‘RuPauls Drag Race’ Onya Nurve Reveals If She Forgives Arrietty
What’s great reality television without a ruthless villain?
RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 17 seems to have found its villain in Arrietty. Upon her departure, the eliminated performer left a horrible message for her fellow competitor, Onya Nurve.
While fights and squabbles aren’t at all uncommon on Drag Race, it’s not every season that hateful words end up on a mirror, attacking another contestant.
Can Onya Nurve forgive Arrietty?
RuPaul’s Drag Race Star Onya Nurv Comments On Arrietty’s Horrid Attack
Around the country, fans’ jaws dropped when they realized Arrietty left one final message for her Drag Race competitor, Onya Nurv.
“As one smelly b*tch to another, Onya, please brush your teeth,” she wrote on a mirror in lipstick.
However, Onya Nurve ultimately chose to forgive her fellow competitor. According to Entertainment Weekly, Onya initially felt taken aback when she realized what the message said. However, it was water under the bridge immediately after it happened.
“Watching it on the show, I had to relive what I felt in real time, and it wasn’t fun,” Onya told the publication. “But the good thing about it is the fans had my back recently. So when bad things happen, good things are right around the corner. I forgive Arrietty. She’s a friend and, more importantly, a sister. And life moves on.”
In the world of drag, having fan support means everything. Onya went on to say that Arrietty is going to have a really rough time after fans saw the infamous lipstick message. She knows better than anyone that fans can be absolutely ruthless once they dislike a Drag Race performer.
“The only thing that I was thinking about is, she’s going to have to experience what I experienced, but times probably a hundred,” Onya added. “So I did nothing but feel bad for what I knew she was going to go through, because what I went through is probably just a fraction of the reaction she’s going to get for that incident.”
Fans Weren’t Sad To See Arrietty Exit The Competition
As previously noted, Arrietty is no longer competing on RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 17. She lost her lip sync battle against Jewels Sparkles, much to many viewers’ delight.
Sadly, Onya Nurv wasn’t the only performer who suffered at Arrietty’s hands. Throughout the episode, viewers believed she behaved horrifically and bullied Jewels.

Thankfully for most fans, Onya Nurv and Jewels Sparkles are still competing. They’re excited to see where the drag performers will go now that pot-stirrer Arrietty isn’t around to antagonize them.
