I saw her for the Bald and the Beautiful and she's so candid about her experiences, I really admire them as a person
@@Legal_Sweetie333 drag queens tend to use she/her while in drag or using their drag names
@@honeysuckleASMR stop trauma dumping everywhere you go
i have so much respect for this man. katya/brian has been through so much and is so honest about it. i stan
Although she says in this same episode that she wishes she had never shared details about her sobriety, bc it gave ppl the wrong picture about her. That was actually heartbreaking
@@ohboilien i know. :(
her name is BRIAN??!! 😭🤌🏻
@@softsapphic1976Trixie and Katya are both named Brian! I don’t like to think about it but facts are facts America….
@@softsapphic1976yep! her and trixie :3
It's insane that they expect people in recovery for addiction to just stop having any kind of contact with the people and systems in place to help them while filming the show, especially since Ru is sober herself and gets all emotional when she talks about how important the support system is in getting (and staying) clean...
I didn’t know that! That’s honestly pretty shitty (but not surprising) of Ru? A comment on the episode itself said that these days the seasons have a counselor is that true?
@@ohboilienYes! It’s called “queen care” but I don’t think the budget on international seasons caters to a program the size of the US’. I also haven’t heard anything about a someone specifically for sober performers, but that would be a great idea.
They really do just deprive people of what they need to function. I bet that if my meds ran out during filming I wouldn’t be able to get a refill
so brutal. recovering from addiction is sooo tough even with all the supports in place, so I can't imagine being cut off from those supports and doing it alone
Ru is phoney af
Especially on Drag Race when everyone is drinking around you!
Yeah and they film one episode in 2 days so every other day you’re faced with it. Just shows how strong Katya was and self aware to know her limits with temptation
Word
Maybe i'm reaching but probably that was the reason she was smoking in almost all the untuckeds, so she could protect herself.
@@wasabi.2839Smoking what?
@@Cannibalizeecigarettes
Omg I never even considered not being able to go to recovery meetings while on the show. That would be incredibly difficult in early sobriety.
I remember watching S7 and Katya’s moment with Miss Fame was heartbreaking
Although I thought her saying in this episode that she wishes she wouldn’t have shared all that was even more heartbreaking 😢
Yes, as a recovering alcoholic/addict myself, I could 100% relate!! So brave, so honest! I've been clean and sober for over 17yrs now!! Love Katya/Brian so much!! ❤❤❤
@@lauratarry3450 17 years ! Congratulations you rock !
Absolutely was a tough moment. It bugged me a bit that they were both talking abt struggling and even if they had wanted privacy they couldn’t have really gotten it. But it was good they had each other, especially bc Fame had been sober for longer than Katya at that time
i rewatched season 7 the other week and that moment made me sob bc she’s just so real and relatable and it hits so different jow
They most definitely should have psychological support for cases like this (or in general for that matter). You'd think Ru would be more aware, being in recovery herself.
They do now, but only after An Almost Incident
@@jhubeJELLO who was the incident with?
@@jhubeJELLOhuh? What’s the tea,sis??
Given how common it is for substance abuse/mental health struggles to be an issue in the queer community, you WOULD think they'd at least have some kind of psychological care available. 😑😐😑
Producers want drama and want the contestants to “lose it” and be unstable.. they will never bring in psychologists willingly
I’m struggling to get sober and confused with my identity, Katya helps with the worst days ❤
Ooh dont worry about your identity! You are the universe, different bodies and incarnations but always tge same. The universe = you. ❤
i can’t help you much with sobriety, i’m still trying to reach that myself. but as for your identity, do what you feel you want to, and the rest will come naturally. no need to put labels on anything. personally, i’m happy to know i’m aroace, but for my gender it’s all up in the air. i just do what comes natural. best of luck on your journey, for your identity and sobriety
You can do it ❤
If a lush like me can do it, I bet you can too. ❤ I feel like it was easier to get to know myself when I got sober. I'm on 10 years & grateful I got it together before the world went crazy.
I personally recommend AA meetings. It’s not a perfect system, but the supportive local community I found got me sober, and the steps keep me sober and genuinely happy. And there’s a surprising number of supportive queer people in my small southern community. My identity as a queer person became much more clear once I got sober and wasn’t high and/or having an existential crisis all the time.
