The tea is being spilled ahead of the release of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 10 – and it’s scalding hot.
The tenth edition of All Stars is set to premiere on 9 May and yet we are already hearing about all the drama. Seriously, ALL the drama.
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly the cast of All Stars 10, a record-breaking 18 queens, dished on everything from the new ‘tournament’ format twist to makeover challenges and more.
For the first time the queens will be split inti three brackets. The ‘pink’ bracket is comprised of Jorgeous, Kerri Colby, Lydia B. Kollins, Mistress Isabelle Brooks, Nicole Paige Brooks and Tina Burner.
The ‘purple’ group consists of Acid Betty, Alyssa Hunter, Cynthia Lee Fontaine, Daya Betty, Denali and Ginger Minj. Meanwhile, the ‘orange’ team is made up of Aja, Bosco, Deja Skye, Irene the Alien, Olivia Lux and Phoenix.
Given the large number queens and the new format, the cast were asked about how that impacted any drama between cast members.
Lydia told EW that the drama has been “manufactured by a lot of the queens themselves but in a very juice and tantalising…,” evoking loud responses from the rest of the cast some encouraging Lydia to keep dishing on who she meant.
Continuing that she “wants to keep it fun” and avoid “spoiler territory,” Lydia clarified, when prompted, if she meant anyone not present.
Due to the California wild fires earlier this year when the interview was recorded, Aja, Tina Burner and Nicole Paige Brooke were interviewed separately as a trio from the rest of the cast.
“Absolutely,” Lydia responded before teasing more of the drama. “It’s Nicole Paige Brooks and she knows what she did.”
Jorgeous then chimed in that “Nicole Paige Brooks was letting me have it the whole entire season.” And Mistress Isabelle Brooks described All Stars 10 as “Nicole Paige Brooks vs. the World.”
She continued: “She got into it with me, Jorgeous, Kerri [Colby], RuPaul, Michelle, with herself. Nicole was fighting demons. That woman is unwell.”
The drama “translates beyond brackets” Mistress went on to say indicating drama between Nicole and Phoenix.
The interview then cuts to the interview with Nicole, Aja and Tina where Nicole says there’s “malicious gay f*****ry coming my way,” and maintaining “I think I handled it really well,” which Tina agrees with.
Throwing shade back, Nicole said “some people have to be dramatic to get attention. I don’t really need to do that, I just stand there and get all the eyes on me.”
Phoenix then said she knew putting Mistress and Nicole in the same group would provide “great TV.” Of her relationship with Nicole, her drag mother, Phoenix said “Sometimes with friendships, you grow apart. People change and they evolve.” She also said “we are getting better” after having fallen out.
However, Mistress then teased the drama further without revealing any details eliciting a “period” from Kerri Colby.
Joining Mama Ru, Michelle Visage, Jamal Sims, Ross Matthews, Carson Kressley, and Ts Madison will be a bevy of dazzling guest judges.
Among those teased so far are Wicked stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, as well as Chappell Roan.
RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 10 will be available to stream on Paramount+ in the US and WOW Presents Plus internationally from 9 May.
