I actually started watching this season of CBB because of her. (I'm American) I'm a huge fan of Ru Paul's Drag Race (I've watched every season.) So when I heard she was on I started watching it with the idea I was going to root for her. Well.. along the way I sort of lost respect for her. I think the first straw was when she made that crazy diary room rant about how Perez set the gay community back. Plus she used "our community" and that sort of pissed me off. You can be an ally all you want but you're not one of us. It isn't her community, it's OUR community. The second straw was her sticking to Katie Hopkins and her actions with Alicia and Perez. For example while Perez's actions were OTT in regards to Alex, Michelle should have seen the homophobia in Alex's actions and words and spoken out about it since she is the voice of "the gays" after all. I think Michelle's problem is that since she is so involved with the drag circuit that she basically sees herself as an honorary one of us. Which that isn't the case. She can be as involved as she wants to be but that doesn't change the fact she's a straight cis woman. Idk just the way she talks about gay people seems othering and dehumanizing. It's never about Perez's crazy antics. It's Perez the gay man's crazy antics.
