[–]closest 42ポイント43ポイント  (9子コメント)

Uh no, henny. Obviously Venus "$100,000 to look like Madonna" D-Lite showed up for her latest gig on Skin Wars. Making this her FOURTH appearance on a reality TV. (Drag Race, Botched, My Strange Addiction, and now Skin Wars.) Better believe she's getting them checks now that she #isMadonna.

[–]RaleighRedd 4ポイント5ポイント  (2子コメント)

I really want to know why she wasn't in the music video for "Bitch I'm Madonna".

[–]closest 15ポイント16ポイント  (1子コメント)

She was in the vid, henny. You just couldn't tell the difference between Madonna and Venus because she #ISMadonna.

Here she is in the video for "Bitch, I'm Madonna."

You must have missed that she's on the single cover too.

Definite proof she's in the video and a special guest star right up there with Pop's biggest divas. Why? She is the self proclaimed and disputed #1 Madonna impersonator because she #ISMadonna.

Hahahaha omg so Pandora throws some shade about how Pearl has been missing events/being late/whatever and people are like "OMG SHES SO BITTER AND HORRIBLE AND I HATE HER." Then Raja writes a paragraph about the same thing and people are like "YEAH RAJA! YOU GO HUNTYYYY! YOU ALWAYS KEEP IT REAL AND SPILL DAT T MAWWMA YASSSS TOOTS GAWD!!!" Am I missing something here, guys?

[–]bryttanybeeMom's gold queef 81ポイント82ポイント  (5子コメント)

It's cause it's Pandora, honestly. Not a lot of people really seem to like her that much (if at all) anymore.

[–]SaltandVinegarAddict 43ポイント44ポイント  (2子コメント)

I feel the drag aesthetic has a lot of pull. Pandora's feels budget. Raja's feels mysterious and expensive, so their opinions are also that.

Idk I mean this was Raja trying to give constructive criticism and Pandora's instagram post was her just being negative. There is a difference in their words to Pearl.

[–]zomgenieBe like the Squirrel! Gurl! 18ポイント19ポイント  (4子コメント)

Lets be honest neither post was for Pearl. It was to pander a crowd.

[–]whatburnsnevereturnsNot on tonight 8ポイント9ポイント  (3子コメント)

People saying Raja was giving constructive criticism. That rant was far from constructive. I agree with her to a degree though, but this would have been much better as a toned down private message.

[–]seeyoshirunOh my sweet gherkins! 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

I agree with you. Raja comes off as a little pious here, when the reality is we don't know the situation or exactly why Pearl hasn't been showing up to gigs. I've seen lots of speculation in here about drinking/drug use, but even if that were the case it wouldn't be the whole picture. And it might not even be the case; there are a myriad of reasons why she might be a no-show to things.

I don't think Pearl is beyond reproach here, but I sincerely doubt a comment like Raja's is going to achieve anything other than making Raja seem judgmental.

[–]Zobert1023 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

Private messages are for friends, a rant's for people not in your posse. It's about professionalism. I am not a Madonna fan (don't judge) and think she had 2 good albums, but that bitch goes on with the show even if she can barely talk, even if she's injured...Hell Dave Grohl just broke his leg and played out the show with the doctor fixing it.

Come on now...

She deleted it. But it was a picture of a restaurant (?) called "The Pearl" and the caption said something along the lines of "I guess that means you can show up when you feel like it".

I understand what Raja is saying, and I do hope for Pearl's sake that she really is missing gigs because she isn't feeling well. Obviously, I don't want her to be ill, but I want that excuse to be the truth. I was so completely elated that I was going to get the meet her on the Fourth of July in Columbus, but just yesterday the club informed me that she cancelled all upcoming performances for personal issues. I do hope she's ok, but like I said I hope that's the real reason.

[–]Huruhara01#1 Shiina Ringo fan 36ポイント37ポイント  (0子コメント)

If she's cancelling all upcoming performances things may actually be quite serious. Hope she's okay.

If she is getting help it is a good thing but damn Raja needs to back off. Call her and offer help if you have been there.. Hate people who kick when you are down.

