The self-proclaimed “Elephant Queen” in the room is through being ignored.
“No one really wanted to be part of Eureka: drag queens, fans, anything.
I was in a dark space.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Eureka!
I’m so sorry to see you go.
I think you’re going to be fine, though, right?
EUREKA:I hope so!
I think we’ll all be fine.
I mean, you’re getting those HBO checks…
That’s what people keep saying, theseHBO checks!
I’m like, can you send me one?
Everyone swears we’re millionaires because we’re on HBO; I get paid $2.15 per episode.
Was there kai kai going on in the hotel?
Contrary to popular belief, Iama sex magnet!
Trinity and I have a special relationship.
It was a moment we shared.
There are details, but, mama, I don’t kiss and tell!
Wait, so the “details” continued after filming?
Oh, Josh is my bae forever.
Don’t get it twisted.
I need you to tell me if you’re just gassing up the whole studio on set.
I’d eat lunch and then I’d wait.
They’d be like, “Eureka, when are you going to get ready?”
And I’d be like, “You know I have to use the bathroom first, girl.”
Maybe I was a little gassy because I have to prep: I poop and paint.
I eat, I poop, I paint.
There’s nothing like transitioning from talking about your on-set lover to bowel movements.
It’s a subjugation of my divinity: It’sveryDivine!
Outside of that, you showed off a real maturity.
I didn’t have to stress or worry about her anymore, I just had to miss her.
Losing her was a weird element of self-discovery.
I came back ready as a human.
Well, Eureka is no longer faking it, and she’sdefinitelymaking it.
You’re doing her proud.
What was that energy like in the room in the moment, this time around?
Did you have any idea that Pandora felt that way?
Their pain is not my pain or responsibility.
I think she was intimidated.
I think the jokes weren’t landing and that’s where the shrinkage came from.
Pandora and I are fine.
She texts me periodically, she calls me her lesbian lover!
You’ve taken so many lovers!
I told you, I’m a sex magnet, girl!
These kids don’t know how to take it.
When you love yourself, people want to love you, too.
I enjoyed the shots of you rolling around on the floor to cut your costume on this episode.
You deserve a crown just for that.
Bitch, that f—ing fabric was the worst to work with and cut!
And then, like, mermaid sequins, what did I do to myself, ya’ll?
It’s a good look!
It’s an incredible gown!
I did so good.
I was so proud of it.
I thought I was going to win, but I thought I was going to win every week.
Did anyone just barely make it to the stage on time?
I mean, everyone, honestly.
We were all down to the last minute because everyone wanted to put any and everything on their garment.
We were ready to battle, and we fought for it.
You didn’t get bad critiques.
Was that the intent?
Absolutely, that was 100 percent my intention.
Fear is what halts progression, so I had to go in unafraid [of facing the past].
That was the point.
I wanted to be fearless in this character.
I missed a lot of it and didn’t get to sit in the moment.
But, this time I did.
I lived every moment, so it was important to show myself that I could do this.
I wanted to win.
I wasn’t aware of how I was reacting on social media and things like that.
I also wanted to regain the respect of my sisters and fellow competitors.
I wanted to show them that this is who I am.
Honestly, I kind of became the black sheep after season 10.
No one really wanted to be part of Eureka, drag queens, fans, anything.
I was in a dark space.
We didn’t get to see who you voted for.
I was trying to do my own, but they wouldn’t let me!
I don’t know, I don’t remember who I voted for.
It’s kind of a haze.
I literally was on two hours of sleep, bitch!
I was barely making it at this point.
Trinity voted for you!
How did you feel when you found out?
Were there any voting alliances between queens this season that we don’t know about?
I don’t know, really.
For me, maybe not voting alliances, but I was really close to Ra’Jah.
She sat close to my heart.
I was never going to vote for Ra’Jah, personally.
I was never going to vote forGinger, Kylie, any of them.
No, Kameron don’t care!
Kameron don’t love me.
[Laughs] No, Kameron is cool, just like, “Whatever, girl!”
Did you have any words with Kameron after the season about how it all went down?
She told me how much she loved me and she appreciates me.
She thought I looked beautiful, she was just hyping me up!
It seemed to be an earnest question.
Did youreallythink Madame LaQueer was in the gig?
[Laughs] I don’t know!
I was just saying!
But,couldit be Madame LaQueer?
Ooh, I just wanted to say her name!
I love her so much.
She’s so slept on!
She’s so funny to me.
Here we go, bitch!
And, of course,We’re Hereseason 2 is coming up.
I want to be in TV and movies.
I want to be a serious actor, like Divine!
Eureka gave me my fame and I just want to be taken as a serious actor, darling!
My whole life is a show.
I want to continue the success that Divine paved for me, mama.
