Michelle Visage has jumped to RuPaul’s defence following recent Drag Race UK backlash. On the latest episode of the British spin-off, the Emmy-winning host criticised contestants Tia Kofi and Joe Black for their runway looks, telling them that he “came all the way across the pond” and expects “more” at this stage from their aesthetic. “Is that asking for too much?
I don’t think so. It’s the biggest stage for drag in the world. This is the Eurovision of drag,” he said, shortly after hitting out at Joe for her ensemble in the RuRuvision challenge, which was from… H&M.
The scene proved to be one of the most instantly iconic moments in herstory, with RuPaul’s “I don’t want to see any fucking H&M” line spawning countless memes on social media.
