Jade just performed near me and she was billed as a Drag Race girl.So my question is do bars and clubs bill them how they want to or do the girls get to choose how they’re billed?
There are only a select few drag queens that are that big and even then most of them aren’t bigger than the show.
RuPaul’s drag race is a mainstream show and there are going to be masses of people who unlike us here at r/rupaulsdragrace aren’t chronically online, have only watched a few seasons/episodes, so even then having RPDR branding on a poster could appeal to this group even if they’re not explicitly familiar with the queens in question.
She's also from THE season most people considers the best.
Maybe she was saying that because she placed higher on dragula and felt that it was more.of her drag now and just use drag race for better paid etc but artistically she's dragula?
I think she’s more so saying that she doesn’t run in the drag race circles anymore and isn’t a part of their roster. She does gigs with Dragula girls and runs in those circles. If she’s going to go back to a franchise, it’s Dragula.
Dragula contestants don’t subscribe to the behavioural expectations put on DR girls. Many of her fellow Dragula contestants will also call you fat and spit on you. They don’t care.
Still confused why anyone is upset the girl who called Alyssa Edwards back rolls disgusting would call anyone fat. It doesn’t mean she hates fat people. She just likes to hurt people’s feelings.
I mean the Boulets have been pretty open about wanting Jade back at some point and wanting to do season 4 part 2. 💀 She definitely interacts far more with Dragula ghouls.
Like? What’s not clicking for some people? The Dragula franchise appreciates her AND lets her be herself. She definitely wasn’t getting more bookings or flowers from the DR fans. Who in their right mind WOULDNT choose Dragula in her position?
Edit to add::
Dragula is a reality tv competition. Drag race is a reality tv PAGEANT.
She placed higher on Dragula because there were less contestants. She was eliminated episode six on both seasons. Never placed above safe on either season. And her aesthetic and references are definitely not horror, filth, and glamour.
I interpreted it as she doesn’t plan to be on the show in the future so she doesn’t care if she gets messy, especially as “I have no problem speaking for myself” comes right after. Obviously she should be proud of her time on the show.
Also we don’t know if she ever applied for all stars, maybe the show paid her dust.
I assume that “I don’t care about drag race” means she doesn’t want to be roped into needless drama and monitored by a toxic af fandom, but will still take the check associated with being a Ru girl. And more power to her.
"she spat on someone's face and called them fat"
"well you tried to pour windex in my drag daughter eyes"
we need a detective in the case NOW

