Trixie Mattel is never one to overexplain when it comes to her pop culture opinions. That was especially evident when the conversation turned to the growing trend of reality TV stars getting behind the DJ booth.
During a recent chat with Gayety at the TikTok Awards, Mattel was asked about the wave of “Real Housewives” personalities expanding their brand into DJing, a side hustle that has become increasingly prominent at clubs, festivals and Pride events. Her response was characteristically candid.
“I don’t know,” Mattel repeated several times when pressed. “There are a lot of drag queen DJs now.”
That hesitation wasn’t hostile, but it was definitely skeptical. As more celebrities, from Bravo stars to RuPaul’s Drag Race alums, try their hand at DJing, Mattel’s response feels less like criticism and more like bemusement at the scene’s oversaturation.
When prompted again, Mattel doubled down on his dry humor. “I wish them all the best and their Spotify accounts together,” she said.
The comment landed as classic Trixie. It’s funny, edgy, and a bit detached. In a nightlife culture where DJs are the go-to rebrand for reality stars, Mattel’s statement reflected a broader conversation about authenticity, craft, and access to celebrity within queer spaces.
Before closing, the conversation turned to one of Mattel’s most personal and successful ventures, the Trixie Motel in Palm Springs. Fans have been following the evolution of the motel through television and social media, and many are curious to know what happens next.
Mattel said he had visited the property the week before and had just hosted a happy hour with guests. While the outside world may feel increasingly chaotic, she provided an encouraging update.
“The world is getting worse and worse,” she said. “But I’m telling you, Trixie Motel is only going to get cleaner.”
