Trixie Mattel is under fire for a joke that resurfaced on Twitter made during the Hater’s Roast tour in Denver several months ago.
Said the Drag Race All Stars winner: “I couldn’t decide what to wear so I wore this. It’s just like a cotton. Latrice picked it.”
When the audience groaned and gasped, Trixie replied: “Oh, is that too far, Denver. What did you forget to invite your black friends tonight?”
Twitter had a few reactions:

Trixie responded to anger over the joke, tweeting, “If you think drag queens apologize for jokes at a roast, you watch too much TV.”
