There was generally a big drama with a former contestant of Drag Race objecting to transphobic language casually used by the show ("ooh, you've got shemail", Ru has a song called "****** Chasers", etc) and RuPaul/Michelle got defensive, refused to see the problem. Courtney sort-of took this queen's (Carmen Carrera) side and went public with how the words weren't helpful and were essentially slurs, that drag =/= trans, etc.
So RuPaul blocked her and she hasn't been asked back onto a series of Allstars (despite placing 3rd (and should've been 2nd))
Also there was the general impression that Courtney was too big for her boots on the show because she'd already had a career in Australia before it, and Ru/the producers love to build up a "WE MADE YOU" story for their winners.
