According to "Drag Race" alum Pearl, the reason fans shouldn't ever expect to see her on "All Stars" is because she had the guts to speak out against RuPaul Charles. During a tell-all interview on "Hey Qween," Pearl opened up about how heart-breaking it was to be disrespected by her idol. The story caught traction and although, per Jezebel, other queens including fellow alumni Laganja Estranja, Gia Gunn, and The Vixen seconded the only-on-camera rule, Pearl was harshly penalized for revealing the truth.

In a since-deleted video, the drag queen claimed her comments had been sensationalized by the media. She also reasoned RuPaul had been brought up by the host, not her. Sadly, after the interview came out, producers called to confirm Pearl would never be welcomed back for "All Stars." She acknowledged, "Now, I was never dumb enough to think that I would be invited back to 'All Stars,' and I was definitely not gunning for it ... but to openly punish me for being honest about a situation that happened with me after four years of silence is ... disgusting and shameful."

Pearl added, "This narrative about how ... contestants owe our lives to 'RuPaul's Drag Race' — that needs to completely change." Pearl also pointed out that, in a regular workplace environment, the situation would've been dealt with completely differently. Thankfully, Pearl is established in her own right to the extent she doesn't really need the show anymore.
