valentina's tiny voice when she was saying how she probably still has an eating disorder :( I just wanna hug her and make sure she's okay
She's still not congenial
@@bernardsoul5186 what does that have to do with this comment?
@@lauren6992 it's an inside joke for those who have seen the reunion. Apparently it's too inside for you
@@bernardsoul5186 probably i haven’t finished the season lmao
@@lauren6992 well do that before reading the comments, or you'll get spoiled
I really love that Sasha has gone from having an eating disorder to being able to say that she is proud of her brain, and that she's proud that she's smart and doesn't put such a high regard on being beautiful and thin anymore. That is growth from a strong character that I wish I could have seen when I was younger and dealing with the same issues. On top of that, my regard for Eureka has grown tenfold the moment she decided to be the better person and apologize, which is something rarely seen on drag race. As much as we like the drama and the queens who won't back down from what they say, it takes a lot of courage to approach the people you've hurt and tell them you're sorry.
this!!! body neutrality is the best way to combat an eating disorder and body dysmorphia- she said it so beautifully. Love her
As an anorexia sufferer, I hated Eureka last episode. But the fact she acknowledged what she did and was a big enough person to apologise sent my respect for her through the roof!!!!
there was a joke there but I won’t joke about that
@@luciano6967 sasha approves I’m sure
As soon as Alexis said “oh sweetheart” I started sobbing
Shea's voice is so pleasant to listen to.
Let's talk about Sasha's doe...
Winter Møøn Sashas voice😍😍
Sasha needs to do asmr.
Sashea needs to do asmr
drag race needs to be an hour and a half... it feels too rushed this season
Superman Batman it should be live (lol jk)
David Cuellar Girl shut yo dumbass up
Dillon K this is one of my favorite season because they had talk about a lot of important stuffs. I find it very therapeutic
Well you got your wish
now that it is 1 hour and a half theres a commercial every 8 seconds😂😂
Drag Race: *praises Violet Chachki for extreme corseting*
Drag Race: *criticizes Adore for her hog body*
Drag Race: *says body dismorphia is horrible*
What Violet does is downright dangerous. Shouldn't someone be concerned for her health?
+Alli Likes Cookies Research corsetry. There are health risks, but that's why she's waist trained for so long. Look up Mr Pearl.
Violet does it safely though. He did things prior to it so it WOULDN'T be dangerous. He's fine af. As long as he doesnt try and be slimmer.
I totaly agree with this. The whole corsetting... I don't agree. Sure, padding because they're emulating females... But not all females have tiny, tiny waists like that. Honestly I thought that was roo far. Body acceptance where?
someone fun :D It’s part of Violet’s drag, she’s not praising this kind of body type this is just her style
The way Valentina looked at Sasha HURT ME. Because I know EXACTLY what that look means. It’s the look of seeing someone say exactly what you’ve been needing to speak up about but not having the courage. And realizing that it’s okay to speak about it. This out take made me fucking cry. I wish they would’ve kept this in. The fact that 3 queens in the same season spoke up about having an ED proves how common yet under represented eating disorders are. It could’ve helped so many people.
This is exactly why you shouldn't joke about serious stuff like this especially to a group of people you just recently met so you know nothing about them or their struggle
Exactly
As a recovered anorexic, Eureka’s words hurt me too. But I’m glad she apologised properly here.
honestly it was hard for me to get over that. i appreciate that she owned up to her mistake but it was just such an awful thing to say in the first place; she definitely had to earn back my respect
mad respect to eureka for actually apologizing+addressing the issue and not sticking the blame or making excuses for her actions.
Ohh the Beauty standards in the Gay community..
Castiel Black it's fucked up man
absolutely. body shaming is so ingrained in us that it bleeds into every community... i think eating disorders and diet culture are doing to well bc they profit off of people's fears of being bigger and being treated worse for being big... it rly sucks how great beautiful people are pushed to unhealthy eating by standards that dont even care if ur actually doing well or not.
