RuPaul’s Drag Race<\/a> is certainly full of dramatic moments, but it turns out some of the most shocking and scandalous moments were never actually allowed to air, and got cut out of the final show.<\/p>\n

But, thanks to cast members who don’t tend to hold anything back we now know some of the alleged juicy scenes that we never got to see, so let’s get into it!<\/p>\n

Alleged axed moments from Pearl’s infamous feud with RuPaul<\/h2>\n

The feud between Pearl and RuPaul during season seven of Drag Race actually started whilst filming was taking place.<\/p>\n

It all kicked off when RuPaul stared down Pearl, who seemed disinterested in participating in the show, which resulted in Pearl asking: “Do I have something on my face?”<\/p>\n

A few years later, Pearl spoke out about her time whilst filming, and claims that RuPaul made a rather unkind comment to her during the show that never aired.<\/p>\n

She claimed: “I turned to RuPaul and said, ‘Oh my god, thank you so much. It’s such a honor to be here, such a pleasure to meet you, you have no idea.’<\/p>\n

“Just giving her everything I ever wanted to say to her. She turned to me and she said, ‘Nothing you say matters unless that camera is rolling.'”<\/p>\n

Pearl admitted that she had “idolised” RuPaul and felt her reaction was “disrespectful” and ultimately “broke” her “spirit.”<\/p>\n

She revealed that was why she’d been so aloof on the show, adding: “That’s the reason why I had one foot in and foot out the entire time I was on that show.”<\/p>\n

However, her claims have never been confirmed by RuPaul, so take them with a dose of salt as to whether the Drag Race host actually made those comments towards her.<\/p>\n

Phi Phi O’Hara claimed the show edited out a lot of her positive behaviour<\/h2>\n

Season four and All Stars 2’s cast member Phi Phi O’Hara, dragged RuPaul’s Drag Race production team after their exit from the show.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Vulture<\/a>, she revealed some of the moments she felt like were deliberately left out. She explained: “It\u2019s really upsetting because I put so much faith in this show [that] it was going to keep it\u2019s word on this redemption for Phi Phi, and they\u2019ve just made me look like another backstabbing manipulative monster.<\/p>\n

“I wish Ru would step up to the plate and say something and they don’t.”<\/p>\n

Jamie Martin, who works on the editing for RuPaul’s Drag Race later spoke out in general about criticism over the editing of storylines in an interview with Refinery29<\/a>.<\/p>\n

She explained: “On our show specifically, we really try to maintain the integrity of the queens\u2019 stories. We’re not actively trying to manipulate. I think that’s the thing that people online think we’re doing.<\/p>\n

“We’re not manipulating what was said, it just might happen in a different amount of time because we can’t show eight hours of footage.<\/p>\n

“It’s not that we’re trying to put someone under the bus. Everyone on this team deeply cares for all of the queens and we want to have their stories told, how they were told.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a YouTube video, Kandy revealed more about her wild fight with Tamisha, explaining: “The reason why Tamisha was so hot and came in hot [to Untucked]. [Production] had [Tamisha] waiting by the door while we were critiquing the girls.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo production had us talk about the girls, while the girls were outside hearing us, and I didn\u2019t know that, so she came in \u2026 but she had heard us, and she was hot!\u201d<\/p>\n

I can’t believe we missed out on all those juicy scenes!<\/p>\n
