Drag Race queens Eureka, The Vixen, and Kandy Muse.

RuPaul starts out every episode of the Drag Race aftershow Untucked by saying, "Girl, if you aren’t watching Untucked, you’re only getting half the story" for good reason.
Untucked is the messier, more chaotic version of RuPaul’sDrag Race, where all of the best fights happen and some of the longest-lasting feuds were born.
The Emmy-winning spin-off is known for capturing real arguments and filthy reads that happen behind the scenes as the judges deliberate on the main stage. The queens stop being polite once Mama Ru is no longer watching, and things get really nasty, really quickly.
Scroll through to see the most legendary fights in Untucked history!
13. Salina EsTitties vs. Aura Mayari (All Stars 11)
With the new "bracket" rules for All Stars 11 leading to Survivor-esque alliances, Salina EsTitties was furious when Aura Mayari didn’t give her a point on the runway.
This led to an emotional fight between the two queens and even Silky Nutmeg Ganache got involved at one point when she started yelling before comically collapsing on the floor.
12. Jiggly Caliente vs. Lashauwn Beyond (Season 4)
In an early season of the show, Lashauwn Beyond called Jiggly Caliente out for using her inexperience with sewing as an excuse for why she wasn’t doing well in the competition.
Jiggly hit back by telling Lashauwn that her makeup looked bad and she should know better by now since the show was in its fourth season. Then the two started yelling at each other about who was making excuses for their personal failures, which resulted in the iconic phrase, "This isn't RuPaul's Best Friends Race!"
11. Aiden Zhane & Heidi N Closet vs. Everyone (Season 12)
Heidi N Closet SNAPPED! 😱 What’d you think of this moment? #drama #omg #rpdr #lgbtq #realitytv #dragqueen
On an episode of Untucked from season 12, Aiden Zhane got into a heated debate with the rest of the queens who were attacking her place in the competition.
In an infamous moment, Heidi N Closet had finally had enough, and she stood up and said, “F—k you” over and over again, while pointing at nearly every queen in the room.
10. Yvie Oddly vs. Vanessa Vanjie Mateo (Season 11)
Two queens ended up in a fight backstage during episode 7, when Yvie Oddly expressed anger that Vanessa Vanjie Mateo said she should go home.
The other queens in the room ended up hiding or walking away when Yvie and Vanessa’s argument turned into a screaming match.
9. The Vixen vs. Everyone (Season 10)
The Vixen came out swinging during Untucked when she felt betrayed by so many queens telling RuPaul that she should go home when asked on the runway.
“I was loyal to some disloyal bitches,” she said, before calling out the other queens for having tired pageant looks.
8. Morgan McMichaels vs. Mystique (Season 2)
Morgan McMichaels came after Mystique for running her mouth and being loud, going so far as to yell in her face and attempt to read Mystique for filth about her looks.
The whole thing quickly devolved into a screaming match that had other queens jumping in to find out what was going on and led to some iconic one-liners like, “Fix you mug!” and “Bitch, I am from Chicago!”
7. Serena ChaCha vs. Everyone (Season 5)
Jinkx Monsoon, Roxxxy Andrews, Alaska, Alyssa Edwards, Detox, and Coco Montrese were just some of the incredibly successful queens on season 5.
When Serena ChaCha was called out for not being as talented, the whole cast couldn’t stop laughing. When she tried to get the floor so she could defend herself, Alyssa told her to sit down and “shut the hell up," and things devolved from there with almost every queen reading Serena for filth.
She feels VERY attacked! #laganjaestraja #adoredelano #biancadelrio #rupaulsdragrace #rpdr #dragrace #dragqueen #drag #queen #untucked #lgbt #queer
Laganja Estranja managed to annoy just about every queen on the show with her overuse of phrases like “okurrrrrr” and “yasss gawd,” but things came to a head backstage when everyone confronted her for being fake.
Eventual season 6 winner Bianca Del Rio called her out for lying about her backstory and playing the victim. The whole incident led to a classic Drag Race meme, with clips of Laganja saying, "I feel very attacked right now," spreading far and wide on social media.
Coco Montrese and Alyssa Edwards already had tension because Coco took over Alyssa’s Miss Gay America title after she was stripped of her crown, but things got even more heated when they were on Drag Race season 5 together.
Coco and Jade Jolie were angry that Alyssa was always coming for them, so Jade went for the jugular when she made fun of Alyssa for supposedly having "back rolls."
After Eureka started an argument with The Vixen and then tried to walk off in the middle to have a cigarette, The Vixen called her out, and the argument turned explosive.
At the time, fans criticized Eureka for poking the bear and then playing the victim when The Vixen responded in anger.
Thoughts? Aquaria vs The Vixen #drag #dragqueen #dragqueens #rupaulsdragrace #rupaul #rugirl #rugirls #rupaulsdragraceseason10 #aquaria #thevixen #thevixenvsaquaria #dragracetea
As one of the most important fights in Drag Race history, The Vixen called out Aquaria for starting to cry during an argument that she helped instigate.
The fight started an important conversation outside of the show about racism amongst the fandom.
2. Kandy Muse vs. Tamisha Iman (Season 13)
During one of the most explosive episodes in Untucked history, Kandy Muse was angry that Tamisha Iman said she didn’t like her and called her out for being arrogant.
“You don’t know me from a motherf—king hole in the wall,” Kandy said as they both started yelling at each other. Things escalated further when Kandy said she wanted to leave because she was “going to smack the shit out of somebody.”
1. Mimi Imfurst vs. Everyone (All Stars 1)
This is simply perfect television. Every queen let Mimi Imfurst have it after an argument turned personal once outside work started being discussed amongst the queens.
Tammie Brown's antics, Raven's cuntiness, and Manila Luzon looking like a teletubby are just some of the highlights of this legendary fight.
Season 18 contestant Darlene Mitchell married her husband, Branden Marcus, over the weekend in a beautiful and campy ceremony attended by her fellow Drag Race queens.
Mitchell, who recently scored a spot in the top four in the currently airing season, posted about her wedding on social media.
"Anyways… it’s WEDDING DAY!!," she wrote. "TOP 4 AS A WEDDING GIFT WELL YES OF COURSE I DO THINK!"
Mitchell married her longtime partner Branden Marcus after dating for 10 years. The pair wore matching pinstripe suits — one in navy blue and the other in black — and danced together to Cyndi Lauper’s “Time After Time” in front of a large picture of Kermit and Miss Piggy getting married.
Her fellow season 18 competitors Nini Coco, Juicy Love Dion, Jane Don’t, Mia Starr, Vita VonTesse Starr, and Briar Blush were all in attendance, with some of them sharing video footage of the event on social media.
Don’t, who just sashayed away in a controversial elimination, posted a video of the queens dancing at the wedding on her Instagram Stories that have now been reshared all over social media.
Marcus announced that the happy couple had tied the knot by posting a sweet selfie on Instagram with the caption, “Married!”
The wedding comes more than a year after they got engaged and posted a photo in July 2024 of Marcus down on one knee, asking Mitchell to marry him.

