Farrah not crying while talking about what happened to her, but then crying about what happened to her therapist shows you what kind of person she is. A fighter and *actually* an empath. Those interviews are *so* important because they actually tell and document modern queer stories - the good, bad and the ugly. This depth is lacking in other interviews about Queens and queer performers. This is actually modern history about the recent and current queer experience.
@@aloe.wera. Yes and how we need to think about archieving and saving media like this. A platform like RU-vid going down one day would cause so much lost media, we need a back-up plan, physical documentation.
@@Viggles04 remember the “the doors Gia has opened” jokes last year? When Gia started to publicly identify as trans she reaaaaally leaned into it as a brand and tried to bill herself as a trailblazer and pretty much “the only one” when it came to trans Ru girls, this of course wasn’t true and the fandom meme’d her for it, but now it’s clear to see that the root of Gia’s hostility towards Farrah was that Gia felt threatened by her, not as a drag race competitor necessarily but as the next “it trans girl”
Farrah is the manifestation of us not knowing anything about a drag queen other than what production makes us believe. I'm so glad I got to watch this and understand her journey and who she is as a person.
I was always bothered by that. I was mad at production by not allowing us to get to know her. I never disliked Farrah, it didn't bothered me that she was very sensitive or cried easily, what bothered me is that production never showed us a confessional that went deep into that so we can relate with her actually. So I felt she was sweet, talented and very sensitive, but that I didn't know anything about her at all from DR. Now thanks to Maddy and Farrah's will to open her heart to us, I finally get to understand her and finally connect with her. Storyline producers definitely pick who they want to showlight and who they have as their "pretty ornaments".
I can't believe. I mean, yeah, she's a dumb blonde (and I mean it in the best possible way), but she's a real survivor. MySpace hate was something so new and so unhinged at the time, she is a real survivor, and I think she takes it lightly through the interview but I'm freezed hearing her story.
This sounds so cliche, but i really do feel like im learning more about these queens and special guests from maddy's interview, and I feel like its gotten me to appreciate these queens more so as people
This definetly takes them out of the “reality tv” lens. Its real and more genuine compared to misconstructed words and edits made from their tv ventures. Just two people talking in real time.
45:00 wait, Farrah Moan’s sex therapist was Amie Harwick???! Her case is so tragic, and I’m glad her killer, who should not be named, is going to be in prison until he dies. Farrah Moan should write a book of their life, it’s such a rollercoaster. I hope she is in a better place, Farrah moan you are loved and talented. I wish you nothing but love and peace in your life ❤️
Amie seemed like such a wonderful person who helped so many people, and whose potential was cut short by a vicious predator. Violence against women is so poisonous and endemic. It almost puts you off wanting to help, knowing that a person's instinct to heal was turned against her. And yes, the scumbag can rot.
I knew nothing about her except what I saw on drag race and honestly this interview shocked me. I am so sorry for everything she had to go through, not many people would be able to pull through it. I'm glad she did!
It’s so weird seeing a meme queen go through the absolute worst things possible and having so much history online, I feel like a lot of the time people see queens as one dimensional people even if they say they don’t(including myself) so it’s great seeing them get to speak real
@@nightmeowonelmstreet215 read my comment again and rethink your choices. It's literally just Farrah interviewing Christina this episode. Or more precisely Cameron Ugh is interviewing Christina.
It's one of the only moments of grace and decency the producers have ever shown, tbh. I suppose they realized that what Farrah has been through is honestly far too dark to exploit for views and storylines.
Respect to Maddy for giving Farrah a break even after she said she didn’t need one. Love that Maddy is interviewing to let the guests tell their stories instead of redirecting them or using them for her own gain. Also her giving a gift to Farrah’s inner child was so sweet 😭 This episode reflected so wonderfully on both of their sweet and selfless characters.
I'm so used to enjoying Maddy's ripping girls to shreds and having them laugh themselves sick of it - this was so gentle and compassionate by comparison! I had no idea Farrah's been through so much crap. Maddy - you're not just an insightful interviewer and fiendish researcher, you're also empathetic and sweet! You're both beautiful.
Farrah is 30 years old and has gone through more crap in her life then plenty of others. Farrah, we're blessed that you're still on this earth. Maddy, those interviews of yours - wow.
