Top 20 Shady Queens on RuPaul's Drag Race

yeah i said that welcome to ms mojo and today we're counting down our picks for the top 20 shady queens on rupaul's drag race i mean i personally wouldn't wear it i wouldn't wear it but for you it's cute for this list we're looking at our favorite sharp tongued contestants from the reality series who are not afraid to tell it like it is however we won't be including competitors whose behavior is more nasty than shady who is the real queen of shade let us know in the comments below number 20. diabetes according to jasmine let me put my second face on the so-called villain edit is a notorious part of the drag race experience this of course is when a queen is painted as the season's antagonist in the editing room whether or not they deserve it in season 14 there is little doubt who this applies to but you can't argue with the many eye rolls critiques of other people's outfits and sarcastic comments that diet delivers i am very proud of you georges that is the sexiest napkin i've ever seen at the end of the day this queen has given us entertainment and she clearly has love for her sisters we all need someone to voice what we're thinking even when those thoughts are on the shady side i don't know if that's what i would blame it on i don't know i'm just saying like that's why we have a storyboard is so we have something to follow number 19 detox i mean that one's going to bug me that little one she's already starting to bug detox is one of the most recognizable faces from the drag race cinematic universe she turned looks in all stars too but she was arguably at her shadiest in her first franchise appearance throughout season five detox's confessional showcased hilarious digs at her competitors horchata looks like a cross between one of the jackson fives and a member from cats no matter the subject the queen's rye humor and wit came through clearly and in untucked she certainly did not mince words either in one instance she truly schooled serena chacha after the latter's condescending remarks about education i read books oh we're gonna be nice so none of us read books is that what you're trying to say none of us are educated detox isn't mean-spirited but when she's had it you'd better watch out i've had it officially number 18 ahora taste the queen of face but the last time i remember you served me face you was laid on your back with your tongue out and i was sat on it season two of drag race uk just wouldn't have been the same without a horror sure she wasn't the only one with entertaining confessionals but her remarks had a bite that made for sheer entertainment this clever work in my favor and she can give me some pointers or she could outshine me but let's be honest it's tia cafe ahora pulled no punches when critiquing her peers outfits and considering her background in design we don't blame her but she had funny and sassy lines for a whole variety of situations ellie you could have had a bikini her shadiness arguably reached its peak though when she and a competitor clashed over similar looks sister sister more like copy carpe with a horror accusing sister sister of aping her concept during the filming break the claws were out why'd you change it money in seven months opportunity time and inspiration number 17 valentina manila luzon i love you so much on your season but who's a booger now some shady queens get into tussles and others reign supreme in confessionals and to be sure valentina had no problem reading her competitors for filth when necessary however her shady qualities emerged most prominently at the season 9 reunion she was revealed as that installment's miss congeniality and let's just say that some queens took issue with the news multiple contestants attested to her less than congenial behavior during and after filming i respect you and love you um you don't love me plus they called out her reluctance to reel in overprotective viewers most of all though her treatment of pheromones seemed to speak volumes pheromone just shut up valentina staged a major comeback in all stars 4 but her shady behavior surrounding her first drag race appearance cannot be forgotten the antenna is the fierce competitor there's no doubt that she's supposed to be here number 16 utica queen season 13 was full of big characters but this queen had one of the most striking personalities of all i know you're gentle by nature do you think you can roast these beasts underneath i think there is a bubbling evil exterior interior utica combined a youthful innocence with an unusual artistic sensibility which made her cutthroat shade all the more shocking i have children utica you sure do look like it this was most apparent in the truly unforgettable comedy roast episode [Music] oh i'm sorry i thought you could speak whale her routine did have some truly daring moments like asking rupaul to stand and expose the lower portion of her outfit you are such a fashion icon if you could stand up for us please however although most of utica's jokes were brutal they weren't well received it's just as hard as to swallow as lonnie love's comedy career [Music] [Laughter] [Music] this roast performance was one of the