Warning: Sickening spoilers ahead for RuPaul’s Drag Race: Global All Stars.
We did it kids; the latest Drag Race spinoff, Global All Stars, is over. The dust has settled, Alyssa Edwards has finally snatched a crown and the world has been introduced to some international superstars.
Drag Race Italia‘s Nehellenia, who was the only member of the final four of the season to not have first competed on a RuPaul-fronted franchise, became the a favourite for the crown in the final weeks of the competition according to social media support.
But Vanity Vain, who placed sixth on Global All Stars and first competed on Drag Race Sverige, has claimed at a viewing party that Nehellenia was “different” off camera.
In a viewing party of the finale, which was originally posted on X/ Twitter by user @braignai, before being removed and reposted to Reddit, Vanity can be heard discussing Nehellenia’s behaviour, intimating that she was a lot more shady off camera – but that she loved it.
“I don’t do all that I tell you like it is directly,” Vanity said in the clip. “Before… the brain thinks, the mouth just starts to run.”
Then, Vanity claimed, “I love her, but Nelly does have another side to her when the cameras are off, so I’ll just leave it at that.”
In a since deleted post on X, Nehellenia responded to Vanity’s claims about her behaviour on set of the Drag Race spinoff.
“So… different viewing party different version?” she asked.
“Vanity I love you, but how was I different out of cameras [sic]? It’s a serious question, because I would really like to understand how I had such a different side to what has been seen.”
Vanity has since responded to the Reddit video, writing that the clip was “completely taken out of context”.
She added, “I referenced to a thing I said earlier that is not in the video. I said that Nelly is a very shady queen – which I LOVE!… I love Nelly, there is no hate here and we both have talked about this already.”
Nehellenia won one challenge during her RuPaul’s Drag Race: Global All Stars tenure, but was still most fans’ top pick for the crown.
Kween and Nelly also had a scuffle earlier in the season during Untucked, with Nehellenia calling Kween a “bully” on an Instagram Live after the episode was broadcast. Kween later told Nehellenia to stop “exaggerating” stories.
Global All Stars had a generally rocky reception with Drag Race fans, with many claiming the primarily English-speaking girls were favoured throughout.
RuPaul’s Drag Race: Global All Stars is available to stream on WOW Presents Plus globally, as well as MTV and Paramount+ in the US and Latin America.
