Mistress Isabelle Brooks has been absolutely slaying the competition on season 15 of RuPaul’s Drag Race. Fans have been living for her old-school attitude, impeccable makeup skills and outfits, and undeniable star power.
Unfortunately, the queens of season 15 have been facing a significant amount of hatred on social media – not only from Drag Race fans who are acting petty whenever their favorite queens don’t do well on the show, but also from conservative pundits who are pushing their anti-drag rhetoric in recent months.
“Lmao [conservative] Twitter is sharing a video of me performing and talking about kids at drag shows and how drag is inappropriate when it’s literally just me fully clothed performing at a 21+ venue… It’s crazy how much misinformation gets spread and how crazy these people are.”
For context, Brooks is talking about the conservative response to a recent performance she did at Roscoe’s Tavern – a 21+ gay bar in Chicago, Illinois that is known for hosting several drag artists for performances and viewing parties.

The season 15 star added to the tweet thread, “You old ass balding white men hide behind pictures of American flags and bald eagles and share videos of queer people literally living their best lives and minding their own business and flood the captions with misinformation to spread hate and create chaos.”
“It’s honestly so depressing. It’s one thing to stand for what you believe in, whether I think it’s right or wrong. However, the fact that you grown ass people not only share these things and harass queer people, but also flood the comments with juvenile insults and these are the people who are shaping our youth,” she continued. “These are the ‘parents’ who teach kids hate. It’s f*cking disgusting. I say all this to say, and if you’ve been to any of my shows recently you’ve heard this already. But sh*t like this is the reason why it is SO important to be visible, to be yourself, and to come together as a community. These people are f*cking insane and are banding together to make drag literally ILLEGAL.”
We must stand strong and together against the current anti-drag, anti-trans, and anti-queer narrative being pushed by conservative forces, so we couldn’t agree more with Mistress Isabelle Brooks!
