"The cast of Cats did not show up to the premiere dressed as cats." I love that analogy, so true!

RuPaul hosts the show and goes to events out of drag all the time, so what’s the problem with Jaremi attending events out of drag?

You are a remarkable interviewer. Your questions show that you're well researched, none of those annoying hollow questions you hear sometimes. Thank you for putting this out and making it work during this time. You could have easily just postponed it, and no one would have blamed you, but you still found a way to put it out and I appreciate you for that.

Phi Phi only said one-or-two "mean" things. The rest of the time, she was fine. People like Raven were WAY more brutal and mean. Raven said horrible things non-stop about the other queens during her first season...but everyone seems to forget that and gives Raven a pass?!

Could not agree with Jaremi more when he explained why he didn’t go as PhiPhi to press week, why did people have such an issue with it? When people interview Chris Hemsworth, they are interviewing him, not Thor - why should it be any different?

People act like Rupaul is the messiah of drag. And yes, he has done a lot for drag, but he is not above criticism and he is not perfect. He isn't the be all end all of drag either. I respect him as an artist, and I'm a fan of the show, but I definitely watch it with a different perspective than i used to. The fact that Rupaul will only let trans queens on the show unless they are pre-transition or they pause transition, while allowing cis queens who have had a slew of feminizing surgeries shows his hypocrisy and transphobia. Jaremi is right, Rupaul doesn't give a shit about his contestants unless they are making him money. Look how fast he will turn his back on any queen who gives him a sliver of criticism or disagree with him. I think fame has gotten to is head. And i hope someday someone brings him down a few pegs. While i was sad to see Ben De La fo from AS3, i was happy for her because it was like a big fuck you to Rupaul when she eliminated herself.

rupaul seems nasty when he doesn't get what he wants. it's such a shame because honestly, i didn't like phi phi! it worked on me! the editing can really screw someone. none of the fans really know what it's like to be on the show, so i think in terms of being vocal about "hating" a queen, we should all just shut up. it doesn't bring any good to send a human being angry messages. with that said, i'll still be watching drag race every season. it's a good show!

I feel like it's so easy to villianize someone for good TV, but I always saw Jaremi ("Phi Phi") as a good person with emotionally flawed moments, which is super relatable. I consider myself a good person and I think most people in my life do. But I've had super ugly moments (much uglier than Phi Phi had on her respective seasons) and if I was judged solely based on those, people would view me quite differently than they do in my everyday life.

Jeremy is so sweet and wholesome when he's not being edited. I just restarted allstars 2 yesterday and you can tell the horrible story the producers were going for. I'm glad Adore left when she did.

Only wanna say as a Brazilian myself that Brazilians love Phi Phi’s authenticity and 0 tolerance for bullshit! ❤️ Come to Brazil when this ongoing coronavirus pandemic nightmare is over, my queen! 🇧🇷

These people hating on Phi Phi in the comments are the fans that don’t understand the PRODUCTION behind the show. T o x i c

I would like to remind everyone that PhiPhi gave her phone call to Chad Michaels so the latter could talk to his partner. And PhiPhi even said that she wanted to win for that sole reason. Yeah, PhiPhi can be bitchy - but hey, with her past and her being a drag queen (throwing shade is a lifestyle, darlin'), it's understandable. She can get angry pretty easily too. She's not a villain, but it's pretty easy to paint her as one.

This is by far the best interview I've seen related to rpdg. I will be honest, i wasn't a Phi Phi fan watching season 4(despite admiring her pure talent, that was undeliable) , but over the years I've seen just what exactly the show does to make its contests look a certain way. The world is not black and white. You're not inheritly evil or good. But we can change. My favorite part was him owning up to who he was and the way he acted. It shows so much growth and responsibility, and i admire that so much. Jaremi, i don't think you'll ever see this, but i have gained so much love and respect of you as an artist and a person. People have said such horrible things about you, i can't imagine how hard that must have been. Not to mention i can see the pain in your eyes as you answer some of the harder questions. You are so so strong. I am sending you all my love from the other side of the world ❤️

From myself and my people back home I want to say *THANK YOU JEREMY a.k.a. Phi Phi FOR ALL YOU DID FOR PUERTO RICO!* We will be forever grateful for your kindness and love! 🇵🇷❤ Also, if I may add for those who cannot separate a show from a person in real life. Please don't believe what a "reality tv" show push as narratives and edits. Jeremy is such an amazing human being. That's all, thank you!