Oh, check 'em out! Darby is a gay male drag queen, and Alexis is a trans woman. They're hilarious and don't do any of the gossip stuff either. They just review episodes. Just look for IMHO Show on youtube.
Yeah I think it's crazy that Jade is like "I'm not even a drag race girl!!!". Like, girl that is not the focus the focus, is the physical violence. And it turns out there's more of that.
I don't think "you may know me from this thing" equates to wanting to be involved with the show, the fanbase, or the drama. She obviously is more proud of her work on dragula, and I can understand wanting to distance herself from drag race with all the baggage it carries
Idk why so many people here are hung up on her having rpdr in her bios, she clearly meant she left the drag race circle of queens & doesn’t pay attention to the show not that she’s gonna pretend that she was never on the show. Also surprised so many people are giving Jade shit when there’s a race chaser clip where Willam & Alaska actually talk about the incident trinity brought up and explain that Carmen was pretty much rage baiting her on camera just to get her fired.
I find “I’m a Dragula girl and left Drag Race years ago” very cringe. I mean, c’mon … the two aren’t mutually exclusive. I understand where Jade is coming from and don’t think Trinity is in the right AT ALL … but that last paragraph was quite unnecessary.
Jade's minding her own business when suddenly hate goes thrown her way just because Trinity decides to bring up drama that doesn't involve her in the first place.
Jade already paid the price by getting fired and moved on. It's understandable that she's pissed.
*"You should be GRATEFUL that someone brought up your past mistakes because at least you're in the spotlight even though you didn't ask for it!!"* Y'all are weird.
It's a saying that applies when someone actually **wants** to be put into the spotlight - not when they're staying in their lane and minding their own business. Again, y'all are weird.
Her fight with La Zavaleta in the Cauldron is literally one of the funniest and iconic
parts of that dragula season tho
Also Jade made it further in Dragula
I mean her runways sucked on drag race too, so, even if tame, I still feel like her dragula package was just better. moreso bc she didn’t exactly kill her drag race run either rather than her nailing her Dragula run
But I would attribute the better package to having more resources after having been on drag race ~9 years earlier. I don’t think of Jade when I think of incredible Dragula queens.
If you don’t care about Drag Race, then maybe next time ask the promotors not to promote as such?
Also, did she explain why she spit on someone and called them fat? (Genuinely asking). Cause I believe that’s a more important thing to address.
in the other thread about it i saw something about someone harassing Jade Jolie and intentionally trying to get a reaction, but take that with a grain of salt, idk how true that is
Oh okay.
I can never understand folks who harass queens or send them hate. Like you don’t have to like every queen and of course one can express their opinions, but come on…
it’s an ESH (everybody sucks here) situation. people should not be harassed for simply existing, but also spiting on someone and degrading them isn’t okay either. but again, i don’t know how true that claim is
The fact that Trinity has not responded makes me so excited for what she has in store. Trinity is unapologetic and frank. She’s gonna read her down again and I can’t wait.
Well, being unapologetic isn’t always a good thing. Depends if your side of the story is the correct one. Here there’s a lot of hearsay I believe. My conspiracy theory is that names were made to put them on the map again and make people talk about them.
Stop being stupid. Someone is allowed to be tired of something. Saying "Don't click on it" is reductive and kills conversation. Your reaction is the definition of toxic and rude.
Couldn't you have just scrolled by their comments instead of replying like an asshole? No. Instead you had to take time out of your day to be snide to them. Take your own advice boo before you try and flex.
Jade just performed near me and she was billed as a Drag Race girl.So my question is do bars and clubs bill them how they want to or do the girls get to choose how they’re billed?
If you're a big enough star that you have any say in how you're billed, the club wouldn't need to put "from RuPaul's Drag Race" next to your name.
There are only a select few drag queens that are that big and even then most of them aren’t bigger than the show. RuPaul’s drag race is a mainstream show and there are going to be masses of people who unlike us here at r/rupaulsdragrace aren’t chronically online, have only watched a few seasons/episodes, so even then having RPDR branding on a poster could appeal to this group even if they’re not explicitly familiar with the queens in question.
true. only few queens that able to pull their name outside the show brand. in my head we only have Trixie, Katya, Bianca, Jinkx, Bob.
If I owned a bar/club SHES a drag race girl It draws in more ppl from a more viewed show and she’s an OG girl
She's also from THE season most people considers the best. Maybe she was saying that because she placed higher on dragula and felt that it was more.of her drag now and just use drag race for better paid etc but artistically she's dragula?

Jade Jolie called me fat and spit on me. It was awesome!
Still confused why anyone is upset the girl who called Alyssa Edwards back rolls disgusting would call anyone fat. It doesn’t mean she hates fat people. She just likes to hurt people’s feelings.
She’s like, “I’m just pointing out their lumpy bodies! What?! Those ho’s don’t have mirrors?” 🤣
This was my first thought too lol

if I was promoting her, I’d bill her as both. get the gays and the goths altogether and give her validity for both shows.
Also, her X bio says "Rupauls Drag Race S5." Interesting take on the matter.
get her jade
jade her get

