Summary

With Bethenny Frankel’s “Reality Reckoning” lawsuit changing by the day, we figured it a great time to revisit this chat with Miss Peppermint. During this chat Peppermint detailed her time on Drag Race, the harsh filming conditions and the true gritty behind the scenes of how Reality TV works. Peppermint, who finished as runner-up in one of the most talked about seasons in Drag Race HERstory, takes us behind the scenes of Drag Race - what the casting and filming process was like, just how “hard” it was to make a great TV show, the other queens and what RuPaul is really like. We chat about her starring role on Broadway as Pythio in the epic Head Over Heels, a brilliant musical set to Go Go’s Music. Peppermint discusses her music inspirations such as Prince and what it was like to work with musical legends such as Debbie Harry. Let us not forget Peppermint’s stellar acting resume as well which includes parts in hit TV shows such as Ryan Murphy’s Pose.  @peppermint247 @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: HONEYLOVE - honeylove.com/velvet (20% Entire Order of The Best Shapewear) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.
