RuPaul’s Drag Race fan-favorite Eureka O’Hara has announced that they voluntarily admitted themselves into rehab. Eureka appeared on seasons 9 and 10 of RuPaul’s drag competition, as well as All-Stars 6. Outside of Drag Race, Eureka stars alongside Drag Race alums Shangela and Bob the Drag Queen on the HBO series We’re Here, where the three queens travel the country to introduce numerous rural communities to the artistry of drag. When not filming, Eureka O'Hara performs in drag performances around the US.
Compared to the other drag queens that have strutted the runway, Eureka’s Drag Race experience is a unique one. Eureka first appeared in season 9 as one of the main contenders but was forced to sashay away after suffering from an injury during one of the challenges. Luckily, RuPaul assured Eureka they’d be allowed to return for the tenth season of Drag Race where Eureka became a finalist. Shortly after filming, We’re Here, Eureka strutted into the Drag Race workroom again for All-Stars 6, where they made it to the top four. Eureka is famous for being one of the most vulnerable queens, encouraging others to share their truths on and off-camera. Eureka identifies as “genderfluid and gender-neutral” and uses they/them pronouns.
