'Cat's outta the bag': Drag Race's Detox comes out as trans

'Cat's outta the bag': Drag Race's Detox comes out as trans

RuPaul’s Drag Race favourite Detox has confirmed that she’s transgender during a live performance on stage with another Drag Race sister.

Detox was on stage with Willam last week in Chicago as the pair performed their single Chow Down (at Chick-fil-A).

In the song’s original first verse, Detox is heard in the background declaring that she’s “a top”.

But during a clip of the Chicago concert, shared on TikTok, the Drag Race season five and All Stars 2 finalist says, “I’m trans now.”

People absolutely loved it, and Detox herself replied in the comments of the video, “Cat’s outta the bag!”

The drag superstar lists her pronouns on Instagram as “she/they”.

Detox and Willam joined lineup of Drag PAC

The performance was part of Drag PAC, a US political action group founded by a group of drag superstars.

Founders Jinkx Monsoon, BenDeLaCreme, Monet X Change, Peppermint, Alaska and Willam invited a lineup of fellow queens to perform at the concert during the Democratic National Convention last week.

As hateful attacks on drag queens as well as the wider queer community continue across the US, Drag PAC aims to “educate, invigorate and motivate” queer voters ahead of the US presidential election.

The drag queens encouraged the audience to register to vote at voter registration stations at the venue.

Profiles of Pride: June 23rd!  🏳️‍🌈Carmen Carrera🏳️‍🌈

Carmen Carrera (born April 13, 1985) is an American reality television personality, model, burlesque performer, and actress, known for appearing on the third season of the Logo reality television series RuPaul's Drag Race, as well as its spin-off series RuPaul's Drag U. Carrera is a transgender woman and a transgender rights activist.

Carrera was born in Elmwood Park, New Jersey. In 2011, she appeared in the third season of the reality television competition show, RuPaul's Drag Race. Carrera is the second contestant in the history of the show (after season three castmate, Shangela) to rejoin the cast after being eliminated, and along with Raja, Manila Luzon, and Delta Work, was part of the clique known as the "Heathers", which took its name from the 1988 film, Heathers. In episode 10, "RuPaul-a-Palooza", Carrera was eliminated for her performance while lip-syncing to a reggae-inspired cover of RuPaul's song "Superstar". Judges Michelle Visage, Santino Rice, and Billy Brasfield voted to re-invite Carrera to the competition in episode 12, "Jocks in Frocks". Subsequently, Carrera was eliminated in that episode after styling a muscular male athlete in her own signature "nude"-style of drag.

Carrera has also been active in AIDS awareness and activism. After being featured in a Gilead Sciences ad titled "Red Ribbon Runway" with fellow Drag Race co-stars Manila Luzon, Delta Work, Shangela Laquifa Wadley, and Alexis Mateo, the dress she wore was auctioned by Logo in commemoration of World AIDS Day. Proceeds from the auction were donated to the National Association of People with AIDS.

On June 11, 2012, Carrera appeared in an episode of the TLC series Cake Boss, "Bar Mitzvah, Beads & Oh Baby!", in which she unknowingly participated in a prank involving "Cousin Anthony" Bellifemine, the cousin of "Cake Boss" Buddy Valastro, who was set up with a date with Carrera. The punchline of the joke had Valastro tell Bellifemine that "... that's a man, baby!" Carrera, however, originally agreed to appear on the program to promote equality for the transgender community, not aware that she would be involved in a joke. Following the airing of the program, Carrera rebuked the situation on Facebook:[

“By calling me a 'MAN' promotes ignorance and makes it ok to call transgender women, men. PEOPLE GET BULLIED, BEAT UP, AND KILLED FOR BEING TRANS BECAUSE OF THIS IGNORANCE! ... I made it VERY clear to the producers on how to use the correct wording before agreeing to filming this but instead they chose to poke fun and be disrespectful. That's not what Im [sic] about! ... I may not have been born a woman, but im [sic] NOT a man. I told them I wouldn't mind if they said 'born male' or 'was a male'. After taking this journey it's not fair at all to be lied to by the producers.”

Valastro subsequently apologized for the incident, saying:

“I owe an apology to the entire LGBT community. It was absolutely not my intention to upset or offend her, or anyone within the community, and I was wrong to use the words I did. I am a supporter of gay rights and equality, and while I regret this situation and my choice of words, I am thankful to have received this feedback and the opportunity to learn from this mistake. I hope that Carmen accepts my sincere regrets.”

