Drag Race’s Willam and Alaska finally apologise to Acid Betty after weeks of dress-gate drama

‘I was trying to bring clarity to a situation that was none of my business’


It’s been a tense few weeks in RuPaul’s Drag Race drama, with the ‘Drag Race Civil War’ constantly gaining more layers and subplots as lots of queens feud. One of the biggest feuds to come off the back of All Stars 10 – easily one of the beefiest Drag Race seasons in recent memory – is the whole saga surrounding Acid Betty, a dress designer and the fact that Willam and Alaska spoke about it on Race Chaser without the involvement of Acid Betty. It all got messy when Acid Betty spoke out supporting Mistress in the beef with Willam and was very publicly demanding an apology from the podcast. Now Drag Race podcast hosts Willam and Alaska have formally addressed the situation and apologised to Acid Betty, so here’s what was said.

Willam and Alaska apologise to Acid Betty after Drag Race drama 

Buried in their latest episode of Race Chaser, where Willam and Alaska are unpacking the first episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race season 10, they apologise to Acid Betty right at the end in an extra segment.

Alaska says “I want to officially take a moment to apologise to Acid Betty. Listen, things have gotten out of hand. Untruths were told. Honestly, I’m an acting producer on this podcast and this network. We never should have had one person’s side of the story on without having the other person’s story. I apologise. I really hope we can move past this. Thank you for being patient with us. We’re sorry.”

Willam said “It wasn’t like I was relishing trying to take somebody down. I was trying to bring clarity to a situation that was none of my business. Two people had a dispute, one of them wanted me to get in the middle of it and I shouldn’t have. It caused you pain. It caused me stress. It didn’t make anybody look good in the end”

Alaska finalises by saying “Anytime anybody next wants to come on our podcast and air a grievance, sorry but we are not available!” For more like this, like The Tab on Facebook.
