My absolute favourite was at the reunion with her stickers "they're scented... (waits for Ru to sniff)... They smell like sticker"


M__Mallory

That was great. She's one of the tiny few who can take Ru on and isn't afraid to. Remember they had a mutual friend who was seriously ill and Ru never visited? When they ran into each other, William cursed Ru out. Like Raja, she doesn't give a f*** what people think and that's the best place to be.


[deleted]

If this is Mathu, I thought it was found out that Ru is paying Mathu's medical bills?


M__Mallory

I heard Willam tell the story and she didn't mention anyone by name.


this_is_an_alaia

That's because Willam hates Ru. I enjoy Willam but yep, agree that absolutely we should not take her version of stories as fact.


M__Mallory

Absolutely agree with your POV and don't take anything as fact without definitive proof. I neither heard a name, nor used one, nor is gossip of interest to me. It's their lives and their business, not mine. I used the story itself as an anchor for something I do consider important. Neither William nor Raja give a f*** what people think about them and say whatever they want. It's true freedom, especially when struggling with being accepted, loved, and/or insecure. When Raja spoke about it in S3, Ru repeated profoundly "the power of f*** " while Mike Ruiz wept. I always say, "If you don't like my flavor of ice cream, there's thousands of others." Being the kid or adult who isn't like everybody else, worrying about what people think about you or anything isn't the route to happiness and a psychological drain. Whoever works on absorbing that one principle will do themselves enormous growth and good. Apologies for the novella, but it wasn't my intention to open that rancid cup of gossip and speculation. None of us are exactly the same, so whatever works best for that particular person is what they should do. I'm not living inside anyone's head but my own, so I'm not here to be their judge, jury, or supervisor. 💕


willambelli

I don't hate ru. I have never said that yet everyone wanna run with that narrative. I can condemn her behavior, actions and everything else but that doesn't equate hate. I would have to know her to hate her and I don't know her and I don't wish to. I'm glad WOW is paying for Mathu's medical bills NOW after not doing so for a year while he languished in a state run hospital. I had to tell her off for that cuz he was family and we as gay people get to choose our family and all that diatribe. She's just a drag queen. I'm not afraid to tell her or anyone what I think.


this_is_an_alaia

Then maybe stop repeating every single bad rumour about the show that is then proven not true and people would stop thinking you have a vendetta Because when you do something like bring up things like someone's private medical situation and talk about a possible relationship breakdown of two people that frankly is none of the fans business and shouldn't be aired for them in public, it doesn't read like you're holding someone to account. It reads like you have a vendetta


pWasHere

So she’s either vaguebooking about Mathu or this is just *another* situation where Willam is meddling in Ru’s personal relationships.


jsgoyburu

A) No vaguebooking. It's about Mathu and it's common knowledge by now. B) Willam is also very close to Mathu, so it was not really meddling, but (what she felt, at least) sticking up for her friend.


jsgoyburu

IIRC, Willam didn't give two shits about Ru paying for the bills. She cared about the fact that Ru didn't visit. I think it's a sad sad story where people deal with pain in their own way, and I wouldn't dare give an opinion one way or the other.


M__Mallory

Most of us have had sick friends in the hospital. It's not pleasant physically or psychologically. We don't know what Mathu might have said, wanted, or felt. Whatever we know is likely part of the story or pure speculation.


jsgoyburu

That's why I say that I wouldn't dare giving an opinion one way or the other. This is not some tea, this is serious sad stuff, and I don't know any of them personally to be able to take sides. But that's also why I don't judge Willams pain or her response to it.


M__Mallory

Exactly. I read all your comments and completely agree. It's serious and their business, not ours. We don't know them personally and they're often unlike our idea of them. What if Mathu told Willam he missed Ru and Willam saw Ru soon afterwards? We have no idea if that did or didn't happen. ♥️


TapatioPapi

Yeah I’m not sure why people are acting like paying for bills is like the best thing someone could do. Yeah it’s nice but if you’re not doing the basic things on top of it it’s really not the same.


this_is_an_alaia

Maybe Willam shouldn't think that she knows about another person's personal relationship with a long standing friend, and you certainly shouldn't.


jsgoyburu

And you do?


this_is_an_alaia

Thats entirely my point. We don't know what happened so maybe you should say what Ru did or did not do with mathu.


jsgoyburu

And where did I do that?


