During Monday night's episode of RuPaul's Drag Race, After winning the "Frenemy" Challenge even after puking on stage, William was disqualified and sent home for "breaking the rules".

After Willam and Latrice Royale had won the "Frenemy" challenge, Sharon Needles and Phi Phi O'Hara were up for elimination.

However, as they waited anxiously to find out which one RuPaul was sending home, things went in a surprising direction when RuPaul called William's name.

As the stunned queens looked on in shock, RuPaul disqualified Willam. "You leave me no choice. Willam, I have to ask you to leave the competition immediately."

And then the coup de grace for the disgraced Willam: "Sashay. Away."

Oddly, Willam's disqualification was not explained during the show, but she did vomit in front of everyone else during the "Frenemy" challenge. Was that why she was sent home?

William's not about to speak out about what happened, though. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, William said "Here’s the thing: I had an abortion. The anesthesia just made me sick. I will say this: I wasn’t caught doing anything. Everything that I did, I admitted and I brought to everyone’s attention."

When EW asked him if what he was doing was bad, he replied "If I was good at what I was doing — which they considered “bad” — is it still considered “bad”? I’m trying not to be an a–hole here, but it’s not working out very well."

William is one of the drag queens that created the "Chow Down at Chick-Fil-A" video. In the entertainment weekly interview, he said he didn't really know about Chick-fil-a, but when someone told him they supported anti-gay organizations, he just thought it sucked until he get diarrhea from it and he decided to write a song about it.

As for the real reason William was kicked off the show, we'll all just have to tune in to the Reunion special of RuPaul's Drag Race when it airs to find out why he was disqualified.

Pleezzzz... get rid of Phi Phi. I have a migraine after every episode she goes off on her pedestrian road rage, she hates everyone, one by one. Sick of her. What happened to her, "oh, we are family, we need to support each other..."? She looks better out of drag - too much makeup, looks way older in drag, what the f- was with the opera singing voice? I love and always have loved Rupaul's Drag Race...this season is not the best.
