The Catfish Who Wanted to "Teach Me a Lesson" (w/ Onya Nurve)

Drag queen superstar Onya Nurve (Winner of RuPaul's Drag Race S17) joins Nicole to talk about the time she was catfished on a dating app by a high school creep! Onya also sets the record straight on her true dynamic with the Season 17 girls, revealing why she felt like an outsider navigating the cast's social circle. She shares how her current girlfriend started out as her college bestie, the friction of taking her on tour as an assistant, and her journey to realizing she was pansexual.

Plus, they debate whether sharing your location is the ultimate red flag, discuss the crazy movie Obsession, and reveal the truth about why Onya was let go from a tour of Kinky Boots just days before opening.