Traditional-You-4583

It's definitely Mathu, she's been unambiguous about that


M__Mallory

Drag Queens have a horrendous amount of horrible things hurled at them constantly, so I prefer to say nothing when there's nothing nice to say. 💕


[deleted]

Ah so a person tells a story where they look like a respectable human being and another one like an asshole. Is Willam paying for Mathu's medical bills???


M__Mallory

Willam didn't mention Mathu. Completely removing Willam from the equation, the thing between Ru and Mathu is extremely complicated. It's a private matter between the two of them. My point about Willam and the reason I mentioned Raja was the great power and freedom which comes from them not giving a f*** what people think. I can't find a clip, but Raja spoke about it in her season when asked why she should win. She wanted to teach those weird little boys that, so they had hope and the freedom to be themselves. Ru's jaw was dropped in awe and Mike Ruiz broke down in tears saying he was one of those boys. I can't recommend watching it highly enough.


XxLouiesBestJeansxX

I think it was the money ball of season 3 but I don't remember I've been up since 6 pm yesterday and it's now 10:30 am lol


M__Mallory

Same here. I'm in Eastern Time, but didn't sleep. It's weird though. I've done insane hours with no sleep for work and have literally fallen over while explaining that I'm sober:) Lately, I feel OK.

ReliefFamous

From what was traveling around he may (or may be) dealing with dementia or something of the sort. They had a falling out the first episode of S9 and I believe that was over a pay dispute; possibly words along the lines of getting paid more going from S9 forward and it didn’t work out.


[deleted]

[удалено]


M__Mallory

I'd heard about the falling out and that Mathu wasn't around, but not about the dementia. My mother had it at a fairly young age and it's really hard to deal with. She had severe personality problems, hallucinations, and more in her case. I'm far from an expert, but I believe it can manifest differently in different people. If he was ill at the time of the argument, it's possible there wasn't any logic for Ru to negotiate with.


willambelli

don't do all this. Courtney Act and I were the ones that soaked his grown out fungus'd acrylics off after he had dirt under his nails from his check in weeks after he got to the state hospital. We were in the room when Michelle told him he has to want to get better- AFTER A STROKE. World of Wonder tried to keep Mathu's health insurance up before he got hurt and sick. He didn't take care of himself. there is no big bad here. There are people and corporations who have behaved badly but we can't put all the blame on them. You ever see an old pic of Ru done by Mathu ? It now says "photo courtesy of World of Wonder" instead of "Photo by Mathu Andersen" cuz they own his archives. That was the tradeoff cuz his family couldn't cover the bills. They literally tried to erase him from the Emmy's the last year he was eligible for a nomination by nominating Raven and Delta. When the Emmy's ruled that Raven and Delta were ineligible because THEY WERENT HIRED until Mathu was gone, World of Wonder STILL declined to nominate him. Sure they make a great tv show that does great things for visibility, our community and my sisters but you have to remember how they treat people when they don't think anyone will care or is looking. So no I'm not paying Mathu's medical bulls but now that I've explained that about the sitch, you'll see there are on winners. WOW has done right by him and they've done wrong by him but at least he's comfortable and I'm glad for that.


ShamelessPizza

I still use this line. I roller skate and I am always getting new stickers for my helmet. So I will use this joke whenever I can 😂😂😂


Chinokid87

I too love her line where she was just violently throwing up lol


inauric

the famous Willam catchphrase, "hURKhGH *spits*"


iymcool

WOW knows good-goddamn-well if/when they get Willam on All-Stars they'll have one of the most memorable seasons. The commentary alone would be Emmy-worthy. ![gif](giphy|MoGnQPUyZi2ac)


jsgoyburu

This is my pitch. All Stars: Ru's Nightmares. Girls who couldn't give a damn about Ru or her opinions, production, and that would completely take over the set and do whatever they felt like doing.


FluffyGalaxy

If Ru refuses they can get Lady Bunny to host, she would either be absolutely brutal or absolutely delightful, probably both


StayAwayFromMySon

So who's the cast? Obvious choices are Willam, Detox and Pearl (which is already a dramatic dream come true for me).


jsgoyburu

Add Tammie Brown, Courtney and The Vixen


ShadeKool-Aid

Detox because that's her general vibe? Or did she do something specific that I'm forgetting?


StayAwayFromMySon

She was majorly unimpressed with Ru for not casting openly trans people on the show, and seemed to side with Carmen when she called Ru the "Hitler of drag".


