Trinity the Tuck may be an All Stars winner, but she really took the crown for suffering in silence in season nine of RuPaul’s Drag Race. The drag star revealed she was competing with a shocking wound during filming on the most recent episode of the Sibling Rivalry podcast.
Trinity is known for showing off her body-ody-ody, but in season nine showing off all that skin came at a very painful cost. “I did so many naked looks on the runway,” Trinity recalled. “My penis was taped so long every day, I started to get black welts. I fully thought that I had an STD the whole time I was filming season nine.”
Wow! While most people would run to the nearest medical professional, Trinity decided to keep her genital woes to herself because she feared it would mean an early elimination from the competition. “This is right around the time that Eureka.... gets eliminated for an injury. I’m like, bitch, I’m not telling them that my dick is falling off, bitch, I am keeping this to myself,” she said.
Host Monet X Change was the entirety of the audience when she responded, “Girl, no!”
“I went to the doctor as soon as we got done filming, because it was that way the whole time, and I had to tape over that,” Trinity continued. “It was bad. It looked like a horror movie down there, girl,” Trinity remembered. “I went to a doctor as soon as I got back to Florida and they were like, no, you don’t have an STD, but you’re allergic to duct tape.”
Trinity wasn’t the only one with a tucking on the mainstage horror story, Monet shared her own mishap when she attempted tucking with tape for the first time during her time on season 10. “It was really rough. I taped myself and I thought it was going well. Then, as I was waiting to walk down the runway, I’m sweating,” she said. “As I was walking, the tape was just unsticking. That’s why they had to blur my runway on season 10, because my d**k and the tape was fully out. Embarrassing. I can’t watch it.”
