The girls are fighting!
In the wise words of Gia Gunn, “At this point, Trix, the dolls are the dolls.”
Heidi N Closet and Kahanna Montrese were seen fighting on RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 8 after Montrese felt like N Closet was deliberately poking fun at her during the Snatch Game. N Closet claimed that she was trying to help Montrese so that she could “volley” jokes back and forth between them, but Montrese still felt like N Closet was making the situation even worse.
Right when her fight with Montrese appeared to be winding down, N Closet found herself in another argument that involved Kandy Muse, Jimbo, and Alexis Michelle. This dramatic day in the werk room ultimately led to N Closet quitting All Stars 8.
For all we knew, N Closet and Montrese’s beef had been squashed during All Stars 8 or after filming was done. However, it doesn’t seem like that is the case any longer. On Monday, June 12, the two drag performers started taking jabs at each other on social media. N Closet also shared screenshots of a conversation that she had with Montrese via text message.