cringiest in drag race herstory but it was also one of the shadiest number 15. acid betty have you ever guys been in proper shows before where you have to learn choreography and stuff when i was a kid yeah yeah like first year or when you were younger so you don't really know how to like just focus and get it done long before diabetes showed off her signature eye roll on season 14 another betty practically patented the move that would be makeup artist extraordinaire acid who brought realness and attitude to season 8 until her fateful madonna lip sync who could forget when her shadiness came up at the finale in front of a live audience trixie mattel unforgettably confronted betty about the latter's choice words during an untucked episode the question is in untucked did you or did you not come for me as trixie's video message had played to kim chi season eight's shady lady simply couldn't contain herself that nose contour is atrocious betty's critiques of trixie's makeup were definitely uncalled for but they did produce an iconic finale moment and you still haven't fixed that nose contour [Applause] bye number 14 violet tchotchke we simply could not have passed over the season seven winner she was even voted shadiest queen during her season's despi awards challenge and the award goes to violet tchotchke [Applause] you don't like me you really don't like me from the premiere episode onward violet showed that she had opinions about her competitor's abilities i've seen miss famous work before and i'm pretty impressed but not that impressed crucially though she had the goods to back up her confidence she could definitely put her foot in her mouth like when she declared she hated michelle visage what girl what she said just rubbed me the wrong way but as we saw in the reading mini challenge she would read you to your face just as well katya at this point you really should just make like your hairline and recede this queen has become a fashion authority for good reason and we will never get tired of her fiery hot takes there's something charming about her sort of hodgepodge drag that's violet being positive everybody number 13. jimbo although jimbo could certainly read a queen on her season of canada's drag race the claws and the breastplate truly came out in uk versus the world you form that alliance yourself and then you backstab that person with a big machete her competitors came after her for ostensibly making multiple alliances but that wasn't even close to jimbo's shadiest move after she was eliminated by pangina the canadian queen left a hilariously snarky message on the workroom mirror my name is pangina and i'm a stupid idiot p.s i love you all p.p.s except jimbo then came jimbo's barrage of hypothetical critiques of pangina during the finale episode you know i i laid in bed and i was like i'm gonna just talk about how shitty that stupid outfit was with her damn ponytails and all the stupid ties or i'm gonna talk about how shitty she looked and that dumb polka dot look where i'm gonna talk about what a stupid she is but then rue said release to the universe and that's what i've done so i'm not gonna say those things we know that the canadian queen plays a larger-than-life character dripping with irony but there was no denying that in this case the shade was real that is the shadiest move number 12. thorgy thor greg is fun and then because i'm going to hate shangela for life how about suck it shangela and i'm going to spell it with two l's because she hates that there's shade and then there is salty thorgy thor happened to be both during her season 8 and all star's 3 appearances don't get us wrong we love this vivacious clowny queen but she did not hesitate to stir up drama as a contestant and it made for great tb on her first season she often spoke of being underappreciated by the judges especially when compared to bob the drag queen and like bob is funny but so am i i'm just not as loud and annoying in all stars meanwhile she again complained of unfair treatment but this time she might have had a point i'm lucky that i have less lyrics however i think mine was less funny in any case her goodbye letter to trixie mattel with some choice words for shangela caused serious drama in the work room from thorgy oh thorgy wrote this yeah it says this shady angela looking good feeling gorgeous and acting shady number 11. darian lake if bianca del rio calls you shady then we can safely say it's the truth how i appreciate the elephant darian wasn't usually outright mean but some queens certainly got on her bad side she never shied away from providing feedback or facing down her competitors whether trinity k bonnet gia gunn or courtney act do you have courtney's costume together i was hoping that i could get somebody else to make it for me but her shade was often targeted at ben de la creme who seemed to rub her the wrong way from questioning the comedy queen's challenge wins to calling her big-headed there was no telling what critique darien would lobby next some of dallas wins have boosted the size of her head hopefully she doesn't tip over but dayla didn't just sit around and take it throughout this season six feud she had no