00:00 RuPaul's Drag Race queens are allegedly dragging production company WOW, MTV and Paramount+.

00:05 In an exclusive statement to Pop Crave, talent agents of Drag Race Season 15 stars said the

00:11 queens have not been paid any additional funds with the release of Season 15 on streaming service

00:16 Paramount+. The queens allegedly found out the season was coming to Paramount+ right before

00:22 the public did. Twitter users are up in arms defending the queens saying they deserve residuals

00:27 with many calling for a drag queen union. However, creating a drag union offers a number of challenges.

00:34 There is already a union for live performers who cannot be considered for the theater union,

00:38 AGVA or the American Guild of Variety Artists. One of the issues is that there are such a wide

00:44 variety of places for drag queens to perform from your local bar to RuPaul's Drag Race and huge

00:50 venues. However, many believe that it may still be possible to organize within the upper levels

00:55 of drag stardom, such as the stars of RuPaul's Drag Race.
