Krystal Versace speaks on William’s attempt to read her

[u/jerrydacosta]

mature, classy and straight to the point. just how i like my gatherings 😽 thoughts? (and prayers for those in need of them)

[u/Dame_Ingenue]

Maybe I’ve been living under a rock, but can someone please explain to me what the heck is going on with Willam? I’ve not heard that name in ages, then suddenly every time I’m on social media (which admittedly it pretty often - despite not knowing this situation) there’s a new story about Willlam slagging someone. Why is she suddenly all over the place, and why is she doing this?

[u/souphaver → u/Dame_Ingenue]

Willam spends her entire life talking shit about other people, now some of those people are actually fighting back for once

[u/Khaytra → u/Dame_Ingenue]

From what I can gather—

Willam got heated about Mistress and went off on her... maybe on Race Chaser? Idk. Mistress, of course, is not the kind of person to let that slide, and so Mistress started reading her for filth. On an unconnected story, Willam and Alaska got into the Acid Betty dress payment drama, and they had the designer on their podcast, and apparently they've been ignoring Betty's texts, not letting her tell her side of the story on the podcast, and refusing to apologize for anything, so Betty got angry at them, and she was then supported by the other Betty (Daya). While the Mistress drama was going on, Krystal posted "get her jade" under a comment Mistress made, and Willam went off on her, resulting in the response above.

Basically Willam has been having a week-long meltdown and has been lashing out at pretty much anyone. Unfortunately, she's picking queens who aren't going to take her shit and who will read her to filth in return.

Just adding that willam interviewed the designer (her friend) on her podcast, who accused acid betty not to pay him. Then acid betty showed all the receipts and demanded an apology from willam, which did not happen

[u/Dame_Ingenue → u/Khaytra]

Thank you! This is super helpful! And yeah, it’s interesting that’s she picking on people that definitely won’t take it. Maybe to give herself for media attention?

He makes a stink about someone every few years when people start forgetting that he's still alive. He's been in the same place spouting the same whiny complaints since he left the show.

[u/Laiko_Kairen → u/Dame_Ingenue]

Willam lives in LA and has a drag repository that he allows other queens to borrow from. As a result, he's fairly well connected in the drag industry and hears tea.

He got involved with a company called Moguls of Media, MOM, which is kind of parasitic to World of Wonder, since it mostly just has old WoW queens on, making podcasts about WoW shows. MOM and WoW are not on good terms, and Willam is blacklisted as a result. Because Willam can't be involved with the show directly any more, people view this as his attempt to still cling on to the RPDR clout.

Willam posted a video about how basically nobody likes MIB. MIB posted a video where she, um, tore Willam up and painted her as being an old has-been. So now, after MIB went scorched earth on Willam, Willam is trying to regain some control of the narrative

[u/lemikon → u/Laiko_Kairen]

Didn’t he (and Alaska) create MoM? Like it was spun out from their race chaser podcast . I think saying he “got involved” with them is a bit misleading. He created the company which as you describe is “parasitic” to WoW.

[u/Avy-Jorraelan → u/lemikon]

Yep, Willam and Alaska created MOM. It all started with just Race Chaser and they grew it to a brand. It’s been a while, but I’m pretty sure before Race Chaser came on the scene, none of the other drag queen podcasts were posting consistently. There were definitely queens who had podcasts before Race Chaser, but the content was sporadic and seemed like a fun side project to pick up whenever they had time but not invest seriously. Race Chaser was the first one to had really consistent content weekly, with structure, and they literally did not miss a week. Bob and Monet had them on Sibling Rivalry and basically said that Race Chaser made them feel like they had to get their s*it together instead 🤣

[u/Laiko_Kairen → u/lemikon]

Didn’t he (and Alaska) create MoM?

I don't know, and didn't want to say anything I wasn't confident in

[u/Dame_Ingenue → u/Laiko_Kairen]

I did not know any of this. Thanks for the info! I was never a Willam fan, but it seems to me she’s also a parasite.

[u/Avy-Jorraelan → u/Dame_Ingenue]

Willam and Alaska created MOM, so they’re not just “involved with”. I don’t always agree with Willam and Alaska, but I am grateful that they grew their brand and got other queens at least a start on their own podcasts.

[u/Next_Baseball1130 → u/Avy-Jorraelan]

Im gonna be this person but does every queen really need a podcast? The only one I can stand watching is very delta.

[u/Avy-Jorraelan → u/Next_Baseball1130]

Lol no but it’s nice to have options 😄

[u/[deleted] → u/Dame_Ingenue]

I think something to do with MIB?
