Kimora hasn't said a damn word so far.

Valentina's unveiled behavior reminds me of how Willam has described Ru in the past. Completely different personality as soon as the camera is rolling.

I am loving this except the Nina segment. I am so sick of her! She should have never made it on the show honestly. She could end up reinforcing a lot of insecurities in LGBT youth. Why does Ru love her so much?

She's funny and talented, why shouldn't she be on the show?

Because Nina suffers from the exact insecurities you are talking about. We should acknowledge the issue instead of brushing it away

I don't give a fuck.

This is TV.

If people are that sensitive. Don't watch it.

Nina is talented and, flaws and all, deserved to be there and will go down as one of the most memorable queens to be on the show.

I'm sorry, but I've seen this criticism so much and, maybe I'm old, but I don't think all of entertainment should be held hostage by the fear that it might make someone feel insecure. Nina is a real person, sharing her REAL insecurities. I'm not at all down with the idea that TV should shy away from showing real people be vulnerable.

Her personality got in the way of me wanting to see more of her. Bitch could be the most talented queen on the show, I was done with her by the third episode.

Exactly. Her self sabotage doesnt take away her talent.

I used to watch her on FB and youtube. I cannot deny her talent. However I am honestly starting to believe her "humor" is a manifestation of some pathology. I think people take her reads as nipping, but I think its more to it. And like I said part of being on the show is informing and influence the community at large. That responsibility is beyond her.

Ummm.....I'm just saying some may think what she is doing is playing the game, but she is not, she is not in control, clearly. Its perfectly fine that she acknowledge her insecurity but not her paranoia? And its just my opinion....please don't come for my head, I'm not coming for hers, she stuck her neck out there and pulled the chain on the guillotine herself.

That's implying if she's even going to want to do it anymore after how badly they character assassinated her

What assassination? She is gonna be even more popular than she was already. S9 was about Valentina, and some of these girls cant handle that.

I guess character assassination was a misnomer, but depending on how bad the backlash is against her, she might feel it not worth competing again, either way, it seems like people are living for "Villaintina"

Valentina stans should chill out a bit and enjoy the drama for what it is. sweeties...

I mean, I've even seen some people say that RuPaul has encouraged bullying against her and that she might be scarred for life. lol

As Naomi Smalls had said, "Sad to think I was LIVING at the reunion while Valentina was dying"

Because she's sickening and forward thinking. I'm sorry you can't handle people with depression!
