Exclusive: Violet Chachki reveals if she’ll ever return to Drag Race as a competitor
Drag Race winner Violet Chachki has revealed whether or not she would ever return to the show as a contestant in an exclusive interview with GAY TIMES.
The star emerged victorious from the US edition’s seventh season, finishing ahead of other finalists Ginger Minj and Pearl. Her career has since gone from strength to strength, with a solo show and podcast with Gottmik among her most recent successes.
Speaking to GAY TIMES as she covers the December 2022 issue of the magazine alongside Gottmik, Violet said: “I feel like a lot of people, like my previous managers or even like, naysayers, Drag Race fans or whatever it may be, sort of put you in a box as a look queen or untalented or whatever it may be, and so to have a successful solo touring show is definitely one of my proudest moments because it’s like, this is my goal, I did it.” Queens who have taken part in the franchise often experience vast amounts of online hate, regardless of where they placed on their season.
Violet explained that she has been “dealing with it a lot more than usual” recently and that how she handles it “changes every day”. “And some days I’m like, fuck those people,” she continued. “Like, they don’t know who I am.
