Detox mentions Williams kicking a drag performer out of her studio audience, comparing herself to drag queens, and using the phrase 'no homo,' concluding that Williams is profiting off of the LGBTQI community but is no ally. Judge Michelle Visage added her two cents to the post, commenting a simple, clean, rad, and powerful "Yup."
All-Stars 2 winner Alaska also posted a screencap and link to an article titled 'Why is Wendy Williams Hosting the ‘Drag Race’ Viewing Party for VH1?' on her IG.
