Purse first? More like piss first, as RuPaul’s Drag Race winner Bob the Drag Queen reveals he once had to take a risk, take a chance, make a change, and breakaway to relieve himself into a water bottle aboard Kelly Clarkson’s private jet.
The season 8 drag superstar and Traitors season 3 alum spilled all on the most recent episode of his Sibling Rivalry podcast with fellow Drag Race winner Monét X Change, recalling that he and his assistant Kennedy were in a bit of a travel predicament as he attempted to get to the set of former HBO competition series Legendary to be a guest judge.
Bob informed Monét that HBO offered to transport them via private plane in order to make it on time. They went through a private entrance to “a very small plane,” Bob remembered, before revealing it belonged to the pop star and talk show host.
“Somehow they had access to Kelly Clarkson’s jet. We just got on the plane, it was just us two and the driver,” Bob said, before Monét comically pointed out that it was actually a pilot, not a driver.

“Then, we just flew straight from there. There’s no toilet on there and I had to use the restroom,” Bob continued. “Kennedy had to distract the pilot while I peed in a Fiji bottle in the back of Kelly Clarkson’s private jet.”
Bob said Kennedy asked the pilot about the distance to their destination, and that “we could see him, he could see us” in close quarters.
“I’m sure this has happened before,” Monét said, since there’s no bathroom on the plane.
Continued Bob, “I didn’t want to have the conversation, so I just asked Kennedy to ask him some questions while I peed in the bottle. Then I had to take the Fiji bottle off the plane and throw it away in the airport.”
Entertainment Weekly has reached out to a representative for Clarkson for comment.
Believe it or not, Bob’s admission about his bladder’s emission is not the first recent pee-based reveal involving RuPaul’s Drag Race alums.
In an interview tied to season 15 of the series, eventual winner Sasha Colby exclusively told EW she relieved herself on the Main Stage of the show after she couldn’t hold it in as she watched a lip-sync duel from behind the contestants.
“Luxx [Noir London] was the one who clocked the accident as they exited the stage. She was like, ‘There’s a little wet spot,’ and I was like, ‘I know, I’m very well aware.’ She definitely called me out on the next episode after that!” Sasha said at the time.

In March, season 17 queen and current All Stars 10 competitor Lydia B Kollins also exclusively revealed to EW that she peed in the infamous Badonka Dunk Tank after Michelle Visage pulled the trigger and dunked her during a mini challenge that EW was also on set for.
Meanwhile, Lydia’s season sister and boyfriend, Kori King, admitted to peeing in Dunkin’ cups fans had clocked as being filled with yellow liquid in social media videos. “If you’re drunk, coming home from the club? Bitch, the cup is there. I’m too lazy,” Kori told EW earlier this year. “Sorry, I don’t live in a shoebox. My bathroom is all the way downstairs and I’m in the middle of making queer art. The art can’t leave the room.”
