Now that the dust has settled, RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 10 winner Ginger Minj has responded to accusations of favouritism by explaining that she felt she was at a ‘complete disadvantage’ by being a fourth-time returnee.

Addressing claims from the fans of RuPaul’s Drag Race (and other RuGirls) that Ginger was favoured by production on her winning season, she said: “From the moment I was announced on the cast, there were people who created the narrative for themselves that it was favouritism and it was rigged towards me.”

Continuing, Ginger explained: “I felt the complete opposite going in. I felt like I was at a complete disadvantage. I had to pull out all the stops.”

Ginger Minj added of favouritism claims: “I don’t think that ten years and four seasons later, favoritism would certainly start out of nowhere for me. It’s just so wild for me to hear that from other people.

“My win has caused so much controversy. Any art that deserves to be taken seriously is subjective and should elicit a strong reaction.”

Ginger, who made the finale on season seven and All Stars 6, previously slammed favouritism complaints, telling Entertainment Weekly that those with grievances “built the narrative themselves”.

The winner beat season 14 and All Stars 9 queen Jorgeous in the final lipsync of All Stars 10; after Jorgeous’ loss, she told her followers that she felt “hollow”.

For anyone suffering immediate withdrawals, never fear; Drag Race UK vs. the World‘s third season is on the way, and Drag Race Philippines: Slaysian Royale recently premiered. And the All Stars 11 cast is already kicking about…

The RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 10 grand finale is streaming now on Paramount+ in the US and WOW Presents Plus internationally.
