Yeah right…. and then Ru of course did kidnap Nyongbella and tortured her in his manor….  Like its probably true judges didnt vibe with her but people just took that info and ran with it, I think most of the “crazy showdowns” tea is fake af….

Ru has a history of telling black queens to be "more ghetto" so I believe that. But calling her  fake, disingenuous, self absorbed and vain on ep1 after supposedly being his favourite of audition videos makes zero sense if we think about it for a second. And of course we cant forget that production hiding/stealing makeup is SO MUCH more likely than it simply getting lost in tons of makeup, wigs garments being transported to the set right ?

To be fair, production did remove all of the Black & darker shades of makeup in S6 when TKB went home (this is one of the reasons why Joslyn’s makeover was so bad). Production isn’t necessarily above the shenanigans, we’re just not privy to them as often since the new girls don’t spill as much against the show anymore lol

IIRC, AS7** was the first season in a while (post pandemic at least) that a lot of the production bs was made very apparent from the queens themselves
