A moment from RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 18 has shocked viewers and made headlines this week after contestant Briar Blush fainted directly on the runway just moments after receiving a harsh critique from celebrity stylist Law Roach.
In footage that has been widely shared on social media, Briar appeared visibly overwhelmed minutes after Roach called her outfit “ugly,” leading to the collapse and immediate medical attention.
While she was cleared by producers and later eliminated after a lip sync battle, the incident sparked debate online about pressure in reality competitions, mental health, and how judgment is delivered on major televised shows.
