Jinkx Monsoon Responds To Comments About His Weight: My Body Is Not For You To Comment On

RuPaul Drag Race winner and All-Stars 7 competitor Jinkx Monsoon opens embarrassing comments online.

Jinkx Monsoon lived up to its "water off the back of a duck" motto when it received criticism from Drag Race Judge RuPaul. But comments fans make online? That's a different thing.

The season five champion-one of the winning queens currently competing in the all-winner season of RuPaul's Drag Race All-Stars-opened the online Drag Race fandom on PopBuzz and acknowledged the experience was "quite close."

"I don't want to sit here also pretend I'm having a hard time because I loved so much over the years, also I think the loyalty of my fanbase is why, almost ten years after filming, I'm back. Season 5 of Drag Race," Monsoon said in a Monday video shared on the Outlet channel. "But for Virgo, who is very sensitive and very anxious about OCD, I am affected by many things."

For example, Monsoon cites comments she hears from online viewers about her weight.

"My weight has not to do with the things I'm good at," says the artist, who identifies as non-binary and prefers the pronouns she/nya in drag and she/she in non-drag. "I am a singer, actor, and comedian. There's nothing in a singer, actor, and comedian job description that says you must be weak. But for some reason, people like to comment on how my body has changed over the last decade, and I don't think that should be part of the discussion.

When people say, "But you made a choice, you chose to enter this arena" - yes, I chose to be an actor; I don't vote for trolls on the internet to comment on my weight," explains Monsoon.

Since then, they've become one of the show's most successful stars - with multiple albums (including 2014's The Inevitable Albums and 2018's The Ginger Snapped), several presentations for women, documentaries, and even notable streaming credits for BenDeLaCreme (Hulu's Jinx and DeLa Holiday Specials). ).
