Breaking down the drama between Bob, 'Drag Race' fans, and Nehellenia

RuPaul's Drag Race season 8 winner Bob the Drag Queen has been at odds with fans and queens of the series since sharing rather negative opinions on non-U.S., All Stars-esque spinoffs like Global All Stars and Versus the World. The intense back-and-forth — which now spans several days — has also involved queens like Angeria Paris VanMicheals and Nehellenia.
On Thursday, May 15, the Sibling Rivalry podcast shared a new episode in which Bob and guest cohost Naomi Smalls recapped the grand premiere of All Stars 10. During the episode, Bob urged queens to "say no" to international All Stars seasons, which led to an epic feud between Drag Race fans and queens from non-U.S. franchises.
Now, Out breaks down the latest Drag Race discourse between queens and fans — which started as a discussion about the cast size of All Stars 10 and turned into a worldwide feud about Versus the World spinoffs and the continuation of Global All Stars.

The Sibling Rivalry coverage of All Stars 10 has started with a bang. This season, Naomi Smalls joined Bob the Drag Queen as a cohost in the Sibling Rivalry podcast — filling in for Monét X Change as she hosts the franchise's official recap web series, The Pit Stop, in 2025.
This particular Sibling Rivalry episode recapping the first episode of All Stars 10 started out with praise for the new "Tournament of All Stars" twist. However, Bob noted that the format could potentially run its course too quickly due to its large cast size. If All Stars 11 were to maintain this format, Bob argued, it would mean that two season of All Stars (each with 18 queens) would burn through 36 queens from one year to the next.
"You really run the risk of exhausting your All Stars pool" of potential competitors, the season 8 winner explained. Jacob Ritts, a producer on Sibling Rivalry, chimed in to say that other shows that include alumni, like RuPaul's Drag Race UK vs the World and Canada's Drag Race: Canada vs the World, would also contribute to this potential issue with casting.
Bob agreed, and brought up returning queens who do back-to-back regular seasons, like Vanessa Vanjie in seasons 10 and 11. Even though this hasn't happened for a while in flagship U.S. seasons of Drag Race, Bob recalled that Kornbread "The Snack" Jeté wanted to compete in another regular season before doing All Stars.

This is the beginning of the rest the mess.
On Thursday, May 15, X user @KINA2_2 shared a clip from this Sibling Rivalry episode (as seen above) that started right in the middle of Bob and Naomi discussing Kornbread's potential return onto the show. Bob's understanding was that Kornbread declined an invitation to All Stars, but Jacob — Sibling Rivalry producer — alleged that Kornbread seemingly declined doing a season of Versus the World, not that she had declined a U.S. season of All Stars.
Nonetheless, Bob reacted to Jacob's clarification by sharing negative opinions about queens who accept the invitation for non-U.S. All Stars-esque spinoffs.
"I would never… Let me tell you something right now: Any queens, if you're being offered Versus the World, say no," the season 8 winner started. "We have to stop them from even offering it as an option. If you all just keep saying no, they'll stop offering it. There's no way you would ever convince [me], and I know I won Drag Race…"
"We all know," Naomi replied, teasing Bob and making the two of them laugh. "We all know."
Bob continued, "But if I was [season 4's first-eliminated queen] Alisa Summers, you could not convince me to do a Versus the World.

"What about Global [All Stars]?" Naomi asked.
Bob replied, "No! Even worse! Even worse."
"See, for me, I just want… I'll do whatever is there," Naomi said, acknowledging that factors like lower viewership than U.S. seasons could impact her decision.
But Bob wasn't convinced, "You would not accept a Versus the World. Stop lying, bitch."
"What if the prize was a million dollars?" Jacob asked, off-camera.
"OK, I'm back in," Bob instantly replied.
Naomi asked, "What if it's $500,000?"
"No," Bob answered.

While some fans agreed (or at least understood) Bob's perspective, a wave of non-U.S. queens and fans felt insulted by Bob's point of view. That pushback has gotten the clip to cross 3.1 million views on X as of this writing, and an intense debate in the worldwide Drag Race queendom was carried through the weekend.
The original poster of this viral clip wrote, "I don't understand why being so harsh on a platform showcasing amazing non-U.S. and especially drag artists that aren't from English-speaking countries? Have you seen Marina Summers? Nehellenia? etc. And if those stop existing, including Global, where are we gonna see it?"
Besides reaching 3.2 million views, the original post has accumulated 5,000 likes and hundreds of exchanges discussing Bob's remarks.

