Violet Chachki may have just started some beef with another queen after referring to season 17 of RuPauls Drag Race as “garbage.”
Violet Chachki and Gottmik were being interviewed on a red carpet when they were asked: “Did anyone serve on season 17?”
Violet responds: “I literally [have] no clue. Oh, I don’t watch. Oh, no, no, no.”
It then cuts to Violet explaining that Gottmik often shares “clips and videos” with her, adding: “I’m like, ‘Stop showing me this garbage.’ I go, ‘Stop showing it to me!’”

Lexi Love, who placed third/fourth on the season, even retweeted the video with the caption, “What a c**t”.
In response to the backlash, Violet responded by sharing a video on her TikTok to clarify her comments.
“I check my phone, and I’m seeing that the press has twisted this weird ass narrative of me saying that I am calling something garbage that I’ve never even seen,” said Violet.
“How does that make any sense? I have nothing but love and light for everything that RuPaul has done for me and for the community, for the literal world. I’m eternally grateful for that. I literally cannot have an opinion on something that I’ve not seen.”
A wise queen once said - mamma this is garbage

She then went on to explain that it was a misunderstanding and that she has “nothing but love for every queer person in the world.” She added, “And you guys should know that by now. So, know that 100 per cent. And, mama, that’s garbage, mama.”
Gottmik backed up Violet’s claims, saying the clip was “cut shady”: “Violet was saying I show her a bunch of garbage all the time not talking about Drag Race at all besides saying she hasn’t seen it.”
Do you think Violet was being shady or was it just some shady editing? Leave you thoughts down below!
