00:00I didn't mean to make you, like, get in your head about this.
00:03Well, you did.
00:04Welcome to Ms. Mojo.
00:05And today, we're looking at the most notable drag race queens
00:08whose once thriving friendship unraveled over time,
00:11either during production or outside the show.
00:13When I'm with my best friends, I say, yes, mama.
00:16That ain't how you talk when I hang out with you
00:18when the cameras aren't here.
00:21Boa and Scarlett Bobo.
00:22I'm gonna diss Scarlett.
00:23We've been friends for years.
00:24She's my sister, and I just hope she can take the punch.
00:27Reading may be fundamental, but it nearly ended the friendship
00:30between these two Toronto queens.
00:32Long before they were cast on the first season of Canada's Drag Race,
00:36Boa and Scarlett Bobo were already close,
00:38with Scarlett being one of the few queens who continued to book Boa
00:41despite her reputation for stirring drama.
00:44I am floored to see Boa.
00:46Boa has a bad rep in Toronto.
00:49She's messy, and she's a little annoying, but she's super funny.
00:53So when the Not Sorry About It challenge rolled around,
00:56Boa figured she'd aim her jokes at her bestie,
00:58assuming she could take the heat.
01:00Scarlett Bobo looks are a no-no,
01:02dressed like a clown and it showed in the promo,
01:04tried to stay the runway, doing it my way,
01:05that nose gives me eggplant Friday.
01:07But Scarlett didn't handle it well,
01:09and made that very clear during the episode's Untucked segment.
01:13I don't know why you've just been coming at me.
01:16Every time Boa interacts with anybody,
01:18it's either a dig or a read or something to get attention.
01:22You don't treat me like that in Toronto.
01:24Some of the other queens theorized that Scarlett
01:26might have been lashing out after seeing Boa,
01:28whom she considered less talented,
01:30earn praise from the judges.
01:32Alexis Mateo and Yara Sofia
01:33All Stars 1 already had plenty for the fans to complain about,
01:37but it also managed to do the unthinkable.
01:39It nearly damaged the friendship between Alexis Mateo and Yara Sofia.
01:43All right, Alexis, same question.
01:46She likes to wear women's panties.
01:48Pantaletas.
01:50Panties.
01:52We got a man.
01:53The season three favorites returned for the first All Stars installment
01:56and were forced to compete as a team.
01:59This strange new format was a little difficult for them to navigate,
02:02especially as fans and some queens whispered
02:05that one of them was relying too heavily on the other.
02:07Then came the lip sync that sent them home.
02:09When Yara made the controversial decision to press the she-mergency button
02:13and ultimately lost.
02:15I pressed the button because I'm thinking to use my power
02:18with her power to beat the other team.
02:21I'm gonna let Raven have it.
02:23Given the circumstances,
02:24it's easy to see how resentment could have taken root.
02:27A lot of social media was involved with Yara pressing the button
02:32and blaming who was the fault of what.
02:35And I think we kind of took a break from each other.
02:38Fortunately, they have since reconciled.
02:41Trinity the Tuck and Farrah Moan.
02:43You don't appear on two seasons of Drag Race
02:45without forming some kind of bond,
02:47and that was true for Trinity the Tuck and Farrah Moan.
02:50If you stay or you go,
02:53you've got to stop crying.
02:56You've got to pull it together.
02:57After competing on season nine and All Stars four,
03:00the pair seemed tight until their friendship began to splinter in 2021.
03:04It all started when Trinity performed in public
03:07during the COVID-19 pandemic,
03:08which prompted Farrah to call her out.
03:10On the Sibling Rivalry podcast,
03:13Trinity stated she was especially hurt
03:14because she once offered Farrah a place to stay during a difficult period.
03:18I told her, I said,
03:20girl, if you need to get away,
03:22you know, you can come to Florida.
03:25I have a guest room.
03:26We don't even have to interact.
03:27Farrah refuted those claims and went a step further,
03:30accusing Trinity of making transphobic comments
03:33about Farrah's ex, a trans man.
03:35Trinity denied those allegations as well,
03:37insisting Farrah had attributed someone else's comments to her.
03:41Um, and again, this was a long time ago,
03:43so I don't fault her for not remembering details.
03:45But what she said that I said was not anything.
03:48I didn't say anything to do with that.
03:50That was somebody else.
03:51A Curious C. Davenport and Silky Nutmeg Ganache
03:54On season 11,
03:55A Curious C. Davenport and Silky Nutmeg Ganache
03:58developed a close friendship,
03:59making it all the way to the grand finale
04:01and tying for third place.
04:03Who do you think deserves the crown?
04:05Are you Team A Curious?
04:07Team Brooklyn?
04:09Team Silky?
04:11Or Team Evie?
04:13They later reunited on All-Star 6,
04:15where A Curious decision to sit out the lip-sync smackdown
04:18led to Silky's one-woman Barbie performance.