The meetings are free and everywhere. I’m 10 months sober now and without that community I absolutely would not have made it. The beginning is very tough, but it gets easier if you have a program to work. But ofc do what works for you! I’m rooting for you. 💕
Hope she is well n come back stronger
oof a year into sobriety is a tough time to miss meeting for six weeks. good going for making it through tho
You Icon's talking so honestly to your fans is actually heroic. It really helped my son decide he could get to rehab and fix this just over a year ago!!
I wish they had let her go to meetings online or something (it wasnt that long ago that she was on as far as skype exsisting or not) just with a gag order about show details/specifics because then it could have been a good story of advocacy and shone Ru and the show in a very good light
I don't know what the situation was in the US, but as far as I know it wasn't really a thing in my country. I mean I remember in the beginning of the corona epidemic seeing bunch of talk how job X or class Y were impossible to do online, but when working from home was suddendly the only option, the world didn't crash and burn (the economy is another story).
@NukkuiskoHyvinVaiPois I'm in opiate recovery, and we only got phone groups when the pandemic became so bad they were forced to. I highly, HIGHLY doubt that at the time of season 7, there was an option to do AA via the phone. It's a confidentiality nightmare.
@writheagainsoon it's not a confidentiality nightmare and teletherapy in the U.S. for substance abuse disorders isn't as new as you seem to think, I literally was already in teletherapy when season 7 was filmed. Maybe the coasts didn't have it yet but out in middle America telehealth has been a thing for ages.
I'm also unsure where you got it being a confidentiality nightmare, if it's an actual program then that's actually a more legally confidential situation than the filming lol. Also since esp on the coast they are super strict about sharing personal info in AA I don't think this would have posed any risk, remember the queens go home when they are eliminated, so they are a MUCH larger confidentiality risk than someone who's calling in to a legally confidential space lol
I'm 3.5yrs sober now and I get it
I'm really happy for you man 💜
Keep on going, I believe in you!!
Proud of you, baby🎉
Keep it up! I know it's not easy
Yeah ! You can be proud of yourself, it's impressive ! Congratulations !
congrats!!!
i stan katya/brian for always being so open and honest about their struggles. i saw myself in katya when i saw her for the first time on drag race and i’ve been a die hard fan ever since.
Apparently is well known the first 2 to 3 years in being sober for any addiction are the hardest ones, i wonder what happened in the backstage production of the show that they even can't access to their usual therapist of support reunions.
From the 12 Traditions of Alcoholics Anonymous, Tradition 3: “Any two or three alcoholics gathered together for sobriety may call themselves an A.A. group, provided that, as a group, they have no other affiliation.” Ru and Katya could have had a meeting then and there.
Katya is beautifull as a man, a woman and a human being❤
100%🤍
Props for you honey. At a year sober I don't remember having that ability to ask or at least admitting to needing a meeting. I was still hiding in my room. By year 2 ... nothing came between me and a meeting.
Only a yr sober here .. by year two do I leave my bedroom??
I remember my husband complaining I was going to meetings. Now he shoves me out the door to go! LOL
@mirandamaher880 I'm sorry it took me so long to respond. I didn't see it. I hope you are still doing well. You leave your room whenever you are ready. But they will be there when you are. And if you don't vibe with the 1st group, there are usually more options. Your people are out there who will love you and hold you up through this time.
11 years sober this month. It isn't always easy, but worth it. Bless you doll and sending you well wishes.
Reason number 5 million why Katya will always be my favourite ❤
i live like this and it’s so hard to be so raw all the time. but it’s like i can’t stop the compulsion. i think many and maybe even most people are suffering and some of us just can’t hold it in
I truly appreciate production didn't use that footage for views or against Katya, it shows that they care to a degree.
I give production props for that because a lot of producers would have jumped on that so quickly. I still feel like sometimes they take advantage of a queen's situation and should work on that more often.
I agree it was nice that producers didn’t include that vulnerable moment. They definitely took advantage of ~the drama of sobriety~ at least _a little_ when they chose to use that obviously-meant-to-be-personal convo between Katya and Fame
idk wasnt it just to avoid backlash?
It wasn’t because they were being empathetic. It’s because it would have garnered criticism towards the show. Be so fr.
they didn't put that footage in because katya was designated fan favorite (not saying he's not a likeable person but he def got the best edit on that season) and they wouldn't wanna cause any controversy around the fan favorite.
it's not the goodness of their heart since they definitely didn't any problem trying to take advantage of pearl's trauma on stage.
