‘Don’t bring them near me’: This drag queen won’t read to your child

The world’s most famous drag queen Bianca Del Rio isn’t afraid to tell it like it is and she really doesn’t want to read to your children. Read her interview here.

One of the world’s most famous drag queens has hit Sydney, just don’t expect Bianca Del Rio to read your kids a story.

“They love to say drag queens are grooming the children and I say, if we were grooming the children, they would be dressed better. Let’s be real,” Del Rio told The Daily Telegraph.

“I hate children, don’t bring them near me, I don’t want to read a story to them.”

Famously irreverent Del Rio, the stage name of Roy Haylock, has no fear of being cancelled for her outrageous commentary.

She is in fact known as an ‘insult comic’ and self-proclaimed ‘clown in a gown’.

“I am honest with you and tell you things that you know already but I just document it publicly,” she said.

“It is more about honesty but also realising that I am the biggest joke there is so nothing is off topic, nothing is off limits.”

Del Rio won season six of RuPaul’s Drag Race and is in the country for her sixth world tour – Dead Inside – playing Sydney’s State Theatre on February 7 and 8.

“You have to find the humour in all of it. I don’t care (about being cancelled), I lived before the internet. Some little b***h online is not going to scare me online. You never meet those people, those people never want to say that to your face. And there is nothing to discuss, because if I am not for you, then I am not for you. I am used to rejection, I am used to some people going, ‘I don’t like that b***h’, so I am not mad about it.”

This year marks 30 years of performing.

“You can’t do drag forever, there has got to be a point where you go, ‘it has been a good ride, put your heals up’,” she said.

“Currently right now I am doing really good, I am turning 50 this year, so I give myself another five years. But I could be like Cher and say, ‘farewell, farewell’, and keep coming back.”