I always wanted to see what this hatred for phi phi was about after watching the season i felt confused. She was so misunderstood and everyone came for her first.

PhiPhi is a genius. 365 days of drag,Harry Potter cosplay,she designed mermaid dress for Monet X Changed. She's a production! Like seriously people-stop hating her What's she said: there is no reality in reality TV show

I really want to commend Joseph for being able to conduct interviews of this depth given the circumstances. His editing skills were excellent, to the point I almost forgot this was a Skype interview! Keep up the spectacular work, and stay safe!👍🏻

Jeremi is so talented and generous, and that laugh gets me smiling every time.

This made me see Jaremi in a whole different light and it makes my heart happy.

You are an amazing interviewer!! I hope you expose Adore someday! :)

This interviewer is SO GREAT and RESPECTFUL! It’s amazing how he can see the situations through Phi Phi’s perspective and give her some validation! Also amazing how he can bring sensitive topics to the table without making it weird or gross! LOVED THIS! (also LOOOOVE Jeremy)

I like how well her make-up is blended, her outfit is a toot, she has grown since S3 and AS2 so much.

I am living for Jaremi reading Rupaul to filth and I am also happy for Jaremi being a strong, independent individual and artist.

another great drag artist interview! I'm calling them "Underneath The Foundation". Jeremi seems like a very grounded person with a big heart that is actually helping to make the world a better place.

Great interview! It was great to hear Jeremi without the WOW filter. I did have a weird moment at the beginning trying to figure out whose voice I was being reminded of (Miz Cracker).

This made me completely change my mind about Jeremy. He’s definitely super kind and philanthropic. RPDR is so shady for how they edited him.

You're literally the best interviewer I ever watched. Great job !! I'm always looking forward to a new episode of Exposed, really hope you'll do many more!

Are people still thinking that she was a villian? I never saw that so I don't get it. =/

Started off wishing that Phi Phi had leaned into the villain edit and ended up totally believing in and understanding what Jaremi is doing. He has a beautiful light around him and his heart and it shines through. I'm excited for his future projects and want to check out his master classes. At one point it even looked like Josheph was fan boying along with us. Thank you 💗💗💗

I’m so glad they got to talk about Adore in coherence to everything. I identified with Adore when I had a really neglectful friendship that time, and I’m glaaaad that people agree that it was the right thing for her to leave for herself. I thought it was iconic.

When I watched season 4 I really hated Phi Phi, but then I remembered that the editors and producers actually control the way the queens look so now I don't hate her because I understand that it was all faked by the producers of the show. Also this interview helps me like him and sympathize with him about his experience in the show.

I'm surpised how Rupaul always talks about The Wizard of Oz, yet people can't seem to see behind the curtains. I love the show, but for me it's clear how they are able highlight some parts. Look how they were able to erase Sherry Pie this season even if she's one of the strongest contestant.

So glad that she'll have a chance to enlighten us about everything Phi Phi. Not always agree with her but always respect her point of view.

Phi Phi was very Under-rated for her Fashion sense and Over-rated for controversy …..Phi Phi is an Amazing queen and creates Unique and One of a kid things! xo

Joseph is the Oprah of drag. 💖 Great interview

This was such a lovely interview. I’m so happy to see Jeremy happy.

You bring the positivity out of your guest every time with so much knowledge and awareness! It feels like a catch up with a friend that you didn’t talk to for weeks! They must feel great after being interviewed by you! Well done Joseph for your relevant questions and great answers from Jeremy! ❤️❤️

I think we can all relate to the "I used to hate you when I watched s4 and then I get to know you on social media and omg "

Ever since All Stars 2 there was something about Phi Phi that began to resonate with me. I went on to see her on the Christmas Queens tour and she was the only queen in the cast to mention anything to do with my country at all. Criminally underrated, and what an excellent interview!

