Salina EsTitties: Intense Fan Backlash, Drugs, and Ross Mathews (Exclusive Interview)

[@user-ic6kb4ik6f]

Honestly Salina's personality is gold and idgaf what she wore on her season I was just happy to hear her talk

[@DanEMO592]

She’s amazing

[@jordansahid1804]

❤👍🏻💯

[@artnerd3727]

fr i didnt always LOVE every outfit but she seems like a nice and fun person and I wish her the best

[@VivianBB27]

Tea!

[@lynnefischer3352]

I love her. ❤

[@ericdwhitmorec]

1. This explains so much. 2. Im glad the producers called because they knew it was out of character 3. And some of the fandom would have Absolutely said he deserved his mom dying, they have said worse... it's really gross.

[@jenniferthoms7402]

Those aren't fans they are haters and trolls!

[@elenawilliams32]

Re No 3, Are you actually serious that people said that? How do those people sleep at night?

[@Jcoronado9093]

Sad but true

[@FrankieJGrande]

Salina is a true angel and gift to this world. So grateful to have her in my life daily and so happy y’all got the gift of having her on your screens. I am so proud of you my sister. Keep growing and keep showing the world your true authentic self. We’re ALL here to go on this journey with you. And so blessed by what you’ve already given us.

[@ScottysHaze]

That's very sweet that you two are good friends and support each other so much. 🥰

[@rosyegoist]

I relate to her so much when she said she hated the Hispanic/Latin heritage. I'm 21 now and only just started to embrace that part of me. I hate that it took me so long to really love that part of myself and my family. I know and see now it really hurt my language learning and the closeness with my family. I'm trying to pick up the pieces and rebuild that part of me I've been missing for the past 21 years. I hope Salina has and continues to find and love that part of her as well ❤

[@lisafranklin9089]

Im proud and happy for you honey🙌🏼 🤎💓

[@minipandora22]

Most people do hate Hispanic/Mexican culture, it’s extremely annoying and the lack of assimilation is appalling

[@ginaverdi6101]

It's crazy for me to hear this! To me the Hispanic culture is so beautiful to me !

[@TheTinKunt]

I rewatched wigloose last week and she was my FAVORITE part. Every time , EVERY TIME the camera panned to a reaction while on stage, it was salina. She’s an amazing , we don’t deserve her. Everyone go watch her new song “BOOTS”!

[@pembrokelove]

Yes. I thought Salina ATE Wigloose. She had no business in the bottom - no hate to Luxx, but many of the “choices” for which she was commended were right there in the script/blocking. It made no sense to give all the flowers to Luxx when those two were scene partners and played beautifully off of one another. They both deserved the praise.

[@marieneu264]

21:06 I LOVE that he got sober with the help of the guy that was like if you’re not serious, leave me alone or meet me here at this AA meeting!!!

[@fearsomebeard4290]

My husband of 34 years came out in West Hollywood when he was in medical school at UCLA in the early 1980s. He’s of Mexican decent and is a very succesful Medical Doctor here in San Diego. He still, until this day, does not go out into the sun, if he can avoid it, as to not get darker. Girl you aren’t the only one who is, or has been, affected by that West Hollywood stereo type. You are beautiful just as you are, even if the sun gets you darker. Your culture is beautiful. Be you, we love you. Oh and I’m sober too. 😘

Yaaaaay! Salina is one of my faves, thanks for giving them a platform & having a kind, genuine conversation with them ❤

[@rseandtube2737]

WOW!!!! Talk about authenticity. I absolutely loved finding this and hearing her story. I felt inspired and heartbroken all at once. Completely in tears when she talked about her mother. I wasn't a huge fan of hers until the reunion episode, but I definitely enjoyed her during the season. After this, Im a Stan. All the love and success in the world for this amazing person. ❤

[@novelero03]

I am so glad that you did this video of Salina Estitties, it’s so unfortunate how toxic and vile the fandom can be. I always say it, the drag queens are out there doing their thing and hustling. They don’t need that toxicity, if you have nothing positive to contribute, move on. I love drag race, but the fandom, I honestly cannot deal with them.

