Ru Paul Blocked Courtney Act After Season 6 Post
Courtney Act says ru paul blocked her on social media shortly after Season 6 aired, after she publicly called out a transphobic term and then tried to defend the trans community in a Facebook post. She says the block later turned into an unblock after Todrick Hall relayed a blunt message from RuPaul.
Season 6 and the block
Courtney Act said the dispute started when she objected to the show using a transphobic term that rhymes with female. She said RuPaul answered concern about the T-slur by saying, "If you’re worried about me calling you a word, then you’ve got bigger problems." After that, she said she posted on Facebook in what she thought was a careful attempt to defend the trans community.
"I thought this was really thoughtful. Ru’s going to really appreciate me engaging in intelligent conversation rather than just internet slander," she said. The result, in her telling, was short and blunt: "Blocked."
Todrick Hall’s phone call
Courtney Act said Todrick Hall later stepped in and called RuPaul about the block. She recalled telling him, "This must be a mistake. Let me message Ru." Hall, she said, spoke with RuPaul for nearly an hour before returning with a message that left no room for interpretation.
"Well, it wasn’t an accident that she blocked you, and she knows that we’re friends, and so she asked that I don’t go into the details, but she did say that I could tell you: I just don’t like you," she said Hall told her. Courtney Act then said, "And then I got unblocked."
Why the rift still lands
Courtney Act said she still has respect for RuPaul, but she does not expect to appear on a season of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars anytime soon. That makes the story less about a single social-media dispute than about an old fracture that never fully healed, especially because it sits inside a broader Drag Race conversation over language aimed at trans people.
RuPaul’s Drag Race is streaming on Paramount+, and Courtney Act’s account gives fans a specific reason to read any future All Stars casting tea with caution. If she is ever brought back into that orbit, the barrier is not just scheduling; it is the personal history she says played out over a Facebook post, a phone call, and one line about not liking her.
