She was introduced to many of us on Season 7 of Rupaul's Drag Race where she showed that fashion can get you the crown and has since gone on to music, Vogue, and now about to headline a burlesque tour. Oooooh la la la la la la la. Her name is Violet and she is about to be exposed.

I think the biggest misconception about Violet is that she's not charismatic, I don't know how people can say that all the time. She always makes me smile and laugh in every interview or collaboration she does, she's besides a fashion queen a very interesting person, smart and funny.
Yes the show didn't really focus on her and how interesting she is until the very end so it didn't showcase much of her personality although she was iconic in her fashion area,and all those acting challenges, that's why many liked her in the untucked because it showed more of her, and that's why her fashion ruviews are so popular, she's very charismatic and knowledgeable and hilarious and these youtube videos truly showed more of how terrific she is
That season didn't do anyone justice. They had a bunch of queens who sew and a bunch of queens who dance, and proceeded to throw them into one horrible acting challenge after another. Who knew from Season 7 alone that Katya was a fashion enthusiast, or Trixie was a looks queen, or Kennedy was a fierce dancer...
Fr they tried to paint her as a giant bitch who only cares about herself and it's so FAR from the truth. The fact is violet was confident, and smart. Of course if someone says "do you think your going to win?" She goes "yes." And of course she's gonna say that ! Like she said why even be on the show if the answer to that question is anything other than a flat out yes. She was the first queen to not doubt herself and even if she did she didn't show that to the camera at all and the producers/editors hated that. They wanted her to doubt herself like most girls and to her that just wasn't her style. Like some queens said on the show, I really admire how if someone gave her a compliment her immediate instinct wasnt to play shy and brush it off like most people do (I know I do) she takes it and goes "well duh of course I am, thank you" and that's something I've tried to learn in my life. Violet is truly my role model in term of pure confidence and sex appeal 😂❤️
@@DizzyBusy so true I think production were really pushing for ginger to win but violet was a powerhouse and they just had to crown her
Isn’t that old news? I mean it most definitely was when the season aired but she has shown and proofed from time to time how much of a powerhouse and mega talent she is
The biggest misconception about VIolet is that she's not a dancer, when in reality she's not not a dancer.
I Thought she was an aerial dancer
@@markbords5754 lol it's just something she said on her season
This is such a Violet way of phrasing it lol
Also that she’s not funny!
@@Luke-rm1kw But she performs it in shows and in tours too
“You look like the most gorgeous egg. Like a Fabergé egg”
AND THEN I DIED
But was she wrong
finally redeeming trixie from "...did you sow that?"
I'm crying still 😭
Momma she didn’t stutter on that read 😂😂
Tracy is an egg 💗
I need Violet to do a masterclass on confidence bc I definitely need some. She’s not delusional and she allows herself to be vulnerable and self-aware but at the same time she knows who she is, believes in herself more than anyone, and really stands her ground on the things that truly matter to her. Like??? Teach me pls !
Yes yes yes yes! Everything you said!
Baby,Violet is the last person who needs to teach anyone bout confidence. She doesn't have it.What She is,is called Super Conceited.Learn confidence and love your self amd your body and Always be Humble for everything you get because ppl like her,End up fading out if they are mean.ir become infamous.Not Famius or An Icon or a Lege d.So stay humble but know your strong and you can face any damn thing that comes your way!
@@christywoods9180 damn. What’s up with all the hate on violet recently.
@@christywoods9180 boo you
@@christywoods9180 wtf??!?!?! girl... have a glass of water and take a nap.
Love that Willam is letting you use her studio for the interview.
Willam is legit the kindest person ever.
I was wondering if anyone was going to point this out! Is the swing still there?
@@JosephAShepherd love ❤️
I clocked Willam's studio immediately. Those stairs gave it away.
I knew it! So cool
On Violet's Drag Race season, i really admired her confidence and unshakeable self-belief.
SAMEDT
I wish I could literally buy this level of self-assurance I swear.
So your self steem is low?
I loved the way she answered RuPaul when he was trying to play with her mind for dramatic effect:
RP : "There's really no shoulder for Violet to cry on."
