"They didn't air this, but I told RuPaul to send me home,"
"I was so naive, and I was legitimately struggling, and I had made a comment that ethically [ RuPaul's Drag Race] could not use [on air]. I said: 'I am freaking out, I haven't been to a meeting, I am really struggling.'"
"I just wanted to go home, I hadn't been to an AA meeting in six weeks. That was very difficult."
"I was a year and a half sober, for the first time, so that was tough. I was unraveling."
Katya asked RuPaul to send her home during the final episode of season seven while struggling with sobriety and anxiety. She experienced a panic attack in the Werk Room and had not attended an AA meeting for six weeks during filming. A harsh critique on the mainstage and an inability to hide her distress left her embarrassed and admitting she could not fake her sobriety. Katya had been sober for about a year and a half at the time and described herself as unraveling. She later sought treatment in 2024 and postponed a tour to focus on recovery.
