Drag Race PH's Eva Le Queen says Rajo Laurel has reached out and patched things up with her
The latest episode of Drag Race Philippines, dubbed Shop Shop Ladies Ball, received quite the reaction from viewers after judge fashion designer Rajo Laurel criticized Eva Le Queen for her performance.
Rajo didn't mince words when he critiqued Eva Le Queen, at one point calling her Divi Diva creation "trash." She eventually landed in the bottom two.
On Twitter Thursday morning, Eva Le Queen posted a lengthy statement about the episode, admitting she had been sobbing all morning long.
"It's been an avalanche of emotions," the drag queen said.
"[Not going to lie], I was bleeding inside, enduring the critiques and lip-syncing against one of my closest friends. Pero we all signed up for this, and that's [how] it is," she continued.
But according to Eva, she and Rajo have already patched things up.
"To Sir Rajo, thank you for reaching out and patching things up," she wrote, adding "in better days, let's have that nice dinner and drinks."
Rajo immediately explained himself on Twitter Wednesday night saying, "My judgments on Drag Race Philippines will always stem from a place of Love!" He wrote.
"It will never come from being hurtful, mean, nor evil. I only want the BEST from our queens, the best from the Philippines!" He added, followed by the hashtag #dragraceph.
