This article says RuPaul, "essentially" admitted to this. This article pulls from a 2020 NPR podcast, "Fresh Air." RuPaul faced a lot of backlash after this, according to the New Yorker. In the same 2024 interview, Paul said, "“Do you buy gas?” he said to me. “Before you point the finger, smell it first, bitch.”". I feel like this implies yes, but my findings need to be further investigated.
