Is Josh Seiter’s anti-trans “social experiment” all revenge against his Drag Race star ex?

The lore around Josh Seiter’s so-called “social experiment” keeps getting deeper and deeper — and the latest twist is thanks to a connection to a RuPaul’s Drag Race queen.

For the uninitiated, former Bachelorette contestant Seiter has been subjecting the internet to a bizarre “experiment” for months now, claiming to be pretending to be a transgender woman to expose the gullibility of the left. How Seiter chooses to spend his time on the internet is his own business — but his logic is shaky, to say the least. If his online escapades are all a “social experiment” as he claims, why is he still posting pictures in makeup and feminine clothing multiple times a day nearly a month after revealing that it was all an act?

Now, a new discovery from Seiter’s past might lend a little more context to his true motivations. As explained by TikTok user @0o0ethereal0o0, Seiter used to date Drag Race contestant Monica Beverly Hillz, who competed on both All Stars 8 and Season 5 of the reality competition. On the latter, she became the first queen to come out as transgender while actively competing on the show.

“After Monica dumped you, you publicly crashed out and faked your own death on Instagram,” @0o0ethereal0o0 said in their video, accompanied by screenshots that proved their claims. They revealed that Seiter also denied ever dating Hillz, despite previously having posted about their breakup and linking to her Instagram account in his own bio. That brings us to the present day, where Seiter is incessantly making fun of trans folks while seemingly embracing being trans himself more and more with every passing selfie.

 “All this, this little stunt, being the result of being dumped by an actual trans woman is f*cking insane,” @0o0ethereal0o0 concluded. “Seek help.”

Hillz herself replied to the video on X (formerly Twitter), writing, “This !!!! Whoever She is , Tell her I said “Thank You “ for this !”

In a follow-up comment, she wrote that the situation is “something I don’t wish upon anyone” and that it “took [her] a whole year to finally talk about it.”

Meanwhile, the rest of the internet is having a field day with the revelation. There’s no good justification for Seiter’s anti-trans grift, but fumbling an icon like Hillz at least explains why he’s on an apparent downward spiral.
