To my best knowledge, Drag Race was a non-union production at the time. It saves the company a lot of money, but it also means you can get away with a lot more mistreatment of cast and crew. Willam, having been a working TV actor, was absolutely a member of the Screen Actor’s Guild at this point. He knew how good, safe sets were supposed to operate and saw one that wasn’t. The other queens were being taken-advantage of but perhaps didn’t want to say anything because they though this was their “big break” or they were simply so green to Hollywood they didn’t know better.

[@Rocko8000]

OH MY GOODNESS exactky

[@onzin7052]

I think it is still a non-union production. The contestants have to sign a contract not as performers but as portraying themselves, so the show isn't obliged to union protocols/rules. Pretty shady if you ask me.

[@cypruslavigne7419]

This isn't trying to devil's advocate, but could it be possible that the word "tits" was on that list of words you can't say on TV? They've gotten a bit more lax now, but 10 years ago there was a lot more things that got censored or blurred if written out. At this time I believe Drag Race was on Vh1, so it was a cable TV program, so it would ultimately adhere to TV rules even if offered on other secondary platforms, although if they wanted they could've produced the "unedited/uncensored" episode like they do now, and with the Untucked episodes. Even if that's the case, which is likely, they probably should've seen how it looked and did something that says "Hey, we aren't trying to hide your trans identity, it's just a banned word we can't air, so let's do this instead..." If this theory is completely wrong though, then that's fucked up on their part.

[@Stanzaawashere]

I have so much respect for Willam. She just does not let anyone shit on her nor will she let any bigoted/evil shit slide. I simply have to stan

[@StrawberryTasha]

Willam was in NYC a few weeks right after S4 finished airing and was fundraising by helping to sell grilled cheese on the streets of NYC at 1AM - don’t ask lol… He posted his location on Twitter earlier that night so when I jumped on Twitter and saw the tweet a couple hours later I RAN several blocks because the event ended around 12:30 and when I got to the location looking all around and FINALLY I saw a gorgeous 6 foot+ blonde wrapping up the event. I approached Willam and he was SUPER friendly and down to earth and I explained the guy I was dating was his #1 fan but he was home sleeping due to work the next morning. I asked if I can call him and have Willam say hello and he agreed. We called but no answer.. so Willam left him an amazing voicemail message. I haven’t spoken to the guy in years but I remember this being so special for him and have nothing bad to say about Willam - great soul ❤️

[@Naitorokkusu]

Willam got me into Drag Race. I found out about her through her music and the KZbin algorithm, did some digging and discovered that she was on RPDR. She's extremely talented and has her heart in the right place. Hands down the #1 star in the entire franchise.

[@melsyoutube]

16:00 wtf this is so disturbing 😟 who needs enemies when you have "friends" like detox to spike your drink behind you back.

[@YochevedDesigns]

Watching "Beatdown" is like eating potato chips late at night, when you know you have to be up early the next day. It seems so wrong, but it feels so right! You just can't stop. Just one more...

[@BHM_Productions]

William is a great drag queen and person. I saw her for my very first drag show, probably about 8 or 9 years ago. I was up front and she was just a blast. She made sure to interact with me a lot and even responded so kindly to my excited posts about it the next day on Facebook AND Tumblr. I'll never forget, she said "Rad. Glad you had a great time and came out for your first show." Thanks for this video! It was a great watch.

[@Angelica_Rodriguez39]

I haven't loved everything Willam has done, but I think overall his heart is in the right place and I love that he advocates for other queens. I also don't ever remember a time when he didn't own his bullshit 100 percent. It shows a lot of character on his part imo

[@sophiasantiago4048]

I can’t wait to watch! I’m always excited to see any of your content! Keep being awesome!

[@GreenGayYT]

Thank you! 💚

[@albertnortje4064]

@@GreenGayYT I have to agree. Normally when youtubers produce these type of videos, I know 90% of the facts already. On this one, I barely knew 50%. You did thorough research, well done!

[@alguaii272]

His humor is absolutely insane And I will never forget her elimination (disqualification) beyond iconic And she kept her cool absolutely impeccable during any argument especially with phi phi during untucked 😮

[@LezbeOswald]

my favorite Willam line of all time is "i brought you this sticker, it's scented. it smells like a sticker." easily my favorite part of the S4 finale.

[@billiemink77]

Willam is a Conqueror of all things sublime whether it be drag singing sarcasm or taking on INJUSTICES she TAKES A TRUE NORTH STAND

[@sayno2lolzisback]

Willam saved my life. I was such a lost little gay boy back in 2012/2013, and finding her during her KZbin heyday changed me forever. Before Willam I honestly never even knew it was possible to not only be gay, but to be totally 100% out and pround, and on top of that, look sickening and enjoy the hell out of life while doing so. Before Willam the only kinds of gay lives in the media I knew were wholly negative, depressing and unrealistic, perhaps serving as some cautionary tale. Seeing that crazy drag queen tear into stupid KZbinrs in the Beatdown gave me LIFE, let me tell you, and gave me confidence to be myself - lame or as cliched as that sounds. If you ever read this Willam - thank you.