"'Where are we gonna see it?' Baby, go to a drag bar," Bob wrote in her first response to this Drag Race controversy.
x.com
Another X user shared a similar opinion to the original poster, asking: "How would you see the drag cultures of so many countries outside the US by going to a drag bar in the US?"
"Wait until you find out about YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram," Bob replied.
x.com
A Drag Race fan commented, "Bob this is a weird hill to die on."
"Girl I don't like the fucking show. Y'all have to get over it," Bob replied.
x.com
Another X user responded, "Love u Bob, but because [you're] An American queen [you're too] good to be around the ones that are not from USA to do a TV show? Explain queen maybe I understood wrong."
"You got all of that out of what I said?... Interesting," Bob wrote.
x.com
New responses kept coming to this X thread, including one that has since been deleted.
"Girl shut the hell up," Bob replied.

On Saturday, May 17, the temperature of this discourse rose slightly when a fan told Bob to "just own an opinion without being xenophobic" — prompting the Drag Race winner to write a longer statement in response to that allegation.
"Xenophobic?!?! Sometimes the Drag Race fandom is the very definition of 'go touch grass.' Y'all have truly lost the plot," Bob wrote. "All this because I said I wouldn't compete on [Versus the World] or [Global All Stars]. I've also stated that I wouldn't even compete on an all-winners season. When you boil 'xenophobia' down to 'Bob said she wouldn't compete on Versus the World,' the word begins to literally mean nothing."
x.com
An X user argued, "It was not you would compete, you said even if you were Alissa Summers, you wouldn't even answer the call for Versus the World and you want them to stop making it that got people pissed. Literally no one even expects you to be on Versus the World or Global, you are obviously above that."
"Honestly. I still stand by how funny that was," Bob wrote in response.
x.com
Another fan chimed in, "The backtracking here is insane [crying emoji] cause what you ACTUALLY said was 'Even if I was Alisa Summers, I would NEVER go on a [Versus the World] season.' And you also said no U.S. [queen] should EVER accept the invite to go."
"The Alissa part was funny and I stand by that," Bob replied. "I said NO queen should go on. I beg of you to find the clip where I specifically said that 'no U.S. queen' should do it. I'll wait… No please take your time. I'll just be waiting here."
x.com
A half hour later, Bob wrote another X post into this thread that read, "Still waiting over here. Been 30 minutes already."
x.com
After an extended period of time and a few new responses, Bob circled back to the X user who had claimed that Bob was urging U.S. queens to say no to Versus the World and Global All Stars.
"Okay, it's been about 6 hours, and you haven't found the clip of me saying that no US queen should compete. I'm just going to assume it doesn't exist.Meanwhile you were too busy at work, but had time to tweet and retweet 38 times. Yes, I counted, because I do have the time. Just admit it. I made your day. This was the highlight of your day. You texted all of your friends and said, 'I'm in a Twitter fight with Bob the Drag Queen' and they gagged. They rushed over to check and see. Some of them even had to redownload Twitter after swearing it off just to see the main event of your week.I'm going to go ahead and leave this conversation alone, but tbh happy that you're fighting for your life in the comment section. Frankly is what you deserve. Be well. Or don't. I really don't care."
x.com
Angeria Paris VanMicheals, who won All Stars 9 and entered the Drag Race Hall of Fame last year, re-shared the original post and chimed into the discourse:
"I actually told my best friend that if I didn't win All Stars 9 and was asked to do UK vs the World or Global, my answer would be 'yes.' I wanted a new experience. Competing with non-American queens sounds so fun to me."
Bob replied, "BOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!"
x.com
Nehellenia, a queen first introduced to fans on Drag Race Italia who made it to the grand finale of Global All Stars and became a new fan-favorite within the franchise, also entered the discourse as someone who could literally speak about how beneficial that opportunity was to her.
"TV shows like [Global All Stars] or [Versus the World] not only give the opportunity to drag queens who otherwise could not have the same visibility on a global level," Nehellenia wrote in her first X post. "[To] show the public how artists with different backgrounds and styles can compete together, proving to have the same talent…"
x.com
"…and sometimes even more than American artists," Nehellenia added. "Try to do what you do in a language that you do not master perfectly! Why denigrate something that tries to praise the art of drag instead of supporting it? Why take away value from something so humanly and artistically unifying?"
Nehellenia concluded, "Every drag is valid… some ideals instead are not."

