RuPaul’s Drag Race star Katya has postponed her joint tour with co-star Trixie Mattel as she begins treatment for addiction.
The season seven star posted a touching Reel on Instagram earlier this week, in which she revealed that her sole focus is on her sobriety.
“There’s a saying for the active alcoholic or drug addict,” Katya began the video. “The trajectory of the life course has three possible outcomes: A) jail, B) institutions or C) death
Unfortunately, I find myself squarely and firmly and quite uncomfortably in the B camp right now. But in an effort to make things good with you in the future, I gotta make things good for me right now.”
Katya went on to explain that she will be rescheduling dates of the sold-out Bald and the Beautiful live tour, and thanked fans for their “compassion” and understanding.
“Any rescheduled dates or potential loss of money will be rectified as swiftly and competently as possible. I gotta swiftly and competently rectify my ass right now,” she said.
“Thank you so much for your patience and compassion and I hope that you have a wonderful day.”
The post was quickly flooded with messages of support from Katya’s Drag Race co-stars and friends. “The honesty and strength you’re showing is so admirable. You can do this,” commented Drag Race UK star The Vivienne.
