New York City queen opens up to EW about being the season’s biggest star to come up short.
sealed her fate, and an epic lip-sync against Heidi N Closet sent her packing.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Ineverexpected we’d be doing your elimination interview this early!
BRITA:Alas, here we are!
[Scream-laughs] New York!
I love making fun of it.
People take it too seriously.
I feel like Ihaveto make fun of it!
I don’t necessarily like the person I saw.
I was so driven that I lost sight of myself.
I let my sadness and insecurities get the best of me instead of embracing my faults.
I love Aiden…. At certain times, people can easily blame the edit, but not me.
I definitely said that s. Was I wrong?
Did I learn from it?
It was absolutely a genuine response.
I was able to work with Aiden the most throughout the competition.
I love Aiden, and we definitely made up.
Has receiving such harsh criticism changed the way you approach drag?
They let that bleed into the art that I create.
I’m proud of everything I brought.
I make a run at bring my community together…. That’s what I want to do after this: make cool fing art for queer people!
Everything that Alexis said was perfect.
I wasn’t coming for Alexis!
People are very silly, and they shouldn’t come for something like that.
Were you similarly shocked or do you think you deserved to be there?
Anything can happen in this competition.
I did my best and if they didn’t see it, so be it.
It’s good goddamn TV!
I also think you did a better job than Heidi in the lip-sync.
But you felt defeated performing that?
I didn’t see it.
I really wanted to make my parents and community proud.
When you’re in the bottom, the stress and the anxiety to do better really get to you.
It takes an entire week off your life when you’re in the bottom.
By the third time, I was like, I don’t know anymore.
I gave it my all and at the end of the day, they chose who they chose.
I regret the way that I acted at times, but I don’t regret my performances.
Your performances were good, but there were specific things they critiqued that felt odd.
It was an earring, like,what?
I’m not going to say anything!
But, for an earring, I thought it was silly.
But the mother of all mothers, that is her thing….
I lost the earrings I wasgoingto wear.
Blue-crystal drop-down earrings that were stunning.
Someone gave them to me right before I left, but I couldn’t find them.
I forgot where I put them in the moment and just had to grab other earrings.
I just picked the wrong ones.
Let’s pray for anAll-Starsredemption.
Another amazing thing you did this episode was yourRoger Rabbitdancewith Jamal Simsduring rehearsal.
How does one hone such grace and fluidity to do theRoger Rabbitlike that?
Dancing, out of everything, is the hardest thing for me.
It takes a lot of mind-body coordination.
You don’t say!
It takes Brita a little longer than most people.
We ended up cutting it at the end because I definitely couldn’t get it down.
I look likeGumbytrying to dance!
Your singing voice, though, like, comethrough, Miss Vocal Scholarship!
Those deep notes were kind of hot!
That’s what my training is in!
Did she ask you to do it this year?
No, she didn’t!
