'RuPaul's Drag Race' star Pearl Liaison is no longer a fan of the show, says its "kind of a hot-ass mess"

Pearl, who revealed she has not caught up on the ongoing season 11 of 'RuPaul's Drag Race,' says the show no longer showcases the unique and dynamic personalities of the queens

The perfect, glossy world that ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ has created is enticing and entertaining, but it may not represent the whole picture. Many drag queens have hinted at the disappointment they felt while they were on the show, but none of those voices have been louder than that of Pearl Liaison, the runner up on  season 7.

As fans of the show would remember, Pearl was constantly taunted for her seeming uninterest in the competition, and finally during an interview with Jonny McGovern on ‘Hey Qween!’ she revealed why her attitude wasn’t all that pleasant.

Turns out, RuPaul, who was a huge inspiration to the young drag queen, told her that nothing she said mattered unless the camera was on.
