Heidi N Closet, the beloved drag queen from RuPaul’s Drag Race season 12, shocked fans when she announced her departure from Allstars 8. In a recent interview on Roscoe’s, Heidi revealed that the pressure was getting to her and she didn’t feel noticed by the judges. While drama with Kandy Muse and Kahanna didn’t help, Heidi made it clear that they were not the reason for her departure.
It’s no secret that the competition on Drag Race is fierce, and the pressure to perform can be overwhelming. For Heidi, this pressure was compounded by the fact that she didn’t feel like the judges were giving her the recognition she deserved. Despite her incredible talent and charisma, Heidi felt like she was constantly being overlooked.
But it wasn’t just the competition that was taking a toll on Heidi. She also had a lot of unresolved family issues that were weighing heavily on her. And in the midst of all this, she wasn’t taking care of herself the way she needed to. It’s a reminder that even the most confident and talented performers can struggle with mental health and self-care.
Of course, drama with other contestants never helps. But it’s a testament to Heidi’s character that she didn’t blame Kandy Muse or Kahanna Montrese for her departure. Instead, she took responsibility for her own mental health and well-being.
Will Heidi return for another Allstars season?
Heidi stated that she would definitely consider coming back for another shot at the crown. However, she emphasized that she would only do so if she was mentally prepared and in the right headspace to compete.
Fans of Heidi N Closet were understandably disappointed to see her leave the competition. But ultimately, her decision to prioritize her own health and happiness is something to be admired. And who knows? Maybe we’ll see her back on the Drag Race stage someday, even stronger and more fabulous than before.
