How do you like them egg rolls?
Alexis Michelle came in fourth place on the most recent season of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars. Even though she made it far, the queen faced quite a bit of backlash from fans of the hit franchise.
Although it was tough for Michelle, the queen is taking the high road as she jumps into new projects.
"There's a lot of stuff in the world that gets in the way of people feeling comfortable in their own skin. When you see somebody who is comfortable, it can shake you and make you more uncomfortable. I'm somebody who knows who I am. I live authentically for me. That makes some people feel some type of way," Michelle tells PRIDE.
While competing on the show, Michelle broke down quite a few times in moments of happiness and sadness. During those emotional times, cameramen were quick to show Jessica Wild's face while watching Michelle cry.
Some fans of the show assumed Wild was over Michelle's breakdowns, but Michelle clarifies there's no shade between the two.
"It's ridiculous. Jessica just has a serious blank spare a lot of the times. It's not a judgmental one. Jessica and I are good friends. That is a false narrative."
Besides her fake beefs, Michelle is open about her crushes on her competitors while filming the popular show.
"When you take me out of the real world and I can't express myself in that way, everybody on that crew looked like an afternoon snack to me. I had the hots for LaLa. I think Kandy's sexy too."
The queen has truly built a strong bond with many of her Drag Race sisters. In fact, she's going on tour this fall with Tina Burner and Scarlet Envy on their Witch Perfect Tour, kicking off next week.
"You're going to have so much fun. You're going to be so entertained. It's so funny. It's all live singing — no lip-synching. You get a little bit of everything. Tina does Disney villains, Scarlet does your favorite pop songs with a jazzy trip, and of course I'm serving you all the Broadway hits."
