The drama between Jane and Amanda Tori Meating from RuPaul's Drag Race explained

RuPaul's Drag Race's first two episodes have already been released, and the new season has introduced its fans to 14 drag queens.

The official preview of RuPaul's Drag Race season 16 episode 3 gave viewers a glimpse of tensions arising between Jane and Amanda Tori Meating. Following its release on January 19, 2024, fans were taken aback by how Jane called Amanda’s drag “hideous.”

While introducing herself to her fellow castmates, Jane was quick to point out her dislike for Amanda's drag. In response to Jane's comment, Amanda sarcastically “apologized to the Drag Race audience for having to witness such a goblin.”

Prior to the release of episode 3, the two began publicly feuding on social media platform X. On January 18, Amanda reposted a video from RuPaul's Drag Race official account with the caption:

"Much to say but those NDAs are still tight, miss girl.”

As it is mandatory for contestants participating in a reality TV show to sign a non-disclosure agreement, Amanda openly states that she cannot discuss everything just yet. Amanda threw shade at Jane, acknowledging how Jane was quick to call her “hideous." She posted another post on X, saying:

“Sure I may have looked hideous at the beginning of last summer but nothing could be more hideous than a hating ass b*tch. I already fixed my mug but I hear the other thing is a long-term condition. Hope that girl gets better someday!”

Jane was quick to reply to the post, Amanda had made throwing shade at her:

RuPaul's Drag Race contestant Amanda, however, made sure her fans knew she was against sending hate to Jane.

Following this encounter, viewers started sharing their thoughts about how Amanda was quick to post about the drama she's involved in, just after two episodes were released. User u/starmieboy13 commented under a subreddit thread titled Amanda Tori Meating vs. Plane Jane:

"You can't be this sensitive already it's only the second episode and you're sub-tweeting your castmates. You're going to come for Jane about her confessional but your entire first group the whole episode they dogged your makeup. It's not that personal...I hope this don't cloud her online presence because she's such a star it shouldn't be that serious."

Fans were discussing that the drama between Amanda and Jane was just a fun shade, not anything serious.