I hope Pearl doesn't read this thread, it is vicious in here. I actually find it sickening, and not in a good way. Pearl is most likely going through serious issues right now. It's gross how people get off on judging others so harshly.

[–]Great_Pale_LoboPearl: Gurning For The Gods 19ポイント20ポイント  (0子コメント)

you're right but it's not surprising. I can imagine everyone in this thread furiously jerking off in glee. I don't care if Raja says whatever she wants to say but maybe do it privately? Someone of her age and ~esperience~ shouldn't be so fucking vaguebookish and passive aggressive about it - it just gives other people an excuse to go after someone without even knowing what's up.

[–]danileighFuck you, Pete! 9ポイント10ポイント  (0子コメント)

[–]PCP1120 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yeah she did :/ I'm surprised the club hasn't notified people if they got their meet and greet tickets already or anything. I hope she's ok as well. She's not very active on social media so it's not like we can ask what's wrong and if she's ok. Plus, that's personal info anyway so she probably wouldn't feel like sharing. Hopefully she heals up soon

[–]LockowandtHow is Jiggly Caliente tho? 46ポイント47ポイント  (1子コメント)

Pearl is a party queen who became known through social media and is relatively unexperienced with events like this. That being said, Raja is right when she says Pearl is at risk of having a short career. She needs to be careful with the other queens. They have a much bigger and respected reputation than her in the business world of drag, she doesn't want to be tarnishing hers before she even has one.

[–]unluckyLUNEI have got a yeast infection of LIFE. 12ポイント13ポイント  (0子コメント)

I agree and I'm sure that Raja knows better than anyone, given her start as a club kid in LA. It comes off to me as speaking from life experience rather than trying to be shady.

[–]HelenEarth 93ポイント94ポイント  (30子コメント)

As someone who was rolling her eyes at all of the excuses made for Pearl, I really appreciate Raja's realist sensibility. It's beyond frustrating when someone's laziness and entitlement affects others, especially in a 'professional' setting.

[–]Protanope 68ポイント69ポイント  (26子コメント)

I think it's appalling how many excuses are made for her. If anything, it really shows how die hard her fans are, no matter what she does and how badly and unprofessionally she does it.

One time issue? No big deal. Multiple issues? You got yourself a shitshow brewing. I love how people think that Raja should have "talked to Pearl about it privately" like this isn't something that other people can already see happening. Good on Raja for calling her out.

[–]josiahpapayaI had a rough childhood okay, I wasn't watchin fuck'n batman 40ポイント41ポイント  (25子コメント)

This just goes to show you how quickly the HiveMind turns. During the actual season, long before the boy/girl challenge I was completely over Pearl.
I was over Miss Fame before that, but when they had their lip sync battle I had fingers crossed Fame would execute Pearl, even though deep down I knew she wouldn't.
If anyone expressed any dislike for Pearl on-season you were swamped with downvotes. I'm not surprised at all to hear this new information emerging about her having a terrible work ethic.
I mean, half her story arc was about how "I don't have to do anything and people just live for me, so I'm not used to all this criticism".

[–]Protanope 19ポイント20ポイント  (2子コメント)

I agree. I never hated Pearl, but I thought she was weak in all aspects of the competition except fashion, which IMO, just isn't enough when you're not even the most fashionable person on your season. The show gave her such a good edit. I remember that in the Shakesqueer challenge, she did horribly, but they edited it to make her seem "funny", and everyone ate that shit up.

[–]BigRosieGreenbaumI love pizza, I got shot by Yolanda. 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

Same here. I like Pearl well enough. I was thrilled when she and Trixie won the conjoined twins challenge, which is one of my favorite challenges ever, so there's that. I loved her as Big Ang. Other than that - you know, I like her okay.

Regarding this whole "Raja says she's a slacker/No, she's really got something wrong" argument, here's where I think I fall upon it - I know Pearl's die hard fans would only like to think the best about her. However, who would know a queen better than one of her fellow queens? These RPDR girls all know each other - some before the show, but many more after the show. My guess is that Raja would have a fair idea of why Pearl missed or cancelled all those dates better than her fans would. I'm not saying that's a definitive answer - I'm just saying that logically, who might know better what's going on - a fellow queen, or a love-struck 19 year old sitting behind their computer screen?

