Between my asscheeks?"
Stick a zebra print in her runway repertoire, because this Jambalaya is, sadly, cooked.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: I’m so sorry to see you go, but, first out is always iconic.

How are you feeling now that you’re an official member of the Pork Chop Loading Dock?
I’m with the hard-working girls that have something to prove.
Have you redecorated the Loading Dock with your expensiveHousewivestaste yet?

How has seeing yourself on national TV influenced that journey of self-confidence for you?
That’s always warped my perception of myself.
I went into this without a lot of experience in drag, it’s only been two-and-a-half years.
I thought, was I enough to complete in the Olympics with these heavyweights?
I was like, yeah, my headpiece came down, but I still gave a solid talent.
Just some extra calories, I’ll eat this chocolate later!
I was never really focused on the chocolate bar.
Ok, Miss June following the rules!
It was funny, you did tell Orion that you were disappointed to see the other queens come back!
I was like, yes, June is bringing theReal Housewiveshonesty.
I completely broke down after the first lip-sync.
We’re starting all over.
Where else am I supposed to hold it?
That’s what I thought!
In my mind was, “Where else was the bouquet supposed to go?
Between my asscheeks?”
I’m a jungle bride, I made my bouquet out of the jungle of Mother Earth.
I know things change in the moment in the ball.
The issue on the first episode was the hemline, so I didn’t want to do that.
Did you purposely design the dress you did wear to be easily removed in pieces for a lip-sync?
I crossed it, I knew a tube dress would suffice, and I draped some fabric around.
I was the only bride that had a train, I just want to point that out.
None of these brides had a train.
I had a feeling, because everyone was pretty solid in what they were doing.
On its own, when it was just hugging your form, it looked good.
A little tube sundress is a littleHousewives of Atlanta!
The critique came up again about polish, which you received on the first episode.
I don’t necessarily think it’s something I would’ve noticed unless the judges pointed it out.
I haven’t [heard it].
I spend the money on my drag!
She’s wearing good hair.
Even in ready-to-wear, she’s not always off-the-rack.
She revealed herself in Christopher John Rogers.
I know that what I do in photoshoots is different on TV because you see me at every angle.
How do you feel?
What’s going on?
Are you present in the moment?
Is this really what it’s crucial that you represent your drag?
Let’s go to this lip-sync because you gave us a show.
It might’ve been a chaotic show, but it was a show.
And the look of that stage when you were done was priceless.
I just told myself, girl, have fun and don’t care.
You’ve already made it.
I wanted to become that little boy in the room at 15 years old…. Let me just Tasmanian Devil!
I saw Jasmine pointing at me, and Daya, when I walked around I could see Orion.
I honestly think everyone got a grasp of my personality and who I am.
They were all so equally kind to me.
They could all see how badly I wanted it.
I knew from that moment that after Ru said chasse away, that it was my time.
Wait, did you just give me a Laganja and say ‘chasse?’
Sashay, chasse, walk away, bitch!
[Laughs]
People will remember your time on this show.
What’s next for you, June?
There’s going to be a lot of content coming out, and some surprises.
What can you tease?
In the words of Beyonce: I’mLemonade-ing [on] my Instagram and YouTube!
