Victoria ‘Porkchop’ Parker was the first queen to exit the inaugural season of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” back in 2009. When she was on the show, it was significantly less popular than it is now, but she has been able to stay in the spotlight as over 100 other queens have come in and out of that bright pink workroom (via Entertainment Tonight).
Porkchop’s influence has lived on thanks in part to being the first queen to ever get eliminated from the show. When she chose to go on “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” it wasn’t an experience other members of the drag community thought would be worthwhile. She told Billboard she was fired by the manager of the nightclub she worked at in her North Carolina hometown. “He told me that I had made a horrible career decision, that it was going to be the worst thing I’d ever done,” she says. “So no, my RuPaul experience initially was not positive.”
It wasn’t just her early exit that kept her name in lights. It was a love from RuPaul herself that made her a “Drag Race” phenomenon.
