I'm so happy to call Tina a true friend now. And I know that she feels likewise about me. We have our reputations, this and that, but I really see Tina for not only what she can do, but who she is. We obviously knew what the other one was capable of. We have such a tangible level of respect for each other, which is what we were avoiding before the season. I saw Tina the other week, and our relationship is completely different. We talk all day every day, and it's great conversation.Īnd getting to a place of friendship with Tina Burner was cool to see. I don't know if there's been a group of finalists on a season before who clearly are just enamored with each other. To really have undying support, especially at this part of the competition at the end, we've talked about that. Published on : 20:58 PST, FOLLOW Denali Foxx didnt get the role she wanted on RuPauls Drag Race Season 13 but she found a famous fan in Anne Hathaway (Getty Images, denalifoxx/Instagram) It is no secret that a lot of celebrities love RuPauls Drag Race (as they should). But I can't believe how many very, very close friendships I have attained from this group of girls, and that's just the best, because drag is really hard to do, and you need support and you need help to do it. I was like, " Baby, I did not come here to make friends, mama!" It was an honor and a thrill to have been able to do that in addition to why I was really there. I really meant what I said on several occasions throughout the season. Seeing the bonds that this group has made, what does that mean to you? The sisterhood of this season seems on another level, and I can only imagine being in the COVID bubble contributed to that. Still got those COVID protocols in place. Looking back at your journey, what's the biggest lesson you learned about yourself? The judges were just living for the b**ch, and so were we! So, then to have gotten that surprise double win, I was like, "Oh, I'm crashing Symone's party tonight, baby!" It was definitely a turning moment to be on the same level all of a sudden as, at that point, the frontrunner. It was like Symone just ascended into heaven. We were watching it like, "Damn, Symone did great." In the moment, I can't even describe to you what it felt like in the room. And listen, on TV, I'm telling ya, it was Symone's night. They can really goop and gag you on those episodes in other seasons I've seen. It was fabulous for me to have achieved a win a few episodes prior for the Rusical, for several reasons, of course, but the branding challenge? That is tough. Denali, who competed on RuPaul’s Drag Race season 13, told We Got This Covered she grew up in a Christian household where she was taught her queerness would send her to hell. Or inside the can, because I feel like the soda-branding episode was your aha moment. So, it would mean the world to prove that to myself and to everybody else, especially because it took the world a second to catch onto what was inside the bottle, baby, but it's delicious, right? I think you could win," and I've always thought, "Maybe I could win." But through the struggle and growth that I had to endure during filming, I really, really realized towards the end, I was like, "I can win this." And I can win this. I've heard people tell me for years, "I think you could do really well. I've always dreamt of being on Drag Race. Listen, this crown to me means so much more than I ever thought it could.
