RuPaul's Drag Race season 17 Pork Chop queen Lucky Starzzz recently sat down with Entertainment Weekly to discuss her shocking exit, and also sat down to clarify her complex relationship with Drag Race alum Nina Bonina Brown.
Here's an excerpt from her interview:
I was her sort-of drag daughter. I always saw her as my drag mom and mentor, but things changed when I got cast. We’ve had our ups and down. When I auditioned, we weren’t talking. She helped with my audition tape, but when the audition period started, we weren’t talking, so I wasn’t going to ask her, ‘Hey, help me with the audition?’ She was a support system when we started talking again. When I finally got the final call, she was supposed to help me prepare, but she kind of didn’t, and I was mad…. I tried to reach out to her, but it’s like, why am I reaching out to you about your problem? It was just a bunch of weird, petty, dumb stuff. I didn’t have time for that. I went, filmed, came back, I called her again, but I got so busy. Eventually, she unfollowed me, it was like a whole mess that didn’t have to be so messy. I spoke to her like, three days ago, actually, after months of not talking. I just want to be cordial. We’re cordial, I think. I hope. I don’t mind, though, I’m not sitting here sobbing about it. It is what it is! I still have a lot of respect for her and respect for her art. I’m always going to be a fan. But, I don’t know, drag daughter/mother? I consider myself to be her drag abortion. I say that in a fun way!
Nina also opened up about her relationship with Lucky as well, which you can watch that video below...
