Drag Race star Kandy Muse “removed” from upcoming tour
Kandy Muse has been “removed” from an upcoming tour in Australia. On 31 July, the RuPaul’s Drag Race star told her fans that ‘In the Dark’ – “the most successful Australian LGBTQIA+ event producers of the last decade” – has cut her from the tour due to “negative feedback”.
The news was met with condemnation from Kandy’s supporters and, in a follow-up tweet, she revealed that the company retaliated by blocking her on Instagram.
The incident compelled Mistress Isabelle Brooks to share her own grievances with ‘In the Dark’, telling fans that they ‘abruptly cancelled’ her tour with fellow season 15 alum Luxx Noir London “in the middle of the night without any notice or conversation with the talent or our management”.
Describing the company as “a collection of clowns who are playing with people’s livelihoods, time and money,” Mistress said she and Luxx were left “clueless” to deal with “countless fans” who were under the impression that they cancelled their own tour. “Their poor decision making also made us block off weeks in our calendar with lead to us missing out on thousands of dollars of work, and turning down other opportunities,” she wrote. “Truthfully to me money is not the main priority or the focal point of what upset me with this situation.
