RuPaul’s Drag Race alumni Katya Mattel — otherwise known by her full drag name of Yekaterina Petrovna Zamolodchikova but more commonly as just Katya — is a force to reckon with in the drag world. After debuting on season 7, she quickly established an acclaimed comedy touring career as well as hosting her own Viceland talk show and starting new podcasts as well as appearing in movies and other television programs.

Katya recently took to Instagram with a post that caused an uproar among online community. Under the caption, “FREE PALESTINE”, it prompted sharp critique. Katya quickly issued an apology noting that her comment wasn’t meant as offensive and her intentions were good.

While details regarding Katya’s personal struggles must remain private, she continues to make progress on her recovery journey and hopes to return to the public eye soon. On 25 April she shared a post reassuring fans who expressed concern regarding the future of their tour with fellow queen Trixie Mattel for their Bald and Beautiful podcast; specifically they confirmed stops in Cincinnati, Ohio and Indianapolis, Indiana will go forward as planned.
