Turing Quinto has been a professional drag artist who regularly performs and openly drags for more than seven years in the Philippines. Due to her bubbly personality and comfort in her own skin, she was easily one of the fan favorites.
The drag artist made her exit on the fourth episode of the show, leaving fans and co-contestants in tears. She offered words of encouragement to her fellow drag artists as she left.
“If you have a bad day, it doesn’t mean you have a BAD DRAG” she exclaimed.
Her untimely elimination was met with various speculations from netizens that her exit was influenced by unfounded allegations of her sexually assaulting the ‘Pit Crew’ on the show.
A member of the Pit Crew denies the validity of the allegations on Instagram on October 15. He even says it is fake news.
Anyway, since OP deleted their tweet, here’s the video where the Pit Crew clarifies the issue with Turing

He expressed his disappointment with the viewers for spreading a potentially damaging career rumor.
In a now-deleted tweet, Twitter users @cybergarciaa, and @f4ggotism, tried to open up a discussion about an alleged sexual harassment case inside the show involving a “queen”.
Fans began calling them out, resulting in the deletion of their tweets and accounts.
Twitter user @kimsoncomph reveals a screenshot claiming Turing is upset over the situation.
As part of their efforts, Twitter vigilantes called out rumor mongers as “Twitter rats” and rallied together in support of Turing.

The burden of proof lies on the accuser.
Tanga lang maniwala agad sa sabi-sabi.