Violet, not bother at all : "Besides my own"
I think even RuPaul was impressed.
My personal fave Ru Girl. NO ONE else even comes close when it comes to looks and general coolness and GLAMOUR. She's also hysterical and an amazing performer. Makes the best music too. Her new track is fantastic.
Raja begs to differ
when it comes to fashion, looks and coolness, Miss Fame is also great too
“My personal fav” some of us skipped over those three words
Sasha, Jada, and the Essence of Beauty, Symone all are great lookers.
@@FlacidMilk gurl. That is that tea
“that little podcast” 😭😭😭
I love how they just confront her about katya and what trixie said lol
what did they say?
@@pedroc7643 that bit when she called trixie to ask if she was really an alternative in her season, and the other bit when katya said before that she heard violet calling her a filler queen
@@Salma-ln1kv minute mark?
Violet is great for that because she isn’t too sensitive so she is always cool about it
@@Salma-ln1kv Violet literally said that if Katya was in the finale Katya would have won
Having someone who knows absolutely nothing about you as an assistant is honestly such a good move. You want someone who’s going to tell you what they honestly think and isn’t a fan.
the assumption you are making is that being a fan prevents you from saying what you honestly think and that being a non-fan assures your frankness. neither of which are true. on the contrary, when you work for someone, a company, a brand etc, its kind of generally better to know everything you can about said someone, company or brand.
@J Dls well violet said in the interview that she likes that her assistant isn’t a fan. You’re welcome to your opinion but generally I don’t think it’s a good idea to be surrounded by yes men. Generally fans are not going to give their honest opinion and even if they do it’s usually clouded because they like the person.
@J Dls there’s a difference between having product knowledge/knowledge of the person you’re working with and being a fan. Trixie has said as well her assistant is a fan of Jinx Monsoon which helps with keeping her grounded.
@@colemoniz but thats my point fan doesnt necessarily mean yes-man. i can only speak for myself, but i'm even extra critical of the artists i'm a fan of because i know theyre work so well and what they are capable of.
I love how Violet says whatever she wants and barely answers the questions
That's a big part of why Joseph is such a good interviewer. He doesn't pull answers from queens - he just gets them to talk. His questions aren't the point of the interview, and he's smart enough to see it.
When she said she's quitting very soon you could hear my heart breaking in a million pieces. 🥺
@@rajathornbeneviento1247 No, she said that she might at some point but not NOW.
My breath ☠️
14:25 Love how honest and sober Violet is talking about her reigning year. She's a supremely confident queen, yes, but she's not deluded. Violet is underrated with how shrewd and clever she's been with her career.
She went through it in Paris, and caught flak before the gender spectrum was more generally understood. Violet is a trailblazer.
I often feel with Violet, the thought of her being "too ahead of her time" comes up. Her fashion sense, her personality, her MUSIC? Love and passion is always mixed in everything she does. I just hope she's able to enjoy the praise she most rightfully deserves soon.
how is violet so ahead of her time when everything that she does is 1950s pin-up Style 🤣🤣
@@SadBoy-qo6px her style is very inspired and niche. It’s not as appreciated as things which is more common in pop culture. Maybe in the future we will look back and give more praise to her looks.
Going back to Bianca's interview after this one I noticed Bianca answered what's your biggest misconception question with "that I care" and violet said as well "who cares" lol we love two iconic unbothered queens
Violet is the reason I got into drag race, I started watching season 7 just because of her and it remains my favorite and she is my ultimate favorite, she truly amazing, groundbreaking and unique, I hate that she didn't enjoy her reigning year or people didn't truly appreciate her, in the show she showed great commitment even when the challenges didn't play on her strengths, she made her area unforgettable people know how iconic her fashion is, she had an amazing character development throughout the show and her untucked moment with Kennedy was unforgettable, and to think that the show didn't even showcase all her skills and talents, like she's mad talented in something so unique and impressive like aerials and burlesque no other queens do, she continues to evolve and push boundaries and better herself like her peak is a linear plateau it doesn't end or decline, Violet is one of the most iconic queens ever and she deserves all the best
Agreed. I saw some of season 6, but season 7 was my first real season watching and I've loved her ever since. I know she had her bitchy moments, but her confidence throughout the season was inspiring. She was young, but she came off like she knew exactly who she was and how great she was and I loved that. Every time I have seen her since her season, whether on The Pit Stop, or an interview like this, or footage from one of her shows, or even random live videos, she comes off so authentic and talented. Also, her giveaway look when Bob took the crown may be my favorite look of all time.