In March 2014, Carrera openly criticized RuPaul for use of the pejorative "she-male" on a RuPaul's Drag Race episode. She continued to be critical of RuPaul when the issue arose again in 2015, after Logo pulled the "Female or SheMale" game from DragRace, which prompted RuPaul to defend the use of the word "tranny". Carrera's continued protests led to accusations by others that she was biting the hand that fed her. Carrera responded that, while she appreciates the opportunity to compete on DragRace, she ultimately earned her status through her efforts and those of her agent, friends, fans, and family, and that she was not beholden to support RuPaul's use of transphobic language.

Carrera was featured in the work of photographer David LaChapelle. She posed for a poster for Life Ball, which has two versions; each depicts her with different genitalia to represent the blurring of gender identity.

In 2014, Carrera was included as part of the Advocate's annual "40 under 40" list and made a cameo appearance on Jane the Virgin's premiere episode.

Also in 2014, Carrera was featured on the fifth anniversary cover of C☆NDY magazine along with thirteen other transgender women: Janet Mock, Laverne Cox, Geena Rocero, Isis King, Gisele Alicea, Leyna Ramous, Dina Marie, Nina Poon, Juliana Huxtable, Niki M'nray, Pêche Di, Carmen Xtravaganza and Yasmine Petty.

RuPaul’s Drag Race Ruveals the New Queens of Season 17, premiering Friday, January 3rd at 8:00 PM ET/PT on MTV

  America’s Next Drag Superstar to receive cash prize of $200,000

Ruveal Spot Here

Paramount Press Express Here

(New York, NY - December 4th) - MTV today ru-vealed the cast for Season 17 of the Emmy® Award-winning global phenomenon, RuPaul’s Drag Race, which returns Friday, January 3rd at 8:00 PM ET/PT with 90-minute episodes. This season, 14 dazzling new queens enter the Werk Room to compete for the title of “America’s Next Drag Superstar” and a cash prize of $200,000 for the winner, sponsored by TodayTix, the theater ticket app.

In the premiere episode, the new cast of queens will compete in “Drag Queens Got Talent” and this season will bring back the gag-worthy “Rate-A-Queen” scoring system, but with an all-new twist.

RuPaul’s Drag Race: Untucked, the Emmy® award-winning aftershow, will premiere immediately following at 9:30 PM ET/PT on MTV. Untucked gives viewers a behind-the-scenes look at the backstage drama as the queens anxiously await their fate in the competition.

Today, fans will be able to "Meet the Queens" more in-depth on the RuPaul's Drag Race YouTube channel, with individual interviews from each new queen and the official Season 17 images. Sashay over to the Drag Race YouTube channel right HERE. 

“RuPaul’s Drag Race” sponsors include ViiV Healthcare. 

For more information on RuPaul’s Drag Race and up-to-date news, go to Paramount Press Express and follow RuPaul’s Drag Race on X, Instagram, TikTok, Threads, Facebook for all the latest tea. Join the conversation using #DragRace.

The 14 new queens include:

Acacia Forgot - Los Angeles, CA | @acaciaforgot

This honky-tonk diva puts the country in California. Glitzy, glamorous, and with a penchant for blonde hair, Acacia Forgot has never met a rhinestone she didn’t like. Musically talented, as well as being a singer-songwriter, Acacia plays the guitar, piano, banjo and ukulele. Will this aspiring country star also become America’s Next Drag Superstar?

Arrietty - Seattle, WA | @arrietty_theelf

Arrietty hails from the House of Dubois - her drag mother is none other than Drag Race season 15’s Irene (The Alien) Dubois. Obsessed with the fantasy genre, this uniquely creative queen designs and sews her own outfits, often with a “futuristic elf” aesthetic. Add in the ability to beat a mean mug when needed, and this talented, twisted queen is ready to go all the way in the competition!

Crystal Envy - Asbury Park, NJ | @thecrystalenvy

With looks so polished, it’s hard to believe this makeup artist and drag queen has only been performing for 3 years. In New Jersey, Crystal swiftly dominated the club scene. Crystal Envy’s name comes as a mixture of their birth name Chris, and the fact that every outfit she wears is bedazzled and sparkly. This pageant princess commands a club crowd, but can Crystal hold that same command over the judges this season?