Supreme of Shade 🆘 not even just in the gay community, it’s in the social media community
It’s not inherently gay or social media, there pretty always has been standard of beauty, before it was thicker, now it was smaller, different reasons behind each but all in order to other someone else that doesn’t look like the standard in vogue
@@pgyall This year, I became single for the first time in almost 7 years. In those 7 years I dealt with the death of my mother and my best friend a week apart. They never tell you how grief and stress can PERMANENTLY change your metabolism. I gained 100lbs in less than a year, and while I was almost unhealthily thin then, I'm considered medically overweight now. I don't *look* too heavy, just "unfortunately shaped". In my own words, I'm pear/Roger Smith shaped. I've done really well since COVID to watch what I'm eating and to get some exercise, and I've lost about 20lbs since I was at my heaviest. But dating now is an absolute train wreck. I've been told that if I had more hair, I could pass for a bear or cub and be okay looking. If I was shaved dolphin smooth, I could be a good chub boy. I've been told my body is "disgusting", or "unfortunate", or "disappointing". I tried every diet my doctor told me to over the last few years, and what one thing is taken away, something else is too much. I don't even eat much, or eat too unhealthy. But I'm constantly shamed in the community. Or oddly fetishized, where guys want to get me fatter. Some guys have used it as a way to manipulate me, thinking I had lower confidence. I've literally had a guy tell me that he could do whatever he wanted to me because it was "obvious I let myself go". My ex never even noticed I gained weight. He was more focused on my personal growth after losing almost everyone I loved. It sucks because I know I'm a good person, and I'm worthy of love and I'm worth getting to know. But no one in my own community, it seems, will even allow me to try.
I'm not a fan of Valentina, but my heart goes out to these queens with the eating disorders. 😞
Talk about selective editing.
Lol this is from the new episode.
Oh sorry I thought it was from the last one.
Nick Ducote you're simply stunning 😘😍
This reminded me of a joke me and my closest friends made where we made up a like disorder called "selective hearing" and its like "sorry i cant hear you I have selective hearing" lmao
Although I feel terrible that Valentina is still struggling, it's nice to see someone being represented who is currently struggling with something. Idk, I just feel like all the time when people open up about stuff like this, it's always "I struggled with this, but I'm better now and everything's great." And although you're happy they are doing better, when you're struggling with it, it can make you feel almost inadequate for not overcoming it yourself yet.
The pause each of them took before saying what they were struggling with was too real 😭 especially Valentina revealing she still felt like she was force feeding herself broke my heart. I'm so proud and grateful for Eureka for being humble and admitting that mistake. Her doing that opened up this conversation and let the queens get a sense of community and support that I don't think would have happened otherwise
"this is rupauls best friend race"
The 'oh sweetheart' got me in tears
Sasha is so entrancing... even her voice draws me in! I love Valentina and Shea as well! Ugh those three really are my favorites! ❤️😍
I love how Valentina is so focus on the competition, like, Eureka is there, talking to her about something important and she's like "Yeah, girl, apologize accepted, now let me finish my make up" lol
This was such a beautiful moment of how vulnerable drags are ..sure we see them as fierce personas but they're human too and this just touched my heart ❤️
When Valentina's voice cracked my heart broke!
It's been said before and it'll be said again: but it's so important to see men talking openly about eating disorders
Eureka is CLEARLY the better O'Hara, it takes strength to apologize openly like that and own up to your mistakes, unlike a certain other queen with that last name. Good on you sweets
Olimaru101 apparently no relation to phi phi
Yeah she's not related to Phi Phi. So same last name....just a better version of O'hara 😛
All y'all are wrong the only O'Hara worth recognizing and stanning for goes by the first name of Asia. The best O'Hara out of them all to be quite fucking honest Eureka can get wrecked as far as I'm concerned and we don't even acknowledge Phi Phi around these parts.
We only stan Asia in this house. Fuck Eureka’s dumb, naive ass.
@@MondeTriste1 i think they said this comment before season 10 premeired sooo
It's RuPaul's Best Friend Race.
If this was the thought behind getting rid of the tic tac lunch then I understand.
This really made me so emotional,i thank this Queens for sharing their stories, it just made realize that am not alone in struggle with eating disorder. Thank you Sasha, Valentina and Shea. There is hope.
Henry ow other queens (Aja) shared their struggles with Eds too, but it was not included in the episode. I just wanna make sure people give her a lil thank you as well :)
why would they edit this out?????
They didn't. It's from episode 5.
demon boy they didnt lmao tf you mean?
This is in the episode on Netflix
Triggering
hearing valentina talk about her disorder really makes me wanna cry, i can't help but feel like i relate, and having her say that so openly really touched me
i'm literally crying as soon as they started talking about their ED struggles.