I hope she keeps working for many more years before retirement, and when she does retire, I hope she stays active in the drag community.
I 100% agree, its shocking to hear that she wasn't well received by fans, I started watching after her season because my friends watched it live and told me that she was the best thing they had ever seen
Violet being surprisingly humble about whether she was a catalyst for other fashion queens to start competing & like, correctly crediting Raja etc. where credit was due! Things we love 2 see
Violet, Nina, Ongina, Bebe, Raven, Tyra, Yara, Manila, Mariah they all brought fashion
JUSTICE MOMENT
@@mikeparez and none for S4, bye! S4 probably has the worst fashion out of all the seasons...the only highlights would've been from Chad Michaels, and Sharon Needles' post-apopalocic look
@@archer9855 lushawn beyond
violet doesnt get enough credit for being funny and likeable and well spoken and smart. all her interviews are hilarious and she has so much knowledge and love for drag and queer culture. she needs a podcast!!
im living for this iMovie cartoon clip filter
Somebody’s got iMovie 😂 and they’re at Willam’s studio too love it…..
I don't like it, I wanna see her pretty mug
i love u i see u in trixie n katya too
Violet is UNAPOLOGETIC and that’s why I love her. She does what she wants regardless of what people think. The beauty, the fashion, the artistry is just a bonus, but this level of confidence is truly something I adore about her. Truly winner behavior
She comes across so mature and communicates so well. I'm a huge fan.
she’s so rad and funny . we stan 💕
As soon as Violet said she hated Michelle Visage I knew I would like her, I'm glad she won.
giiirl everything goes down at willams house, im jelous
Violet is my favorite RuGirl ever, and something I don’t think she gets enough credit for is that she’s a queen who really knows her history and respects all the pioneers who came before her.
I love Violet calling out Trixie on the spot!
There's something about her, similar to Sasha Velour, in elevating the art of drag to the next level. Thanks Joseph for another great interview.
I don’t feel like Mistress Violet gets nearly enough credit for how naturally funny she is, she’s polished & has an impeccable fashion sense, but she’s hilarious as well! My fave Queen! 👠
Also her unintentional ASMR jewelry sounds give me life☺️
Violet was someone I had zero interest in during her season, as she came off as abrasive and entitled, but my fascination with and admiration of her has grown and grown, and I really like her now. If there is ever an All Winners season I will be rooting for her for the win, and I never thought I'd ever say that before!
The untucked vs the season is so weird she’s so likeable in the untucked and ginger and Kennedy who I respect felt so unlikable in untucked but great in the season
Same!
@@blakehawkes9597 bro i dont get how people can like kennedy she is honestly one of the most annoying queens ever
@@dimskomusic She is the kindest Ru Girl of them all. Everybody who has ever worked with her says that
There is an all winners season but she’s not on it
Trixie Mattel on the FaceTime: 🥚
not even two minutes in and i'm losing my mind- reduce, reuse, recycle, *SHOPLIFT*
i don’t get it? what do you mean
She's so mature and modest, as in when being asked about her influence, she mentioned the queens that came before her. Yet she was the first one to use the term "look queen" and then all the Instagram queens happened... and they all want to be her. Even the audience is looking for the next Violet in every look queen.
not trixie immediately backtracking on facetime lol
"I.... am proud of everything I do. And if I'm not, I don't post about it."
Tea
Willam cashing in on the interview! 🤣 and do i spot the astina ASOS jacket in the background? X
so many borrowed blessings!