04:20It appears that last week's eliminated All-Star,
04:24A Curious C. Davenport,
04:26has turned down my invitation to return for her redemption.
04:32Their friendship stayed out of the spotlight
04:34until June 2025,
04:36when A Curious posted a series of cryptic tweets
04:38about a certain individual who, quote,
04:40doesn't have talent.
04:42Fans quickly deduced she was referring to Silky.
04:45A Curious followed up with more posts
04:46implying Silky had stolen her TV,
04:49but offered no real details.
04:50A few days later,
04:52she returned to say the situation had blown over,
04:54but without any proper explanation,
04:57some fans suspected it was all staged.
04:59Bippity-bop and shit is that fly.
05:02Look out, girl, it's Azekazama Curia.
05:05Mistress Isabel Brooks and Malaysia Baby Doll Fox.
05:08At the start of season 15,
05:09these two queens bonded over their shared love
05:11for old-school drag
05:13and the struggles they faced
05:14in gaining acceptance from their families.
05:16I had a very, very similar experience,
05:18but, like, my parents weren't as accepting as yours.
05:22My parents had, like, a lot of homophobia,
05:24especially with religion,
05:25and my mama pretty much told me, like,
05:27if you're gay, you're going to hell.
05:28But tensions rose during the Old Friends Gold episode
05:31when Malaysia felt that Mistress and Luxe Noir London
05:34had tried to strong-arm their team
05:36into giving up the song they wanted.
05:37Luxe and Mistress are being mean girls.
05:41They're just, like, putting their foot down
05:42and claiming that up.
05:44I'm not a girl that's going to back down,
05:46so let the war begin.
05:47Following the season,
05:49it seemed Mistress and Malaysia
05:50had patched things up,
05:51especially as they both adopted Sugar and Spice
05:54as their drag daughters.
05:55But even that didn't last.
05:57After Mistress announced
05:58that she had cut Sugar and Spice off,
05:59Malaysia also jumped online
06:01to declare that she was no longer
06:02associated with Mistress.
06:04Only time will tell
06:05what turn their relationship will take next.
06:07Y'all are saying, like,
06:08oh, we could have had a conversation.
06:10No.
06:10You couldn't have had a conversation.
06:11I'm an adult.
06:12I could have a conversation.
06:13I'm not going to go back and forth
06:14on this conversation
06:15because it's getting nowhere.
06:16Alyssa Edwards and Coco Montrese
06:18The sprawling drama
06:20between season five contestants
06:21Alyssa Edwards and Coco Montrese
06:23largely unfolded
06:24before the season even began.
06:26However, it inevitably spilled over
06:28into the workroom.
06:29And then walks in Coco Montrese.
06:33The face crack of the century.
06:36Oh my god!
06:39Alyssa Edwards.
06:40Theirs remains one of the show's
06:42most iconic rivalries,
06:44but some fans still don't
06:45fully understand its origin.
06:47Back in 2010,
06:48Alyssa won the Miss Gay America title
06:50with Coco as her first alternate.
06:52You used to be in my runner-up
06:54and being behind me.
06:55Don't switch the game up now, mama.
06:57Okay, now Miss Alyssa.
06:59Now you pushed it.
07:01But then,
07:01Alyssa violated some contractual obligations
07:04tied to the crown,
07:05which led to her title
07:06being stripped and handed to Coco.
07:08Alyssa saw this as a betrayal,
07:10but Coco felt she did nothing wrong,
07:12and that marked the end
07:13of their once close friendship.
07:14But Coco,
07:15I heard that you went around everywhere
07:17and bad-mouthed me,
07:18saying I couldn't fulfill my reign.
07:20You got on your face.
07:21Hold on,
07:21let me finish.
07:22But see,
07:22you're doing all that
07:23and you're not even being fair to me.
07:24This was temporary, however,
07:26as the two had papsed things up
07:27by the time they returned
07:28for All-Stars 2.
07:29Girl, we had buried the hatch.
07:32We've put it in the ground 12 feet under.
07:34She ain't coming back out, okay?
07:35Candy Muse and Heidi in Closet.
07:37Early in All-Stars 8,
07:39Candy Muse, Heidi in Closet,
07:40and Jimbo formed an alliance,
07:42promising not to vote each other out
07:44if any of them landed in the bottom.
07:45You can call it an alliance,
07:47but it's making a pack of like,
07:48girl, I have you,
07:50you have you,
07:51you have me,
07:51and we have each other.
07:53But as Jimbo continued
07:54to dominate the competition,
07:55Candy allegedly began plotting
07:57to eliminate her.
07:58After Heidi informed Jimbo
08:00of Candy's supposed plan,
08:02Candy confronted her in the workroom
08:03and denied her claims.
08:05Since we're talking about family and stuff,
08:07Heidi, why did I hear that you went to Jimbo
08:09and told that I'm coming for her?
08:13Because you did.
08:14When Heidi turned to Alexis,
08:16who supposedly heard of this plot,
08:18she conveniently couldn't remember anything.
