Drag Race star Roxxxy Andrews has broken her silence on the All Stars 9 finale.
Over the last 12 weeks, fans have immersed themselves in the franchise’s first-ever charity-led All Stars season.
From their hilarious Snatch Game performances to the numerous jaw-dropping runway lewks, the eight queens – Angeria Paris VanMichaels, Gottmik, Jorgeous, Nina West, Plastique Tiara, Roxxxy, Shannel and Vanessa Vanjie – effortlessly delivered charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent.
However, on 26 July, All Stars 9 came to a close with a new queen joining the Drag Race Hall of Fame.
For their last challenge, the ladies showcased their respective talents in the Slay It Forward Variety Extravaganza.
In the end, Roxxxy, Vanjie and Angeria advanced to the final – where they delivered one final lip-sync to Janet Jackson’s iconic track ‘Rhythm Nation’.
Taking the lip-sync and their variety extravaganza performances into consideration, RuPaul declared Angeria the winner of All Stars 9.
While many fans celebrated the season 14 queen’s incredible win, some were surprised by Ru’s choice due to Roxxxy being a frontrunner throughout the competition.
Amid the fan discourse, the beloved Orlando-based queen took to Instagram to address the All Stars 9 finale and her Drag Race journey.
“Make your own destiny… I’ve lost so many more times than I have ever won. But when you lose, you learn SO MUCH MORE in every aspect,” she wrote.