[@Berighteousone]

Alot of drag queens are toxic . Gays aswell

[@tinaortiz7871]

Again, a great interview. My mom heart just breaks for mistreatment of any kind, but to be part of a show that could possibly be the best thing to happen in your professional career and doing it while losing your mom.. keeping your sobriety is a miracle. Hugs and every success to you Salina

[@OnedayclosertoFI]

I learned so much watching this. Selena was my partner and i’s fav of the season …… had no clue so much hurt was and is happening. So much talent and we have only viewed a little. Keep it up…. Stay strong, turn off the comments on social media!!! Just do you and all will work out. You are loved. ❤…. Thank you for the laughs and joy you bring each day to this crazy world of ours.

[@Lagunabenn]

Matt is such a gifted interviewer. I love how he gives his interviewees a safe space to be themselves. Salina is lovely!

[@yasminx16]

I agree - his interviews sound like conversations between friends. He is gifted. It’s clearly his calling.

[@vonlipi]

I fell in love instantly when I saw Salina on Dr! She is so genuine and lovable!

[@Nmh86]

Another fantastic interview Matt and thank you Selina for sharing your sobriety. I hope the honesty of your interview will help others going through the same journey understand there is a light at the end of the tunnel through sobriety and go buy her merch

[@mikeyc4525]

Hey gurl. I am so glad I saw this interview. You are such an inspiration. I'm so very sorry for your loss, and the heartbreaks that you had to go through. The important thing is that you came through the hardest part, learned from it, and now you are going to conquer the world. I'm proud of you. Much success moving forward !!!

[@elysiagreen2153]

Salina, stay strong. F**k the haters. Don't let anyone bring you down, including yourself. You are a talented and lovely person. Don't forget that.

[@tatsf]

I am not a RPDR superfan, but I do watch and I always enjoyed Salina's presence and performances. I am so disappointed in humans when I hear how toxic and horrid they can be such as the "fans" putting her down. Now, seeing this interview, I love Salina even more! It makes so much sense when she talked about her sobriety. She is having genuine feeling and showing them, she isn't thrashing out at others in that caustic way that some queens do. She seems so sweet and likable. Thank you Salina for repping your Latin culture, the queer sober community, and being willing to be vulnerable! Thanks for doing this interview, Matt! I wish all success and happiness to Salina! And to Jax, who I also loved from Season 15!

[@chelsea2112]

I’m glad you did this. I always liked her and this side of her story is so important for people to know. 🖤

[@KeithCrenshaw]

Thank you so much for talking about your recovery journey, from meth. I too am a recovering addict with 18 years clean. Getting clean was the hardest thing I ever had to do in my life. Our journeys happen the same way. And I really appreciate you talking about this, you never know who you may be helping. Congratulations and we love and celebrate you.

[@TopHatNat]

Salina is the moment. She's relatable, funny, entertaining and a gorgeous person. I'm loving her DragRace Review show "TiT or Quit" and she dropped a song a few days ago "BOOTZ"💗🔥👑💎

[@AlexRiversMusic]

YOUR INTERVIEWS ARE SO GOOD 💯 Keep posting please thank you

[@lazlomattachine8334]

Salina seems so nice and genuine. Don’t listen to the haters or read the hateful comments- they are either insecure about themselves or jealous of your success. It is SO much easier to tear people down than to build them up- you do you. ❤

[@islandclubtech]

It's disgusting how some of the "fans" can act toward the contestants. First and foremost, it's fucking drag. It's meant to be fun, expressive, entertaining - sure there are the fashion queens, the comedy queens, the song and dancing queens, but just because a specific entertainer isn't your cup of tea doesn't mean you need to be nasty. I never found Salina to be "fake". Loud and over the top, sure and it was entertaining. And Salina EsTitties doesn't own the corner on loud and over the top when it comes to drag - there are plenty of others that share that space. Thank you for the humor and entertainment during Season 15. You make that Golden Boot a prize to be had! Most importantly, so happy to hear you're a "friend" of Bill W & Dr Bob too!