Farrah is so light and bright. I never expected her to have such a dark past. She’s stronger than me and I’m sure so many of us. This is a deep interview. Maddy is THE drag race interviewer.
I am so, so glad I watched this interview. Completely changed my view of Farrah. RPDR really did her a huge disservice by painting her as the whiny, spoiled girl. She is anything but. The life she has lived is so full of tragedy, yet she is such a beautiful beam of light in spite of it all. Thank you, Maddy, for showing us who these queens REALLY are. Farrah, you got a fan for life in me.
Farrah Moan leaning into her MySpace Emo Y2K XTina roots is such a smart move of changing it up and she never looked better. "The shoe fits", like this is the Farrah that was already there from the beginning.
@@jayv7006u think they meant elder emo in the sense that these subcultures are usually ran by the oldest members of the youngest generation. So 30 yrolds are “old” to the general active members of community
My god. I've heard some horrific life stories from coworkers and friends but Jesus Chris, the way I cried through this interview. I just can't even imagine how she managed to keep picking herself back up when it seems like her whole has been tragedy after tragedy. She's an inspiration, truly.
This Interview and the one with Kerri are so *heavy* - The trauma and hardship endured is overwhelming. Makes me so impressed they are still bubbly, fun and entertaining us. This is true strenght, the light they bring. Their life retold as a movie could be an oscar-winning biopic honestly.
I can relate to Farrah regarding her therapist. My sexual trauma counselor was a pivotal part of my life for 3 years in college. I actually found out about a relationship between him and a very young client that had been ongoing since she was underage. So I ended up reporting him and had to be interviewed a billion times. He was removed from campus and had his license revoked. It was so hard to find out something so nasty about someone I trusted and cared for. Finding out that he was taking advantage of his client’s traumas and wounds. I’ve tried to go back to therapy but it just hasn’t been the same. It still makes my heart hurt, two years later.
It means so much that throughout this entire interview, talking about all that's happened to her, Farrah keeps a relative straight face. And then she starts talking about Amy... and that's when she sorta breaks down. Like losing her took so much more out of her than what actually happened TO her. Farrah, you are a gem of a human being 💜 Stay strong
My jaw hit the floor when I realised her therapist was amie harwick!! Heartbreaking stuff, Farrah is the example that diamonds are made under the greatest pressures 🤍
I genuienely thing what Maddy is doing is sooo important; for people that may have only seen people through the drag race lens, truly hearing peoples stories and journeys beyond that is incredible and emotional; Shes so funny and loving in spades. Best love to Maddy and Farrah
Oh this made me cry multiple times. Maddy thank you for giving Farrah the space to talk. Farrah thank you for sharing your story. Sending love to you both
I never realized how strong farrah is. She has lived trough all of this and still is herself. Wow I admire her for the strenght behind her smile and the effort in her life.
This brings Farrah into a totally new light for me. I have always respected her, but even more so now. The trauma she has lived through is incredibly sad, but she is a survivor! We love you Farrah, the highlight of season 9❤️❤️❤️ Great interviewing on Maddys part too, she really knows how to engage guests, be funny, while on topic, serious, and empathetic. We love you Maddy!!!!
Seeing Farrah Moan in this light really gave me a perspective that queens really has a lot of things burdening her. I honestly got more respect for Farrah because of this. Her experiences made her really strong and with this interview really made me respect her so much more.
Farrah you have gained a new fan here, didn't realise just how much you've been through and also a runescape player! Keep your head up and keep being amazing, I'm very glad Amys killer got justice.
I just want to give Farrah a hug! She's been through so much and only deserves good things! Thank you for sharing your story and for sharing your art with us!
Thank you, Farrah, for being so vulnerable. I had no idea how much she struggled in life, drag race just portrayed her as a whiny, spoiled brat. Im so glad Maddy had her on, this was my favorite interview so far. Sending love and healing to Farrah 💜
i didn't expect farrahs life to be so tragic. she was constantly in danger and in hard situations, when i thought the bad stuff had stopped she just kept saying more horrible things that happened to her. she's such an inspiration and so so strong for going through all that and still being here today
My god didn't know she was abused in this many ways... school, men and also social media. I wanted to see a pretty girl get read, but I got the truth and got to see how difficult life can be when you are different and don't want to conform to the norm. Farrah you werk it and shout out to your mom, she rules!