I LOVE VALENTINA MORE THAN ANYTHING
Sam Rivera I love Valentina too❤️
Honestly Eureka was awesome even if she did come off as an asshole at first. Can't wait to see her back for season 10
She's going to slay. If she had stayed, she probably would have been top 4 instead of Peppermint, or top 5 instead of Alexis at least.
WHERE WAS THIS IN THE EP I feel awful about misjudging Eureka.
this is from the new ep
Zahra Hussain ME too- this is the second clip that has made me really love Eureka even more!!!
Zahra Hussain don't feel bad, everyone rushes to make judgments... it's part of our genetic makeup and social media has amplified it! Just take it as a lesson for next time, watch without judgment. I'll be doing the same thing.
Zahra Hussain Learn not to judge so quickly.
Wait was this not in the episode, it was in the pirated one I watched on RUclips
At least Eureka was MAN enough to go for apologize his sisters ...
P .Ajr woman*
Wtf
This is so important and I am so glad drag race has spoken about important topics such as eating disorders, attacks in our clubs, HIV etc. This conversation hit home a lot for me and i'm just very glad this wasn't edited out or skipped over!!
I swear to god this is the most friendliest season ever and it's heartwarming.
These three queens are literally my favorites in the entire competition
I’m so glad that this person apologized for their bullying. Passive aggression is not good when it comes to people’s diseases or disorders !
It was really a touching moment for me to see my idols talking about such a sensitive subject like eating disorder, especially because I'm dealing with it since I was like 13 years old to be honest and I still can't tell I'm 100% ok now. It's an on-going battle for me, so I'm glad they've opened up about their experiences and shared their stories. For all the people struggling with eating disorder: don't give up and fight for your health
And then we got Meghan Trainor as a judge lol , Tragic
This is one of the reasons this show is so powerful. To be able to bring to light these horrible diseases and to encourage finding a support system.
Really respected Eureka for doing that. So glad she got to top four.
This is why Drag Queens are my Real Life SUPERHEROES !!!! 💕❤️
As a sufferer of this, I'm happy it's addressed. I feel like Drag Race indirectly promotes eating disorders and makes fun of weight, skinny...fat...hog body...ect...ect....As somebody who has this deep-rooted problem, seeing really skinny gorgeous queens walking down that runway made me stop eating. I wanted that 24-inch waist, and when I finally got it, I wanted it to be smaller. My mindset was, well I'm 5,6 and the drag queen is 5,7 so I should have a smaller waist than them.
Fun fact everyone in this scene still with us is doing better now and are no longer suffering from disordered eating
That makes me so happy to know
My question is, why is it wrong for Eureka to crack a skinny joke, but during the reading challenge it was totally okay for them all to crack on Alexis’ weight? And when she got upset she was overreacting???
There's a difference between the situations of "Hey, can I talk about a sensitive subject with you all?" and "Let's be shady and laugh at each other."
@@ReunionMana Okay, but it's still a joke... Could be delivered in the wrong situation but it's still a joke
also alexis doesn't have a disorder
I think it has more to do with the situation. In a reading challenge, with all those cameras, they knew they’re gonna get read. That’s the point, and Alexis wasn’t a great sport about it. In Valentina and Sasha’s case, they weren’t performing. Valentina wanted to share a vulnerable moment with the queens but Eureka had to go there. Overall just a bad timing. Sasha even tried to settle it with her but Eureka immediately victimized herself. So good for them that she apologized, that was nice.
@@luxusmode111 They're drag queens. They read each other all the time...
Beautiful.
Why is it ok for Valentina to joke about Eureka’s weight in the first episode, but not for Eureka to make a joke about hers?
I felt for sasha and shea specifically bc in middle school, I was embarrassed to eat in the cafeteria, I wouldn't eat at school sometimes and I would binge eat as soon as I got home. It took 5 years for me be finally comfortable eating in the cafeteria, but fell apart again senior year of high school. Always know you have people to talk to even if they dont understand.
Why are people complaining about this being edited out of the show when it was definitely in an episode?
It is awesome to see the beautiful magic that can happen when people open themselves up and listen to one another.
I feel so happy that other drag queens would come out having an eating disorder and support each other any way they can 💝💝
y'all this is for tonight's episode, it even shows a flashback to the previous episode in the beginning, stop getting it twisted
I cry during this, i never imagine that so many of us in the gay comunity had eating disorders, I know i had one, and omg it was reat to hear it on television.
"Can I tell you guys about one of the disorders that I have " WHAT
My heart sank when RuPaul said nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.
