The drag race fandom got a front row seat for an unexpected feud that unfurled between Eureka and Kim Chi this week.
On Monday, May 13, Eureka appeared as a special guest on the Very Delta show hosted by Delta Work. When asked about her time in the industry, Eureka shared a memory while on the Werq the World tour along with Drag Race season 8 star Kim Chi.
"I've definitely lost luggage [while touring]," Eureka 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."
"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 continued:
"I found this roll of fabric backstage, and I ended up having to host the show, so I just like rolled myself up in it and did that old, toga-type gown dress thing. I [performed] 'This Is Me' and rolled out of it into my panties. And I did my hair removed with potato chips in it, just to be extra for the crowd."
Eureka went on to explain that their spat went on to provoke another fight the same night—- this time with fellow queen Bob The Drag Queen.
"Kim Chi was upset that I was mad," Eureka said, "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."
Following Eureka's interview on Very That, Kim Chi took to X to share her own thoughts about what was said in the episode.
Kim Chi wrote (in a since-deleted X post, which was re-posted by fans on Reddit):
"A queen has decided to tell a fabricated story about me and my character on a podcast. Little does she know I have the receipts and witnesses. You messed with the wrong b*tch. See y'all tomorrow and no, this is not a joke."
Chi later shared another X post on Tuesday, this time discussing the attacks she's been receiving on social media. The Drag Race star and makeup mogul wrote:

"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."

Sad that plus size queens can’t build one another up instead of tearing one another down. More love, less fighting makes the world a better place.