Pierce Brosnan Talks ‘MobLand' Finale, James Bond and Who Sophie's Real Dad Is in ‘Mamma Mia!'
[This story contains major spoilers from the season one finale of ] Even in prison, Conrad Harrigan remains the kingpin. More from The Hollywood Reporter Idris Elba on His Dyslexia, His African Cinema Vision and Doing "a Little Bit of Everything" 'Maxton Hall' Season 2 to Premiere in November, First Teaser Revealed ABBA's Björn Ulvaeus on Writing a Musical Assisted by AI and Those Kiss Avatars: SXSW London Following the penultimate episode of MobLand when Maeve (Helen Mirren) and Conrad (Pierce Brosnan) were arrested for murder and heading back to prison, Conrad receives a warm welcome to end the first season of the Paramount+ crime thriller. The last scene in the finale, which released on Sunday, showed all the prisoners cheering for him, as he's now earned the respect of criminals in the mob world. In an interview about the season one finale, Brosnan told The Hollywood Reporter that scene was 'a cinematic homage' to the 1968 film The Italian Job and filmed in the former prison Reading Gaol; he said being in the 'powerful Victorian tomblike presence' where Oscar Wilde was imprisoned 'was quite memorable.' While his status professionally still holds up from prison, knives are cutting deeper in the Harrigan family. After Kevin Harrigan (Paddy Considine) found out that Conrad didn't know that the real rat of the family was O'Hara (Lisa Dwan), instead of Archie (Alex Jennings), and that Kevin's son, Eddie (Anson Boon), is actually the son of his dad, Conrad, he loses all respect for the Harrigan leader and threatens to take over their world. The finale is packed with more pivotal moments, like when the clan's biggest enemy, Richie Stevenson got killed by Kevin, the potential new leader. But the big cliffhanger came when Harry, the Harrigan fixer played by Tom Hardy, accidentally got stabbed by his wife during an argument in the kitchen — ending with Harry sitting down acting all cool, calm and collected. Below, Brosnan discusses the finale with THR, while also talking about the future of James Bond — saying Hardy would make a 'wonderful' lead — former discussions about a Remington Steele revival and revealing that he does, in fact, know the answer to that Mamma Mia! dad theory that's been lingering for years. *** There are moments in when Conrad expresses more empathy than others in the Harrigan family — like at Tommy's funeral, when he and Maeve react very differently. Do you think there's a softer side of Conrad that we don't see? Most certainly. This is a man who comes from a very broken background, one more than likely of abuse, sexual abuse, violence, self-loathing … fearless, courageous. He's a sentimentalist as well. He's Irish. He loves the old gargle — the gargle being the booze. He's filled with great humor and passion and deep pride in being an Irishman, but he's also a father and someone who has a pride in that and what he's done by his family. So I think there's a softness to him. There's a human core of emotion that's mixed with brutality, which he can't control. He's definitely unhinged. There were times when it looked like Maeve and Conrad's marriage might crack. Do you see that ever happening? Or do they have to stay together for business? Oh, I think they have to stay together. These two will go down together. I really don't know where it's going to go. I have no idea. I have certain images and sensations of the character, which are very violent images because the violence is what makes it so intoxicating and it comes out of nowhere. And they're all like these bottled spiders that are so toxic of nature and we love 'em for it. (Laughs.) Why did Maeve and Conrad sing together when they got arrested? It is a big 'F- you' to the establishment, to the British, to the coppers, to the law enforcement in England. They're Irish, they live in the heart of the Cotswolds. They have money. Nobody comes close to them. So they know they're going to get out, and they like it. They've been inside before. Conrad's done time. He knows that world. He knows how to control that world within the confinement of prison. By the end, Kevin and Conrad's relationship seems irreparable. Do you think that's the case or could they salvage it? I'd like to think we will salvage things. I haven't seen the last episode [yet]. My wife and one of our sons who was staying with us watched it the other night. He was going back home to L.A., and Keely, my wife, said, 'Wouldn't it be wonderful to get the company to send us a link [before it airs]?' And they did, but we couldn't make it work on the TV. I have absolutely no idea how to do mirror [viewing]. So I will watch when it releases like the rest of the country. [Note: We spoke before Sunday's episode aired.] Well, I didn't see it coming