"I was feeling good, looking good"— Onya opens up about going vegan as part of her performance in RuPaul's Drag Race season 17 episode 12
In RuPaul's Drag Race season 17 episode 12, Onya and Lexi took to the main stage with their respective prompts, "Obsessed" and "Payback's a B*tch."
Onya narrated her tale first and told the judging panel about her journey of veganism. She said that she went "raw vegan" and stopped eating cooked food. The RuPaul's Drag Race season 17 star noted that at the age of 25, she changed her lifestyle.
"I was feeling good, looking good and I wanted everyone to hear about my new vegan lifestyle. But as my drag career took off, I spent nights at the bar until wee hours of the morning, with zero places to cater to my veganism," she said.
The RuPaul's Drag Race season 17 contestant mentioned that her story took a turn, starting with fast food. She noted that she added a little "cheese and sour cream" here and there, followed by eating a chicken wing on a dark and lonely night.
Onya's narration accompanied by Lexi's hilarious acting left the judges laughing. This was followed by Lexi's narration about being transgender. Lexi started by telling the judges that she always felt transgender, although it had only been three years "externally."
The RuPaul's Drag Race season 17 star opened up about being from Kentucky and noted she only had a few trans friends. The cast members' combined performances earned them the top spot in episode 12, adding to their list of wins so far in the season.
Fans online reacted to the pair winning the maxi challenge and praised Onya and Lexi's overall performances as well as their latest stint.