"There's no reality in reality TV" It's true 👌

I hated Phi Phi until this video. She’s so taken away the power of the WOW villain edit by not taking it seriously. Girl, I like you now. You are talented. I’m a fan.

You are an AMAZING interviewer!! You're an active listener and very very sweet. All your interviews are always 10/10 yesss

Congrats, very good interview. I was not expecting silly questions anyway, but you have really facilitated Jaremi to give a well-rounded picture of Phi-Phi and more generally of his art. I am still not convinced that Phi Phi on the show was completely a character, but I was neither there during filming or in the editing room, so I can't really know about it. In any case I wish him the best. Btw after reading some comments, I don't know what sound quality were people expecting from a Skype interview, but Joseph has fine audio quality in his regular videos. If you don't like something given to you for free, just leave it aside, or give polite feedback, making rude complaints is just unnecessary and contributes nothing.

Wow, he made me realize sooo many things that were on my face about the show and how drags are shown on it. I now have so much genuine respect for this queen. It's sad that most of us, the fans, as she said 'got stucked years ago'.

This really was a wonderfully illuminating interview. I love how Jeremy has taken control of his life and his career. I also love how he has insisted on separating his drag and his characters from the real person. SO many queens seem to lose themselves in their drag identity. Wishing all the best for Jeremy. 🙏🏼

you NEED to interview Tyra Sanchez

I don't see any difference between the PhiPhi from S4 and AS2 and Jeremi in this interview. He wants to be seen as an angel when he's just like any other queen or person: he makes mistakes and he can be mean and say or do the wrong things, and that's fine! She will always be an iconic queen from two of the best RPDR seasons.

I honestly wish this interview was longer. I could listen to both of these angels speak for DAYSSS

I always like her. She is the nicest queen I ever met. I met her at a Halloween party and I asked for an autograph and she was nice about it. Later I went to a Halloween VOSS Event and she was dressed as Bianca Del Río and I thought she was her, Phiphi’s craft is out of this world. Talent and craft all the way.

I think by disconnecting himself from Phi Phi he feels able to move on and all things he said/did in the past was just his character, not him. A very smart way to look at it, wish him the best.

You are an amazing inteviewer. Great questions, totally respectful and natural. Love it!

What a nice interview. I'm not a hardcore fan of RPDR, so I didn't know much of Jeremy beside his Phi Phi persona. It was such a nice interview, I always suspect that Sharon and PhiPhi were acting up and were secretly friends. I also felt uncomfortable watching All Stars 2, because the 'shady' editing was QUITE obvious. I still watch RPDR because is entertaining, but I don't take it too seriously.

I just love seeing Jaremi truly happy. Loved the interview Joseph!! ❤️

Jaremi is so aesthetically gorgeous both in and out of drag, I'm honestly transfixed every time I see them 😍

This was nice. Honestly, the fanbase is so stupid at times.

Just got done watching this interview. Joseph, what an incredible job! Such great questions and I LOVE this format! I must admit that I did feel a certain type of way about her before watching this interview. I will say my viewpoint began to change for the better once I heard Phi Phi speaking on Alaska’s and Willam’s pod cast. And now, with this interview, I have full respect for her and understand her point of view. Thank you for another outstanding interview about an incredible and talented artist. :)

So so good !!!! Great interview!!!

Phi Phi is an incredible, resourceful queen who went to the bottom and rebuilt herself up. This interview really does her justice. Great job!

this was an excellent interview. Well done as usual. Jaremi shared so much wisdom. I've liked him before, but a bigger fan after this. Thank you

This is a great interview, really showed more of Jaremi and how perceptions can be super deceiving.

365 days of Drag is one of the greatest achievements in Drag imo. Thank you Jeremi.

Great interview. Jaremi is smart, but he's also a bit too defensive. I think that made it easy for the producers to turn him into a villain.

I am excited to see what he does next! Thanks foe the great interview.

Loved seeing Jaremi get a chance to be open and honest. Going into Allstars 2, I was hoping that the show would portray a better side of her and was disappointed when they clearly didn't. Growing up in an abusive household is rough and the toll it can take on a human being is often long lasting. We should have gathered around her and loved her from the beginning because we know that often when people lash out, it comes from a deeper internal struggle. She's got such a heart and I hope everyone can see that now.