that Harry would get accidentally stabbed by his wife. Is he going to be OK? And if Harry ever does die, how could the Harrigans manage without him? I don't think Harry is going to die. Harry is the backbone of the piece. Without him, I don't know if Conrad or Maeve could function. He holds so many secrets and has such an insightfulness to each person. But we waited as the season rolled on when we were filming; we as actors would not know where it was going. I never spoke to Guy Richie or the writers about what direction we were going to go in. So every time I got an episode, it was a revelation to me who was still in the picture, who was still standing. What shocked you the most? Richie going out of the picture. I love Geoff Bell. He's such a magnificent actor and character. Brendan, my son, getting topped, getting his head locked off. Daniel Betts, who played the character Brendan, he and Tom Hardy and I were taught by the same teachers. So I was looking forward to hanging out with Daniel a lot more. But then his character disappeared. The final scene shows all the prisoners cheering on Conrad. Can you talk about why it was important to end the season with that scene and what it meant to you? Well, it meant that I'm still alive, and I'm still alive for a second season. It's a great homage to Conrad, but it's also a cinematic homage to The Italian Job, which is a film Michael Caine made and Noël Coward played the kingpin. In the film, you'll see Noël Coward come down to the gantry in the prison being applauded by the prisoners. We shot it in Reading Gaol, the last torturous, humiliating place where Oscar Wilde was a prisoner for two years in hard labor. It's a powerful Victorian tomblike presence. So, it was quite memorable to be filming there on a dank, cold Thursday afternoon. We rehearsed the scene; Conrad comes out of the cell; he's not sure if he's going to be attacked or thrown off the balcony, and they applaud him. He lives again. I said to Anthony Byrne, the director, 'Why don't we crank out the stone sympathy for the devil?' So we played that music and the place just erupted. Tom Hardy : 'The plan is definitely to see more seasons' ofHave there been more discussions about that? What would you like to see next for Conrad? Yes, we have spoken about that and I would very much like to see more seasons. There's a lot of life (laughs) and death within this family and these storylines. People love these kind of characters, especially when they're so beautifully rendered by playwrights like Ronan Bennett and Jez Butterworth. And when you have an ensemble cast like we have, which is so strong, so powerful. Of course, I would like to go again for a second season. I honestly haven't given much thought of where I would like to see Conrad go. I just have images, vague sensations at the moment. It was a very intense shoot. Guy Richie called me last July here in Hawaii, where I live, and he sent me the five episodes by Ronan Bennett, I said, 'Yes,' and I just jumped in. There was no one else on the ticket. Helen and I were working that summer on a show called Thursday Murder Club, which is coming up, and she said, 'Are you going to do MobLand?' I said, 'Yeah, I want to do it. I want to come home to England. I want to see my family here. I want to work in London.' And she read it and she said, 'I'm in.' So that was wonderful. Then who's going to play Harry? And Tom was the man. Then come November, it took off and we had five months of really intense filmmaking. So you were never quite sure where the story was going, who was going to live and who was going to die, and that was rather exhilarating. Your take on 007 is timeless and so many people have connected with that franchise and are excited for the Who would you pick to play the next Bond? I have no picks. I shall leave it open to the powers that be. It's a very exciting moment in the history of James Bond. Now that Barbara [Broccoli] and Michael [G. Wilson, former franchise producers] have relinquished the reins of it. How do you think your co-star Tom Hardy would do? Oh! (Laughs.) Tom would be wonderful. There's so many great actors out there who could portray this character. I have no idea who, I have no idea. I wish whoever it is great success. Toi toi toi. As studios and networks are now keen on revivals, have you ever given thought to or been approached by execs for a revival? They have brought it up in discussions, yes. Nothing's been done about it. So I've left it's just sitting there. I know you've said that you're ready for . Could you end the debate and share who you think Sophie's biological dad is? I think you'll have to wait for the next movie. I think leave that one right there. I know who it is, but I don't want to be a killjoy. *** All episodes of MobLand are now streaming on Paramount+.

