the way contestants are treated on the show she also claimed a RuPaul didn't interact with the girls off-camera adding or just game pieces for her show considering rue has been caught on camera struggling to remember Queens names there might be some truth to this we responded to Fifi's comments by unfollowing her on social media number 8 Valentina's toxic fans Valentina was one of season nines rising stars but her meteoric crash back down to earth during the 9th episodes lip-synch for your life has become her legacy Valentina this is lipstick free life we need to see your lips take that thing off of your mouth dismayed at her sudden elimination some members of Valentina's passionate fan base turned on other contestants on social media particularly alexis michelle alexis brought this up during the reunion episode saying she received horrible messages about her weight and much worse but you never told them i called you i facetimed you in tears because of people telling me I should go kill myself because I'm so ugly and so fat and I should have volunteered to eliminate myself over your elimination when asked by the other Queens why she failed to try to stop this Valentina asserted that she wasn't active enough online to do anything no one seemed to buy this especially Shay cule whether you were reading the comments verbatim or not you knew what was going on in light of all this Valentina's Miss Congeniality when was renamed fan favorite fire season 9 sisters number 7 accusations of the show is rigged as more and more controversial decisions and unpopular twists keep happening on drag race fans and critics alike have been speculating on how real the so-called reality competition show is y'all send me home it was rigged frontrunner is being purposely eliminated two winners being pre picked there's no end to the conspiracy theories season 4 contestant Willam said in an interview that it was an open secret that Sharon Needles was destined for the crown while Mariah's lipstick message in season 3 congratulated Raja on her coming victory which producers sneakily tried to edit out it wouldn't have mattered if I'd have done anything differently Allstars has also been marred by fans feeling like several queens were robbed from Raven to Katya to shangela to Manila all-stars to winner Alaska cheek Lee referenced this during all stars for cameo winning isn't everything but it's really cool number six RuPaul reportedly telling pearl to save it for the cameras pearl stared an with RuPaul in season seven has become iconic but since then she's become infamous for an unaired exchange with the head drag race judge there's something on my face in an interview with hey Queen pearl told host Johnny McGovern that in between takes she gushed to Rou about how much being on the show meant to her to which real allegedly replied nothing you say matters unless the camera is rolling just giving her you know that whole like everything I've ever wanted to say to her and she turned to me and she said nothing you say matters unless that camera is rolling while the comment could be interpreted in different ways pearl said it broke her past contestants gia Gunn the vixen and laganja estranja also said they had heard similar sentiments from ruth though laganja viewed it as hollywood wisdom pearl later said a drag race producer told her her comments had guaranteed she'd never appear on all-stars number five you've got shemail is removed up until 2014 the recurring segment where the girls watch a video message from RuPaul teasing the episodes main challenge was called you've got shemail hello this is both a parody of America's Next Top Model Tyra mail and a play on the phrase [ __ ] the term is considered an offensive transphobic slur and while this shows use of it was tongue-in-cheek as one of the few LGBTQ programmes on air viewers felt drag race needed to be more inclusive of the trans members of the community represented eventually the segment title was replaced with [Music] [Applause] however the decision wasn't backed by RuPaul who told the Guardian that he wouldn't have changed it because the intent wasn't hurtful number four racism in the world of drag race fans critics and contestants have pointed out that racism has been festering within the show and it's tandem for a while at least this time she picked a Filipino while some Queens of color have succeeded by deliberately playing into stereotypes others particularly those who don't speak English as a first language tend to get pigeonholed and undervalued on the show that's a great answer unfortunately Aisha it's not a match in season 10 the Vixen sparked a huge discussion about race particularly when she argued Aquarius tearfulness made her look like an angry black woman and walked out of the reunion when her side of the fight with Eureka O'Hara wasn't supported by Rou season winner Bob the drag queen weighed in by highlighting the disparity and social-media followings between Caucasian and Queens of color oh the Comets second must get lit up all white people are racist period point blank end of story you cannot be white and not racist it's not possible number three Willam calling out the show's terrible working conditions will I'm shocking disqualification from drag races fourth season was seemingly explained by Willam himself in the reunion episode while rumours what really happened have been rampant ever since Willam appeared to finally set the record straight in a 2018 Twitter conversation with SNL star Leslie Jones who was binge watching his season Willam confirmed his rule breaking got him booted off the show but claimed he'd done so deliberately because working conditions were so poor he claimed the set was unsafe accused staff of harassing him and being racially insensitive to Latrice Royale and that cast members dietary restrictions were not met apparently Sharon Needles survived off of bread and ranch dressing alone oh goodness dentist number two an all-white dry grace Hall of Fame Monet exchange in Trinity the Tuck maid drag race history when they became the first joint winners of all stars for [Applause] each win $100,000 while some twists have left audiences screaming this one had viewers gagged in the wrong way some pointed out a contradicts RuPaul's previous criticism of what he calls participation trophy culture I'm sending you both home I'm sorry my dears neither one of you showed me the fire it takes to stay it unfortunately undermines what could have been an important solo win for Monet as a first queen of color inducted into the Hall of Fame that would just be such a mom you we were just too like the generations of young black gay men we'll just be very special while drag race winners have been diverse the first three seasons of All Stars have given us the complete opposite three thin white and blonde champions considering the show's other reported problems with racism it's really not a cute look [Music] [Laughter] number one RuPaul saying trans woman probably can't compete drag race has sparked controversy within the LGBTQ community for its mishandling of transgender issues former trans contestants like Carmen Carrera and Monica Beverly hillz railed against the continued use of transphobic language after a mini-challenge dubbed female or [ __ ] was included in season six is it a Sheila or [ __ ] female that's wrestler Chyna I'm still not sure whether I can't got it right or wrong yeah me neither the controversy reached fever pitch however when RuPaul told The Guardian in 2018 that he probably wouldn't allow a transgender contestant who'd undergone gender confirmation surgery to compete later likening it to an athlete using performance-enhancing drugs on Twitter after huge backlash forced him to apologize gia Gunn became the first trans woman to return for an all-star season though off the show she's made it clear she's not ready to forgive and forget what you want to do is not necessarily what you're gonna do so did you guys agree with the list let us know in the comments below don't forget to give us a thumbs up and subscribe if you haven't done so already