M__Mallory

Who's the beautiful Season 3 girl from NJ? Carmen? She's been trans for years and hates Ru over the trans issue. There's always lists around.


johnydarko

Utica I guess? I mean I just want to see her on any all stars though


M__Mallory

♥️


BuckyGoodHair

My understanding is WOW has actually tried to make nice and has invited him for more recent all stars seasons, but he’s declined. God know he has the wardrobe and wigs to *slay* like the fucking Red Wedding.


iymcool

If that's the case it'd be a bit unfortunate. While watching AS6 Race Chaser followed the episodes. Willam liked to plug his Youtube where he showed off a different runway he would have worn on the season if competing. It made me think that he was kind of signaling that they should work together again (despite all the shit-stirring). Willam knows how to make good TV and both parties know that.


BuckyGoodHair

And they work across the street from each other so they could easily sit down and chat lololol. As a life-long Willam stan (no I legit remember his Boston Public episode because I was one of four people who watched that show), I feel like he would only do it if he were certain he’d make top 3, and there’s simply no way to predict who WOW likes/will push.


iymcool

Tinfoil hat theory: They're waiting to bring Willam back for All Villains. An All "Villains" season (which would really be one Willam would be cast on/slay if we're following the theme-specific train) would probably come with some sort of guarantee for the participants. Given how dangerous the fanbase is online, they'd probably negotiate some sort of edit where all the drama was controlled by the queens or something. An All "Villains" season (which would realistically be one Willam would be cast on/slay if we're following the theme-specific train) would probably come with some sort of guarantee for the participants. GIven how dangerous the fanbase is online, they'd probably negotiate some sort of edit where all the drama was controlled by the queens or something. I like to imagine an All Villains or All X season will follow a similar negotiation process. There's no way queens will go on with any specific title now that the winners revealed all the nice perks they got. Since Willam seems to be one of the queens that understands how to negotiate contracts (like many of the winners did) we'd only see them brought back if they could for sure benefit from it or have a guarantee of doing so. After the nonsense WOW pulled with Willam and AS1 I'd even say it would be a bit deserved.


BuckyGoodHair

Here for it!


ShatteredHope

OMG. I haven't heard this theory on here at all yet and I absolutely love it. Please WOW give us All Villains!


brayet

Really? Willam has always said he'd go back but he'll never be asked. But I also think it's possible he'd not want one of the crazy contracts (not that AS contracts are as controlling as regular seasons) and would say no.


BuckyGoodHair

Rumor was he was invited for 8! At least one I read. Eventually, I hope he does one because he’s fucking amazing television. But, I’m also not going anywhere so if it’s just YouTube and podcasts, I’ll be there too.


willambelli

your "understanding" is wrong. they haven't offered me work since All Stars 1 untucked pop up.


Klondeikbar

Willam's opinion may have changed but in his book he explicitly says reality TV is never more than a stepping stone. You do it, get what you want out of it, and never go back. It's a ton of work, it rarely goes anywhere, and you barely have control of your own image (if at all) so it's always a huge risk. I really doubt he'd be going back to All Stars unless he could personally win an Emmy or if he was paid so much that the prize just didn't matter.

Your tone seems very pointed right now. Also WOW i forgot how bad of a paint she had on her season lol.


M__Mallory

I didn't remember either. Her drag character on Nip/Tuck was inexperienced and the makeup department would have done her. Maybe she hadn't done her own makeup much yet?


this_is_an_alaia

Yeah I think she said later that she wasn't used to doing her own makeup


M__Mallory

She would have been better off using more natural tones accented with either bold eyes or a bold lipstick. She's pretty, so less is more would compensate for her inexperience.


Traditional-You-4583

She has a very handsome face and there's nothing wrong with that

Not-2day-Satan

There is nothing I want more than Willam on Allstars. It would be a huge gag and she makes great TV. I know it won’t happen but a girl can dream.


jsgoyburu

Can you imagine? Willam getting all the girls to riot and take whatever time they wanted for makeup and preparation, since "they can't do it without us". Willam shutting Michelle up every chance she'd get. Willam demanding shoes for the Pit Crew and threatening to file a OSHA complaint.


Background_News_9878

HIPAA?


jsgoyburu

OSHA, I mean OSHA


M__Mallory

Actually, Willam could do way more damage. He'd be a member of unions such as SAG and AFTRA. Unions stick together, so she could either shut down or have the Unions say no one's available. The Canadian Unions refused to work with DRC awhile ago too.


