One day after her romantic partner, Josh Seiter, was erroneously reported to be dead, 'RuPaul's Drag Race' queen Monica Beverly Hillz alleges to EW that the 'Bachelorette' star faked his own death.
"I'm baffled," says Monica, who does not believe Seiter's account of being hacked. "I'm angry. I'm happy he's alive, I'm happy he's here, but this is so infuriating to me."
Reached for comment Tuesday, Seiter denied perpetrating the hoax himself. "Those are all ridiculous accusations made up by somebody with nothing better to do with their time," he said in an email. "As a mental health advocate, issues of suicide are very sensitive for me. To suggest that I would orchestrate a death post around that issue is sickening. I have dedicated the last 8 years of my life blogging and raising awareness about mental health, and I will continue to do so.
Read on for Monica's in-depth account of her relationship with Seiter and the fallout from erroneous reports about his death.| Credit: World of Wonder/Paramount+; Josh Seiter/ Instagram ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: I want to start with some background on your relationship with Josh. How did you meet, and were you officially a couple?I've known Josh and known of Josh for many years now. We used to work in the same circuit. I did drag at the time, and he was a go-go dancer. This was right after my first stint onin 2015. We fell out of contact, but I'd comment on his stuff because he was beautiful, he was sickening, of course I was going to sneak into the DMs.
Honestly, I was happy to be away from him. I already moved on. Now, finding out supposedly my ex died, he's dead on a Monday and alive on a Tuesday, I don't have the words. I'm baffled. I'm angry. I'm happy he's alive, I'm happy he's here, but this is so infuriating to me. Being involved and being a trans woman of color, speaking about certain situations, not letting men use us for our glamour and spotlight, and here's this guy doing all of this stuff.
