RuPaul's Drag Race alum Katya checks into treatment, postpones tour with Trixie Mattel to 'rectify my ass'

RuPaul's Drag Race alum Katya is postponing dates on her joint tour with Trixie Mattel to focus on her sobriety.

The season 7 Miss Congeniality and All Stars 2 finalist revealed that she's seeking treatment for her struggles with addiction in an Instagram Reel shared on Tuesday. "There’s a saying for the active alcohol or drug addict," Katya began the video. "The trajectory of the life course has three possible outcomes: A) jail B) institutions or C) death. Unfortunately, I find myself squarely and firmly and quite uncomfortably in the B camp right now."

"But in an effort to make things good with you in the future," she continued, "I gotta make things good for me right now. Rescheduled dates or loss of money will be rectified as swiftly and competently as possible. I gotta swiftly and competently rectify my ass right now." Katya concluded her message by thanking fans for their patience and compassion.

Touring company Obsessed shared a message of support for Katya on Tuesday. "When it comes to our talent, their mental and physical well being always has been and will remain our first priority," the company wrote on Instagram. "We wish Katya the best and send her our unwavering love and support as she navigates this step in her health."

Obsessed added, "We appreciate your grace as we work to reschedule shows and focus on supporting our talent and friend. In order to respect both Katya and Trixie’s privacy at this time we will not be responding to social media comments."

Katya has been candid about her mental health and drug addiction struggles since she first appeared on season 7 of Drag Race. She previously stepped away as cohost of Viceland'sThe Trixie & Katya Show due to those struggles and ultimately sought treatment in 2018. The emotional fallout between the friends was chronicled in Trixie's 2019 documentary Trixie Mattel: Moving Parts.

The dynamic duo reconciled, reuniting for their YouTube series UNHhhh, launch the podcast The Bald and the Beautiful, host Netflix webseries I Like To Watch With Trixie and Katya, and co-write the New York Times bestseller Trixie and Katya's Guide to Modern Womanhood.

Upcoming tour dates from The Bald and Beautiful With Trixie and Katya stops in Albuquerque, N.M. and Sacramento, Calif. have been rescheduled for September.
