In 2016 she Ru-turned for the legendary second season of Drag Race All Stars, and in the years since, she has stayed booked and busy, performing in clubs around the world… including a brief stint with Madonna earlier this year!Coming out: This past August she made headlines at the DNC— no,not the Democratic National Convention, but Drag Night Chicago, which was a “voter registration kiki” thrown by the DRAG PAC.

Detox co-hosted the event with her DWV girl group sister, Willam. During the live show, the two performed the DWV favorite, “Chow Down (at Chick-fil-A),” a parody of the hit Wilson Phillips’ song, “Hold On.”In the original “Chow Down” track, Detox can be heard in the background proclaiming she’s “a top” before the chorus kicks in.

But when she performed at the DNC, she changed the line to… “I’m trans now!”She confirmed the news in a comment on the viral video clip, writing: “Cat’s outta the bag!”#detox #willam #dragrace #drag #rupaulsdragrace #chowdown #chickfila #chicago #metro #willambelli #dwv @The Only Detox Detox joins the ever growing list of Drag Race queens who have come out as trans, which this year alone includes Season 15’s Amethyst and Season 16’s Amanda Tori Meating. She later reposted an Instagram story by Chicago drag queen and DJ, Miss Toto, who captured the moment Detox made her announcement.