shortage of quick witted retorts up her sleeve am i being hateful by saying that no you're being real and that's what i am unreal and your real self is hateful number 10. ginger minge this three-time competitor is one of the funniest to ever do it her shadiness isn't the only reason why but it certainly doesn't hurt girl does it piss you off that you serve something very different every single week and there's people who get by doing the same and are praised for it she pulled no punches in her original appearance humming for the likes of max and kennedy davenport and untucked mere moments into all-stars 2 meanwhile she subtly questioned violet tchotchke's season 7 win apparently all it takes to win is the car set so i bought oh and did we mention her success in reading mini challenges miss fame i think everything about you is so original except for those lips those cheeks and everything you present to the judges on the runway they certainly weren't the only instance of ginger shadiness but they did demonstrate her ability to come up with cutthroat one-liners like nothing else adore delano do you know what makes you the number one fan favorite of all time no neither do i when the glamour toad's around no one is safe this ditch is so old her wigs have osteoporosis number nine jay jolie this queen is responsible for one of the most savage reads in drag race herstory however she didn't only direct her ire at the iconic alyssa edwards in the season 5 premiere she got into a brutal back and forth with the infamous serena chacha there's funny and there's just like blunt rudeness can you not take it is that why like oh honey i can take it you're just like so immature it's just really aggravating although she got hit a few times there's no question she emerged from the feud on top but of course jade's shadiest moment came about during an iconic untucked episode girl you had rolls all over the place in the back it was disgusting jade had previously clashed with alyssa but it's obvious the dancing queen was not expecting the now infamous back rolls call out jade got her and got under her skin number eight courtney act hey daughter your drag daughter's got your natural hog body that's a compliment did this australian queen get the villain edit on season six that's up for debate but there's no question she threw down her fair share of shade while on the show for one we cannot ignore her condescending attitude towards her admirer jocelyn fox does one of us want to be like her before and one of us want to be after imagine if you were the before but the problem is no one would ever believe that you were the after she referred to jocelyn as her little sister but we feel bad for anyone whose sibling treats them like that aside from her main victim courtney also loved to come for bianca del rio and adore delano i kind of was thinking that he would turn out something that we hadn't seen when your very first words to someone are backhanded it's obvious there's more shadiness to come i'm glad i'm not the only idol contestant in here you're on season one no what season were you on we on season one and i was like oh we're playing that this year number seven tatiana i picked detox to be my partner because she's funny she's dirty and she's not fifi or roxy choices thank you tatiana for providing countless unforgettable moments on your two drag race appearances whether way back in season two or in the second installment of all stars she never failed to comment on her competitor's questionable choices choices she quarreled with tyra sanchez during her first appearance calling out the eventual winner right in front of the judges um i don't think that you're seeing that tyra is the complete she was underestimated at first during her comeback season but quickly showed she could hit back at her fellow all-stars alyssa edwards you are so talented and you haven't let it go to your head nothing's changed you or your overbite and who could forget perhaps tatiana's shadiest appearance of all in an episode of all-stars season 1's untucked she appeared on video to read the contestants for filth you're always the first to throw shade when you should probably be the first to go hide in it number six shangela if drag race has a clapback queen then shangela is surely in the running do y'all smell that smell like lies to me she clashed with the likes of carmen carrera and raja and untucked but her most iconic shade fest involved the notorious mimi i'm first sure angela came from mimi's makeup and brand of drag but once the latter responded the gloves were off i don't have a sugar daddy i've never had a sugar daddy if i wanted a sugar daddy yes i probably could go out and get one because i am what sickening you could never have a sugar daddy because you are not that kind of girl shangela did not take kindly to accusations of financial support to say the least maybe everything i've had i've worked for and i've gotten myself i built myself from the ground up no you in her incredible run on all stars three shangela had calmed down considerably but she could still lay down the law when needed especially when it came to milk hallelujah she really thinks that she's in the