RuPaul’s Secret Celebrity Drag Race Season 2 premieres Friday, with nine celebrities taking the stage. However, before the first episode ended, award-winning American actress Loretta Devine was dropped from Season 2 of this hit series. The second season of the VH1 reality series begins with a new structure that hides the identities of celebrities until the removal is complete. At the end of the show, the winner of “America’s Next Celeb Drag Superstar” will receive $100,000 for a charity of their choice.
Loretta Devine, aka Fabulosity, sped away, her voice announcing her presence even before she stepped onto the podium. Devine has a net worth of $10 million and has played a variety of roles in theater and television.

Loretta Devine was eliminated from RuPaul’s Secret Celebrity Drag Race
The internet says I’m married to a man named Lamar Tyler. Who is that ? He said I had a child? I don’t know anything about childbirth! Answer Africa and you were wrong. Why? Do they make things up? The fake news you want.

Grey’s Anatomy’s Loretta Devine appeared as Fabulosity in the second season of RuPaul’s Secret Celebrity Drag Race. She is the penultimate actress in the first episode. The actress commented on her role as Fabulosity:
“I’ve had a fascinating career. I never imagined I’d enter a sledding competition, but I’m at an age where I can do whatever I want! What do you think? It’s fresh and exciting, and I can’t wait to see how great I look!”
The actress chose the nickname Fabulosity because she wanted to be “playful and a little funny”. She stated:
“Extraordinary, she is the missing piece among all the great divas of the world.” That’s what makes her so great. I’m just waiting to see if I can do it. This will surprise everyone. She is wonderful. She is amazing.”
The judges gave the mix “Just Fine” by Mary J. Blige, asking her to believe in herself more. According to Judge Kressley:
“Some moves and dances can be a little shaky, but remember you have the best support staff in the entire drag world working with you.”
After Fabulosity was eliminated from the competition, she revealed her true identity as Loretta. In the second season of the reality show, she was the first contestant to be eliminated. Watch RuPaul’s Secret Celebrity Drag Race Season 2 cult sequel on VH1 on Friday.
