These are the kinds of videos Logo needs to produce on a regular.

Alicia Westfall yesss

[@lisamac1986]

Yes I agree, it’s nice to see the person behind the queen

[@SuperSaiyanD81]

Agreed. at the end of the day, all our favorite queens are as human as the rest of us. :)

[@jasonsaroyan]

I believe it's the 6th one in the Portrait of a Queen series...

available at the clinic!

[@AIexGoneCrazy]

@NewYorkGuinea you can even go and watch the video on KZbin it's spelled Heroine so he was right. It is a play on words as heroin and heroine are pronounced the same but in his commercial he uses the one meaning a female.

So lovely to see how close Detox and Heather are! Aww 🥰

[@intrepidtomato]

What a heartwarming moment. That's when you really fall in love with Detox. Such a strong person, such a good heart.

[@codycochran]

Makes me so jealous!

[@irgendweer]

They even have matching outfits🥺

[@miyabeech8480]

Detox is literally an entire vibe. She has shown resilience, confidence, and vulnerability. She definitely has it all. She proves that you dont need a crown to be considered a successful Queen.

[@MsDee409]

Well said and sooo very true!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@ine2548]

10:01 "Everyone on set was like 'this is gonna be fucking epic', and it was". Don't think I didn't hear Roxxxy's verse in the background. The SHADE of it all.

[@Witchking2024]

Roxy was the one who looked like Kim Kardashian in the challenge right?

[@Witchking2024]

She sounded really off key in the challenge

[@MK-dn8oq]

Roxii was terrible in that song challenge. Katya was the best, then Alaska, the. Detox.

[@oceanlawnlove8109]

It left her with the most memorable and iconic verse though lol it's top tier comedy

[@sugarlove]

I met her in Brussels when she came to Chez Maman she came to the dressing room and party with us! She was so kind and human! A real sweet heart! Bless you my dear! we love you ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@pashatash]

What?! Oh god you're so lucky I didn't know she went there 😭

[@EAROMAN]

I got the opportunity to meet detox in New York at Lush on union square and he was so down to earth and very humble!

Detox is one of the best drag queens from drag race ever. so glad to see her happy!

[@veinsinneon9953]

Season 5 was truly iconic, peak Drag Race.

[@tal9139]

there's a reason why half of all stars 2's cast was from season 5. literaly the entire top 6 was so sickening they had to be brought back.

[@GIZMOmcabr]

I love Detox. Alaska is funny -- but Detox has so much soul. I could watch her for hours. Love you Detox 💜

[@Mysicalgreenunicorn03]

melissa cabrera detox despite having that ability to through excellent shade, never gave off any malicious energy, she is just so cool. Effortless.

[@Sam-xe2bz]

I met Detox, and what a gracious, beautiful person. I am so grateful to have had a minute with her. She gave me a hug, kissed me on the cheek, complimented my shoes, told me to hydrate (I almost passed out because of medical issues) and genuinely was the sweetest human being I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. Detox, I love you💖

I said before and i'll say it again, Detox is my favorite drag queen....!!!

[@busstop5165]

Me too

[@dluz8775]

same. along with alaska

[@lune78]

Hearing Detox talk about Roxxxy makes me so sad. I feel Roxxxy has been treated unfairly by the fandom since AS2. It's not her fault her friends wouldn't send her home. And she always killed it on the runway.

[@jul2447]

What do you mean her friends wouldn't send her home? Btw I only watch season 5, did the hate got worse on AS2?

[@yoongiswetmouth]

@@jul2447 no the hate wasn’t worse, but Detox sent Alyssa home instead of Roxxxy and the fandom wont ever let Roxxxy forget it. Because of Rolaskatox, obvs. Lol

[@qq838]

Okay yeah, but to send Alyssa home?? Are you crazy? And all that hate she served to Jinx on season 5 wasnt it hunny. All Stars 2 was rupauls bestfriend race, absolutely infuriating.

[@lune5289]

Its what she deserved dont act like she didnt bully jinx

[@dluz8775]

@@jul2447 girl the hate gets OVERLOADED. its literally a game??? its just mf tv. its not personal, its drag. its just how the fuckin game works, its just reality tv and you may not have the same opinions with someone but to send death threats and hate over a goddammn tv show?? lmao. it reminded me of when ppeople were bullying naomi bcuz she eliminated manila and manila went on her live and shut all the haters down when she said that its just a fucking game and got mad

[@ladymuffin1224]

"Detox is happy for the first time in a long time. And that means something." YES IT DOES! 💖

[@m6i6n6x]

I just love Detox so much, and I'm crying.❤ Doesn't matter what, she's my 1st runner up, and my winner... Detox inspired me so many times, and basically I started loving Drag bc of her...

