Sometimes, the Yellow Brick Road leads you to the Wizard of Oz — and, in other instances, straight to musical theater hell.

Such was the case for Acacia Forgot, the latest eliminated queen of RuPaul’s Drag Race season 17 whose singer-songwriter musicianship helped land her a spot among the cast of queens, before an army of BFA weaponizers flexed their almighty theatrical power during Friday night’s Wizard of Oz/The Wiz/Wicked-themed Rusical challenge, ultimately blowing her out of the competition like a Kansas twister.

Ahead, Acacia chats with Entertainment Weekly about her time on the show, including more tea on Kori King and Lydia B Kollins‘ relationship and the massive grudge she held against Suzie Toot during role selection for the Rusical.

RuPaul’s Drag Race season 17 continues Fridays on MTV. Read on for Acacia’s full exit interview.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: We started this journey in our group interview discussing Bob the Drag Queen and Monét X Change critiquing your Meet the Queens video. Have you spoken to either of them directly?

ACACIA FORGOT: I have not. From what I’ve seen, I just don’t think they like me, which is okay. They don’t have to. [Laughs] I went to Monét’s live show, so I’m a supporter and I love her. Don’t hate me, please!

Did the Wizard of Oz-themed Rusical challenge ruin Wizard of Oz or Wicked for you? Were you able to still see Wicked in theaters?

It took me a bit to get into that theater to see Wicked. I’ve always hated Wizard of Oz…. It just creeps me out. I don’t like it. But, Wicked? I love. I don’t think it dampens the whole Wicked side. But, Wizard of Oz, it just furthered my terror.

You fought with Suzie for the lead Rusical role. You said in a confessional that you were angry over that. Did any emotions from that linger and impact your performance?

I definitely think it affected my performance, because I’m a bitter bitch. I have Arnold Schwarzenegger-level muscles when it comes to holding a grudge. There’s nothing I like to do more than hold a grudge, but it brings me down. The rest of filming that episode, I was upset with how everything happened, and I felt bitter about it — even though Suzie tried to apologize a couple times, it came off as not genuine. I couldn’t let it go and it hindered me.

You and Suzie are okay now?

We’re all good now. She texted me when the preview came out and said she understands how this affected me, and that she was sorry. She knows what she did! [Laughs]

Did you feel in the moment that your performance wasn’t good in the judges’ eyes? Who do you think should’ve been in the bottom over you?

I knew I wasn’t doing great, but I didn’t think I was doing bad, necessarily. Rusical week was specifically hard because everyone was doing a great job. I think Kori and Lydia should’ve been in the bottom because I think they did worse than me. The judges said I didn’t give enough, but they said my performance was great, voice was great, outfit was amazing. So why was I in the bottom? Because not all these outfits were amazing, not all of these performances were amazing. I don’t think it was necessarily deserved, but I understand I didn’t give enough and maybe it was my time in general.

Kori and Lydia also had a romance reveal this episode. Did the cast clock this on set? Were there clues? I can’t tell if it’s a bit or not.

We always had a feeling, but also a kernel of doubt. Lydia is being coddled into the big, big biceps of Kori King, but they’re like, “Nothing is going on!” Then why are you guys basically making out in the corner? Clearly, something is happening. As far as I know now, it’s not a bit, but I truly never know what to expect with Kori.

There was nothing overt on set?

It was handsy. They were very flirtatious. But, so were Arrietty and Lucky Starzzz. You never know!

You opened up on this episode about cystic fibrosis. What inspired that decision to speak about it on air, and what do you hope people see in your story?

It’s something I’ve never talked about. I’ve hated talking about it. I feel like it was the time to open up, because it has completely changed the trajectory of my life. Even though I’m a very healthy person with cystic fibrosis, it’s the reason I was home-schooled and why I was treated a certain way and made me who I am. I felt like it was important to show that, just because I seem normal and healthy doesn’t mean I don’t have my own demons and things I have to deal with and life expectancies to think about — no matter how I appear.
