Dave reacts to Jinkx Monsoon forgiving him for Judy Garland's death on 'Snatch Game' - Entertainment Weekly News

Fortune favored Fortuna Monsoon — otherwise known as Navy veteran Dave Lara — during Friday's Snatch Game episode of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 7, when his drag mother Jinkx Monsoon donned Judy Garland garb and hilariously absolved him of any wrongdoing in the death of the Wizard of Oz icon nearly nine years after the season 5 makeover subject told RuPaul that he played a role in the iconic entertainer's 1969 passing after reportedly supplying her with barbituates.

Read on for Dave's full reaction to Jinkx's Judy Garland Snatch Game — plus a hilarious admission that he was indeed the "heckler" in the audience of the Drag Race season 6 roast who received a verbal beatdown from Bianca Del Rio?

It was touching that she would do that, and I really loved the way the judges and everybody were cracking up about that, because I know they remember that I killed Judy Garland?

No, in fact, that was the first time — can you believe this.

What a fool or a genius I am — that was the first time I'd ever told anybody about that.

Why I would blurt that out on TV, I don't know.

The first night we got drunk together and I was talking to her, this was in 1968, and she said, "Look, I'm moving to England, people are keeping drugs away from me," and she knew I was a hospital corpsman because we were talking about my time in the war?

Because when I gave that to her, it had the military label on it, no name, but, when she died — and I only saw this once — I was stationed in Washington, D.C., and the newspaper I saw had a piece that said that by the bedside was found a military-grade prescription of Seconal.

I don't want to be judged by people.

That made me feel a little better, but people don't know about that time.

It's weird, I don't think drag queens impersonate, I actually think they channel some of these people they're portraying or being.

As gay people, that pain that we all have in us, we all have pain, I think that's what the drag queens are doing.

I don't want to get all maudlin, and I do think it's funny now how I [revealed] it, so, let me lighten the mood: We're making jokes about Lincoln, so why can't we make a joke about Judy Garland.

That was my first time in drag.