The strength it takes to admit to yourself you have a problem is immense. I'm so proud of Katya for being able to stop and take care of herself, and I wish her the best ❤
They are both so lovely, no matter what they're wearing. I could listen to them FOREVER.
I thought the shirt was meat at first, then it zoomed out and i was like oh tye dye
It's giving kelly mantel
I thought it was red cabbage at first
I have 2 months and I felt that so much cause I really need my meetings. LUV U BOTH. These videos make my day
I feel like in ANTM Tyra would have used this
I remember watching that as well as thee designer (spinoff?) when I was younger and I agree, she would definitely have used this
And she would have it edited to make her look good
@@HazeEmrytell me why I used to watch top model all the time as a teen and I thought she was a nice?? It's crazy that I was blind to how messed up she was
Because it was/is a great show, and ANTM ran so that other reality shows similar to it (ie Drag Race) could sprint?
Love Tyra, she was/is a great host, no more f**ked up than Rupaul.
Such honesty ; gratitude
Almost 4 years sober...i live this side of Katya. She speaks the truth.❤❤❤❤
I think reality tv shows need to show real stories and backgrounds like this. It’s so important to show to people that are struggling that there are so many people with them fighting for a better life.
I’m an addict and thank you so much for being so real and honest bc it’s something we need to talk about more n hear
A 1000th all support for all our mental health. Thank you katya. ❤
I have been sober for almost 26 years, and I can remember those first couple of years like I got sober yesterday. Whew! It's a lot...I can't imagine...
I’m so glad you’re taking time to care for yourself. ❤
Love you Katya! You are so beautiful for being open and honest. 🧡
i feel this way too, just because i can’t find a reason to lie all the time and i have come to peace with what i have done and the consequences of that. i think it’s beautiful katya shared that with ru, if more people could be open like that and others more understanding life would be so much more beautiful. keep going and so glad for anyone who makes it out of that!
This is why we love you. Your vulnerability❤
I have 5 years and 50 weeks or so- this is so real! Glad Katya could open up, this helps the next alcoholic know that it can be done and that it keeps getting better.
Found your channel via shorts and I was like what a lovely voice! And then bam ! Here you are reading my favorite book! Thank you for making this!
I can’t thank her enough for being so open about this. With the stigma of addiction and the trauma from growing up gay in a close minded ignorant society, so many gay men are suffering and silent about it. She has true courage to say this out loud.
I wish I could like this a million times. I didn't know this about you. I hope you are still winning. If not, that's okay too. You will be okay.
Katya is so beautiful she could totally be a vampire like the gorgeous one in interview with a vampire she could do the first vamp in drag yessss
I WAS JUST THINKING THE SAME THINK. She looks like Sam Reid, the actor that plays Lestat
Being totally isolated just for the show sounds nightmarish, I can't imagine ALSO battling addiction
I really love they edited that out
I love the honesty ❤
I love honest, open people. ❤
We love you Katya its not fun suffering in silence but closed mouths don’t get feed good job 👍🏻 ❤❤❤
She is the true winner…of my heart.
This just makes me love Katya/Brian more! ❤
They should be able to provide that for their contestants tho.
i love katya so much
I don’t admire much about tv productions but I admire them not using that footage. But above all I admire how open Katya is and always has been ♥️♥️
I love this woman
God. I love katya so much more now ❤ it's such a relief 😮💨 to hear someone else's struggles cos you can get stuck in your own head and it's God awful
sendin much love to all yall in recovery/strugglin w sobriety ❤
I absolutely love Katya I feel I could learn so much from my twisted sister 🖤🖤
I respect and am glad you were able to share this & at the time sharing. That was you being stong. Reason they didn't use it is because if you fell back in your self meditation and died. That would have put responsibility on them that no company wants. Even the companies who want strong and imaginative people no you're in addiction oh go please leave. Never gome back unless you are more famous then our company.
So lesson should be if you have time bein a good employee. & you slip. Try and be brave enough to tell them. (If u disagree tell me because I'm curious).
It should be no different then the flu.
If it needs longer. It should be no different then. If you have pre cancers tumours that you need to be removed but you will be bed-bound for 3/5 weeks.
Its sad alcoholism/I forget what na say but. But if you fall slip is when my depression gets too horrible and I try there is this beautiful woman in my early 20s.
I love this Irish woman. Late late show. She was first first person I heard who said iv been true depression and she compared to cancer which she had and she said the depression was worse. Her cancer was bad and won't ever be gone and will shorten her life. But she mead it clear cancer was easier than depression to deal with. And she told everyone he was dealing with depression that it's not a weakness you are strong. It made me able to deal with it.
