An Anonymous insider who claimed to have worked for World of Wonder, the production company behind RuPaul’s Drag Race, has revealed some of the show’s behind-the-scenes secrets on Reddit. Although the source of the claims is unverified and should be taken with a pinch of salt, the Reddit account holder alleged to have been fired by World of Wonder after ten years of loyal service. According to the Reddit user, RuPaul ultimately has the final say in who gets eliminated from the competition, and the queen’s performances and the decisions of other producers may also influence her decision.
The Reddit user also revealed some insider knowledge on various Drag Race seasons, including season 15, which was allegedly supposed to eliminate Anetra, but Ru intervened to keep her in the competition. The account holder also alleged that some queens on seasons 14 and 15 were scouted rather than going through the usual audition process.
The Reddit user also made some claims about the show’s All-Star seasons. According to the user, the jury twist in All Stars 3 was rigged to allow Trixie Mattel to win, while Alyssa Edwards is reportedly returning for Global All Stars. The Reddit user also claimed that a second season of All Winners is in the works, with Bianca and Bob reportedly being considered for the season.
The insider also claimed that some queens were “set up to fail” in their respective seasons, while some queens, such as Jinkx Monsoon and Violet Chachki, were allegedly pushed to become winners by the production. The Reddit user also revealed that Tyra Sanchez, Sharon Needles, and Sherry Pie are currently banned from returning to the show.
Overall, while the claims made by the Reddit user should be taken with a grain of salt, they provide some intriguing insights into the world of Drag Race behind the scenes. The show has always been surrounded by rumors of behind-the-scenes drama, and this latest revelation is unlikely to put those rumors to rest.
