‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’: Hershii LiqCour-Jeté Thinks Rate-A-Queen Offered ‘More Shade Than Fairness’

The first eliminated queen of the season also talks about being a parent, her wild lip sync performance, and why Drag Race contestants don’t necessarily need to know how to sew.

Performing in a high-energy, all-out lip sync to Ava Max’s “Maybe You’re the Problem,” both queens gave it their all, but only Geneva was permitted to stay. Below, Billboard catches up with Hershii about performing in the ball challenge, speaking about being a queer parent on national television, and why she felt that the Rate-A-Queen system lended itself to “more shade than fairness.” I wanted to say, before we get into the episode, that it was so cool to see you talking about being a parent and how that affects your view on anti-LGBTQ legislation trying to limit children’s interactions with queerness.
