'Drag Race's Kween Kong, Nehellenia & Vanity Vain are still fighting—here's why

This 'Global' feud continues!

Editor's note: this story has been updated to include Kween Kong's latest statement on Global All Stars.

The first season of RuPaul's Drag Race Global All Stars ended with Alyssa Edwards snatching the crown, but the ongoing feud between Kween Kong, Nehellenia, and Vanity Vain is still going on after the series' grand finale.

Earlier this month, Nehellenia revealed that she asked Global All Stars producers to disqualify Kween Kong from the competition after feeling like the Drag Race Down Under season 2 alum was "bullying" her.

Kween reacted to that revelation with an Instagram story that read:

"The irony here is — if we're going to talk off-camera — you know exactly why I came for you so [harshly] in Untucked. When Athena [Likis] said that me and Soa [de Muse] have the best family resemblance, you know exactly what you said to Soa that upset her, [which was] the reason that I came for you."

Even though Global All Stars has now ended, the ongoing feud between Nehellenia and Kween lives on — and it now involves other queens who competed in the season.

Vanity Vain claimed that Nehellenia acted differently 'when the cameras are off.'

Drag Race Sverige season 1 queen Vanity Vain spilled some tea about Global All Stars during a live gig, which was captured (and translated) in a video reposted on Reddit.

In the clip, Vanity claimed that Nehellenia acted differently off-camera, and alleged that the Drag Race Italia season 2 star actually had a bigger fight than what was shown between Kween and Nehellenia throughout the season.

Vanity said in the video:

"I don't do all that; I tell you like it is directly. Before the brain thinks, the mouth just starts to run. Alyssa and Nelly [already the ones] who had a real ass fight. Nelly… I mean, I love her, but Nelly does have another side to her when the cameras are off. I'll just leave it at that."

Nehellenia clapped back at Vanity Vain on social media.

As Vanity Vain's video went viral, Nehellenia shared an X (formerly Twitter) post clapping back at those accusations. The post, which has since been deleted, read:

"So... different viewing party, different version? Vanity, I love you, but how [was] I different out of cameras? It's a serious question, because I would really like to understand how I had such a different side to what has been seen."

The X post is gone, but it was captured by PinkNews in a report that circulated within the Drag Race fandom and made its way to Kween Kong.

Kween Kong broke her silence after the 'Global All Stars' finale.

Kween Kong didn't share many — or, frankly, any — social media posts after the grand finale of Global All Stars was released on Friday, October 25. Specifically, the Down Under star only shared a statement via Instagram stories on Sunday, October 27, which read:

"Thank you for all the messages and love everyone. Obviously, the season is over and I haven't posted much at all since halfway through the season because the online games just got beyond crazy. I'll do a post soon to wrap things up, but for all the people that keep sending me the @pinknews article from today — yes, l've seen it. Yes, l've spoken about it with some of the girls who feel the same…"

"No need to keep sending it to me," Kween concluded. "I'm just processing the entire journey, from filming the show to watching the cut. Will speak about it when I'm ready."

Nehellenia & Vanity Vain continued sharing social media posts, unlike Kween Kong.

Unlike Kween Kong — who understandably asked Drag Race fans to give her some time to process her feelings — Vanity Vain and Nehellenia didn't take any social media hiatus following the Global All Stars finale. With that said, they didn't react to Kween's statement shared via Instagram stories, either.

Kween, who was recently announced as a special guest on Drag Race Down Under season 4, did slowly return to social media to share her thoughts regarding the cast of queens in that new season. And on Wednesday, October 30, the Down Under alum finally shared an official post looking back on Global All Stars and reflecting on her journey in the international series.

Kween Kong shared her final thoughts on 'Global All Stars.'

Kween Kong wrote in a new Instagram post from Wednesday, October 30:

"I just want to say a huge thank you to my village of supporters who have held me down through this season and shown me immense love. I think, if any of you watched my original season, you'd know I've weathered many storms and have always come through them with grace, love, and a greater understanding of myself through it all. Coming back this season, I left my inner saboteur at home and came to the studio to play and have fun. 'Well rounded, fully seasoned professional' — I am that through and through. But on my best day, I still stand in front of you personally as a work in progress."

"This storm that I'm going through now will pass," she added. "And though I'm standing in it soaking wet, I know, like all things I've been through in my life, I'll embrace the journey and grow to be 10 times stronger. My intentions with my journey through the show was never to hurt or upset anyone. It pains me to feel misunderstood in moments seen, as I really was delivering the best version of myself I could be at that time, both good and bad."

Kween continued, "Lessons have been learned, and boundaries have been created, moving forward. I left filming this season a year ago so proud of everything I did, and how I represented my communities and countries that I have championed my entire career. I know my work in my communities speaks for itself. This isn't the end of my journey, this is a new beginning. And as my sister, role model, and newly-crowned Global All Star [Alyssa Edwards] has shown me, 'Winning isn't everything, but wanting to is.' Consistency always wins the pageant, and everything gets better with age."

"Thank you so much to my soul mothers RuPaul and Michelle Visage for changing my world and helping me realize my potential," Kween wrote in conclusion. "All the girls from this cast, [thank you] for this epic experience. And huge thanks to my family at World of Wonder for creating this platform for me and my sisters to shine, and Paramount+ for bringing the season to life. We may not have taken the crown this time, but best believe I'll be back for the title when it is my time [heart emoji]. #BookmarkOnKween #Grateful."

All episodes of RuPaul's Drag Race Global All Stars are now streaming on Paramount+. Plus, make sure to watch Drag Race Down Under season 4 when it premieres this Friday, November 1 on WOW Presents Plus.