Omg I love phi phi, I really started to like her after she was on ru’s podcast and she opened up ❤️❤️

AMAZING! Thank you for your diligence, kindness, and courage! This is the content WE as a community should embrace and encourage!!! Xoxo

It honestly shocks me how anyone could genuinely fall for Ru's 'Say Love' schtick. He's allowed to live his life in a deluded bubble and nothing about him is true. It's a character!

Lovely interview. Nice to see him being happy and chilled. 💜♥️💜

Season 4 of Drag Race was honestly the turning point for the franchise. The calm before the storm, before it really blew up. I’ve been watching since the second season and although 4 isn’t what DR is really known for, that was the first season shit really changed! I have to respect everybody that comes from that season, they helped build this franchise. All of those girls deserve their chips for that Season.

Good for Jaremi. Glad he's doing great. And Joseph is such a great interviewer (and SO CUTE).

I gotta say, I found Phi Phi on insta when she did the 365 days of drag and I fell in love with her creativity - I was so surprised to see her on drag race a year later when I started watching. Just saying shes right that she made her name on her own without drag race.

This was such a great interview

I would love to see Adore on EXPOSED.

What an amazing interview! Made me realise that I was completely fooled by the villain edit xxx

Great interview Joseph! One of the few decent interviewers out there x

He's very strong to endure everything people gave him for so many years and still shine

i love that you ask everyone! are you happy? people forget the power of that question and the power in their answer! i am HOOKED on your interviews and channel! thank you!!

Great interview as always! You're looking more like a snack even in quarantine 😍😍😍

Great interview as always, and it really works in this format as well! ❤

RuPaul has done so much and gave a platform to these queens so they shouldn't complain when being portrayed a certain way, and just be grateful that they were given exposure? Do not forget that RuPaul made money out of these queens, too. RuPaul is being raised to the level of being the Messiah of Drag, but she's doing this because of money. What made these queens famous is because of their talent, not because of RuPaul. RuPaul benefited from these queen.

Wow... I love your interviews... Getting to see this Queens is awesome... Much love to phi phi! And you!

Your interviews are PHENOMENAL! Well researched, well presented and one thing is that I love how you are genuinely interested in what your guest has to say. I've only been following Jaremi for a few months now, but he seems like such a sweet, caring individual. Grossly underrated and incredibly talented and I can only see upward trajectory for him from here.

One of my fav interviews you’ve done! I love Jaremi!

Love this channel, amazing episode

I’m not even halfway through this video and I just want to say that I love what you represent and what you stand for. I was rooting for you (we were all rooting for you) during season 4 and I knew you were just playing during All Stars. I’ll also say that Tati, You and Roxxxy have always been my favorites. Much love and respect.

Is she playing Animal Crossing tho..

what a sweetheart jeremi is ❤️ and on top of that, just a really interesting and creative person.

I loved Phi Phi on both seasons. I knew it was editing that created Phi Phi the villain. The moment with Sharon was just a freaking moment. Like it hasn’t been seen before in any past, present or future episodes. If anyone thinks that, they’re really not paying attention.

Wow! The interview I didn't know I needed. 🤩

Thank you,I am grateful you both made this video.

Omg what a genuinely delightful, effervescent human being. This is such a lovely interview, I love how respectful both are and hearing him laugh and be so happy and comfortable is honestly super soul warming. Thanks to both for sharing such a lovely time with us 😊 ❤

Great interview. Glad that Jeremi did this to clear the air about his time on drag race, that the villain/bad guys is not who he is in life & to say it’s just a tv show. He’s incredibly talented too!

Joseph you are such a good interviewer!!! More power!

She's feeling her Monique Heart fantasy on the thumbnail.

Great interview! ❤️

Ugh, I love this! Jeremi seems like such a sweetheart! Thank you for showing us what drag race failed to ❤️

This has helped me see him in a whole other way, he actually seems like a really nice person who is not afraid to speak the truth about the show no matter what backlash he will get

Yes, we are PASSIONATE! It's good to know that Brazilian fans' mentality is also changing, and we're getting to look at Jaremi as a person, and not as a character anymore. ♡

Great interview!
