The girls are fighting!
Paramount+
In the wise words of Gia Gunn, “At this point, Trix, the dolls are the dolls.”
Heidi N Closet and Kahanna Montrese were seen fighting on RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 8 after Montrese felt like N Closet was deliberately poking fun at her during the Snatch Game. N Closet claimed that she was trying to help Montrese so that she could “volley” jokes back and forth between them, but Montrese still felt like N Closet was making the situation even worse.
Right when her fight with Montrese appeared to be winding down, N Closet found herself in another argument that involved Kandy Muse, Jimbo, and Alexis Michelle. This dramatic day in the werk room ultimately led to N Closet quitting All Stars 8.
For all we knew, N Closet and Montrese’s beef had been squashed during All Stars 8 or after filming was done. However, it doesn’t seem like that is the case any longer. On Monday, June 12, the two drag performers started taking jabs at each other on social media. N Closet also shared screenshots of a conversation that she had with Montrese via text message.

This drama was kicked off on social media when Montrese shared the following tweet:
“Good girl gone bad! I’m the right one to play with! #imcomingforyou feel me with your hate I will turn it into my strength!”
N Closet replied: “Liking this tweet from Norway.”
Montrese clapped back at N Closet’s response with a tweet that read:
“Don’t nobody care About you being in Norway girl! I’m working the world hoe! Doing my own gigs in between. When you have your own home, good credit, that gingivitis halitosis breath fixed, then I’ll be impressed!”
N Closet quote-tweeted Montrese’s reply with:
“Girl, Kahanna ‘Crimson Chin Montrese’ you live in Vegas the house market is cheap I could afford a house there. I’ll fix my credit when you fix that drooping ass. I took a sh*t in a parking lot and it got more press than you girl bye.”

In response to the tweets with screenshots, Twitter user @AfroBlondBarbi re-shared a video of Montrese that appears to be directed at N Closet. Montrese says in the video:
“[You are] trying to gaslight these people because you’re so good at playing the victim. And I’ll give you that, you’re an actress, so you got that over me. But I’m a real ass b*tch. When I tell you I’m coming for you, it is what it is. It’s on sight.”
As of this writing, N Closet’s final response came in the form of a tweet that read:
“To everyone sending messages and reminding me I’m a above this, you are right, let me get myself back together [heart emoji].”