Trump Launches Punitive Biden Probe, New Travel Bans, But Still Silent On Elon Musk's 'Kill Bill' Attack On Agenda
Amid a dust-up with ex-bestie and top donor Elon Musk, Donald Trump has lashed out at Joe Biden and foreign nationals, again Bellowing 'Kill Bill' online, with some Quentin Tarantino in hand, the recently dethroned Musk has turned on Trump's spiteful and spendthrift 'Big Beautiful Bill,' so it's no surprise the White House occupant tonight is suddenly looking to shift focus to old foils Biden and travel bans to take control of the narrative. More from Deadline Paramount-Skydance Watch: Wall Street Analyst Increasingly Concerned Deal May Collapse Elon Musk Uses 'Kill Bill' Meme To Urge Lawmakers To Reject Donald Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" List Of Hollywood & Media Layoffs From Paramount To Warner Bros Discovery To CNN & More — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) June 4, 2025 Just days after Trump reposted on social media that the man who beat him in 2020 was 'executed' five years ago and replaced with 'clones doubles & robotic engineered soulless mindless entities,' POTUS late Wednesday inked an memo on 'Reviewing Certain Presidential Actions' as well as shutting down travel to the USA from a dozen nations, including Iran, Afghanistan, Yemen and Burma. In public appearances and online Wednesday, Trump has sad nothing about Musk – a fellow frequent poster. Going after the cancer addled Biden and emphasizing tales of the 46th president's 'serious cognitive decline,' Trump's memorandum seeks 'an investigation into who ran the United States while President Biden was in office,' as an accompanying fact sheet says. All of which can be read as an attempt by Trump to potentially overturn vast swaths of his predecessor term, from pardons to executive orders and more. 'In recent months, it has become increasingly apparent that former President Biden's aides abused the power of Presidential signatures through the use of an autopen to conceal Biden's cognitive decline and assert Article II authority,' the memo to Attorney General Pam Bondi and other aides says with a straight face 'This conspiracy marks one of the most dangerous and concerning scandals in American history. The American public was purposefully shielded from discovering who wielded the executive power, all while Biden's signature was deployed across thousands of documents to effect radical policy shifts' Flooding the media zone as he often does when under attack or politically damaged, Trump tossed rancid red meat at the MAGA base and nervous members of Congress with a travel band on 12 countries and 'partially restrict and limit the entry of nationals' from seven other nations in the service of stopping terrorism and 'other national security and public safety threats.' Reminiscent of the 2017 'Muslim Ban' of Trump's first term, the nations fully banned for the 'entry of immigrants and nonimmigrants' are Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen. There are a couple of extenuating circumstances on the bans like letting in people 'whose entry serves U.S. national interests.' Whether this would include stopping the likes of Iranian It Was Just an Accident filmmaker and recent Palme d'Or winner Jafar Panahi from coming to America for awards like the Golden Globes and the Oscars is unclear The seven countries now under a partial ban are Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, and Venezuela. Not unexpected based on statements and executive orders Trump made in the early days of his second term, the bans today come as a response by Trump to the horrific antisemitic Molotov cocktail attack this past weekend in Boulder, Colorado by immigrant Mohamed Soliman, White House sources spun to the line is easily undermined by the fact Soliman, whose family has been rounded up by ICE and were set for deportation until a federal judge stepped in Wednesday, is Egyptian. The recipient of American military sales and more, Egypt is not among the banned countries. Still, the Boulder attack was a rational for the latest Travel Ban that Trump himself stated in a video posted by the White House tonight. "We cannot have open migration from any country where we cannot safely and reliably vet and screen… That is why today I am signing a new executive order placing travel restrictions on countries including Yemen, Somalia, Haiti, Libya, and numerous others." –President Trump — The White House (@WhiteHouse) June 4, 2025 In the chaos of the dust-up between DOGE pals Musk and Trump, a new book and new political affiliation by former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and the validity of government economic data, the breaking news of the new travel ban was ignored by the partisan Fox News and MSNBC, while CNN alone of the domestic cable newsers provided scant coverage. The BBC went more in depth on the ban, but no one turned to the Biden probe. MORE Best of Deadline 'Nine Perfect Strangers' Season 2 Release Schedule: When Do New Episodes Come Out?
