‘Drag Race’ Star Raja Responds to Violet Chachki, Gottmik After Booting Her Look
"RuPaul's Drag Race" season 7 winner Violet Chachki and season 13 finalist Gottmik found themselves in hot water after "booting" Raja Gemini's look in an episode of "Fashion Photo RuView." Today, the "All-Stars 7" contestant finally spoke out and shared her true feelings over the fiasco.
Many previous contestants and fans were disappointed with the two fashion queens when they didn't like Raja's outfit in episode 1 despite the queen being a legend on the runway.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the crowned winner of season 3 revealed that she enjoyed "a big spoonful of my own medicine being shoved down my throat" when Violet and Mik gave her a "boot."
In case some fans forgot, Raja previously hosted the show along with Raven in past seasons.
The "eye-con" explained why she was okay with her look being booted, saying the online fashion review series "isn't real" because it's based on two people's opinions.
"I know that for a fact that, when it's Raven and I, usually I'm pretty stoned and just kind of rambling. It doesn't matter, it's just two people and we are not the law, nothing is carved in stone, it's all lighthearted and fun," she added.

Raja on Winning Her First Legendary Legend Star
Five episodes in, and Raja just won her first legendary legend star along with Jinkx Monsoon after the graduation speech challenge.
In the interview, the drag performer said she's blaming it on the edit but in a good way. Many fans were frustrated that Raja didn't win the ball challenge, but she explained that "frustration builds up in reality TV."
"There's a bit of sensory deprivation that adds to the angst and frustration that inevitably creates drama. It was a bit evident there," she said.
The 48-year-old drag artist also mentioned that she was exhausted at first because of her age and got frustrated at some point, but her efforts were paid off because it was recognized, leading her to win a challenge finally.
In the last episode, RuPaul revealed that the two winners would receive two legendary legend stars, one to keep and one to give to another contestant.
The recipient will be revealed this week when they return to the werk room.
As of this writing, Yvie Oddly is the only one out of the eight contenders who doesn't have a star yet.
