Roxxxy Andrews has officially left the Werk Room — for good. The beloved RuPaul’s Drag Race star, who served fierce glam across three seasons, made it clear: she’s retiring from the All Stars circus. In a recent post that lit up social media, Roxxxy gave a firm “Never” when asked if she’d return for another shot at the crown. “I’m forever grateful for every moment on the show and everything I got! I got the BEST FANS!” she posted. “But my time as a contestant is over.”
If anyone’s earned the right to hang up their heels with pride, it’s Roxxxy. From her dramatic debut on Season 5 to her charisma-soaked returns in All Stars 2 and the charity-centric All Stars 9, the Florida queen made the finale every single time. That’s a track record even RuPaul has to respect. But three times in the ring with no crown to show for it? Baby, that’s enough sequins for one lifetime.
A Sisterhood in Mourning (and Rage)
Drag Race sisters—and fans—weren’t shy about sharing their heartbreak. Detox, Roxxxy’s bestie and fellow alum from both Season 5 and All Stars 2, minced no words: “NOOOOOOOOOOPE. The itch is gone. Playin’ in my girl [Roxxxy]’s face.” For many in the Drag Race family, Roxxxy’s placement as runner-up in AS9 was the final straw, confirming what some have long suspected: talent alone doesn’t guarantee a crown.
Sure, queens like Ginger Minj are back for a fourth go on the currently airing All Stars 10. Jujubee and Alexis Mateo have racked up four seasons each, and Eureka! has trotted across multiple Drag Race spin-offs like it’s her full-time job. But Roxxxy’s stepping away with her legacy intact and her dignity untouched — a boss move if ever there was one.
A Statement Beyond Drag
Roxxxy’s departure from Drag Race hits different in today’s climate. As drag culture faces political attacks and anti-LGBTQ rhetoric continues to surge, her graceful exit feels like a quiet protest. She’s not bowing out in defeat—she’s claiming her power, her legacy, and her peace. No queen should have to keep competing to prove her worth. And in the eyes of the queer community, Roxxxy has already won.
Her decision is a reminder that queer entertainers aren’t just performing—they’re navigating a system that can reward spectacle over substance. Roxxxy’s journey is a reflection of both the power and the limits of visibility. “I loved making television,” she wrote. That love isn’t ending, but the format might be.
So while AS10 marches on, Roxxxy’s heels stay hung—glittery, iconic, and not walking into another workroom ever again. And honestly? That’s fierce.
