RuPaul's Drag Racestar Asia O'Hara apologizes for shocking finale stunt: 'It wasn't a careless act'

This post contains major spoilers regarding Thursdays grand finale of RuPauls Drag Race season 10.

Read ahead at your own risk!

Read on for the full conversation.

My thought process going into it was: Im considerably older than the other competitors.

In my head, the butterfly release was going to work out perfectly.

It just didnt work out.

Many people do it at weddings, funerals, birthday parties, and bridal showers all the time.

So that part wasnt difficult.

I got the butterflies from a place in Florida that specializes in butterfly releases for specific events.

Ironically, finding out how to release these butterflies out of my costume was actually the easier part.

Do you know specifically what went wrong though?

They need to warm up to a certain temperature to make it fly away.

But, as they warmed up in the stage lights during the break, they started to fly away!

What was going through your mind when you opened the first cone and the butterfly didnt fly out?

She was, as people call it, the lip-sync assassin of the season.

I did my best.

I traveled to a different state several times.

It wasnt just that I went outside and found a bunch of butterflies and stuck them inside my costume.

I wasverycareful and took a lot of time to research it… it wasnt a careless act.

Whenever I feel upset and need something to focus on, thats what I do.

I do regret that part of it.

I dont regret the result.

In the moment, I deserved my elimination.

That was not a reaction to the elimination, that didnt phase me.

When the lip sync was over I was completely embarrassed for what I had just presented.

Thats why people love you so much: You do think outside the box and you took a risk.

What would you have done if you made it to the final lip sync?I would have won!

What was it?Id rather not say because Im hoping nobody does it in the next few weeks.

I was going to give a shot to do it this summer during some pride events.

Its still cutting-edge, so I hope nobody else does it.

I need to find a way to showcase it.

If the opportunity presents itself, I would like to present it.

Can you tease it in one word or phrase?The future of drag!

Okay, Ill take it.

The results are the results.

I dont think that changes based on skin color.

What does change is how well youre received after the contest or how marketable you are afterwards.
