A Pit Crew member on Drag Race Slaysian Royale has come out to spill all the tea on Siam PhuSri’s “full-on meltdown” that didn’t make the edit on the show. There’s lots of talk online about what happened to her as people feared she’d become possessed for a moment.

Apparently, the scene was “way worse than shown”. Viewers basically saw Siam shouting, “I’m willing to do anything because I want to be the crown! This is me! New me! I’m happy to be the new me! You ready for me? Is this what you wanted to see from me?”

However, apparently it all went on for a while Siam argued with Vinas. A Pit Crew member alleges: “Miss Jade never stood on top of the table and violently screamed at everyone. I can’t say too much, but let’s just say a lot of what happened didn’t make the edit.”

“I love Siam, but we were all confused and scared by the sudden switch in her that day, so I was surprised the edit framed it in a way that made fans rally behind her and hate on Vinas. It wasn’t just Vinas who reacted that way either,” they added.

They continued: “All the queens were fed up at some point, even Suki, who eventually consoled her.” Viñas Deluxe believed Siam was invoking witchcraft because of similar experiences and hand motions Siam was making that Viñas says she witnessed with witches.

Vinas said that these witches had placed bad luck on her previously, hence the “stop chanting” comment Viñas made to Siam in Untucked during episode. However, several people don’t get why people are so baffled, because “American Ru girls have been way crazier.”

Siam was seen crying for a snippet of the episode, while the outcry happened just after the Rate-A-Queen Ruveal. However, people that watched are noticing the audio continued, but that the video glitched out to Vinas walking over to Siam over and over.

She exclusively told Reality Shrine: “I’d like to clarify that what may have been perceived as a “meltdown” was simply me experiencing a very human and emotional moment in a high-pressure environment. Drag is not only performance it’s deeply personal.”

“Sometimes the passion we put into our art comes across more intensely than expected. I respect the show, my fellow queens, and the fans, and I don’t see it as a “meltdown” but as part of my authentic journey. My focus has always been to share my culture, my artistry, and my story with love and honesty,” Siam added.
