Mistress Isabelle Brooks has spilt some major behind-the-scenes tea about her time on the Drag Race set.

Back in 2023, fans were treated to the 15th season of the long-running drag competition series.

The 15th entry proved to be a game-changer, introducing a series of franchise firsts, such as a $200,000 cash prize, a new network home (MTV in the US), and the largest Drag Race cast with 16 contestants.

While the 16 episodes were full of iconic moments, like Sasha Colby taking home the crown and title of ‘America’s Next Drag Superstar,’ its promo rollout was almost leaked by fan-favourite queen Mistress.

In a video posted to her YouTube channel, the Texas-based queen opened up about her time filming the series and all the items she nabbed from set.

“Today you’re in for a treat, honey, because I’ve decided to come clean. I have decided to lay it all on the table. I’m going to just put it out there: I used to be a kleptomaniac,” she explained.

“I have a few coins now. I’ve grown up. I’ve matured. I don’t do that anymore. That’s the old me. I promise. So, RuPaul, World of Wonder, if you’re watching, please let me back on set. I promise I’ll behave this time around.”

As the video progressed, Mistress admitted to stealing a piece of the workroom, a paddle with her entrance look, jewellery, Snatch Game cards and the script for the Wigloose Rusical.

However, the most significant piece of Drag Race paraphernalia that the 26-year-old stole was a physical cast list that featured photos of all the queens in and out of drag.

“This one was the hardest to pull off. This one was like the holy grail for me because when I’m talking about things, when I’m explaining things to people I’m a very visual person,” she explained.

“I remember it was the last day of filming… I saw this on one of the security guard’s desks and was like, I need that. I would die if I did not have this in my possession.”

Mistress went on to say that once filming finished, she met up with her drag mom, Chevelle Brooks, at Cheesecake Factory. However, after leaving, she realised she left the aforementioned cast list at the restaurant.

“I literally drove all the way home, and I was like, ‘Oh my god, I’m actually going to get sued for a million dollars if this falls into the wrong hands,’” she recalled.

“I remember I got back to Cheesecake Factory and it luckily was there. The people didn’t know what it was worth, they didn’t know what they were looking at.”

During her time on Drag Race season 15, Mistress dazzled viewers with her iconic runway ensembles, comedic timing and various eras.

After turning it out for weeks, the beloved talent landed in the top four of the competition, coming in third place alongside Luxx Noir London.