[@AuroraJanee]

I just want to say this before I even start this video, I absolutely adore her now and did on her season. I love her personality and how honest & real she is. If you’re reading these comments Salina, you’re so loved!!!

[@MrAndMrDanceFitness]

Great work Matt - you are a wonderful journalist who deserves a larger platform 🙌 keep it up 🎉

Another amazing video! I really love your videos and what you do for everyone in them. It seems like a lot of the people you interview sometimes really need to talk to someone and you come off as such a great listener and someone who really cares (Pisces trait definitely) Also, Matt being a Pisces makes so much sense

what a beautifully vulnerable conversation with such a sweet soul. sending so much love your way miss salina!!

[@galaxyplateau]

i really feel that we can't call the people who send hate and awful messages to queens "fans" of drag race. actual fans would appreciate and respect all styles of drag and the queens who represent them. i fell in love with salina instantly. the gloves outfit ? i adored that so much ! that's DRAG ! the big gloves, the bratz doll hair ? the outfit itself ? i live for all of it ! salina's youtube channel has her music videos and her horror parodies, which are everything ! i completely understood her venting about the ross matthews thing, because it's really tough to have someone who doesn't do drag, let alone get up on stage and present a look to the judges, say what does and doesn't fit drag "standards." salina talking about dealing with emotions while being sober is such an important point, that i can't express enough. it's so easy to self-medicate with something that's only making us worse. using while having "nothing to lose" hit home in so many ways, i really just wanted to hug her. i truly hope to have the honor of seeing salina perform in person. she's so nice, so creative, so wholesome. as soon as i saw her apartment in this video, i was like, "omg the famous set of 'ustitties' and the 'new rules' videos !" i love her so much, and it's infuriating for someone as kind and talented as her to get such ridiculous, unnecessary, and unwanted feedback from people who shouldn't even be considered fans. on a side note, though, i feel like there's so many different merch ideas salina could be running with, now knowing that she loves merch ! there are like 4 different merch ideas off the top of my head that she could sell and i'd buy (and i already bought her bday jersey and highly recommend, it's gorgeous !). she's lovely, i love her. the end. edit: also shoutout to her snatch game performance, when she pointed to ru and said "you did this !" i was laughing way too hard at that.

LOVE THIS! What a LIGHT! Keep thriving Estitties, ALSO, the way you said 'Celine Dion' on Drag Race LIVES RENT FREE IN MY BRAIN DAILy! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@patrickprus6865]

I can relate with the story so much, I lost my mother as well and to see Salina break down talking about it, my tears are running. And the way she protected her mother from any negative comments. People need get a grip. losing one's mother is the toughest thing. I always said I wouldn't wish the pain I felt when my mother died on my worst enemy. To even think people would leave negative comments for her when she just lost her mother is simply nasty and disgusting. Those people should be ashamed of themselves...

Your show is so amazing. I feel so much for these artists and the trolling/hate they receive because of the lack of connection the screen can create. But these interviews allow us to see that everyone is a human being, everyone bleeds. I feel the world needs so much more of this kind of reality to balance our that vitriol That can come so easily at artists and anyone really, without context.

[@ljak5317]

Salina is one of my favourites from Drag Race, it's so heartbreaking hearing how much hate she got and how much it's affected her. She seems like such a wonderful soul and deserves none of that hate. Don't let anyone dim your sparkle, Salina!

[@marcucho0085]

As a queer Latino, I know where she’s coming from. And for those who didn’t understand that “read” that came from Irene, it really is hurtful to get bashed on for having an accent or just talking about someone’s accent. I was so proud to see her represent the Latino community, because we don’t have a lot of representation. Thank you, Salina - for representing our community!
