Hi ugly, it's me … and welcome back to my channel.
Today we've got some tea and hot gossip to discuss. We'll be going over what went
down at the 73rd annual Emmys involving Ru Paul's Drag Race and how that led to
us discovering Tamisha Iman's block list is a lot longer than we thought. And in
a surprise twist that only Laganja could have expected, we'll be taking a look at
what appears to be the official re-launch of the Timisia Iman network. Let's get started.
First up the Emmys. Ru attended this year's Emmys with Simone and Gotmik in tow and while Simone's
presence there was no surprise considering she won the season and Ru’s been taking her
on a bit of a media tour, notably on the jimmy camel show, which was super fun to see them do
a little interview on, but it had me wondering, where is Candy? Who technically placed second on
the season. And was arguably a big reason that Ru Paul’s drag race Untucked won its very first
Emmy for unstructured reality show this year for the sixth straight year in a row.
Ru Paul took home an Emmy for outstanding host of a reality or competition program and the show won
the outstanding competition series Emmy for the fourth year in a row. Excitingly, this officially
makes Ru Paul the most Emmy-awarded black artist ever with a total of 11 Emmys. But back to Candy:
Following the ceremony on September 20th, Candy reposted the announcement for Untucked winning an
Emmy on her instagram writing “she has me blocked but Tamisha girl, look at what we did.” But I was
a little surprised to learn that Tamisha still had Candy blocked on instagram. The last thing
we heard about their relationship was that they had largely come to what seemed to be
an understanding. “Thank you hopefully they can put this into the universe that yeah …
we got on him we duked it out and guess what? We good. Love you sis. See you when I see you
girl”Regardless, shortly after Candy's post Tamisha Iman did re-share a screenshot of that
post to her instagram story adding this: “Thanks Candy. Yes we did that, now run us our Emmys.”
Interestingly this sparked the discussion about who is and isn't blocked by Tamisha Iman on
social media. Joey Nolfi who covers Drag Race and Dragula entertainment stories on Entertainment
Weekly and hosts their podcast binge tweeted out on September 21st that he was blocked by
Tamisha Iman on Twitter. Someone on Twitter asked Joey for a backstory on why he might be blocked,
and he just responded, “truly no idea. I only tweeted excitement over the Tamisha
Iman network a few months ago and then four months later I’m blocked. Oh well.”
And then the situation got more curiouser. Denali retweeted that tweet showing a
screenshot from her end showing that she too was blocked. It seems that Denali is also
unclear on the block situation but fans are speculating it could be due
to Denali tweeting this out back in July: “These slides will actually make it to you too.”
while advertising some new slides in her merch collection that had her name printed on them.
And Denali didn't tag anybody when she tweeted this but this was kind of in the
middle of lots of fan discussion online about the slowness of fulfillment of Tamisha Iman’s merch
and information from Tamisha Iman herself openly discussing her issues fulfilling orders.
“My customers have have not gotten their merchandise. Number one, I don't run
my merch. Anytime I get a message about merch, I usually forward it to someone on my team. I am
personally going through all of the orders to see what did not get in so I do apologize for that.”
So it does feel like the two is probably some slight shade directed towards her season 13
sister. Tamisha is also apparently blocked by she who now no longer claims her as her drag mother.
Interestingly a quick check of who Tamisha is following on instagram reveals that she is
currently only following Elliott and Kahmora from her entire cast of season 13 sisters.
Tamesha the block is coming for you. So after the blocking debacle, de block-el if you will,
on the 21st Tamisha Iman announced Tamisha Tuesdays on instagram with this voice note:
“What's going on everybody, listen it is Tamisha I am coming to have a conversation
with my supporters and tomorrow is the date for the conversation. It is Tamesha Tuesday.”
She followed up on Tuesday with an invitation to join a webinar where she had some things to say.
She begins the webinar by addressing the rumor that she's been stealing from fans by not
fulfilling merch orders. She claims that this is racist and that as of last week she has caught up
and has now fulfilled 98% of all orders. In fact she says the opposite is true,
claiming that 45% of all the orders she filled have actually issued chargebacks.
Meaning that those customers received merch for free. She says that she didn't dispute
any of those chargebacks but it was unclear to me whether she was doing that out of good
faith or vindictiveness because she later announced that she would be making a video
exposing everybody that had issued a charge back to her and gotten merch without paying.
All I can say is if you've issued a chargeback, watch out, Tamisha Iman is coming for you.
She then proceeds to discuss fan reactions to her appearance on Drag Race around the world
and moves on to what we're all here for: the Tamisha Iman network. If you remember,
it was originally announced as her own media network, complete with a Roku app that you could
join and get exclusive weekly content through for only $25 a month. Of course billed three months in
advance for an upfront charge of $75 or $15.99 per show. However what fans actually got when
originally signing up for the network was only one piece of content over the past several months. The
conversation with Candy’s new video that again she ended up releasing for free to preempt
illegal uploads, she says. In good faith to make up for all of that she has now announced
free Tamisha Iman network subscriptions through February for anybody that's already paid for their
subscription. She then proceeds to reveal just how busy she's been while being quiet on social
media over the past couple of months, announcing a slew of network services and physical products.
