Amanda Tori Meating has spoken out about her much-talked about exit from Drag Race season 16 and how her “inner spirit of c**t” took over when interacting with Plane Jane.
In the latest episode of Drag Race, the queens performed girl group remixes to songs from RuPaul’s album Black Butta, before sashaying down the runway in pussycat wigs.
Going into the runway, Amanda told Entertainment Weekly that she thought she was “winning this episode. I was like, this is my first win … I felt like I was murdering it completely — until the runway.” Despite Michelle Visage stating that her performance was “top-notch”, Amanda found herself in the bottom two with Q, who received strong critiques for her look. “I felt like it was because they didn’t like my runway.
They had some comments about my padding and my hair getting in my face. So, nit-picky things. The finer details,” she explained.
