Trishelle Cannatella has just become public enemy number one for Drag Race fans thanks to The Traitors Season 2. Trishelle was pushing hard to eliminate Peppermint, almost unjustly so.
Of course, much to Trishelle’s dismay, Peppermint turned out to be a Faithful. Peppermint has since spoken out on the elimination, telling The Daily Beast it “felt as bad as it could’ve felt.”
As for why Trishelle may have targeted her, Peppermint reflected, “To be magnanimous, maybe she just really thought I was a Traitor … I don’t think so, there could be some other reasons. You’d have to ask her.” Well, Trishelle has since written her own narrative.
Trishelle tries to convince fans of her “regret” surrounding Peppermint’s elimination
To her credit, Trishelle recognized all the backlash she was receiving (perhaps even before it fully manifested). She tried to clear her name using X, formerly known as Twitter. She shared a now-deleted screenshot that showed her reaching out to Peppermint a day before the Season 2 premiere. Trishelle wrote, “Lady! I know you’re busy tonight with [Johnny] Bananas but can we please have a chat.”
The text went on, “I’m still so upset about how everything went down and I hope you know I think you are so incredible and I’m so sorry for how it went down.” She wrote in a caption, “For those asking, I did reach out to Pepp BEFORE the show aired. I felt terrible about getting it wrong & her leaving early when she has such an incredible message & opportunity to share.”
It continued, “I made a bad game decision & I regretted it immediately after.” She also posted a link to Peppermint’s GoFundMe, a music video production to pay tribute to Janet Jackson and give opportunities to workers who need money during the difficult year for entertainment, especially the LGBTQ community.
The records on the GoFundMe page show Trishelle having donated $200, which isn’t nothing, but much less than what one might assume she could reasonably give.
The Traitors Season 2 continues Thursdays, with new episodes landing at 9/8c on Peacock.
