RuPaul’s Drag Race Live! mainstay Derrick Barry has recently opened up about a co-star she would prefer not to work with again, shedding light on the behind-the-scenes drama that can sometimes occur in the world of drag entertainment.
Known for her spot-on Britney Spears impersonations and her no-nonsense attitude, Barry has never been one to shy away from speaking her mind. Throughout her time on both season eight of RuPaul’s Drag Race and All Stars 5, she has been involved in various conflicts with her fellow queens, making for some truly memorable television moments.
Currently, Barry is a part of the cast of RuPaul’s Drag Race Live! in Las Vegas, as well as its spin-off show, RuPaul’s Drag Race Live! Untucked. Despite being a mainstay in the franchise since 2020, it seems that Barry’s ability to stir up controversy has not waned.
In a recent interview with Pride, Barry revealed that there is one queen in particular that she would rather not share the stage with again – Trinity K. Bonet. According to Barry, Bonet’s desire to perform a Beyoncé number in the show was thwarted due to music clearance issues, leading her to perform a Whitney Houston mix instead, which left her feeling unsatisfied.
Barry expressed disappointment in the way Bonet handled the situation, stating that their personalities and energies did not mesh well together. While she wished Bonet all the best, Barry made it clear that she would prefer not to work with her again in the future.
This is not the first time Bonet’s behavior has been called into question by a fellow castmate. Kylie Sonique Love, the winner of All Stars 6, also criticized Bonet’s working attitude as “pretty sh**ty” during an episode of the reunion series Bring Back My Girls.
Despite the drama, RuPaul’s Drag Race Live! Untucked continues to be a popular show among fans of the franchise. The spin-off series is available for streaming on WOW Presents Plus, giving viewers a behind-the-scenes look at the lives of their favorite drag queens.
In conclusion, Derrick Barry’s candid revelation about her experience working with Trinity K. Bonet serves as a reminder that even in the glamorous world of drag entertainment, conflicts and disagreements can arise. As fans continue to enjoy the performances of their favorite queens, it’s important to remember that behind the sequins and glitter, real people with real emotions are putting on a show.
