Drag Race Canada star Ilona Verley has claimed that they were told not to discuss their transgender identity while appearing on the series.
Ilona, a non-binary and trans queen, competed last year on the first series of the Canadian spin-off of RuPaul’s Drag Race, which is hosted by former contestant Brooke Lynn Hytes.
The Independent has contacted the Drag Race Canada production team for comment.
Ilona claimed that under their contract, they weren’t able to work on OnlyFans or as an escort, meaning that they had “no way to make money”.