One of my favorite interviews ever! Farrah is just the sweetest, kindest, purest person. It is crazy how she has been through a lot but we did not even know that except for the edit that DR gave her. Love you queen!
Honestly what's so great about Maddy's show in addition to the hilarious wit, is the fact she so ably covers really meaningful difficult topics, rather than just the same Drag Race stuff. As a queer man I feel like I've really come to understand that I wasn't alone with my traumatic early life experiences, through watching this show. Funny how a straight guy can make some of the most meaningful queer content, which I guess we as queer people often try to breeze past in order for short term pleasure, like being bitchy or campy etc.
I see Maddy Morphosis as The Ultimate LGBTQ Ally. Learn a lesson, Allies. Maddy is the closest you can come as a straight person to supporting us. You truly can't come closer to being FAMILY than Maddy Morphosis is right now. Personally, I love and adore Maddy for this. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜👍🏽🥰
It's sad that so many people didn't have this opinion when maddy was on drag race, its kind of pathetic really that so many people had and still do have a problem with a straight male doing drag (especially when it's not even an unusual thing in most of the world, UK especially).
@@scottydoesknowenglishYes, very well-said @scottenglish7381, vary well-said. I view Maddy doing drag as a straight man as the absolute pinnacle of LGBT support. And Gorgeous too? Yes! ❤️🧡💚💙💜👍🏽🥰
My jaw is just permanently on the floor listening to Farrah’s story. I thought my life was crazy but she’s just been through so much and she’s STILL going strong, really inspiring tbh.
I relate to her so much… as someone who struggled so much with mental illness, alcohol and substance abuse in my youth and always found myself surrounded by the worst people exploiting me in various ways… having grown up and healed and put the work in I find it so beautiful and am immensely proud of her for pushing past her past to a future where she’s authentically living in her truth. I hope to see her back on drag race one day, slayyyyying her way to the crown 👑
Wow. Maddy once again so shows the power and poise of intense research and really honored Farrah’s story and journey. I appreciate Farrah so much more and actually understand and relate to her story now. I hope she finds healing and wholeness in life. And congrats on sobriety!
i loved farrah on s9, as4, and even more now. as much as the stories she talks about broke my heart it only made me love her even more. maddiy you real asf for that imma subscribe girl
I know these are usually fun, entertaining ways to learn about the Queens, but I have to say how much I appreciate you giving Farrah a platform to share her story, and for Farrah’s courage. I had no idea everything that she has been through, but my God, she is truly a resilient survivor. So much love to you, Farrah ❤
Poor Farrah, seeing how handsome he was (back in MySpace) I always thought he was the perfect emo boy, just to find out his photos were used to catfish probably now still…seeing Farrah on Drag Race I always thought she was so pretty and pouty just like me lmao it just sucks being taken advantage in those situations to where alcohol is an escape, I totally appreciate this interview and how much she opened back to us who wonder still. Loved this ep & can’t wait to see more
this might be my favorite episode ever gitms you let farrah speak and really be raw and share her story and farrah is so unserious i love itttt! i had no idea she’s been through so much i related to a lot of what she shared love her even more now!!!🩷🩷🩷
This was so amazing! I always loved Farrah Moan but I never knew all the struggles she had to deal with. You are a warrior queen and in case no one told you today, I'm proud of you
Wow, Farrah has gone through so much in her life, it's impressive how she endured so much pain and still came out on top. I hope from now on she gets as much happiness as she deserves and finally gets some rest. Love you Farrah, thank you Maddy for giving Farrah the platform to be vulnerable, and thank you Farrah for the vulnerability ❤️
the idea of the person, as Farrah described who, basically saved and heals so many from traumatic experiences of sex and gender violence falling victim to the darkest degree of that same this is beyond traumatic. I can’t imagine it and Farrah is a resilient and beautiful soul, I wish rpdr didnt use her like the dumb blonde. I wish her so much success and the softest of life ahead of here ❤️❤️
I don’t think that format would work for Maddy. Pit stop is more improv and recapping while Maddy is more about doing research, prompting the guest, and listening.