08:20This, in addition to Kahana Montrese
08:22dragging her for what she saw as sabotage
08:24during the Snatch Game,
08:25led to Heidi leaving the competition.
08:27Honestly, no,
08:28we don't even have to vote tonight.
08:30I love y'all.
08:30No!
08:30No, Heidi!
08:31No, Heidi!
08:32I can't, no, I can't do this.
08:34I can't, I love y'all.
08:35No, Heidi, no!
08:37Although Heidi hasn't publicly expressed
08:39any hard feelings towards Candy,
08:41the fallout from this incident
08:42certainly strained their relationship.
08:45Adore Delano and Laganja Estranja.
08:47These California queens came on season six
08:49with an already established friendship
08:50outside the show.
08:51How do you two know each other?
08:53We started together in the same club.
08:55Laganja and I are the best of friends,
08:57but when we do compete,
08:59that can get ugly.
09:01Which is very competitive.
09:02But as the competition heated up,
09:04their relationship cooled pretty quickly.
09:06Adore's journey through the season
09:07was paved with increasing praise from the judges.
09:10But Laganja continued to receive negative critiques,
09:13which only chipped away at her confidence.
09:15It's really hard to see all my friends
09:16get a lot of praise,
09:18especially Adore,
09:19because I don't think her look
09:21is as strong as mine.
09:22Instead of embracing her authentic self,
09:24Laganja seemed to overcompensate
09:26by putting on an exaggerated personality,
09:28which Adore claimed was nothing
09:30like the Laganja she knew.
09:31This resulted in the unforgettable untucked moment
09:34when Laganja ultimately broke down.
09:36Well, how am I supposed to feel in this moment?
09:38Laganja, I didn't want to make it
09:40that everybody was attacking you.
09:41I feel very attacked.
09:43Relax, relax.
09:45The producers seemed to be building
09:47toward a lip-sync showdown between the two,
09:49but it never materialized.
09:50Instead, Laganja sashayed away
09:52after losing to Jocelyn Fox,
09:54Arrietty, and Jules Sparkles.
09:56The Villains Roast episode of Season 17
09:59not only brought back
10:00some of the show's most iconic troublemakers,
10:02it also birthed a new one.
10:04Well, since Jules wants to play the game,
10:08let me play too.
10:11So I'm taking a few of her jokes.
10:13Jules Sparkles had won the advantage
10:15of determining the order of the roast
10:17and strategically placed herself
10:19right after her chismosa sister, Arrietty.
10:21Was it a little shady?
10:23Sure.
10:24And Arrietty certainly took it that way,
10:26resulting in a heated exchange between the two.
10:28As a friend, I would never do that to you.
10:30So thank you for actually saying that out loud.
10:32I would have done it to someone else
10:33that wasn't my sister.
10:35Damn, so everybody ain't here angel sister?
10:37Well, yes, they're all my sisters,
10:38but I feel like me and her had a connection.
10:40Determined to get her lick back,
10:41Arrietty then stole some of Jules' jokes
10:43and told them right before she went on stage.
10:46As expected, Jules was thrown off her game
10:48and stumbled through her set.
10:50So, before I roast you three fat jokes,
10:52let me say...
10:54Ultimately, the chismosas both landed in the bottom,
11:00but it was Jules who had the last laugh,
11:02sending Arrietty packing.

11:19Valentina and Farrah Moan
11:21Season 9's Miss Congeniality
11:23may not have been so congenial after all,
11:25at least not to her close friend Farrah Moan.
11:27Valentina and Farrah hit it off during the season,
11:29teaming up for most duo challenges
11:31and getting ready next to each other in the workroom.
11:33We were in the background,
11:35but we've come a long way.
11:38Now you can't spell Kardashian
11:40without a big fat J.
11:42According to Farrah,
11:43they got even closer after filming ended.
11:46But at some point,
11:47Valentina suddenly ghosted her.
11:49I think I texted her
11:50when her elimination episode finally came out
11:52and I was like,
11:53baby, I hope you're okay.
11:54I know that that was probably really hard for you.
11:56And like two days later,
11:57I got a yes.
11:58At the season 9 reunion,
11:59just after Valentina was named Miss Congeniality,
12:02Farrah brought up their falling out
12:04in an attempt to clear the air.
12:05But Valentina dismissed the issue
12:07with a frosty remark,
12:08resulting in one of the most unforgettable moments
12:11of the reunion.
12:12And it really hurts my feelings
12:13that you have not spoken to me.
12:15I respect you and love you.
12:18You don't love me.
12:19I was a real friend to you.
12:21You would not have just dropped me.
12:23It's unclear where their relationship stands today,
12:26but it doesn't seem like the two have mended fences.
12:29Which of these estranged besties
12:30would you like to see kiss and make up?
12:32Let us know in the comments below.
12:34You're not going to regret this when you go home?
12:36No, I'm not going to regret this.
12:39I know I'm not.
12:41I'm pleased with what I showed.