Ahhh me too
Looks like the same jacket 😂
it was so interesting hearing about her struggles on the year of her crowning, how she felt in the shadow of bianca and i imagine having bob in the subsequent year, another extremely loud and charismatic winner, really challenged her professionally and pushed her to go as hard as she could into her own style and creativity; really lean into her strengths while juggling all of the complex responsibilities of being a winner (including getting people to like you). she is definitely one of the winners who i think the fan base have warmed to the most over time, and her entire trajectory from being an alternate to being a disliked winner, to now being a staple in the alumni and having really flourished in the real world shows that the show still has potential to push these queens both personally and professionally.
What do you mean alternate? Who was supposed to win her season originally? I'm confused.
@@peacheserrano1 she wasn't part of the season's original cast, trixie discusses it with her in this video
@@ottopotomas oh ok. I mean, imo that doesn't really make her an alternate tbh. An alternate would have been if someone else was crowned and couldn't fulfill the requirements or had their crown taken away and given to a runner up.
Violet, Raja, Miss Fame and Aquaria are literally my fashion ICONS.
Love how she gives credit to the seasons before 🙌🏼
YES! She often says this at other interviews and even in her own UA-cam videos. I think we can clearly tell that Violet has high respect and admiration for the queens in the earlier seasons.
My first season of drag race was season 7. I fell in love with Violet and I went nuts when she won! People shit on season 7 but it was the season that made me fall in love with drag race and drag in general. Violet is one of my fav winners and probably the most iconic winner to ever grace the show.
YESS
I totally agree with everything you said. That was my same experience with drag race. Season 7 was my first season and my favorite. And violent my favorite winner.
I love how much air time Willam's stairs have gotten over the years.
Best stairs this side of the Mississippi
Did anyone else clock Asttina Mandella’s iconic ASOS jacket in the background behind Violet?
i was literally JUST saying to myself this morning how i wish that you did an Exposed interview w/ Violet. She is hands down my fac drag queen from Drag Race & IS AN ICON & THE MOMENT!
Violet is without a doubt the most underrated Drag Race winner. She is so talented in so many ways, it's amazing.
I think the biggest misconception is that Violet is just a pretty look queen rather than a drag artist with a distinct perspective. Art in general is much more than just things being pretty, but most people don't seem that keen to see past the pretty (or popular).
Mentioning The Brady Bunch movie in regards to Ru acting when she had a whole Netflix show I can’t 🤣
Aj and the BAR QUEEN! 😂😂
I ❤️ the Brady Bunch movies 😜
One of the most iconic drag race girls EVER. realllyy took her win and made a sickening career with it
There's a reason almost every list of best looks on the runway has Violet's looks at the top
I'm so glad you're still doing these amazing Exposed interviews! It makes us all so happy tbh! Also hi from the live chat :D
violet always looks amazing, from the brows to the tattoos, immaculate
You are my favorite interviewer like EVER ❤️ Seriously lol you interview everyone I love too !!
Joseph, you are killing it with these interviews. This is the most “real” interview with Violet I have seen. I feel like we got to see her in a different and deeper and more spontaneous way, than even on her own channel.👏
YEAH!🥳🥳🥳 I was waiting and checking the channel every day for the video
This was a great interview! Violet is really well spoken and so funny.
This interview was iconically next-level 5 minutes in - holy god. Give Violet the phone!
I really hope she doesn't retire from drag soon. She's definitely one of my favorites and I would be sad to not be able to see her perform. I would still support anything else she wants to do, I would love to see her become the director of a fashion house. She's just spectacular
You’re such a great interviewer!!!
Thanks so much Erik
Violets look when she came back to crown bob!!! No queen has yet to top that and prob never will !!
Im in luv with the interview mustache hunk !!
Oooo the FaceTime was juicy and shady with the egg 🥚 comment!
It’s even funnier if you watch Trixie’s channel where you constantly says she looks like an egg 😂
I'm obsessed with Violet's signature black hair and beautiful mug. Her makeup looks even more amazing here than normal. Love her lashes. This was so interesting. I think Violet is the same age as me and it is crazy how well-spoken she is for how young she is.
