But, she felt the toll of the backlash resonate far beyond the confines of a TV screen.
“I had to learn how to rebuild myself.”
and a deliberately reserved approach to the challenges.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Silky!
I’m so gutted we’re talking about your elimination.
You’re an incredible force, you deserve all the credit in the world.

SILKY NUTMEG GANACHE:It’s ok!
It might not be the end!
It’s never the end with Silky.
I have no clue.
You’d already been booked, and you were removed while you were on the flight?
I was so upset.Vanjiewas so upset.
I went there, we drank and cried all night because this was the treatment that I was getting.
Not only through them, but I was getting it through my agent as well.
That should be a courtesy that the girl drinks for free!
I donated all my tips to each girl of every show I’d been in.
We’re talking thousands of dollars.
You didn’t deserve any of that.
I’m heartbroken, because I’ve done a lot for my gay community.
In what ways did you all provide support each other?
I almost quit drag.
A’Keria and Ra’Jah picked me up and lifted me.
They became coaches or mentors.
Those girls were by my side and helped me move on with drag and to not second-guess myself.
It was very strange, and it was kind of demeaning.
Alyssa [Edwards] called, Shangela called, Vanjie, those girls helped me prepare forAll Stars.
Alyssa said, “You know what, Silky?
You have to go on.
On that note, we saw that you and A’Keria voted for each other.
InUntucked, we see that she gave you permission to vote for her.
It’s not just on friendship.
I felt like Jan did the worst in the challenge.
If you go to the week before, Jan brought that blue corset from home and just decorated it.
I felt like she didn’t put effort into the challenge.
Jan is a singer and didn’t sing live at the talent show.
I based it on efforts….
The voting was weird….
I didn’t feel like we should’ve voted forSerena [ChaCha].
Serena didn’t have the worst talent show.
That’s how I felt.
But, hashtag #SilkyIsComing, it might not be over for me!
Can you explain a little more on what you helped with?
That hurt me to my core.
I knew what was going on.
Her jacket and her corset, twice!
I’m getting eliminated and I’m up here getting hit!
[Laughs] She apologized.
She was having her own moment, so I can’t be mad!
She didn’t do it on purpose!
What’s next for Silky, besides your book,Cocktails for a Queen?
At this point, I no longer have an agent.
I just want to conquer the world.
I want to entertain.
I’m going to do everything that I want in this world independently.
I want to live my best, authentic life.
That’s all I can give right now.