I do hope Pearl's okay, whether it's illness or something else. I wouldn't wish anything bad for her. But if it's a simple case of her needing to get her shit together and make something of her career, then I hope that happens for her. I'd hate to see her blow it.

[–]josiahpapayaI had a rough childhood okay, I wasn't watchin fuck'n batman 12ポイント13ポイント  (0子コメント)

I thought the masterqueef theater debacle was my one free pass for her. I thought there was something kind of endearing about her character development, since others in that challenge were basically just doing cold-reads while her character was at least half-realized.
She was alright in Tan with U, but not even close to the best and she was great in the DESPYs, but other than that she wasn't anywhere even close to the top, ever for me.
By the time it got to the final 5 /6 it was clear she was the weakest one left but everyone was just so consumed with hating Kennedy and waiting for Katya's inevitable departure.
One of my top 5 favorite comments on Reddit from the On Season was when after Pearl's 2nd lip sync someone said
"Well at least now we know that Pearl wasn't mystically channeling Debby Harry" (since both lip syncs were exactly the same and equally awful).

[–]HelenEarth 30ポイント31ポイント  (21子コメント)

I cringed hard and was so embarrassed when she talked back to Ru, definitely reacted the same way Max did. Yikes. I'm surprised she made it to the top three after that fiasco.

[–]josiahpapayaI had a rough childhood okay, I wasn't watchin fuck'n batman 20ポイント21ポイント  (19子コメント)

Well, according to Rupaul, she only got kept around cause Ru knew people would think he was a hot guy and good for ratings.

Between this, Phi Phi's rant about Pearl charging for selfies, and Pandora's tweet, I get the feeling that Pearl isn't very popular amongst other drag queens. I understand that they are frustrated with her, but I don't know if complaining about it to the public on social media is a good idea.

Why didn't Raja send this to her in a message if she wanted to give Pearl advice? Sharing it with the public just seems like shit-stirring.

Sometimes you need to be called out publicly to actually acknowledge that you may have an issue.

Idk I guess it depends on how convinced Pearl is that she was okay to skip. It might just piss her off. If she was really just wasted and that's why she didn't go, and alcohol is a problem for her, it might still take more than a few people publicly calling her out to get her to realise it.

I get the feeling that this isn't exactly coming from a place of wanting to help pearl either tbh

I really adore pearl and love her as a performer and person but its evident that she has a drinking/drug issue. I haven't seen a single video post season 7 where she isn't either high or drunk. There are videos of her falling down during performances and slurring on stage until someone politely takes her off. Its going to be really hard for her to continue to show up for all of the gigs she's being booked for, traveling across the world if she parties like that every time she does a show. Its not surprising that the queens who are absolutey slaying the game right now are sober. Its hard to travel to a new country every week and stay committed and lucid if drinking and drugs are involved.

I feel for her. I have intense anxiety and I love to unwind with whatever I can get my hands on if it gets really bad. I can't imagine how she's feeling with all of this. It's incredibly hard to keep your cool with this much hype surrounding you when you know you can't normally handle it.

If he's high and drunk, I wanna have what he's having because it's ultra high quality, that it doesn't even show. Of course he might have drunk some or several shots: he is in a bar, or maybe not, but I don't see any falling or visible high behavior as you mention. If you have a video to share, please do to discuss, because baseless comments are making shit stirrers happy.

I don't know how to feel about it; part of me thinks she might have legitimate reasons to miss dates (I do believe she hit her head, regarding Pride & her AA dates), but part of me thinks there might be other issues. Either way, this ridiculous whiplash with how people here love a queen then turn on them at the slightest hint of anything negative about them is ridiculous.

People forget that queens are people too. Shit happens. Yes, there are other queens that make every. single. gig. They are fucking amazing, no one is denying that. Like shit, half the time I can barely get out of bed. We don't know what goes on in these people's lives. She could be going through something serious. If you don't like her, don't support her. But sitting behind a keyboard pretending to know the ins and outs of a performer's life... that ain't it. This subreddit has just been very judgmental these last 6 months.