The tea about Sharon's crown 👑 is everything.
Great to see an in-person interview!
The interview I didn’t know I needed 👏🏼 amazing!
Thank you so much for this interview its a real pleasure to watch and get to know the girls better 😊😊😘
I was looking forward to Violet! thanks x
ur def my fave interviewer u make it feel so natural and flow so well
Finally, I've been WAITING FOR THIS ONE
She is literal perfection! Love that you went through everything. Before, during and after Drag Race. I could hear her talk all day! She continues to be great at everything she does!
was wondering if this episode will ever be added to the spotify exposed podcast? loved loved loved this interview
Shoutout to Jungle that’s where I met Lalari the real experience 😅
I love these interviews!!!
OMG Joseph thank you for interviewing the one and only Violet Chacki :) Such a great interview. I love your work and and violet chacki i am your biggest fan from Istanbul, Turkey
I've been subbed for almost a yr now and I don't understand how we're getting such good quality interviews from all our fave queens and others and he's not got a mill subs that's mind blowing too me
Can't wait to see the show next week in Detroit! Yay!
Violet said "Did you glove it?" I think Joseph missed the pun!
I did. 😂
I just wish more season 7 questions were asked...."Who did she think would be top 3 walking in"..."Why does she think its considered the worst season"...."Thoughts on Pearl now"......
i submitted that first question to be asked in this video! i was just watching to see if it got answered and saw this so i guess not :(
violet looks absolutely gorgeous! also great color balance and lighting in this video
Violet face timing Trixie, and Trixie being a lil scared on the phone, was hilarious 😂😂😂
I vote that Violet is my favorite 💜💕 🌈 and if Joseph gets to 100k followers he dresses up like a leather daddy 👨🤩🥰😍!!!
Okay let’s do it!
@@JosephAShepherd we're gonna hold you too it lololll
@@JosephAShepherd Oh god, my poor gay heart won't know what to do. I'm already trying my best not to be one of those thirsty commenters!
This is a fantasy I can't wait to see 🙈
She's iconic even just asking her assistant to pass her the phone and doing that hand movement 💅🏻
Violet was so young on drag race, she still is but you can see clearly she's a more mature, approachable person and her drag is gorgeous, perfection.
This is your best interview! Good luck on your tour Violet!♥️
Wait.. is that Willam's Studio? I know that staircase! 🤣
I love how real Violet is, calling everyone out on their stuff lol.
I was lucky to see Violet in Paris, France, at the beginning of her Tour, and she's absolutely stunning (not to mention funny, we were served hard for having the softest applause meter of all publics). Her latest video is so her, I hope to see a lot more of her in the future !
Violet is everything, she is so sweet and funny and talented. She really took the crown and said okay that was fun but now the real work begins.
"Did you _glove_ it?" Joseph missed Violet's joke 😭
I remember when she won. There was literally no doubt in my mind or any of my friend’s minds that she won that season hands-down. I loved this interview. It showed a different side then I’ve seen before…Plus she looks STUNNING. Love her.
Finding out a queen's government name is always funny to me. PAUL????
Violets voice is pure asmr 🥰
Omg I’m not even an obsessed fan but I saw those stairs and I swear I saw William’s channel where he painted those stairs. I’m loving the studio now.
"I’m over here trying to be funny with Miss Fame" 😂😂😂
This IS how you do an interview! 👏 Sometime forward this to that guy from Hey Qween
Peep the Asttina Mandella ASOS jacket in the back lol
Had the pleasure to see Dolly Levi perform at the WeHo Hamburger Mary's pre-covid -- such a phenomenal performance!
I listen to everything Violet's on and she's manages to stay elusive even after all these interviews. She has such an enigmatic presence even when talking normally.
manifesting for this to go viral bb
Violet is one of the most deserving winners. She’s iconic. Her personality, her performances and her fashion are just unique and amazing
Perspective, girl . . . indeed and very insightful. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
hello from canada!!! AND YES WE LOVE DRAG HERE!
SOOOO excited to see her in LA!!
