Utica's Performance on RuPaul's Drag Race Raises Controversy

The latest episode of RuPaul's Drag Race sparked controversy when contestant Utica made some questionable comments and jokes during a comedy roast challenge. The performance was met with mixed reviews from social media, with some viewers accusing Utica of 'fatphobia' for her weight-related jokes.

Utica took to the stage to deliver her set, but things quickly went awry. She made light of Loni's comedy career by saying it was 'hard to swallow,' and proceeded to make whale noises towards Nina before asking if she could speak whale. Additionally, Utica told Heidi that she reminded her of people from her farm upbringing - gap-toothed and full of semen.

The judges were not impressed with Utica's performance, and special guest star Loni Love even warned her that her material was too 'mean' and 'harsh.' Michelle Visage also cautioned Utica about the impact of her jokes on others. Despite these warnings, Utica failed to take their advice on board and continued to make controversial comments.

Utica has since issued an apology for her 'crude' jokes in the latest episode of RuPaul's Drag Race. In a statement, she acknowledged that she is still learning what is comedy and what is offensive, saying: 'When it got off the rails, I started grasping for straws and trying to save myself.'

The controversy surrounding Utica's performance has raised questions about the limits of acceptable humor on reality TV shows. While some viewers may have found her jokes entertaining, others felt that they were mean-spirited and crossed a line.

As the competition continues on RuPaul's Drag Race, contestants will need to tread carefully to avoid similar controversies. In the meantime, fans are left wondering what Utica will do next to salvage her reputation and prove herself as a talented and respectful performer.
