Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman Talks About The Hate He Received While Hosting “Canada’s Drag Race”
The RuPaul’s Drag Race spin-off, Canada’s Drag Race, is going into its second season. And when the second season was announced, we learned that season 1 judge, Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman would not be back. The official reason given was that Jeffrey was too busy filming the Disney+ Doogie Howser, M.D. reboot, Doogie Kameāloha, M.D., and added he’d be very missed. But it sounds like even if his schedule was free, he’d pass on doing a second season. While promoting the Doogie reboot, Jeffrey talked to The Hollywood Reporter and said that he was absolutely shocked about the amount of hate he got from Drag Race fans. And I mean hate hate – Jeffrey says a lot of it was dripping in racism.
Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman Won’t Be Returning As A Judge On “Canada’s Drag Race”
Because everything RuPaul touches turns into a multi-series franchise, Canada’s Drag Race, the lower-budget but highly entertaining northern equivalent of RuPaul’s Drag Race, will be back for a second season. If they’re bringing back elements of the inaugural season, I hope to once again see plenty of plaid and fighting in a range of accents (west coast, francophone, Durham Region). But one element that won’t be returning for Season 2 of Canada’s Drag Race is Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman. I guess you could call Jeffrey the Merle Ginsberg of Canada’s Drag Race because he’s a one-and-done kind of judge.
