'Celebrity Drag Race’: Loretta Devine ‘Devastated’ After SHOCKING Elimination
"Drag Race" is back! This time, it's celebrities that are competing with each other. However, there's a major twist as the contestants' identities will not be revealed until they got eliminated from the lineup.
WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD
The first episode of the second season finally aired last week and RuPaul had already given one queen the chop.
Unfortunately, Emmy Award-winning actress was the first contestant to be eliminated and reveal her identity to the judges— Michelle Visage, Carson Kressley, and Ross Matthews.
The 72-year-old star spoke to People Magazine to share her experience, saying she was very excited to be one of the cast members, but the show left her "devastated" as she was the first one to depart the competition.
Devine performed a song by Mary J. Blige and she admitted that her dancing skills aren't as good as anyone else, but she knew that lipsyncing is her forte.
However, when the time came and she was standing on stage along with other contestants, it was hard because people around her disappeared, meaning they were safe and only two queens will remain to lipsync for their lives.
"it really is hard as you see people disappear around you. You go, 'Oh God, I'm still here and they're going!' You see it on the reality shows all the time but when you're the last on the stage, it hurts!" she said.
Did Loretta Devine Enjoy Her Time on 'RuPaul's Secret Celebrity Drag Race?'
Elsewhere in the interview, Devine reveals whether or not she enjoyed her time on the show, saying she'd do it again in the future.
"I'd do it again, if Fabulosity could do it sitting down!" she said, referring to her drag name. However, she clarified that it was scary for her but exciting.
Speaking about her look, Devine said it was "extremely dramatic" as she didn't recognize herself after putting on heavy makeup, a big wig, and a costume.
"I didn't look like myself to me. When they finished with me, it was an absolute surprise. It was Fabulosity! That's what it was - it was not me!" she added.
Even though her time on the show was cut short, the actress is looking forward to performing again in future projects as she's also a theatre actor.
"RuPaul's Secret Celebrity Drag Race" airs every Friday evening at 8 p.m. ET on VH1.