The one time I can agree with Raja. Professionalism is important and once it spreads around that you're lacking it....well....good luck. Pearl really doesn't seem to popular with a lot of the Drag Race girls. Maybe they question what her insta-popularity is based on.

Pearl is rinsing every moment of her limelight, but that will be a major problem. Pearl doesn't see us as an audience, she sees us as a market and would rather our money than our presence. She's made that clear on one of JDF's Periscope sessions when she said 'Oh I like this...Can you charge people?' then when JDF replied she said 'oh...' and negated the whole thing. She just doesn't care, I'm sorry I used to love Pearl but I just don't like it.

During season 4 I LOOOOVED Willam. I still do, I love his content and his presence on the internet. But, Im scared to meet Willam. Ive had many opportunities to but I'm extremely intimidated by him, Sharon too. Some queens I can appreciate but really don't want to meet.

I don't really put Pearl and Willam in the same category because Willam does things to be funny while Pearl just wants money.

As someone who wants ALL the queens to do well and be successful, I hope Michelle gives Pearl a talking to if she does Battle of the Seasons, Pearl will be ten times busier than now. Its known Michelle talks to the queens and tells them that it is a job they're taking on. I just hope that Pearl can pull through the rough barrier that is the beginning of a budding career and not go down a bad path because of her age. I'm rooting for her, however, I agree with Raja.

I think we should all stop trying to guess what is happening. Just watched Boomer Banks periscope and Pearl was out at Westgay last night so he's obviously not ill anymore but there could be a million other things going on that we have no idea about.

Edit: he also just posted a picture on Instagram in drag, looking alive and well. Maybe he just has to stay in New York for some reason.

[–]escapetheoryI do not jump for joy, I frolic in doubt. 12ポイント13ポイント  (5子コメント)

I'm by no means a Pearl stans and I completely understand why Raja feels that calling her out is the correct course of action, but it's important to remember that we have no idea what is happening in Pearl's personal life. Yes her absenteeism could be down to laziness or entitlement, but what have we got to lose by giving her the benefit of the doubt? If she's going through some rough shit, the last thing she needs is a gross circle jerk of hate going on.

[–]madisonfw 6ポイント7ポイント  (4子コメント)

"We" don't need to give Pearl the "benefit of the doubt" because "we" have almost no impact on her work life! All that matters is how the bookers/promoters respond. If Pearl gets a reputation as being unreliable, she'll stop getting bookings and that's what will impact her life, not anything said here on Reddit! I believe that is what Raja was trying to give Pearl a "wake up call" on - that you have to be a professional if you want to keep working! But maybe Pearl doesn't really want the life of a working drag queen? That would be fine, but don't accept bookings if you aren't willing/able to meet those commitments.

[–]escapetheoryI do not jump for joy, I frolic in doubt. 5ポイント6ポイント  (3子コメント)

I agree we don't have much of an impact on her life, but seeing a thread full of 'GURL YOU SO LAZY' when we literally don't know what's happening behind closed doors is just gross. Like I said, I understand why Raja called her out, I was directing my comments towards some of the people in this thread who, I think it's fair to say, aren't looking to give pearl a 'wake up call'. As for bookings, c'mon now, it's very unlikely she accepted a booking knowing she wasn't able to make those commitments. I highly doubt she's reveling in the fact that she's letting down her fans.

As someone who has done pride in drag I can attest that it's brutal. Pearl freaked me out wearing all black in the heat.

Makes sense that she dehydrated and passed out.

Or she over hydrated and passed out. Who the hell knows lol

But you would be a really terrible person if it's the first.

