Exclusive: Drag Race Philippines star Turing addresses her main stage incident
Turing says her body “shut down” on the latest episode of Drag Race Philippines. For their fourth maxi-challenge, the nine remaining contestants paid homage to the female icons of Original Filipino Music (OPM) in their first-ever Rusical.
While Turing cemented her status as a frontrunner for the crown in the previous episode as she demolished the “Pop Off Ate” girl group performance, the star received harsh critiques from the panel for her tribute to Sharon Cuneta and her runway; with KaladKaren saying she looked like a “godmother at a wedding”.
From one body-positive queen to another, Jiggly Caliente also commented on how Turing’s dress didn’t “hug” her body or “compliment” her shape.
Shortly after, Turing almost fainted on the main stage and had to be escorted to a chair by a member of production, with Vinãs Deluxe jokingly stating in her confessional that she did so for “airtime”.
