'RuPaul's Drag Race' star Gottmik's bloody top surgery look sent conservatives, including Megyn Kelly, into a frenzy: 'It is a piece of art,' Gottmik said.
Megyn Kelly called the look "sick & obviously misogynistic" amid a flurry of conservative pushback over the bloody "Drag Race" runway ensemble.Entertainment Weekly's Oscars expert, 'RuPaul's Drag Race' beat reporter, host of 'Quick Drag' Twitter Spaces, and cohost of 'EW's BINGE' podcast. Almost all of the drag content on this site is my fault .
In the most recent episode of the reality competition, Gottmik displayed a unique take on the runway theme of "A Tail and Two Titties" after breaking ground as the first trans man to ever compete onrunway on Friday night wearing a latex skirt and corset and a pair of fake arms draped around her holding scalpels that moved against her exposed chest, with red streaks representing incisions under her nipples.
"This look is something I've been wanting to do for so long, because top surgery absolutely changed my life," Gottmik said on the show."I don’t even know what to say about this look besides THANK YOU. This look is beyond just me. It is a piece of art and fashion that represents something that I never thought I’d be vulnerable enough to talk about let alone wear on the runway," she wrote alongside a series of photos of the piece's details.
During her initial run on the show, Gottmik sported another runway design that saw her proudly display her chest while wearing nothing but a small black dress on her lower half. In an interview with EW before the premiere of "I’d just started physically transition,” Gottmik explained of joining the season. “There has to be a moment where I‘m naked. I’ve never seen a trans guy on TV at all, let alone with their body out. This could be that moment. Honey, this is going to be the littlest black dress ever. I love a tongue-in-cheek, funny, smart, outfit moment, and on top of that, needed that trans body moment.