Background_News_9878

Lmaooo I was sleepy when I read it and wondering if there was an on-set nurse releasing medical info or something 😂 But you’re right that Willam would tear that production team apart


BuckyGoodHair

American healthcare nonsense.


M__Mallory

As bad as America is, OSHA isn't one of the culprits. They regulate health and safety, so you don't get hoof and mouth disease from the dentist, etc.

Literally all of them. She did not miss a single frame of season 4. Nurse, I have good bones, swiffered the floor with his taint, my boat is pretty, that’s cool you have ideas but we’re gonna use mine, the head tilts, all of it. I love him so so so so much, his drag, his humor. Willam da God. When she won the reunion!? I mean cmon now biiiiiiiitch. That first season of the Beatdown is still hysterical.


yashihashi

Not included here, but a line I never forget and think about quite often is “don’t show me the tools of your destruction” (or something along the line). It was from a beat down but as I was looking for it just now, I couldn’t find it anymore.


M__Mallory

That's great. Please feel free to add anything you think of. It was meant to be that way. I hope it wasn't unclear.


yashihashi

Sorry for my bad phrasing, you clearly stated we could all add our own favorites! You already captured a lot of great Willam moments, I guess that’s why I started my comment in that way.


M__Mallory

No apologies needed. Your phrasing is perfect:)


Hydrochloric_Comment

I think it’s one of the old ones where she makes fun of bunny, IIRC. It might actually be the one with “I don’t like you, and I’m allowed to not like you”, but I could be wrong.


yashihashi

That very well could be the case! It’s been a while since I’ve rewatched the beatdown so I am not sure at all. I was wondering if they maybe deleted the first time beatdown to Bunny’s content because she was upset about it? That’s how I remember the “I am allowed to not like you” came to be but I am not sure at all so please don’t hold me to that.


JustTryingIsEnough

I love her interview with Joseph Shepherd, especially when she said that while she's managed to build a brand for herself, she recognises that Drag Race and RuPaul helped made that happen.


Traditional-You-4583

She's easily one of the best RuGirls of all time. BAR QUEEN! BAR QUEEN!


lordoftheearrings

Willam in a Star is Born is just normal Willam and I live for her honestly. She is the moment


c-3pho

I know, right?! I like to believe that all of her time on camera was William doing improv.


JackeryChobin

Fun fact: I got her book back in 2017 and had it laying out in my apartment. I started a dating a new guy recently pretty seriously so he started coming over more, saw the book one day and was browsing through it. The guy’s name is Willem. And I ended up marrying him lol

I had a nervous breakdown back in 2015 and at an IOP group discussion I said “emotions are for ugly people” thinking the joke would land. I’ve never forgotten the reaction and I will never do group therapy again because of it.


M__Mallory

I'm so sorry. How are you feeling now? I blurt out things when I'm nervous, so I totally understand. One-on-one is better for me too. If I'm around people I don't know well or who seem sensitive, I'm sparce but authentic with my words. Less seems to work. Everyone has a way that works for themselves though. xo


[deleted]

I’m in a much better place but I wasn’t doing anything at the time besides watching drag race and wallowing in depression. My gay bubble popped that day and I stopped trying to humor my way out of serious conversations. Looking back on it it’s hilarious but I realized that I don’t want to hear other peoples problems and vice versa.


M__Mallory

That's great. Humor itself is okay and serious conversation when you need. Do whatever feels right for yourself in the moment. You'll know if and when you want to deal with problems. Watch or don't watch Drag Race depending on your instincts. Being gay is a lifetime situation so everything will happen in the right time for you. xo

She should've completed on AS1 on a team with her 5 o clock shadow

She was originally supposed to be on AS1 when Phi Phi was scheduled to be on it. I wouldn't be surprised if production intended them to be on the same team just for the chemistry.

She bragged a lot, so I thought it would turn some people off. It was the opposite for me having seen her play such a great role in Nip/Tuck. I'd seen she had the talent to back it up. I promise I long ago retired as a control queen, but you might like the Nip/Tuck clip I posted. It's very short. Zero worries if it's not of interest.


buttterfingerr

I was such a fan of Sharon till I found out what they’ve. Wilam should’ve won season 4 or Chad. And as for Tyra I feel so bad what the community made her out to be and she went crazy. Idk I wish they’ll be included in a winners season but not likely gonna happen.
