LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: On 'RuPaul's Drag Race: Global All Stars', Nehellenia shared a deeply emotional moment after winning the magazine 'Quick Drag' as the cover queen. She talked about how her father first discovered her drag life. Nehellenia revealed that her father had always disapproved of her love for dance. Despite this, her mother secretly enrolled her in dance classes, supporting her passion. When Nehellenia became a drag queen, her father didn’t know about it. Interestingly, Nehellenia’s first major drag performance took place at a club where her father worked as a security guard. To her surprise, instead of reacting with anger, her father approached her after the performance, gave her a kiss, and told her she looked the most beautiful that night.

This moment was incredibly touching for Nehellenia, as it marked a shift in her father's acceptance and support, making her almost cry with emotion as she recalled it with her fellow contestants. "Now my father is my best friend," he said. "Talking about my father is very hard sometimes, now that we are so close, for me, it's a dream," he added.

Nehellenia says her victory made other drags 'jealous'

Nehellenia shared that after her victory as the cover queen for 'Quick Drag' magazine, it sparked jealousy among other drag queens. She explained that some of her peers felt threatened by her success and didn't believe she had the potential to win. According to Nehellenia, her win made other queens insecure, and their envy was evident. She said it was clear that her achievement had caused a stir and made her competition feel overshadowed.
