I hope one day Nina allows herself to receive the love people give her. People always talk about "love yourself", but allowing others to love you is just as difficult, if not more.

[@harleybaker4684]

Slay Nina!!!! She inspires me because even though she struggles so much internally, she's working through it. She's an honest portrayal of how so many feel inside. Love you Nina Bonina Banana Fofana inspiration brown!!$

[@haley2926]

Nina is not perfect but the reason Ru and everyone loves her: She was herself. That's mostly all Ru wants out of someone on the show. And she was a true original. She is unique and was even pretty much knighted by Gaga as someone special.

[@julz3tt3]

That she was.... 💖💖💖💖💖

[@tacaraelam7775]

dont speak for everyone i hate how nina was so negative

[@Itwas2007]

[@eniogoncalves6861]

I'm relate so much with Nina, because I'm also known as the Debbie Downer. Self Destruction is something hard, people think that just compliement or a "be happy" will help, but it's not like that.

[@kelly-annjohnson2720]

Ênio Gonçalves finally someone who said how it REALLY is. I’m so tired of seeing hate comments towards Nina about it. Like girl you think she just chooses to be that way?

[@MrELUNA80]

Have you tried meditation? Focus on your solar plexus and heart chakras. Give it a try. You'll see results day by day. Consistency is key.

[@mariasalce-glover5914]

people were so cruel to her and she is the hardest on herself. Nina is so talented and so sweet and kind she will always be my drag superstar!!! love you Nina

[@mariasalce-glover5914]

Brandon C. Sites - Critic of Modern Day Horror I agree. when I met Nina at dragcon she was so kind to myself and my daughter. she is real and has real issue that alot people have and are afraid to voice.

[@Chittamama16]

well i don't really think people were cruel to her.

[@tiffanylastinger3925]

Where??? most people rooted strongly for her from the beginning and hardcore and even way later even on her leaving episode...

[@mariasalce-glover5914]

she got all sorts of death threats when she sent Valentina home

[@mariasalce-glover5914]

it's been all over social media that people were cruel to her and sending her threats she had to make her Instagram private for a few days after Valentina was eliminated.

[@abelmagana8985]

Nina is one of the most unique and real queens!

[@xxxCantyaTomya]

It's just frustrating because the other queens would always be like, "Nina! You're sickening stop doubting yourself!" And it's like wow telling a depressed person to just stop being depressed works so well ??? No one chooses to be depressed.

[@meaghanmerida6002]

Elena • I don't think they expected her to just get over it. It's hard when you see someone who's struggling and you want to help and you know they are a badass but don't see it themselves So you do give them compliments and kind words hoping maybe it'll plant a seed that they are amazing. You just want to help that person who's struggling in anyway you can and sometimes people say cliche things but it doesn't mean they don't mean it. Don't be so rude and judgemental ya know??

[@D__Cain]

Elena • girl. You can’t expect everyone to know how to tackle and help someone with depression. It’s only natural to tell someone to try to pick themselves up.

[@mikeyweaselwhipper3074]

[@sajat717]

Excuses

[@OneLoveRSR]

Indeed! Living with depression, myself, one of the worst things to say to a person living with depression is "choose to be happy!" IT. DOES. NOT. WORK. THAT. WAY!

[@juliusmaloney]

At the very least Nina acknowledges her image on the show wasn't an edit. If she doesn't get out of her own way and maximise this moment this won't be the opportunity it should be.

[@victorbarraza4910]

luckly she is basically everywhere hahaah. I think she will do just fine.

[@tenleeso10]

She's so vulnerable and relatable, how can you not love her? ❤ #NinaAndTinaForAS3

dont care tbh right

[@tigcheru]

Ain't that the truth! I was really hoping someone would send her packing in the lip sync!

[@vancitysuperkid]

I don't think so.Alexis was fighting to stay where as Nina just gave up.

[@tvlersalinas]

Alexis should have left wayyy earlier in the season, maybe before Charlie. I think she was kept to preserve viewers based on frustration lol.

[@willyumcornelius9900]

[@klmshadybay12]

Hell yeah

[@Enzempiro]

I'm going to reference another queen but hear me out. If... Miss Fame is really the top of the game (well, as far as I see) when it comes to makeup... she should do Nina's face. I think she'd turn it out as long as she really researched her tones and colors (which I know she would). Can you imagine? But anyway... she reminds me of struggles that I deal with as far as my self confidence. I think she relates to A LOT of the fan base more then ANY other Queen. Love her❤️.

[@TheBrianTerrell]

Anthony English 👍🏾

[@darkerthanblackk1]

Ms fame doesn't paint black girls, remember?

[@armincornix3902]

She painted Monica Beverly Hillz and she's black.

[@borabora1309]

Anthony English yes she is relatable to all the underdog, including me. thats why im rooting for her.

[@davidb5205]

Miss Fame painted Todrick Hall for his "Low" music video with RuPaul and it was amazing! She definitely knows how to paint black girls well.

[@kiwikitty5319]

I wish nina knew how much people love her. My best friend is a little straight boy who has never cared about drag in his life and he genuinely related to her. Shes not just the first drag queen he's related to but one of the first people in general. We both cried when she got sent home. She wasn't annoying on the show, she was raw, she was real, and she showed her true self. People don't get what she's going through so they think she's complaining or being shady. But if you have been through the things she's been through then you know that shit isn't true at all. Thank you Nina we love you.

[@rosiellagrace]

kiwikitty that is THE only thing I hope she gets out of this whole experience, if she only gets one thing - if you followed her even a slight bit before the show, she got a lot of hate thrown her way in comments online.. I really hope she realizes that those assholes are just, generally, louder but there''s just as many people out there that love the shit out of her, too! I have seen the same assholes throughout her run on the show, but I've seen a lot of people come to really like her and every time I see comments like yours, it melts my heart for her!! I know she's likely to see it, she is a petty hoe!!

