Valentina also received supportive comments from her Drag Race sisters Kylie Sonique Love, Detox, Bosco, Amanda Tori Meating, Jewels Sparkles, DeJa Skye, CoCo Montrese, Tammie Brown, June Jambalaya, Manila Luzon, Naysha Lopez, Shea Couleé, and Jaida Essence Hall.
The brunette beauty previously came out as non-binary in 2019, telling Out Magazine: ‘I don’t completely feel like a man, I don’t completely feel like a woman. I feel like a goddess. I feel like I’m my own gender.’
Valentina had only been doing drag for 10 months in LA nightclubs when she was cast in the ninth season of RuPaul’s Drag Race, which aired in 2017 on VH1.
The Mexican-American star made Drag Race her-story when RuPaul stopped her lip sync against Nina Bo’nina Brown early because she initially refused to remove her face mask (years before COVID-19).
And while Valentina ultimately landed in seventh place with only one challenge win under her belt, viewers voted her Miss Congeniality for season nine.