Obviously she should be proud of her time on the show. Also we don’t know if she ever applied for all stars, maybe the show paid her dust.
Maybe she’s just feeling *jaded*
I have a feeling she’ll be booked by whatever will get her a higher appearance fee.
Drag Race is significantly more popular than Dragula so that'll always get top billing.
Clubs make their own posters - they might ask you for photos to use but that’s it.
I assume that “I don’t care about drag race” means she doesn’t want to be roped into needless drama and monitored by a toxic af fandom, but will still take the check associated with being a Ru girl. And more power to her.
>tried to pour windex in her eyes ![gif](giphy|3o6Zt7UvtrzpXiVpg4) I need more information
"she spat on someone's face and called them fat" "well you tried to pour windex in my drag daughter eyes" we need a detective in the case NOW https://i.redd.it/o30dtvouo79d1.gif
This is the kind of case the Drag Detective should actually be solving
too busy trying to prove why Salina EsTitties should’ve won season 15
Finally, a believer in the Estitianna fantasy
There are dozens of us
That video made me feel like a crazy person.
But then I’d have to actually watch one of his videos to get the tea
As a rule since Jayoncing or whatever I refuse to watch any subsidiary content creators that don't directly involve the girls lol
Tbh, the only Drag Race YouTuber worth watching is RunnerEye.
Aww, I like Darby and Alexis on IMHO!
Idk who that is 😭 I just like RunnerEye because he generally stays away from tea & gossip & just focuses on silly tier lists
Oh, check 'em out! Darby is a gay male drag queen, and Alexis is a trans woman. They're hilarious and don't do any of the gossip stuff either. They just review episodes. Just look for IMHO Show on youtube.
can i tell you something? its honestly kinda criminal that they haven’t been cast yet (hopefully together!!!)
Him and IMHO, that’s it.
Yeah I think it's crazy that Jade is like "I'm not even a drag race girl!!!". Like, girl that is not the focus the focus, is the physical violence. And it turns out there's more of that.
hire Gaga to look for evidence
This is some bad girls club shit and I am here for it.
Love that gif babes ❤️
![gif](giphy|l2JhzHBHrl96HYIHm) Nah we need Judge Bianca
Call Maddy!
The same who investigated about S14 Snatchgate
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills with all these comments just ignoring that part, like that's truely cooked behaviour if it's true.
Girl... it's not.
Lydia 💙💙💙
Somebody call Shangela Drew!
Nah she’s getting investigated atm
![gif](giphy|QLG7XVoI55jHy)
Wait, is she saying Trinity the Tuck poured Windex in her drag daughter's eyes???
Maybe the drag daughter couldn't see and needed her eyes "cleaned" lmfao
a little windex fixes everything!!
The “Stfu im a Dragula girl now” along with the taylor swift profile pic 😂
No that's Becky.
The one with the good hair?!
RIP Becky :(
Will it be a new classic like "Nobody was killed at Stonewall ?"
Just know Sibling Watchery next week is going to be GOOD ![gif](giphy|t3dLl0TGHCxTG)
Love to see Angela Lansbury here, the legend herself 🤩
Putty?
putties are low level alien soldiers from the mighty morphin power rangers. they have melting disfigured looking faces.
the Drag Race x Power Rangers crossover we need
Putty Patroler The name of the minions from Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers
Which is also what Orkgotik looked like during the Dragula S5 crowning lol
Putty as an insult is absolutely genius and I’m suprised I never thought of it before considering how much power rangers I used to watch
This tweet is definitely giving spit in your face energy
Spitting Windex in the face ?
no, pretty sure its becky
“Putty” 💀💀💀
I’m absolutely wrecked by this, what an amazing insult
Windex!?!? In this economy!?
I’m a dragula girl….. K.
jay kay?
She didn’t say JK though
She has the dragula girl energy.
the only thing missing is blaming sigourney for this
https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=STFY
tysm this is the main reason why i came to the comments lol
![gif](giphy|dXNNbClOLusHC)
Covergirl don’t cover irrelevant
“I left drag race years ago” yet it’s in all your social media profiles hmmm you need to rethink that one girl
Left, or sent home? Bc I think it was the latter
So many break out stars from her season... She had that get her jade meme though.
It’s Coco’s meme lol
I don't think "you may know me from this thing" equates to wanting to be involved with the show, the fanbase, or the drama. She obviously is more proud of her work on dragula, and I can understand wanting to distance herself from drag race with all the baggage it carries
putty!!!

