Willam, a star from RuPaul's Drag Race, stated that her scenes in A Star Is Born were initially cut. After receiving disappointing news while attending a wedding, she later learned that Lady Gaga had fought to retain the scenes featuring drag queens. Willam expressed gratitude for Gaga's support, emphasizing her role as an ally for the LGBTQ+ community. Fans praised Gaga for her commitment to advocating for the inclusion of drag performers in the film, reinforcing her status as a gay icon.
‘[In] A Star Is Born, we all got cast, and then we did the hair and make-up test, and then we got cut. I was at Tom Daley's wedding and between the rehearsal dinner and the ceremony, I get a text saying 'Terrible, terrible news, all your scenes have been cut'.’
‘A week later, they called and checked my [availability] and they said 'OK, it's back in, because Lady Gaga fought for our inclusion of the drag queens in the movie’. Thanks Gaga, we love you!’
