The joke wasn't funny the first time, and it's not funny now. Of all the stuff that happens every single season (Snatch game, the -insert random name here- ball, the library, the puppets, the music video), this has to be the most tired. The only one that really connected with me at all was Pearl revealing in a few vague statements that she was abused in some fashion as a child and that her young years were the worst of her life.Īside from this I find the whole joke of them having a single tic tac for lunch is old. I feel like a lot of the stories are overhyped or pushed a bit far. Honestly I was never a fan of the lunch segments for the finalists. We don't get to see a whole lot of what's going on with the prep work for this, as it's spliced in between the 'lunch with Ru' pieces. The show has invited the beautiful Candis Cayne on to do the choreography for the ladies. The kicker - whoever goes home in this episode will be removed completely from the video's final form. And here I was hoping that 'Fly Tonight' would be the video and they would bring in Frankmusik for the shoot. They are going to be recording the official video for Ru's track 'Born Naked', which has been featured pretty much zero times throughout the season. Ru tells them all that the final challenge is - surprise! - a music video. I really feel like of all the eliminations the ones with Kennedy in the bottom were the most shocking because she's still here. I mean I expected Kennedy to be emotionless, but the other girls, Violet especially, had grown close to her in the past weeks. It was weird to see that the only one who cared was Ginger.

The fanbase was drawn to me because of my horrible self-esteem, it felt like it was for all the wrong reasons.” When the show aired, I struggled acclimating. “I don’t recognise that person, and I feel very bad for that person. “Today, when I look back at that documented time of my life, I can’t explain or describe to you what watching that kind of version of yourself is like. “My neurosis led me to believe that everyone on set was against me, so the natural thing for me to do was dissociate and withdraw,” he continued. However, when he got onto the show, he couldn’t “take off the self-hating, anti-social glasses” that he saw the world through. He said this was the part of his life where he felt most happy, which led to him applying for the seventh season of RuPaul’s Drag Race. Years later, after bed-hopping and escorting around Chicago, Pearl finally received his cosmetology license and moved to Illinois, where he found a “steady” job and apartment, which then led to a career in drag. I’ve always had very non-traditional ideas about how life is meant to be lived, which caused me to seek out mysterious and odd adventures and eventually I found myself escorting.”

“After graduating, I lived with a couple other guys. “I was drinking and using multiple times a week,” he said. When Pearl was in his 20s, he moved out of his mother’s house and pursued a career in hair, but then his drug abuse “escalated”. Pearl further explained that due to the amount of drugs he consumed, weeks would go by where he couldn’t remember what happened, which made him question his “self and worth”. We had a deeply bizarre relationship where he was deeply in love with me and I hated him and the whole world, and I was disassociating with everything that I knew.” “This is the very first time I have ever actually said that out loud. “For the rest of my life, if I ever revisited these memories deep in my subconscious, I always skated around the facts, which are that I was essentially drugged and raped on a regular basis for most of my teen years. “He was a bipolar narcissist with lots of family money and free time on his hands, which mostly we spent together doing very hard drugs,” he revealed. In the 12-minute clip, titled ‘My Past’, Pearl explained that he has felt “lost for a very long time” due to events that occurred during his childhood.įrom a young age, he was acting out and at 14-years-old, he became involved in a “tumultuous relationship” with a mentally unstable man in his 30s.

Drag Race finalist Pearl has posted an emotional video in which he opens up about his past and his experiences with “sexual abuse and trauma”.