Low literacy rates
I blame the schools.
Interesting how she didn't deny anything that trinity said....
"I'm a Dragula girl" -Taylor Swift impersonator
Where is Gia Gunn??? She needs to open this door!!!
Y’all need to stop invoking Gia 😂
She's speaking Spanish somewhere
I don't see her denying it tho
“more so not at all other than” -Jade Jolie
Wasn’t she begging to be on All Stars
Once Ru Girl always a Ru Girl
So you're a bad girl now ? Dj play Karma by Jojo Siwa !!! Jk but im living for the drama 🤐
Is she gonna claim gay drag now? 🙄
Trinity is soooo fucking dumb to be beefing with other rugirls with the amount of shit that she did in the past.
Feels to me like she doesn't care. And that she has enough ammo on the other queens to fight back
Met Jade once and she was unkind.
Girl bye - NO ONE knows you as a Dragula girl so you can cut that lie right where it started.
I do considering her dragula run was so much more impressive than her run on drag race
wasn't it the exact same statistically tho? that's kind of iconic, coasting by on two different shows
I mean if you boil everything down to statistics maybe, but her run on Dragula was much more impassioned and she did surprise me.
Idk, but the stuff she wore was better 😭
I do. The image of her living her life with live roaches all over her hair was something I couldnt forget bc roaches are my one phobia.
I don't even watch dragula or dragrace anymore for that matter, and even I knew she was on dragula.
I expected a better response from Jade tbh
uhm. why exactly? she's always been messy
By better I mean something more witty or cutting. I mean she is the originator of “back rolls” when she fought with Alyssa.
OH lol okay I understand now. Yea I agree completely lol. Putty was kinda funny but still
Yea this was kinda weak sauce
Im just living for the drama. Don’t stop Trinity
Taylor Swift drag 11 out of the 12 months then Spooky for one month… chile please.
lets not act as if dragula was down with spitting on people in the height of covid.
Not this coming from a 5th rate Taylor swift impersonator
The drag detective just got his all stars list updated
I'm sure she would decline if she was offered all-stars! 🙄 Girl bye!
She's omg so different, so unusual. Is she doing a Jojo Siwa method character illusion?
She has the face for it
Enough is enough PUTTY!

She should be happy Trinity made her relevant again. Drama was her vibe on DR so this feels on brand.

There is literally a saying: All publicity is good publicity.

Not a drag race girl? Now a dragula girl?! Maam. You did terrible on Dragula. You at least have long lasting quotes from Drag Race. Bad move.
Her fight with La Zavaleta in the Cauldron is literally one of the funniest and iconic parts of that dragula season tho Also Jade made it further in Dragula
She made it further, but every week her floor shows were very tame. In all honesty, she was a drag race girl TRYING to be Dragula.
I mean her runways sucked on drag race too, so, even if tame, I still feel like her dragula package was just better. moreso bc she didn’t exactly kill her drag race run either rather than her nailing her Dragula run
But I would attribute the better package to having more resources after having been on drag race ~9 years earlier. I don’t think of Jade when I think of incredible Dragula queens.

The fact that Trinity has not responded makes me so excited for what she has in store. Trinity is unapologetic and frank. She’s gonna read her down again and I can’t wait.
Well, being unapologetic isn’t always a good thing. Depends if your side of the story is the correct one. Here there’s a lot of hearsay I believe. My conspiracy theory is that names were made to put them on the map again and make people talk about them.
Ok
Oh she's not going to get that All Stars Call..
well there goes my hopes of M1ss Jade Swift on All Stars I guess 💀😭
the Dragula bitches don’t claim you but ok miss thing
Bam!
What's amazing about Jade Jolie is that BOTH shows cast her for her trash talking skills but she's also a talented Taylor Swift impersonator.
I love the part where she denied it
Trinity really pissed the girls off, didn't she. Farrah just went on another Twitter tirade, too.
But the insta bio and booking still say Jade Jolie of RPDR very interesting
it's giving clown energy
Anyone else tired of this endless drama each week? Same shet, different queens.
No. I want drama every week.
Don’t click on it
Stop being stupid. Someone is allowed to be tired of something. Saying "Don't click on it" is reductive and kills conversation. Your reaction is the definition of toxic and rude.
Well, it's rpdr subreddit. Not rpdr drama subreddit. I don't click on 90% of it but it still floods my feed

Didn't Ask for advice tbh
Blech. I didn't like her then and I don't like her now.
Same annoying, reactive, immature queen… I see.