But before we go any further I do want to remind you that you can support king on only fans by

There's gonna be a podcast called Tamisha Iman: She's Built Different and a radio show available
via an iPhone app that you can already download called TIN Radio airing Monday through Friday 6am
to 8am, which you can literally already download. And as of a few minutes ago it was playing like a
Beyonce remix song which is apparently part of her plan to play a lot of ballroom vogue music. And I
think this officially makes her the first rude girl to have launched a radio station available
via an app. Kind of iconic. She also announces a cosmetic line coming out on October 5th,
her birthday. But don't get too excited about the new makeup, it seems like the image of the bronzer
palette that she's advertising on her website is actually a stock image from an alley express
highlighter and bronzer palette, which isn't necessarily a bad thing if she
is just ordering these and rebranding them as Tamisha Iman makeup, but I think it would be
nice for her to share with us where she's getting her product so we can evaluate as consumers if
we trust the product or not. She also announces a new merch store launching tomorrow September 23rd.
And if you are interested in helping her with any of this she says she's hiring. You can contact her
via email to join her team and help Tamisha Iman network reach all corners of the globe.
Later in the webinar she discussed some of the sisterhood drama that we mentioned earlier
saying that she doesn't hate Denali but doesn't want to be her friend
because no one stood up for her including Denali and she also clarified she has most
of the season 13 girls blocked on instagram, not because she hates them, but because she says that
they don't feel like sisters to her. She also says that they all have her phone number and
can call her at any time but Kahmora and Elliott are the only ones that call. She then jumps kind
of back and forth between talking about all the different services and answering questions from
fans and during the webinar somebody asked in the chat if she was the reddit user alabama_star.
This was an account getting accused on reddit and other platforms like twitter of being Tamisha's
secret burner account. And from what I can tell, this account was created on September 21st
and posted pretty much only about Tamisha. For example on a reddit post sharing a screenshot
of Denali's screenshot showing that she was blocked by Tamisha, alabama_star chimed in
writing “you lovely people need to start minding your own business. If Tamisha Iman blocked Denali,
she probably has good reasons. You can hate the icon since you will never be here.” And on another
post where a user was sharing a screenshot showing that Tamisha Iman had quote “cancelled their
subscription,” alabama_star chimed in writing “my love believe me Tamisha Iman is a very
honest person and she would never scam anyone. The hate against her from the fan base is vile”
And I do want to point out this reddit post was made four months ago so this alabama_star user
was definitely just searching for the name Tamisha and found it to chime in on. And then what I think
is the funniest comment from this user, they posted on the Formula One reddit thread which
is like a thread for literal cars drag racing and wrote, “all the trolls don't seem to realize that
Tamisha Iman has built an empire from the ground up. Jealous people have taken it upon themselves
to vilify and slander her and his tomfoolery is incredibly common with black queens and black
entertainers. All these white queens can f up a billion times but all it takes is for Tamisha
Iman to have a couple issues with her website and all of a sudden she is a scammer. Tamisha Iman has
a colostomy bag and can still accomplish 10 times more than these whites that the public eulogized
so much, nevertheless she is an icon and will remain one regardless of social media trolls.”
Perhaps the funniest part of this being that Tamisha actually shared a screenshot of this
comment from the account on her instagram story and wrote “I don't know who this is but I want
to say publicly, ‘thank you.’” So Tamesha denied being alabama_star in the zoom call
and later on Twitter denied being alabama_star saying “I am Tamisha Iman my love I don't
have to create a fake account, thank you for the love, I appreciate it.”
But sadly it seems alabama_star is putting down her phone for good. In the midst of Tamisha
getting accused of being this person across multiple different platforms alabama_star
posted on the reddit RPDR drama thread writing “I am not Tamisha Iman. I will from now on no longer
be posting on reddit as it is full of jealous individuals who have so much hatred in their heart
towards queens and entertainers. I am not Tamisha Iman, only a supporter for the last 30 years.”
But what was the truth was alabama_star tamisha iman? Who knows but there are some obvious
coincidences. Tamisha herself is a star from Alabama and both alabama_star and Tamisha use the
phrase “my love” when talking to people online. But accusing her of being some anonymous reddit
user that has been denied by both the reddit user and Tamisha is really not going to do any good for
anybody so in this situation I would say it feels best to just have a laugh and drop it completely.
She ends the webinar by clarifying her merch is good quality and that people wish they had
careers as long as she does. So there you have it, the Tamisha Iman network is back
and I wish her only the best of luck in all her avenues of entrepreneurship. I think at
the end of the day we're all rooting for her or as Kahmora says rooting for us.
