In a dazzling turn of events, Myki Meeks has snatched the crown on the latest season of RuPaul’s Drag Race, and she’s not just serving looks—she’s serving truth bombs aimed squarely at Florida’s own Ron DeSantis. This newly crowned queen isn’t holding back when it comes to calling out the ugly rhetoric that’s been hurled at the drag community by politicians who should know better.
“Why are you scared?” Meeks asks, pointing out that DeSantis and his ilk are terrified of the vibrant, unapologetic expression that drag embodies. After all, this is a queen who turned the tables on her critics, rising from the bottom of the pack to dominate the competition. And let’s be real, she did it without winning a single challenge for the first five episodes—talk about an underdog story!
As the first queen to win without a prior challenge victory, Meeks has become a beacon of hope for LGBTQ+ folks everywhere, especially in a political climate that seems hell-bent on erasing their existence. “Especially here in Florida, the political agenda is actively against us,” she says. “They are scared of us. Put on a wig, change your life.” And if that doesn’t scream empowerment, we don’t know what does.
But let’s not forget the real shade being thrown here: Meeks cheekily suggests that DeSantis, who has made a name for himself by attacking the drag community, might just have some skeletons in his closet. “He was so ugly and so terrible at it, we ran him out of the scene!” she quips, proving that when it comes to throwing shade, Meeks is a master.
Fans have been rallying behind Meeks since the cast announcement, and she’s grateful for the fierce support from her queer family. “This is the most iconic queer show in television history, okay?” she declares, acknowledging the power of her passionate fanbase. “Not too much on my lesbians!”
As she basks in the glory of her win, the buzz is already building for a potential All Winners season of Drag Race. “Any opportunity to be on the show again, I will take. I loved every second!” Meeks enthuses, ready to face off against the legends of the drag world. “It’s a little intimidating to go against queens like Sasha Colby, Bob the Drag Queen, but they’re up against Myki Meeks. That’s a beast they may not be familiar with!”
So, whether you’re a fan of the wigs, the makeup, or the fierce attitude, one thing is for sure: Myki Meeks is here to stay, and she’s ready to take on anyone who dares to challenge her reign. The crown looks good on her, and so does the fight for LGBTQ+ rights. Let’s see where this queen goes next!
