“It’s not funny.
Make fun of something else.
Make fun of me being mean toJinkx [Monsoonon season 5].
Let’s try something, go down another alley.
But, if you feel the need to have to make a joke, then make it.
I’m not going to see it, but make it.”
She stresses that, in some instances, the jokes are okay.
“Especially in the morning, at the bus stop.”
“I knew Katya, and Katya had asked about the joke,” Roxxxy recalls.
“Make a joke.
I know it’s not coming from ill intent.
“It just hit me.
Not feeling wanted and not being good enough.
I just feel like my mom never wanted me.
It just hurts that I was left, nobody cared.”

We get to choose the people that we’re around.
You know what I’m saying?
I am your family.
We are a family here.
I love you.”
And yet, it’s Roxxxy’s progression through the art form that might have fans gagging the hardest.
“[I was] always scared to get ugly because that wasnt what I knew drag to be.
Youre going to remember this moment.
Ugly, very…. Bloody.
