Drag Race alumni Stacy Layne Matthews has announced that “her last show was [her] last” and that she is stepping away from drag, after she let her “mind and body get the best” of her.
In a full statement Matthews posted to Instagram: “I’ve disappointed too many people. I let my mind and body get the best of me.
I let fear and anxiety take over my life. “I have given myself a reputation that I never had planned. I thought I was stronger than I am.
I put on a smile for a long time. I took care of everyone else over the years and lost myself in the process. And in the end I felt the bitter side of generosity. “I let my health both physical and mental, get out of hand.
