![]() Delta and Raven’s nominations were rescinded, however, because the episode that was nominated did not feature Ru in drag. Although some of RuPaul’s looks were criticized for not being up to par during Season 9, the show earned an Emmy nomination for hair and makeup. This meant that the show needed someone to do Ru’s hair and makeup, so in stepped Delta Work from Season 3 to take care of hair, and Season 2 runner-up Raven to be in charge of her makeup. After Ru’s interview came out, she went to Twitter and said “RuPaul is the Hitler, false prophet, anti-Christ of the LGBTQ community.” Many fans thought the comparison was not right, and the statement has probably put Carrera officially on the Drag Race no-fly list.Īt the beginning of filming for Season 9, RuPaul and his former makeup artist, Mathu Anderson, allegedly had a falling out and Mathu stormed off the set. Hopefully, this will lead to more representation in the future, but Carrera is not likely to be representing Drag Race anytime soon. Multiple transgender queens have since appeared on Drag Race since, and Victoria Scone was the first bio queen to compete, appearing on Season 3 of Drag Race UK. She also wasn’t too fond of the idea of any women competing on the show, including bio queens and drag kings. RuPaul stated in an interview in 2018 that she probably wouldn’t allow trans queens to participate on the show if they had already begun to medically transition. Carrera, as well as fans, have criticized Ru for a lack of trans representation on the show, particularly because transgender queens are so important to the LGBTQ+ community. She called out RuPaul for the use of the term “She-Mail” on Drag Race, which was changed, but the controversy affected Carrera's relationship with RuPaul. It does not store any personal data.Carmen Carrera came out as transgender after her appearance and Season 3 and became an advocate for transgender rights.

If not, I let them be which is usually what they want. On the rare occasions when I’ve met famous people, of course I’m grateful and I generally say something to the effect of “It’s nice to meet you” and if the person wants to continue to talk or if I have something meaningful to say we will continue. Most people are just starstruck or trying to butter up the celebrity to get something. Why tell the person it’s an “honor” to meet them? You don’t know them to be able to judge what an honor it is (in most cases). It’s silly and a little embarrassing to gush over a celebrity anyway. Ru Paul probably considers such off camera interactions a waste of time and as brutal as that is it’s probably part of the reason he’s successful. That says to me that Ru Paul’s relationship to Pearl, the other contestants, possibly the judges and anyone else on the show have no value other than whether they can produce a compelling episode. “Nothing you say matters unless that camera is rolling”. Assuming the conversation went down the way Pearl said it did, Ru Paul’s response doesn’t surprise me.