[@clown-cult96]

Gotta love a queen who is seen as controversial and in drama not for saying or doing anything actually problematic but simply for speaking her mind and not taking bullshit. Willam walking out of Glee because of Lea Michele is iconic.

[@rileyjdavies]

I’ve met Willam and can 100% confirm she’s generous, kindhearted and humble. My BEST RuGirl experiences have definitely been with her, I’ll stan forever 👑

[@AnaMativi]

I saw Willam in my first ever drag show - I was still living in Brazil at the time. He's such a joy to watch on stage, an icon, a star. I love how intelligent and nonchalant he is. Don't need RPDR when you're that good, but I'm really glad that the show introduced me to him and to many other people!

[@FPwLola]

Willam and Alaska's relationship is all the proof one needs. Both are polar opposites in the RPDR lexicon and yet they are business partners and friends. A business that supports queens. Don't think that would be so unless they were cut from the same bad-ass cloth. Willam just doesn't play games that are rigged and doesn't take shit. That's why I love them and always will. 💗✨

[@danisonice.]

Okay but I've met Willam and she is just so professional and the most respectful performer I've interacted with. She was the frontliner and she declined taking a photo with me back stage during the performance of another new queen so as to be respectful. and I was like damn, yeah you're right!

[@faithruckdeschel1294]

Every time I hear DB say "Ppl Died!" and Willam correcting her saying "Nobody died" I giggle. I will ALWAYS have love and admire Willam because not only is she the reason why I fell in love with The Artistry of Drag(I loved Ru as well for a long time, until Willam, Pearl, etc., came forward with how they was treated by/let down by Ru and how she does ppl who are supposed to be considered her good friends, but it's very easy to tell that fame and money has changed her and when it comes down to having Willam or Ru fight for me, I'd choose Willam? She's defended more human beings and seems to care more about POC than Ru does and she's one of us)but she hasn't needed or used DR to start or solidify a career, and she should've gotten an Emmy for the character "Cherry Peck" from Nip/Tuck. I'm pretty sure it's a very good show but I'll admit that I only watched it for Willam? I'm biracial and my little Black grandma loves Willam too, she said Willam's invited to the BBQ.

[@bhuddatwerks]

I wish they'd do a Drag Race Bad Girls edition. It'd be great to bring in all the good TV girls for a season and watch the drama. Willam would win and stir the part.

[@lorofcb3]

Very solid and thorough video. I always thought Willam was one of the funniest and smartest queens on the show, but it’s also great to now hear so many details about her as a person and how she’s been so helpful to many other queens. Sheds a lot of (good) light on her, great stuff.

[@cherryfairyy]

Yay I was having super bad anxiety unable to sleep n I see u uploaded n it helps me feel better. Love ur videos !

[@GreenGayYT]

Ik the feel! Glad I could help 💚

[@user-tx5hf9zq2v]

I feel when it comes to Willam, it's not trouble making, it's simply not taking fuckin shit from people. But then people start making you look like the bad guy, and if you're clever about is (as Willam was) people realise you actually aren't the bad guy. When I was younger watching season, I didn't like Willam, can't lie. But as time had gone on, I now like her. She knows her worth, she doesn't take shit.

[@GasKan007]

I have not watched every season including season 4, but watching how people talk positively about Willam really makes me admire Willam, especially after watching this video!

[@belabelabelabelabela]

thank u for bringing attention to the season 4 eliminee giant check gag 😭 u get it!!

[@jacobandrewart]

When I met Willam and a meet and greet she was so nice and funny, snd kind and her hugs were top tier♡♡, I will forever be a huge willam fan.

[@2000wattz]

This is why so many celebrities are deemed "Difficult". They refuse to put up with the bullshit production puts them through behind the scenes. I support anyone giving production hell!!!

[@Gowonmother]

I didn’t know much about Willam before but honestly now I think I really love her ! I just love that when something seems wrong she immediately acts, talk or stands up for someone if she needs too, and I’m glad she’s successful in her life good for her !