Hormona Lisa - Chattanooga, TN | @hormona_lisa

This Southern bubblegum babe was infamously plucked from the crowd by RuPaul on the Atlanta stop of his “The House of Hidden Meanings” book tour, and invited to Hollywood. Now officially a part of the season 17 cast, this campy queen - inspired by Disney princesses and vintage screen sirens - hopes to catch the eye of RuPaul again, this time where it counts the most: on the main stage of RuPaul’s Drag Race!

Jewels Sparkles - Tampa, FL | @thejewelssparkles

Out of drag, this youthful queen has a sweetness and an innocence, and is a self-described "ditzy clumsy bimbo." But don’t be fooled - Jewels intends to enter the competition with intention and strategy. With influences that range from Ariana Grande to Priscilla Presley, to her Puerto Rican and Cuban heritage, you’d be foolish to underestimate this talented doll as merely a “look queen."

Joella - Los Angeles, CA | @thejoelladynasty

Joella calls herself “The Slaysian Diva,” and with her own unique style of drag, mixing traditional Chinese costume with street fashion and pop culture, you can see why. Having already won local West Hollywood drag bar contests, Joella is now ready to represent plus size queens in the biggest drag competition in the world.

Kori King - Boston, MA | @koriking 

This boisterous queen has rapidly risen to the top of the Boston scene, amassing a respectable TikTok following along the way. Only in the drag game for 2 years, Kori has already been awarded Boston’s Best New Performer To Watch award, and is the name on everybody's lips. She is season 16 finalist Plane Jane’s drag sister, so expect a razor sharp wit, and somebody who tells it like it is!

Lana Ja’Rae - New York, NY | @lanajarae

Lana’s drag mother is Luxx Noir London, from season 15 of Drag Race, so expect a level of fierceness from this fashionista! Luxx saw Lana competing in a New York drag competition and was so impressed, she approached her backstage and asked if she could adopt her on the spot. Bringing legs and body to the main stage, Lana is ready to strut away from this competition with a crown!

Lexi Love - Louisville, KY | @mslexilove

Lexi Love is a full-time “playmate” at Play, Louisville: a bar known for its high energy drag excellence. As a performer, Lexi knows how to turn the party up - but she’s also someone you’d love to kick it with. Having survived a period of homelessness and drug addiction, she has emerged a stronger and more independent queen, and is ready for the re-birth of Lexi to take over the world!

Lucky Starzzz - Miami, FL | @theluckystarzzz

Born in Havana, Cuba, Lucky Starzzz is an expressive, colorful, living cartoon! Lucky’s drag meets at the intersection of club kid and camp, and this resourceful queen uses as much paper and spray paint as she does sequins and rhinestones. Lucky describes her drag as “a venus fly trap in a room full of roses.” Can Lucky’s eye-catching creativity catch the eyes of the judges this season and win her the crown?

Lydia B Kollins - Pittsburgh, PA | @foreheadbrows

To understand this absurdist, unique queen you only need to know that the “B” stands for b*tthole. Named after Winona Ryder’s character in Beetlejuice, Lydia Deetz, and inspired by Tim Burton, John Waters and David Lynch, Lydia B Kollins is a queen who values creativity over perfection. Will the judges find Lydia’s looks BOOTYful, or will her time on Drag Race be a disASSter? 

Onya Nurve - Cleveland, OH | @onyanurve

Smashburger cook by day, enchanting and in-demand drag artist by night. Onya Nurve got bitten by the performance bug in high school, and took an artistic career path to drag via a BFA in Painting from the Cleveland Institute of Art. A comedic actress as well as being able to belt out a tune, Onya represents a real threat in this competition!

Sam Star - Leeds, AL | @samstarqueen

Stunning, stylish, SOUTHERN! Sam is quite the Renaissance queen, having trained in musical theater, and being a retired gymnast / cheerleader who can do back handsprings! With polished makeup skills and a gorgeous mug, Sam has gone on to win an impressive number of pageant titles for such a young queen: it’s no surprise to learn that Trinity The Tuck is her drag mother and mentor. 

Suzie Toot - Fort Lauderdale, FL | @suzie.toot

Suzie’s uniqueness is her greatest strength in drag. A professional tap dancer, with a look rooted deeply in 1920s and 30s fashions, Suzie describes herself as the "cross section between Betty Boop and Lucille Ball." A skilled actor with a wild sense of humor and excellent comedic timing, Suzie hopes to wow the judges with her quirky take on drag!