Gawdland has made Drag Race herstory!
As the winner of RuPaul's Drag Race UK vs. The World season 3, Gawdland became the first Asian queen, the first queen from Thailand, and the first queen outside of the U.K. to snatch the crown on the hit series.
Once fans from across the globe watched her victory on this week's finale, social media erupted with congratulatory messages and queer joy celebrating the grand moment. Many even said she avenged the robbery and shocking elimination of Drag Race Thailand's Pangina Heals from season 1 of the popular show.
"I love my fans! They're really supportive. To see them loving on my drag, appreciating my drag... it's unbelievable. I feel like I'm the luckiest person in the world. My mentality going to compete was like, 'I want revenge for my mother!" Gawdland tells Out.
Although Gawdland is enjoying this moment as the reigning Queen of the Mothertucking World, the star has already joked on social media that she's ready to compete against other iconic champions on a potential RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars: All Winners season. (The last All Winners season, a special edition of All Stars, aired in 2022 and was won by Jinkx Monsoon.)
"If I get a call for the All Winners season, of course, why not?! I say yes to every opportunity in my life and it's going to be such a fun experience for me to compete against the icons and legends that I've looked up to."
There's so many talented winners all over the world to take on, but Gawdland hopes to see the notable winner of Drag Race season 7 return to the werkroom.
"Violet Chachki! Put this in the deadline. Gawdland wants to compete against Violet Chachki!"

The RuPaul's Drag Race winner has had quite a year since snatching the crown on season 17 by showing off her charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent as America's Next Drag Superstar.
The beloved queen is starting 2026 strong by joining the sickening lineup of RuPaul's Drag Race LIVE! in Las Vegas this spring and hosting the new talk show Hello Hello Hello on WOW Presents Plus.
In the new series, Nurve interviews the season 18 queens backstage as they spill all the tea on getting the call to compete on RuPaul's Drag Race.
"They had to get the hostess with the mostess! It's been a whirlwind, honestly. I haven't had a chance to sit down and celebrate all of the amazing things I've done. Regardless of what anyone thinks, I'm so happy and proud," Nurve tells PRIDE.
There'e no denying that Nurve has her hands full with plenty of exciting projects, but she originally had different plans to close out 2025 and ring in 2026.
The gorgeous queen was announced as Lola in the North American tour of Kinky Boots last July, but she eventually walked away from the show just before the tour kicked off in November.
Nurve has stayed tight-lipped as to why she parted ways with the Broadway production, but she's now shedding light on her decision to move on.
"It's unfortunate that I wasn't able to open as Lola or do the role. It had nothing to do with my talent or my behavior. Ultimately, we weren't aligning artistically. It was a better fit for them to move on without me. They know what it is. They know what I did for them, but it's all love this way."
Although Nurve may no longer be part of the current Kinky Boots tour, she's not giving up on her dream to eventually play Lola onstage in the future.
"On a positive note, I was able to learn the role of Lola and do an amazing job at. Unfortunately, the world didn't get to see it, but let me tell you this... if it ever goes back on Broadway, I'm going to be the first one to audition! I bet you I'll get the role, because I am what?! Sickening, bitch!"
Hello Hello Hello is streaming now on WOW Presents Plus. To see the full interview with Onya Nurve, check out the video at the top of the page.
Season 18 of RuPaul's Drag Race is off to a solid start as fans have fallen in love with all of the sickening queens competing for the crown.
Besides the fabulous outfits and gag-worthy challenges each week, audiences are also eating up the feud between contestants Athena Dion and Briar Blush.
The queens started throwing shade at each other since the beginning of the competition, but after Dion nearly escaped the bottom two during the girl group challenge, Blush is twisting the knife in a first look clip of this week's episode. Check it out below!
