The RuPaul's Drag Race season 13 saga continues.
Various queens from Drag Race season 13 have discussed their issues with Elliott With 2 Ts, who placed 9th in the competition and made a few problematic remarks over the years. In a new interview from Exposed With Joseph Shepherd shared on Monday, July 15, Elliott talked about her side of the story and tried to explain what was going through her head when she made certain remarks.
A few hours after that interview went live on YouTube, Kandy Muse shared a couple of X posts reacting to Elliott's statements on Exposed. The season 13 and All Stars 8 finalist wrote:
"Going on a podcast and ASKING for an interview 4 years later to make yourself the victim and STILL not take accountability for the sh*t you said and did on set is WACK! Joseph, take the L on that wack ass interview! 'No one told me anything' babes there's literal footage of me calling you out in Untucked… enough with this topic, I'm done beating a dead horse."

Kandy continued in a follow-up X post:
"And since you wanna talk about 'no one called you out,' baby don't even try it, and even after your ass blocked me, I still made sure you were included in the group photo at DragCon. That victim complex is dangerous!"
In this second X post, Kandy attached screenshots that show Elliott allegedly leaving a group chat between the queens of Drag Race season 13 after being called out for not taking accountability for her statements. Another screenshot shows how Kandy reacted to getting blocked on X (formerly Twitter) by Elliott.

Out reached out to Elliott With 2 Ts for comment. In response, Elliott wrote:
"By doing this interview, I've taken accountability by addressing everything head on, and I want to rise above this. It's not about being a victim, I've been the target of hate and abuse for too long. This is something that has deeply affected me, and I just want to use my platform to spread love and kindness. At this point, I've apologized to the best of my abilities and even taken steps to educate myself. Every story has three sides, my side, their side, and the truth. I genuinely want to move past this. I am not racist or transphobic, and do not have the ability to be so in my heart. I wish Kandy all the best, and I forgive her for all the hurt she caused me, however, my name is spelled Elliott with 2 T's, there are no K's in my name."
