RuPaul's Drag Race star Kim Chi has responded to ongoing complaints her fellow drag queen Eureka made about her on the Very Delta show earlier this month.
The two previously went on the Werq the World tour together and "got into the biggest fight," per Eureka, who was seemingly upset about Kim Chi not loaning her an outfit after she lost her luggage.
"That's not what happened at all," Kim Chi responded on her 1 for the Table podcast. "I am not entitled to loan her any outfit because she's not my friend. We've never been friends. We were never cool and we never fucked around like that."
After saying "this person" is "extremely self-centered" and "sucks all the air out of the room," Kim Chi continued:
"This person does not have the best hygiene. There are days where like I'll try to convince this person to shower and the person's like, 'I'm fine. I'm fine girl.' And I'm like, but no we are all traveling, living together, and we have to smell you constantly. For example, they had a jumpsuit that would get drenched in sweat after their performance, which it happens. Most of the time, you hang sweaty things up so it can air out and dry. Well, this person would wrap the sweaty jumpsuit up and put it in a plastic bag and carry it from city to city. Every time, this entire person's luggage would smell like strong mildew, like vinegary mildew."
Kim Chi added, "this person had like an open puss in their stomach that they were... instead of getting treated for whatever reason, they would cover it up with duct tape. Which is also baffling. And on top of that, just in Brisbane, this person was talking about how they shit they bed and they just left it on the bed."
A spliced-up clip has gone viral on social media.

"If I were to loan this person something, basically I'd be giving up... I'd never worn that again," said Kim Chi. "If that makes me a bad person, so be it."
The full episode is almost 50 minutes long, and Kim Chi speaks in depth about her experiences on tour with Eureka, including the actual story of their fight involving Bob the Drag Queen.
Eureka kicked off the drama earlier this month in her interview with Delta. "I've definitely lost luggage [while touring]," she said. "I remember being on the Werq the World Tour and I lost my bags. Luckily, I had my makeup and like two or three wigs… although I got into the biggest fight with Kim Chi. I was so pissed at her."
She went on to say, "I went to her, and I was like, 'Do you have anything I could borrow? Like a stretch dress or anything?' And this was when she was going through her era of like, 'I'm not a big girl.' So she was just like, 'Eureka I don't have anything in your size.' I was just like, 'Okay, that's delusional,' because I was also at a skinnier version of myself. It was also just… I felt, like, hateful, you know? It's like, we're sisters, we're on tour together, and I got upset about it. I was just like, 'Okay, well, f*ck you, girl' and stormed off and did my thing."
Eureka concluded the story, "Kim Chi was upset that I was mad so then Bob comes in there trying to tell me how wrong I am. And I was not in the mood, b*tch. I was just like, 'F*ck you too b*tch! Get out of my dressing room. I hate you all!' I love them now, [but] me and Kim Chi took a minute before we were okay again. But, you know, that's how sisters get into it when we're traveling."
After the clip began picking up steam, Kim Chi responded to the hate she was receiving online.
"The amount of body shaming I've received in the last 24 hours over someone's falsely embellished story is actually wild? I didn't want to air out my personal struggles but I actually suffered from depression and leg injury and have gained a lot of weight. I am doing much better now getting back in healthier habits and routine. I hope you folks aren't this cruel to fat people in your real daily lives."