[@clown-cult96]

I love how honest Nina is so honest about how she feels...and how Johnny respects her feelings and what she has to say.

[@thisissupremacy2376]

Nina is not my top 3 for Season 9 She's my top 3 for all 9 seasons.

[@foccha]

John Hu Mine too! Along with Willam and Alyssa Edwards

[@pbjoiner]

Nina, you're beautiful. If you have depression, please get help. Mine nearly killed me until I did.

[@treebear8364]

yup...she needs to get help. Mental wounds are not visible to the eye and they are just as important as physical wounds.

[@augustlilly]

Depression is a health issue in and of itself, it should be treated as one. Plus sometimes it's a symptom of health issues outside the brain (thyroid issues, celiac disease, and many many more) (and sometimes inside the brain like OCD or ADHD etc.). So there's a multitude of reasons to get that shit checked out.

[@PeanutsAssorted]

She's definitely THIS Fans favorite. I can see a fishy queen any time, there's no queens that're doing what Nina does and I live for it.

[@StrongerThanYsterday]

She is very REAL I felt every single word she said, bless her .

[@destinybutyourdadjustcalls6662]

C'mon Marceline 💓👏🏻 queen Nina slays

She’s honestly a lot more talented than anyone else on the show it’s just she tells the truth and y’all don’t like that js

[@nikolapi5622]

We love you, Nina! You're incredibly talented and special!

[@MrWotsItoya]

when you've been treated poorly for too long it becomes incredibly hard to trust people who treat you with respect it is a weird paranoia that builds a wall around you out of fear to be hurt and i feel like that could be the case with her that being said i hope with all the new support she gets she will realize how loved she is and rise up to her potential

[@rodrigowell2561]

Yes! Nina's serving all the Adventure Time realness! Such a cool, creative and beautiful person. Nina and Valentina were two of my favorites this season. Ms. Nina, if you ever read this, know that it was so good to see someone being real about their issues, because we all have them, in one way or another. We're all human. There's this woman preacher I like, her name is Christine Caine. She's been through a lot in her life and has been helping people to overcome and grow from the pain in their past (she has books out there, but there are also videos of her all over KZbin). Anyways, just wanted you to know that you are loved the way you are and I'm sure we are all rooting for you to overcome whatever you feel might be holding you back. I'm sending you love from Brazil and wishing you the best things!

[@rodrigowell2561]

Haha, I see! If nightcrawler did drag he might look like that!

[@CartoonPropaganda]

I'm not ready, I really am not ready!! Yass Nina bo'Nina thicker than a pound coin Brown 😵😵😵

I love you Nina! So many of us do! There's nothing wrong with therapy or going to a psychiatrist to work on yourself.

[@thorazinedreams381]

Send this queen love, y'all. Nina receives so much hate on a daily basis. I live for her looks, for her channel, and I relate to her a lot. I can't imagine anyone disliking her so much to threaten her. Its shitty. Just wanted to throw that out there. She's one of the good ones on this planet.

[@aldnor129]

A true artist is someone who can make art out of two sticks and a rubber band. Nina is an artist and used drag as her medium. You can have a 30k camera or all the expensive products in the world, but that CAN'T buy you creativity and talent! Genius artist have made masterpieces in all mediums and genres out of low to no budget at all and that is the mark of a true artist. So Nina, keep doing you and I hope you can gain more confidence and love.

[@theycallmemr_g]

It speaks to me that Nina spent most of this interview explaining herself. I do the same exact thing and it gives me hope that I can still be successful! I see so much of myself in her and I’ve never been so attached to someone. Nina is a real person and I love it! Nina will never see this or know me, but has helped me soooooo much.

[@drjuliansass]

She's truly a wonderful person and I love her so much.

[@BaebyBear23]

[@vonray2781]

#TeamNinaForever

[@jamesmartin8317]

I've said it on many other social media forums, but I completely empathize with how she feels. Her feelings and emotions and how she deals with situations is so so sooo relatable to not only me, but many other people. You have dreams, ideas, and aspirations of what you want and how you want to feel, but there is a wall. There is something getting in your way of achieving how you desire to be. I am seriously inspired by Nina. She is so unique, and no one on drag race, or any queen out there tbh can paint her face and create a character like she does. She is very real and handled the spotlight great. Everybody say love

[@KaliGam]

Jonny's foundation is making me feel some type of way...

[@ijay2195]

My FAV👏👏

[@bumpbeast4044]

Nina and Jonny are both wonderful and watching them gush over each other was such a lovely moment. “Honey you’ve been struggling and suddenly the spotlight is on you and people are loving you and obviously you’re having a hard time believing it, but believe it! It’s happening to you!” 😭 we love you both so much, thank you for not only your hard work and talent but for your kindness and vulnerability.

[@mohammadkhan985]

If like katya she can get her confidence and (learn to sew.........) she could've easily made top 3 she has probably the most star power like valentina and trinity taylor

Violet has been nice to Nina but Dax has also made public statements calling Nina basic. I was really disappointed by that tbh.

I enjoyed this interview way more than I thought I would

[@shannonfay2929]

NINA: That thing inside yourself that feels broken is called DEPRESSION. and it can get better! Please go see someone and get some help, because you don't have to feel like this. You can read wonderful comments about how we love you to pieces and think you're so unique and brilliant, and honestly BELIEVE those things if you go get some help. You don't have to feel that depression, it can be better. And you're such an amazing person, you deserve to be able to love yourself as much as we do.