Oof, drama. As a big Pearl fan I worry about her a lot. She has been working REALLY hard and nonstop since the show, and seems to cope with the pressure and stress with substances. This is all a recipe for disaster, topped with other queens seeming to really dislike her minus a select few. I do not want to watch a Pearl downward spiral and I really, really hope that's not what's happening here :(

[–]madisonfw 37ポイント38ポイント  (6子コメント)

Working REALLY hard and non-stop?!?!? Join the club honey - this is what in-demand drag queens do (see Bianca, Alaska, Jinx, etc)! They travel non-stop and they show up (mentally and physically) to their paying gigs, despite being "tired" or "sick". I'm not sure Pearl is cut out for this life....

Pearl’s had rough dates like that too. She just finished an Australian tour flew back the 27th and had 3 appearances the next day, she did the Logo parade float but after that is when she got sick. She also filled in when Raja couldn’t make it to a UK tour, she flew back and the next day was the finale party, then went back to Europe for a show and came back for a show on the 7th ,so it was 3 European flights for her in a week. They work hard and traveling can just affect people differently.

[–]Oddric 20ポイント21ポイント  (5子コメント)

Girl please. It's not the responsibility of other queens to help her out. This is a business. If she can't show up to gigs then she needs to stop taking gigs. If she wants to spend her time partying and doing drugs and what not, cool. She can stay in Chicago or LA or wherever and "perform" at local clubs a couple nights a week. But she shouldn't take money out of other people's hands and put shows in awkward positions because of her problems.

[–]qiaozhina 13ポイント14ポイント  (4子コメント)

[–]Oddric 10ポイント11ポイント  (3子コメント)

God you are being so dramatic. You're acting like Pearl gives a shit. She clearly doesn't. So why are you so wounded by this?

I don't remember who said it, but some queen said "There are drag queens, and then there are girls that dress up as drag queens." Which do you think Pearl is? Drag is about professionalism. Drag queens don't have bosses - they do their job and if they do it well, they get to keep doing it. Unfortunately, RPDR has changed this dynamic. A queen gets on the show and suddenly they're renowned and get bookings across the world. Clearly it's going to piss people off if they're shitting on this opportunity. Like Raja said, there are people who want that limelight too. It's not fair that Pearl gets it when she isn't working for it.

So you know what, yeah, I think it is perfectly fair for Raja (a professional) to throw some serious shade (a part of the job) at Pearl to try and get her to wake up.

But it doesn't really matter in the end. Either Pearl will snap out of it and start working, or people will stop booking her. I'm leaning towards the latter because people get tired of glorified crossdressers that can't entertain. (Especially if those crossdressers are pissing off the big dogs of the industry.) It's entirely up to Pearl, and no "being shit on by a Facebook post" is going to change that.

Not a Pearl stan but Raja seems to be sipping a little too much of her own koolaide. This whole "Facebook goon I'm going to tell it how it is" behavior is classless as fuck, how is anyone going to listen to you when you publicly embarrassed them? This happened with Adore with Raven and Delta, and I didn't like it then. The older queens need to privately speak to their new "sisters" like any family would do and help them. More like #pearl of petty

[–]Melkr_ 15ポイント16ポイント  (2子コメント)

They are being extra at her tbh. Plenty of queens cancel shit. If Pearl wasnt feeling well she has all the right to cancel. No one cares about your victim card of "ooh i was so sick but I was still there because i am sooo committed". That shit aint healthy, not something to be proud of. Theres a reason corporations do not allow you to put one foot in your work area if you are not feeling well.

Are you 100% sure though that Pearl really didn't get dehydrated and sick? I know I have a heat sickness thing where being out in sun and heat makes me vomit, pass out and get raging migraines. It started in my 30s after having kids.

So I am not going to be so quick to assume someone is faking it and call them out unless I know for a fact they were lying.

Interesting. If Pearl is being unprofessional, of course people should tell her so. It's her job, she made a commitment. But personally I'm not a fan of people airing their dirty laundry in public. She could have sent Pearl a PM, found out her phone number and called her. This is kinda wanky. It's entertaining though.

This was this kind of thing I was worried about with Pearl from the start. Too many of these NYC pretty girl queens think fame is just going to be selfie after selfie and free shoes/bags/clothes. It's a job! Pearl likes the attention and the self expression from drag (and is talented), but idk if she's a QUEEN, ya feel me? Maybe a countess?
