Ginger Minj receives backlash from fellow queens after

Ginger was crowned the winner of All Stars 10. Her victory earlier this year was immediately met with some controversy. 

However, the real drama began AFTER the competition show wrapped up. Ginger recently appeared on The Kelly Mantle Show on Dec. 24 , discussing getting the call to return for All Stars as well as the support (or lack of it) she received amid her win.

 

 

“Going into All Stars 10, I had been in the hospital for a long time. I was really sick. I got COVID, which turned into pneumonia,” said Ginger. “I really thought I was going to die,” but then, she “got the phone call to come back” out of the blue. 

In a separate interview, she claims to have received the call while on a cruise with Denali. 

Ginger responded to a fan’s tweet asking about the difference in stories, explaining, “You get multiple calls. One for interest and availability, a follow up call and then the final call that says you are on the show…but none of you would know that.”

Still speaking with Kelly Mantle, Ginger expressed she didn’t feel supported by her cast mates throughout the fandom’s vocal criticism after All Stars 10, excluding queens Mistress Isabelle Brooks and Lydia B Kollins.

She goes on to suggest the cast of queens were friendly while filming All Stars 10 but did a 360 once the season actually premiered:  "They realized they could get more traction by 'trashing Ginger' on social media," the self-proclaimed “Glamour Toad” argued.

As a result, many queens were quick to respond to Ginger’s recollection of events. 

 

Daya Betty, Jorgeous, Acid Betty and Plane Jane

Daya Betty called her story,”bull****”, saying multiple girls had reached out to Ginger. She also said she stopped reaching out “because EVERY conversation that was had always ended up ONLY being about you”.

“Don’t try to act like no one had your back. I think people just started to get tired of your pity party,” Betty concluded. 

All Stars 10’s Jorgeous reactivated her Twitter/X account to add to Betty’s post, “You Literally Had Her Back” on the same day. Drag Race‘s Plane Jane then chimed in the same thread referencing to Minj : “Back when it was bigger too.”

Acid Betty also re-shared Daya’s message adding “Ditto” on Instagram.

 

Aja

On a livestream, Aja responded to fan comments about Ginger, addressing her directly:  "Yeah, I didn't call that bitch. I don't give a fuck. Bitch, I don't know you like that! Fuck I look like calling you?" Aja said. 

"Like, so you're upset 'cause people wasn't calling you to check in on you? Girl, who the fuck checked in on me? Your bitch ass didn't check up on me! So you think… Be real. Be real. Be real. “Nobody was checking in on you because you wasn’t checking in on anybody!” Aja also stated: “No shade, I like Ginger.”

She later posted on X,  “I do think it is kind of wild to say nobody checked in when people actually did.”

 

Just to clarify real quick, I was also dealing with a lot during filming, and the people who are actually close to me did check in on me. I was not expecting a bunch of people to reach out, because that would have been unrealistic.

"I dunno if you'll ever get a part on Broadway but I admire your dedication to playing the victim," Bosco wrote in an Instagram Story without mentioning names. 

 

Cynthia Lee Fontaine

Cynthia Lee Fontaine also blasted Ginger in an Instagram story. “It seems you totally forgot ALL THE TEXT messages I sent you this year giving you encouragement and even support!!!!” she wrote.

Cynthia also said it was Ginger who isolated herself as well as slamming Ginger for playing victim which Cynthia called “not a winner behavior”.

 

Ginger has yet to publicly respond to the queens calling her out.