Oh my goodness. Just hearing everything that’s happen to Farrah, I just wanna hug her. Thank you for another amazing interview Maddy. Also when Farrah got really upset and Maddy is like, you need a second? Farrah is going…. No… no I’m ok. Then daddy Maddy comes out, ‘no let’s take a break I wanna make sure you are ok’
I’ve really gotten into Farrah’s work in the last year, and I’m so glad she feels comfortable sharing this much with us as fans. Farrah, we love you and wish you nothing but the absolute best in life!
Maddy needs a show on MTV or something. The knowledge and insight we get in these interviews is so eye opening. I liked Farrah as a drag queen, but now I like her as a person too. For her to still be so positive and to find laughter after everything that happened to her, true strength. Keep pushing through Farrah. You got this. Keep them coming Maddy. Best show on RU-vid.
I used to download Farrah's MySpace pictures in a folder and show them to my friends whenever they asked me what my type was. I am so happy she is back and getting her life sorted. I truly appreciate her being so open and vulnerable with us, I wish her nothing but the best, and thank you, Maddy, for always bringing such interesting queens to GTMS!
Thank you so much Farrah and Maddy for this interview. I've always wanted to know more about Farrah, she came across as a very sensitive, sweet and talented person, but Drag Race never gave her proper attention to let us know her better. I didn't mind if she cryed a lot, I wanted to know what was the story behind that but DR producers never delivered, to be able to relate with her. So, to me, Farrah was this girl who was too young when cast, but I never had anything against her, but I never feel a connection either. Curiously, I always felt she was a girl. I'm glad I was right. It's so good to know Farrah is feeling better now, 30 is usually the age when things can get difficult if you haven't achieved what you "supposedly" had to achieve at that age and many of us fell into deep depression, but knowing now about how difficult was Farrah's life and how she was betrayed by people who she easily trusted, how evil people took adventage of her and damaged her so much and at such a young age, I can totally understand why she was so sensitive during her season and can absolutely relate. I'm a Gen X woman from a third world country who grew up in the local punk rock community, so I don't relate to all those emo stuff, but I can definitely understand Farrah now. She always seemed very sweet to me. How her therapist was murdered was horrible. It's the most common form of murder of women in my country, by partners or ex partners and it's even a legal figure here: femicide. I know nobody is going to read this because TL; DR, but I just wanted to say what I said.
I never thought that an interview with Farah Moan will be this emotional. It's always the sweet ones that goes through the most. And a huge respect to Farah for coming through all of this. Much love ❤ and respect for ya. Hope things gets more good down the line for ya💕🏳⚧🏳🌈🏳⚧
Farah - I had no idea you have been through so much. Thank you for sharing this with everyone and opening up, I see you so differently because of it. You're so beautiful and strong. Maddy - Your interview and hosting skills are exemplary. Compassionate, humorous, engaging - I've loved seeing you develop this series into what it is and I can only hope you and your career continue to grow and develop.
farrah’s story about her therapist is heartbreaking. My very first therapist, Dawn, was so lovely and made me feel so safe and like I finally had someone in my life who was gonna fight for me when I was dealing with so much trauma and unfortunately she passed away in a car accident and i was devastated. I will forever be grateful for her for helping me start a very long and hard process of healing
Wow, mad respect for Farrah. I never knew someone I’ve seen as a positive light would have gone through so much shit in life at a young age. I hope Farrah is living their best life.
Drag Narduwar has done it again 🤩 I didn’t know Farrah had been through so much, but I always thought her drag race edit felt off. I now realize I was just picking up on her being in a dark headspace at times and it was weird to see producers not even bothering to portray her in a compassionate way when she was clearly struggling. I’m glad we got to hear her perspective and hope she continues to heal 💕
I've always loved Farrah, her revival made me so happy online cause I love seeing her live her truth and simply exist. This was such a heavy episode that I was not prepared for but just made me adore her more.
Maddy feels like a safe space for all these guests to share their vulnerability, the chemistry and banter is amazing every show. I wonder if Detox or Willam would be interested in the show. Finding Willam's YT channel years ago led me to watching RPDR.
