RuPaul: Blocking Out the Bullshit (FBF)

Alex Cooper
About this episode

Join Alex in the studio for a very raw interview with RuPaul! Alex and RuPaul discuss when he feels his most confident and why he prefers to be alone. RuPaul talks about his childhood and how he always knew he was different from the other kids. He opens up about his parents’ broken relationship, the day his mom tried to set his father’s car on fire, and how he found himself mimicking their toxic behaviors in his own life. Alex and RuPaul discuss emotionally unavailable men, why it’s so important to break the cycle of bad partners, and how it truly doesn’t matter what other people think of you. RuPaul tells some crazy stories from his early days in the club scene and gets real about what he was doing to avoid confronting his feelings. RuPaul opens up about meeting his husband, falling in love, breaking up, and how they ultimately found their way back to each other. This interview is full of wisdom and shows a side of RuPaul we’ve never seen before… Enjoy!
