The girls are fighting!
If you haven't watched the latest episode of RuPaul's Drag Race, stop reading here. If you have, boy do we have news for you.
In the most recent episode (Season 15, Episode 12), the queens competed in Wigloose: The Rusical. It was a practically perfect production, one of the best in Drag Race herstory if we're being honest. Not only was it well-written and well-performed but it was well-timed due to its subject matter around the criminalization of drag. And it was followed by a glove-themed runway. That was, in turn, followed by the typical critiques and lip sync with Salina EsTitties going home. But the performer has a few last words.
During the judges' critiques, most of the contestants got pretty positive commentary on their Main Stage looks. EsTitties was the anomaly.
"You know, I just have to face it," Ross Mathews said on the episode. "There's so much going on on the jumpsuit, I just realized you even had gloves on." RuPaul let out a hearty laugh at the comment. "But you know, maybe it would have been a more bold move to do some black with that and really service the gloves."
While we didn't get her response onscreen, Miss EsTitties has some thoughts.
Salina EsTitties drags Ross Mathews for 'Drag Race' critique
In a video that has been viewed more than one million times on Twitter, EsTitties gives her official response to Mathews.
"Ross Mathews," she said onstage at a viewing party for the show at Heart nightclub in West Hollywood. "You can eat my ass, ******." She punctuated the statement by flipping off the iPhone cameras from the crowd.
"What the fuck does he know about fashion," she continued later. "I should have been wearing a black bodysuit? Look at what the fuck you're wearing you sequined sweater jacket ass little bitch." Well then!
Salina EsTitties speaks out on her 'Drag Race' experience
EsTitties was quite vocal about her experience and her emotions during the club appearance.
"She made it to top six!" she said, seemingly on the verge of tears as the crowd cheered for her. "You know, it was so hard being there. I just did not feel celebrated, I did not feel seen. I had to make myself valuable to them so I did that by making all my sisters felt safe around me to share their stories." As EsTitties pointed out in the Untucked episode, she was who Loosey LaDuca turned to in her time of need to talk through what she was going to. And while that served as therapy for LaDuca, it was also good television that may not have been possible without her relationship.
"They kept me as far as they needed to and now we're going to watch Loosey fucking crack," she said. "I want to say because I did not feel celebrated there celebrating West Coast culture, representing my Latina-ness, to come here every week and watch the show and get messages from all you guys saying you see me, you see what I was trying to do on the runway, it means so much to me."