Like thanks, I know. Didn't need the reminder.
Having an eating disorder is a giant struggle and challenge. These queens are very strong for being able to do what they do and to be open about it.
All those ppl are fucking stunning. I love that they felt so comfortable to talk about this. STAY STRONG💜💚
Shea's makeup is so flawless in this video.
es muy conmovedor que tuvieran esta conversación, eureka hizo las cosas bien al disculparse y gracias a que acepto su error las otras queens también pudieron sentirse un poco más cómodas para hablar y compartir sus experiencias. Esto muestra que las queens si pueden cambiar y mejorar
I have been preaching about men struggling with eating disorders for the longest time!!! I absolutely love Shea she's the big sister we all need!!
So true about eatingdisorders i the gay community and the big issue is that you easily slip back into it.
this is one of the most important conversations had in the competition
4 years and "i promised my mom i would eat every single day" still breaks my heart 💔
Valentina looked like William in the thumbnail 👀
I️ can definitely relate especially right now in my life, Valentina was so right saying I️t does t just exist in women. As of right now I’m struggling with body image, and I️ feel like Euraka was so mature and considerate she’s definitely somebody I️ look up to and Sasha and definitely Valentina (well I️ already have so)
Can I just say how much I want to meet a drag queen so badnot even just to talk just to say hello and to say thank you you are such a gorgeous creature all of you and you guys are amazing thank you for entertaining me with you and your craziness and your happiness and your struggles thank you
Aw Valentina big hugs
I’ve never seen this clip, it’s so awesome
Eureka trying to be the Saint queen of the season, what a surprise!!!!
I think it's heavily ironic that this clip talks honestly and sensitively about eating disorders, yet ends with ru making a joke about binging.
you dont make sense at all
This was the conversation that we needed to have
Thats why I love the show for breaking barrietrs and bringing touchy tpics to life and make them VISIBLE
i do applaud eureka for apologizing. was it wrong? yes. did she handle it well after? yes. but the vulnerability that sasha, shea, and valentina had was beautiful to watch.
I can't tell you how much I love this 🙇❤
Knowing that they didn’t always give queens enough money for food while on set makes this even worse.
This is so current. So important.
All my heart goes out to all the queens 💖💖
This is so heartwarming because I have eating disorders and I needed this because i felt like I eat like a pig because I eat when I’m pissed so yea not a dry eye
Sasha waited all week to tell her story.
This video almost put me in tears...
Sheas and violets voice is so good. It’s like Latrice; velvet.
la temporada nueve es tan hermosa y una de las mejores, realmente la disfruté mucho. están las mejores queens, tocan temas como éstos q seguramente ayudan a cualquiera q lo necesite en el mundo y amo eso, also valentina te amo
loved everything in this episode! I skipped the whole Kardashian thing though cause who cares
DAMN the editing is so fucking shady. I still don't love Eureka though.
+luna wtf dude if we dont like eureka get over it, its our opinion, why are you being so rude? smh 😑😑🙄
This was from the latest episode (Kardashian musical)
This scene really concerned me because Willam had already stated previously how producers didn’t always respect cast dietary restrictions. So I’m genuinely concerned for cast members who battle with eating disorders when the health and diet of the overall cast is not a priority concern!
don't joke about that
sheas knowledge is so beautiful
This was touchy to watch because I’m currently battling anorexia and to see some people relate is touchy
"strong, beautiful creatures"
Valentina
God I love season 9
It's so sad to see so many struggling and it's overlooked 😪
I cried..love this..
I think this is for tonights episode?
Strong beautiful creatures yes
VALENTINAS SOFT VOICE WHEN SHE SAID SHE HAS THE DISORDER I WANNA HUG U SM 💞💗💖💗💞💗💖💗💞
SHEAS BEAUTIFUL VELVET VOICE WHEN SHE TALKED ABOUT THE DISORDER 💗💞💗💖💗💞💖💗💞💗💞💖
This season is very polished but I feel it's less entertaining as a few past seasons, It literally feels like 10 min of workroom, 5 min of runway and 2 min of lip sync???
it'll never not be funny that a few episodes later when alexis gets her feelings hurt over being fat shamed in the reading challenge everyone told her to calm down and get over it. i struggle with restrictive ED and even i understand the hypocrisy of these queens lmao.
Watching this....made me realize that I had a eating disorder and I never knew it, that is binge eating
