In this episode of Alec Mapa: Hot Mess with Matthew Dempsey Psychotherapist, Alec and Matthew explore the topic of reality show backlash with the star of RuPaul’s Drag race season 5 and winner of All- Stars Season 2, and host of the podcast “Race Chaser” Alaska Thunderfuck. Alaska shares the intimate details of her relationship with ex Sharon Needles including how drugs, cheating, and fame tore them apart. Alaska opens up about her feelings of betrayal, anxiety and sadness after throwing a fit on RuPaul’s Drag Race and experiencing the backlash of her fans turning against her. The three explore themes of feeling like an alien, performing sober, dealing with the ups and downs of fame, how to protect your squishy parts from haters, and establishing a sense of self that transcends the difficulties life can bring.
