‘F***ing Crazy’: Chappell Roan And Bowen Yang Call Out People Making Jokes About Roxxxy Andrews’ Bus Stop Story On Drag Race

As a passionate fan and a firm believer in the power of empathy, I wholeheartedly support Chappell Roan, Bowen Yang, and Roxxxy Andrews for standing up against insensitive jokes about personal struggles. The story of Roxxxy Andrews, a Drag Race star who bravely shared her emotional journey, should serve as a reminder to us all that humor at the expense of someone’s pain is never acceptable.


As a connoisseur of popular culture, I’m thrilled to share some exciting news: Chappell Roan, the captivating pop music sensation, and Bowen Yang, the charismatic comedian from Saturday Night Live, have teamed up to delve into a long-standing joke surrounding Roxxxy Andrews, the beloved Drag Race star. They’re finally shedding light on Roxxxy’s emotional journey during Season 5, a story that has resonated with many fans over the years.

During their conversation with Interview magazine, they stood united in support of Andrews, simultaneously expressing disapproval towards fans persisting in making jokes about her past.

Roan finds the humor derived from Andrews’ disclosure about her mother abandoning her at a bus stop to be disturbing. The creator of My Kink Is Karma voiced her disapproval towards the thoughtlessness of these jokes, stating that they detract attention from the intimate narratives participants often share. She stated, “It’s always someone with a Roxxxy Andrews story that everyone makes fun of, which is absolutely bizarre.”

1) Yang, previously a judge on Drag Race, expressed similar feelings. He commented, “If you make fun of Roxxxy Andrews being left at the bus stop, it shows a lack of compassion in your heart.”

As a passionate admirer, I’d like to underscore this idea: In the heart of our community, we find strength and solace in sharing our own tales of hardship and triumph, and in creating bonds with our chosen families who stand by us unwaveringly.

She emphasizes the importance of empathy towards such tales, instead of ridicule. Moreover, she points out that many LGBTQ individuals often search for supportive, alternate family structures where they can find tranquility and approval, even when their biological families may not provide a nurturing environment.

Previously, the iconic figure from RuPaul’s Drag Race expressed to Entertainment Weekly, “I enjoyed those moments on Drag Race because you often think about instances where you can assist others.” Despite encountering negativity, Andrews has learned to brush off jokes from friends about her personal past. However, she added, “If you’re someone I don’t know or haven’t interacted with on Instagram and tag me at a bus stop saying, ‘Thinking of Roxxxy.'”‘

She stated, “They exclaim, ‘I didn’t intend to offend!’ And I respond, yet I don’t know you, and it’s not amusing. If your mother passed away, would you want me to jest about your deceased mother? It’s not funny.”

In a subsequent interview with the same publication, Sasha Colby – winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race season 15 – praised Chappell Roan for her backing of Drag Race contestants. As Colby explained, the rise of drag personalities like Roan, who has recently emerged as a popular music star, underscores the growing impact of drag within mainstream pop culture.