top two on this one i'm crack number five raven and you were liberal in speaking your mind let's take a look nicole's gone praise the lord rupaul's makeup artist got her start as one of season two's sassiest competitors although she would find friendship in queens like jujube any fan of the show knows she has a dark side she delivered no shortage of brutal but hilarious comments particularly towards her nemesis tatiana in one particularly memorable exchange and untucked raven claimed she would never say a certain something about tatiana all of you guys think that i'm like that i'm like nothing i would never say that of course this wasn't quite the truth her interview was her look was her book cover was her trying to launch and sell her book to the judges was she i would never say that the duo also butted heads at the reunion over raven's disparaging comments tatiana's an airhead all she's been doing the past couple weeks is this tatiana is about face value but we also cannot forget how the all-star also went after nicole paige brooks and pandora box among others not really impressed with her too much she has acrylic toenails with white french tips she seems to have softened over the years but raven will always have an edge that makes for pure entertainment number four jujube with the likes of tyra sanchez raven and tatiana budding heads the shade was bountiful in season two however jujube still managed to stand out for her wit and candor who could forget her assessment of tyra's star potential and her shoes in untucked tyra has talent tyra is unique i i can see that nerve she had the nerve to wear those ugly ass shoes i give that to her charisma i don't see any she's just aunt and need we remind you that jujube has won three separate reading challenges she told us she would read a queen to filth and she certainly was not wrong and you legendary you think you are legendary looks like leg and dairy who could forget phrases like leg and dary and mayhem miller mayhem filler so harvey i'm sorry i'm sorry i mean miller she's had no shortage of appearances throughout the franchise but a mind like hers keeps us coming back for more number 3. willem fifi you are gorgeous you catch the camera's eye from the right but from the left you snag it this early season queen has never returned to drag race but her original appearance is about as iconic as they come you know the girls with splotchy body makeup runs in their tights visible padding lines right here it needs to be stopped she didn't usually get loud during conflicts with her fellow queens but she didn't need to even when they were quiet her clever retorts were perfectly timed she also had no lack of confidence and made sure everyone knew it sure her big talk about her acting career got old but she's a legend for a reason you know sometimes people don't need to reinvent the wheel and they can just wear clothes and put their face on a boat and win like me even though she could rub her fellow queens the wrong way her passive-aggressive brand of shade made season 4's untucked one of the best ever nurse your tone seems very pointed right now number two gia gun her look may be similar to mine but honey there's a big difference mine is couture and hers is just hot glue we have to give her credit this queen was never afraid to speak her mind even when it didn't make her the most likeable my god there's room for everybody let's just say that in fact she's one of the most cutthroat queens to ever compete on the show i feel like you're gonna kind of be like maybe the motherly figure the mother called me old all right from the moment she met ben de la creme in the work room gia showed she was a master of backhanded compliments and cheeky comments and shall we discuss her takes on kelly mantle kelly drag caliber is just not to where i would expect it to be for an experienced queen if it's just not giving it maybe it's just not for you unsurprisingly geo wasn't exactly a peacekeeper upon her return for all stars four because according to your team you're the weakest link however she certainly gave us some hilarious quotes while she lasted oh it's so boring would we keep watching absolutely before we continue be sure to

your settings and switch on notifications number one bianca del rio trinity reminds me of a dear friend of mine from new orleans she's dead although trinity k bonnet infamously couldn't answer bianca's line of questioning and untucked we don't know if we could either let me ask you a very fair question what do you do successfully that is how towering a presence season six's reigning comedy queen is she is viper tongued and whip smart and she showed throughout her appearance that she could read her competitors like no one else jocelyn fox she's so gay even her has a lisp although her critiques could be brutal her sense of comedic timing made her shade some of the funniest drag race has seen then we have a door i know what you got on your sats up whether an oversized ego or a dull personality it was all material for bianca and we were happy to be her audience they wanted some local like celebrity type people and none of them were available which is why you took the job [Music]