[@jpollard86]

Out of all your content, I really enjoy these deep dives on the queens the most! So much great info and tea, while remaining kind and objective. Keep up the awesome content 😊

[@duartsy]

I’m genuinely so thankful you decided to create and keep making content, I really love your channel

[@larahedge8960]

Willam was lovely when I met her and I'm so glad she's outspoken and and brave enough to call out anyone for any wrong doing they do, but at the same time I wish she was back at drag race, I loved her on season 4 so I'm sure she would kill a new season

[@ColePenner]

I gotta say: Willam’s blue promo look for the latest season of race chaser is the most beautiful she has ever looked in drag

[@samharris8270]

i love how willam is controversial because she’s unproblematic. like that’s hard to do and that’s legend behavior

[@fightvale57]

She problematic in the best way.Shes problematic to bullshitters

[@marcoc7388]

It's incredible how confident is Willam about himself (I know she likes to be treated as her in drag, but I'm talking about the person) and his achievements, how messy he is sometimes, but at the same time, he is incredibly smart, kind and thankful. I was not into her because of her attitude in the show but when she came to Costa Rica my opinion changed. When she came to Costa Rica, she was THE SWEETEST. She made small talk with everybody and did not have a problem taking photos with people that didn't pay the meet and greet. She even called out the owners of the bar for rushing fans while they were in the meet and greet. I was so awkward (because of her portrayal on the show I thought she was gonna be like a Mean Girl or something) but she immediately noticed I was nervous as hell, and started to calm me down and tell me "that she was just another human being", without making fun, without making me feel uncomfortable. (yes, I had experiences where RuGirls made fun of me because of my nerves, and not in a nice playful way let me tell you... ) I don't know, I feel like her "diva" attitude it's just part of her Willam character, but the human behind that it's kind and sweet. I will always remember when in an interview she said, several times, that without Drag Race she wouldn't be in the place she is right now. So humble...

[@leademi1387]

Willam is the OG hustler and advocate for the Drag Race Girls.

[@David-ho9nj]

I met Willam before and she truly cares about her fanbase, people who care for her and is genuinely caring. She is my favorite queen to ever be on the show. If more people acted like her the world would not be so corrupt or chaotic.

[@sadiestranks]

Great video. Could you please do one on Sharon needles? She comes across really well on her season but apparently that’s not what happened behind the scenes. Your videos do such a thorough look into the background it would be amazing if you could do one on Sharon Needles so I would finally know the whole story

[@XianHaos]

It would have to be a two parter with Alaska, don't you think?

[@GreenGayYT]

Yep I can Def look into it for a future project!

[@sadiestranks]

@@GreenGayYT That would be amazing. Make sure you read alaska's book. She exposes a lot of things about Sharon

[@hawazennnnn]

@@GreenGayYT if you want the annacey tea I'm happy to email you details.

[@priyanka0sam]

Funny how you are asking the creator to make a video so we can tear down a queen who is already “cancelled” by the fandom. It’s funny coz Sharon is literally one of willam’s closest friends in real life. If you listen to their podcast willam & alaska hardly go 5 episodes without mentioning Sharon endearingly.

[@ejune0381]

My aunts met Willam after a performance and they told him that I was a big fan. Willam recorded a short video for me it was so awesome. I respect Willam.

[@boogiedaddy3434]

Love Willam so much, she has always been in my personal top 5. Her willingness to stand up for her sisters is admirable and shows that even though her tongue can be sharp, she has a soft heart.

[@taylormorrison7486]

I listened to the What Happened to Richard Simmons podcast, and Willam, who used to take his classes, had the most brutally honest interview of the whole thing. Willam is punk AF. That McCain Palin shirt they wore out of drag on S4 was so ironic and iconic. I absolutely love Willam. I was so shocked when they got disqualified back in the day. But this video is so awesome to hear the real reasons why. I LOVE YOU WILLAM. I STAN 🖤🖤🖤

[@theshieone]

"First bearded queen" The way I cackled!!!! God, I love her.

[@jamesrsfo]

Thank you for the fantastic video! I learned so much. I remember when all that your tone is rather pointed drama was happening, Willam is fabulous!! I got to work with him on the sequel to “Girls will be girls”. It’s just a shame that film was never released.

[@rotem1437]

Imagine AS2 with William...even more iconic, she is such a great casting choice

[@andreacervantes8905]

That Vicky Vox shade is so subtle. 👌 Willam will always be one of my favorites for standing up to producers and calling out the BS, as well as supporting other queens.

[@sarahgalatea]

I'm so so proud of Willam! He knows that he had to give up a ton of "benefits" and jobs with WOW but that never stopped him from being so brave and to not let anyone step on him and on the other queens! I wish we could see more of Willam in this franchise, but I wouldn't want Willam to change I loved watching his interview with Joseph Shepherd and I recommend it to everyone! btw I hope now WOW is paying the queens to work at dragcon, because seriously??? that's ridiculous

[@JC-yy8iv]

They’re not 🤬

[@h3zANDRU]

I-- I’m still confused why they were drugging him. My mind goes to the worst case scenarios and I hate that.

[@AleksandarBell]

Especially when they said that he consented to them drugging him and NEVER gave an actual reason for him wanting them to. That’s suspicious. Like why tf would he want you to drug his drink, and if he wanted drugs why would he want you to put it inside a drink instead of just normally? Most people do not consume drugs through drinks consensually.

I’ve meet many and many of queens going to dragcon to.
