Protect queer piss jars.
Youre in good company, becauseSasha Colbytold meshe peed on the season 15 stage.
Did you have a piss cup on set?
No….Lexi Lovewas struggling for her life during the Monopulence runway.
Guys, Ive got to pee!
Yall I really have to pee!
She almost peed, literally.
That is so mother of her.
Lets move on to your relationship withHormona Lisa.
She said inour exit interviewthat you didnt have the best relationship, and that youre only acquaintances.
Why did you have such a negative reaction to her?
Everything I do is heightened, especially on TV, to a magnitude that I find entertaining.
Everybody thinks I actually hate people.
Its never that, its more that Im having fun.
Are we best of friends?
No, but were cool!
This week, you were eliminated on the Betsey Johnson design challenge.
Do you think you deserved to be in the bottom with Lydia?
Who else shouldve been in the bottom?
I looked like Boo Boo the Fool.
My outfit was trash, it was hideous, it was garbage.
It was the ugliest outfit.
The whole episode I was like, Im going home.
Your lip-sync kiss with Lydia will go down as one of the all-time greats.
The song kind of permits it.
It was a gut instinct.
What moment did you know she was on board?
We locked eyes and saw the vibe.
Its the last verse!
You just feel it.
What did that moment feel like?
I dont remember because I was a couple of House of Love [cocktails] in.
I knew I was going home.
I was like, Im going to have fun today, for me.
Im not going to eat today because I want this House of Love to hit.
Honestly, I dont remember the lip-sync.
I remember the kiss, walking off stage, and my exit line.
Were you surprised that the kiss didnt save you?
Once it was me and Lydia, I did not want to stay at all.
I knew how bad Lydia wanted it, and Id rather have her stay than me.
However, if it was me and Onya in the bottom?
Baby, Im bucking!
Even if I did win, I would have to find a way [to save Lydia].
Id have to BenDeLaCreme myself.
You wouldve quit if you won the lip-sync?
I wouldnt be able to send Lydia home.
I’d find a way to swap.
Youve teased the relationship with Lydia for a while, on and off the show.
When did it start, and who made the first move on set?
Lydia made the first move on set, down.
She loves to act like shes so shy.
Now were officially together.
I didnt know it was moving that fast until I was watching the season.
We were already in it on episode 1.
Some fans suspect that the relationship is fake.
How do you respond to that?
It was the opposite.
I wasnt even thinking about it.
I didnt even care if the cameras were catching it.
We werent likeVanjie [and Brooke], making out in front of the cameras to play it up.
It was a real relationship.
You dont see it as much in the season, like, theyredating.
How does Zelda Kollins fit into this equation?
Yeah, thats her ex that is also her drag daughter, I believe.
Theyre not still together?
Youre not lying to me, Kori King?
You and Lydia are officially together?
I was going to say hand to God.
Im happy for the two of you.
This is such a sweet development!
You didnt ask if I was dating Hormona.
Are you dating Hormona?
I was just mad that you didnt ask.
[Laughs]
Where are the orange shoes RuPaul hated?
Oh, I still have them.
Youre thinking about marriage and moving to Pittsburgh?
Yeah, Im that girl.
What else is next for you?
MyYouTube channel, ensure to follow me.
Im posting every single week!
Thats where youll get the good behind-the-scenes tea.
