. She doesnt need to go on moment : Let me tell you what i am not...

[@musics4me]

Lately Willam has been sprinkling some shade about Ru too, although Kennedy was not at all shading

[@Caroleeena]

Please give Kennedy a couple of cups of coffee before you interview her next time.

[@WOLFYbooable]

Kennedy looks beautiful wow

[@shawnwallace9481]

I always liked Kennedy sorry the editing was unfair to you

[@zoeblackmon]

Lady Red looks Beautiful

[@leopie_777]

Lady Red resembles Jackee Harry a bit doesn't she

[@IG-hs6or]

kennedy was so biased with ginger. there was tons of things she could have said like not being to dress fierce every runway. lets not forget that look kennedy gave ginger when she said she and ginger should both win.

[@andreivory3110]

❤️

[@JohnDoe-wp1yx]

Bish, who are YOU to demand one on one time with Mama Ru? She only did that with top three, lamb pie, so learn your place! NEXT!!

[@indiansage9295]

Violets picture is flawless and ru Paul was ok I wanted to see a better one.Kennedy told the truth I was just looking how sexy Kennedy was.lol I wanted the show longer though.

[@AntonioTorcasioo]

I'm sorry, but I don't like Ru. I like what she is doing, I like her style, "her" makeup (mathu's makeup), but I don't like her as a person. This doesn't mean that I HATE her of course... I'm just like..."uhmmm, ok"

[@kocozo]

+Antonio Torcasio yeah!!! Exactly!!! she is gorgeous! but fake like her laugh... hahah :P

[@AntonioTorcasioo]

+Talentedtadpole And it is not even about connecting with them but more like being fair and respectful to all their diversity. Look how she treated people like Max, Miss Fame, Pearl, Tempest, Laganja and so much more... Ru and that show are not fair to the real people that make it all happens. Honestly I am not sure that I will watch this year, and if I will it is not to watch Rupaul, for sure.

[@AnokFero2007]

Eh! Everyone has an opinion I guess. *shrugs*

[@user-rz3cr1zi4y]

I was never into Rupaul, love the show, never was interested in her as a person or her work of drag. but what made me not like her was the whole Katya anxiety thing and how Ru dealt with it.

[@FamousPeople212]

I understand it is a business how ever it's kinda dose ru really care because I believe she should of at least kept in contact with some of them smh like what's the point of all these I believe in you speeches if you don't really mean it smh

[@humanoidhooker]

kennedy you like the new violet pictures?the pictures from fashion week or the pictures from her shooting with steven klein ? jealous?

[@kennedydavenport]

Not jealous at all baby I am happy for what my sister is accomplishing. we all have our own journeys and paths and I am content with mine. thank you.

[@NOTHEOTHERGUY]

Kennedy, go home, girl! Oh...ooops.

[@kennedydavenport]

I am home thank you

[@IG-hs6or]

rupaul cant connect with the queens on the show because she doesn't want remorse when they go home. ru doesn't want a biased opinion.l about a queen.

[@martinsonderegger5903]

I don't get why everybody said she had class. She was the worst as Michelle said - she was talking about class but speaking the worst about everything else. She was bitching and throwing poison and shade all at the new queens. That is not class at all that is just pure bitterness and narrow minded. Did she knew that the last episode was more then just the dancing - there was a acting challenge where she failed miserable. I am quite sure that Ru cut her cause what she let out during the last episode was the example of being unprofessional and not accepting anything that goes beyond your own horizon.

:3

[@aleisterhenderson9397]

I didnt like her but now she is one of my favs it because of the editing sorry lul

[@Aries390]
