Tessa Prieto after 'Drag Race Philippines' Ep 3 appearance: 'Make your own drama, life is too short!'

Tessa Prieto ruffled not a few feathers after appearing as a guest judge on the 3rd episode of "Drag Race Philippines" Season 2.

Echoing Rajo Laurel's controversial "trash" comment from last season, the socialite hotly said "this is trash!" while judging OV Cunt's Halloween creation.

It clearly disappointed not just the drag queen being judged, who immediately said she wasn't going to respond to Tessa's comment, but the growing number of fans of the reality show as well as a couple of queens from Season 1.

Eva Le Queen and Marina Summers took to Twitter to air their disappointment, with the former revealing how Tessa was even present when she and Rajo had a "reconciliation dinner" to put the trash issue to rest.

You all know why I’m so mad? On Oct 4, 2023, Rajo and I had this ‘Reconciliation Dinner’ to finally put this Trash issue behind and move on. Guess who else was a ‘guest’ in that dinner? TESSA PRIETO. pic.twitter.com/W7ycjGTBKg

Meanwhile, Marina summers said, "Ms Tessa Prieto has no business saying the word 'trash' WHILE looking like that on the judges panel."

She also made mention of Tessa's presence at the aforementioned dinner last year and knew how hurtful the comment was.

"For you to say that [loosely] is so inconsiderate and QUESTIONABLE - both to the QUEENS and HER FRIEND," Marina continued.

Okay before I film #TheStopOver I just wanna air this out- Ms Tessa Prieto has no business saying the word “trash” WHILE looking like that on the judges panel. What irks me more is the fact that she was with us in a dinner with Eva last year to talk about how that same word-

In the episode, Tessa seemed aware of the gravity of her comment and even told Rajo she was "disappointed in you ha."

"I became the catty one," she added. 

The guest judge, however, stood by her opinion and noted that OV Cunt's design lacked edginess.

"It's Halloween but kulang ng spookiness," Tessa told OV Cunt. "You wanted to have that sort of edginess but parang wala naman non."

In her Instagram Stories Thursday, Tessa posted a screengrab from her DRP appearance and simply said "Make your own drama. Life [is] too short! It's called entertainment."

In the episode, Matilduh won the mini-challenge while Verushka Levels was deemed winner of the main challenge.
