Yvie Oddly, an alumna of the popular competition show RuPaul’s Drag Race, which will determine the next generation of American Drag Queen stars, has slammed the show and its producers in a Twitter thread.

Yvie became a reality star in 2019 after winning season 11 of the show, but claimed it took her more than a year to receive her $100,000 prize.

#DragRace winner Yvie Oddly calls out producers for being “capitalist culture thieves,” says it took “over a year” to receive her grand prize money:

On Monday night, while watching the latest season of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars, Yvie vented his anger in a thread.

Yvie accused the producers of being “capitalist culture thieves”, saying they were “meddling in the lives of real people” and giving the talent low wages but high salaries. In addition, Evie made the astonishing claim that the bosses “conveniently forgot that I owed them $100,000 and it took me over a year to pay the prize money”.

In 2021, Vice reported that contestants on the show have to pay between USD 4,000 and USD 20,000 per season.

One queen claimed that “the money I spent to enter this contest is more than the down payment on my house”, while another queen revealed that she spent more money on this competition than she did on college tuition fees. In Evie’s Monday night thread, she wrote: ‘These queens are remarkable! Drag artists are the lifeblood of what makes this franchise great, now and forever”.

He continued, “Everything we love, the looks, the catchphrases, the memes, the drama… it all comes from the queens”, “Producers are often the greediest, most calculating, capitalistic culture thieves”, “They play with real people’s lives, careers, and health They toy with the lives, careers and health of real people. They claimed that ‘contestants lose sleep, become depressed and drive home in luxury cars despite being paid extremely low wages for their contribution to the cultural phenomenon’.