[@Retma335]

❤️

[@MistrBlistr]

I say this through tear-filled eyes, Detox's relationship with his sister was so touching. Please more Detox videos! ❤

[@jennyk9748]

I love how these little shorts are reverent of their subject matter. So much media about drag queens is campy or tongue in cheek, which is ok, but it's nice to see it approached in a more serious way.

[@kakerumasumoto3275]

LA is where most would choose to pursue their careers but the fact that he decided to go Chicago and chose to live near her sister shows that there's peace and genuine happiness. Sometimes you don't need to look far to find that happiness. Just having your family near you is already enough.

[@bbbug6176]

I feel so happy for her. The end bit where she says "Detox is finally happy, for the first time in a long time" really got to me

[@brs7370]

Detox was is and will always be my fav drag queen even before drag race I start crying how much I appreciate detox just as she cries talking about roxxxy

[@goodfella3366]

she is and has always been one of the most iconic, exciting, entertaining and well-rounded queens from the show, an actual icon

[@nimrobinson2784]

@@erickscherzy1903 oh gtfo with that attitude. Shes been clean for years. and in terms of 'relapsing', there's a difference between a 'lapse', and a relapse. She had a hiccup. But she's clean.

[@stoyam7515]

Nim Robinson that’s not how that works in the recovery community. A relapse of any kind is just that, a relapse. Nothing wrong with it, it’s a part of recovery, but calling it anything else is untrue and damaging to long term sobriety.

This was very fulfilling and heart-warming! I'm so happy for D-E-T-O hold on...X!

[@Sabior19]

This is my third time watching it and I love it more each time. Just wished it was longer. Love Detox! Detox and Trinity the Tuck, are the 2 queens that have competed both drag race & all stars that have owned the runway. Impressive body of work on and off the show. ❤️❤️❤️

[@FurryWalls1023]

I absolutely fell in love with Detox during AS2. She became one of my favorite queens. And controversial opinion, I think she should have won AS2. She was sooooooooooo fucking good and consistently underrated. She consistently murdered all the other queens with her run way looks and she was consistently top 3 in just about all challenges. Love her. We don't deserve a queen as good as her.

[@dococonnell1011]

This made me so happy, and so fulfilled to see Detox succeed and be so content. Amazing

[@bryanharrelson]

So nice to see a queen so vulnerable and real. I love you Detox!!!

[@VillaAdrian]

WOW! So touching and I love his relationship with his sister. Reminds me of myself and my sister

[@xoxoPinkVoltage]

That read you wrote you performance was EPIC!!! My favorite three are the top three of the All Stars season. I'm a recovered addict, and hearing detox talk about her/his sobriety in season 5 and his/her struggles with addiction, it felt so good to hear someone so talented and amazing like Detox could over come that. It showed me that I could do it too. I'm a little over one year sober now, but back then I was still in active addiction. ( I came late to the Rupaul's drag race game it took me some time to watch all the later seasons.) Detox really pushed me to get sober. Seeing her/him now?! WOW!! I'm 26 and have been feeling really down about never living out on my own and all that. But to see Detox doing it at a "later" age, makes me have hope for myself. That it's ok that you came late to the game of life, just do your best. I hope I can see her live one day! Love you Detox!!!!

[@elHEARTBREAKER]

Please please do more of these! It's great to see the queens beyond the makeup and glam and just having conversations in a more "intimate" space.

[@brookesargent8249]

"I basically bought a house drunk" the most Detox thing I've ever heard 🖤🖤🖤

[@chocolateapple]

So happy and proud of her! And so glad to hear her say that she's happy. I do agree with her when she said she didn't understand why people thought she was third place on All Stars 2. She was the solid, unshakeable first runner of that season. I think a lot of people like to associate the Drag Race crown with likability when they say Katya would have and should have won, but Detox SLAYED that season, surpassed only by Alaska. It makes me sad when people try to discredit her or downplay her achievements just because they didn't like what she did with the elimination. She's one of the best by far!

[@xxxERIN001xxx]

My favorite profile of a drag performer. So true and honest. The deep love and respect that he has for his sister. I can tell he has been working very hard his whole life. I've lost my father and two brothers so I can empathize. I cant believe hes only 27. Very mature, very intelligent and real. My deepest respect. Thank you to the producers and everyone who worked on this profile.... it was flawless and complete and well done. Thank you for showing us such a profound and revealing side of Detox.
