RuPaul’s Drag Race UK icon Divina De Campo sparked chaos after she claimed a “prominent” and “loved” queen supports Donald Trump and JK Rowling.
Without naming any names, she said a queen from the Drag Race franchise said “Donald Trump was a great president, JKR is a really talented person, climate change isn’t real”.
She explained in a follow-up tweet that she wasn’t talking about one of her Drag Race UK sisters, pointing to it being an American queen.
Despite thousands of responses to her tweet, Divina has not yet revealed who the mystery queen is.

Fans wasted no time becoming detectives, trying to work out which queen secretly loves controversial figures US former President Donald Trump – who has been accused multiple times of sexual harassment, and author JK Rowling – who has faced criticism for her views on trans rights.

Even stars of the show seemed baffled by Divina De Campo’s tweet, with Kornbread from US Drag Race‘s 14th season saying: “So you gone wake Twitter up. And not say who? Help me understand.”