Proud of you. Keep going.❤❤❤
I have even more respect and admiration for katya ❤ alcoholism is one hell of a disease
we need vulnerability ❤ (and kindness and understanding to meet it)
I'm glad shes at a better place now. Drag race was rough, and i love that all stars was just a bit easier since she had medication. Sure she relapsed but she seems to be doing good again
I love Katya so much❤❤❤❤
They didn’t use it cause they knew they were breaking some sort of employee health code lol
im totally hypnotized my katyas eyes omg and trixies glasses where did you get them @trixie
I feel you…12 years here and I’m still a baby! I admire your vulnerability!
Add sobriety coaches, substance use counsellors and 12 step meetings to RPDR staff!
A year sober today and this popped up on my feed ❤ it’s a journey
5 days & I feel it, 6 weeks I'm not surprised you were losing it 💔
Thank you. You are amazing.
Trixie is such a great looking man ❤
Addiction is so hard. I thought I was fine and started drinking again because I had things under control. I had left my home state, all my enablers and everything. But I started going back to old ways. Turns out old habits die hard. Quit absolutely good this time. Finally 4 years sober.
So brave. Respect!
I wish I could Katya a hug.
Katya is so real.
Somehow in mens clothes Trixie looks like Estelle Getty ❤
In the beginning of recovery, a year was a pipe dream. Now I look back at a year and realize I was squirrelly and down right insane still.
I’m glad he loved himself more than the show! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
❤loved katya n their vulnerability
Honestly, I wish they DID air it. Alcoholism is a huge issue among drag performers. Katya wasn't even the only one struggling with it in her season (Fame)! Blair St. Claire, Baga Chips, Jujubee, Mayhem Miller, Brita, Peppermint, Jinx, Alaska, Vivienne, Mrs. Kasha Davis, Ginger, and even Ru her gosh darn self all are sober.
this vid was so calming lol
Trixie giving Gypsy Rose realness
I want Tricia’s glasses right now
thank you for being honest, even if it was cut.
Wow and so ru knew it was her Time to leave, wild
I am very fortunate to be 10yrs sober from opiates & alcohol.
The 1st year i was sober, i got pregnant, not knowing a new psych med counteracted the affects of my birth control. I was so scared!! My bf of 2.5yrs took off on me to make the decisions on my own (the baby was his!!) I was so scared. I grew up w/an addict & alcoholic father, and that is no place for a child to thrive!!! I didnt want to take the chance of my child walking into a room and find m me OD, uk? I made the conscious decision to call an adoption adviser who helped me every step of the way to find the right parents & make sure i wasnt alone. The baby i birthed, he is now 9 and thriving, and i am 10yrs sober. Fwew!! Lol
We must protect Katya at all cost
Katya FOREVER. 🤍
No, you should have absolutely said it. We need to recover our lots so others can see it can be done. And so we can normalize getting help and support.
This hits. ❤
So brave to just be completely open and vulnerable like that. Especially on a gay show or in the gay scene where you’re supposed to seem so perfect and fierce and sort of competitive/ closed off
As awful as it sounds, I don’t think Rupaul would really care about someone in recovery on her show, unless it was Ru herself…And yes Katya didn’t need to go on the show, but she should still have the support system just in case, especially since Ru talks about how important that was for her as well in her own experience
GOD I LOVE KATAYA/Brian❤
True Queen!
They need to have sobriety and mental health support available to the queens on the show
That is exactly how I felt a few years ago trying to go back to work as a doc after having been assaulted in my home. I pretended everything was fine. Kept going to work and kept on going. Until I hit a breaking point. I had to face it and I couldn’t go on anymore. There was nothing I could do about it.
All good now though! 👍🏻 therapy ya’ll!
Recovery should not even be negotiable
I appreciate your vulnerability. Thank you.
You're so brave i love you ❤
Knick knock
Who is it?
Knick knock
I love Katya ❤
RIP Café Coco. Much cigarette smoking and dream talkin' was had there. We'll miss you Kevin
I haven’t been to a meeting yet, but luckily I have a support system that I’ve been able to trust for 3 months. Life is so triggering at times, especially when you don’t think anyone *gets* it. This short was random for me, but I did need to see it, as well as read the other comments. I’m trying, y’all.
I love you Katya ❤
