In response to Kandy revelation, drag performer, and season 15 finalist, Mistress Isabelle Brooks, echoed a similar incident that happened to her and fellow season 15 queen, Luxx Noir London.
鈥淪eeing what they did to my sister [Kandy Muse] reminded me of when THEY reached out to me and [Luxx Noir London] to put together a tour that they cancelled abruptly in the middle of the night without any notice or conversation with the talent or our management,鈥� Mistress alleged in a post to social media.
鈥淚nstead, they left us clueless to deal with countless fans and supporters who were upset that 鈥榃E鈥� cancelled the tour. Their poor decision-making also made us block off weeks in our calendar which lead to us missing out on thousands of dollars of work, and turning down other opportunities.鈥�
