Seeing as Santino was never seemingly fired from the show, the fashion expert likely left due to scheduling conflicts, or to pursue other projects. It is also possible that, with no formal drag background, Rice was not asked back in a format shake-up to offer new insight from the judging panel.<\/p>\n<p>However, Tammie Brown, a contestant from <em>Drag Race&#8217;s <\/em>first season, has claimed that Santino was fired after several queens had complained to production about his harsh critiques. &#8216;You have Santino up here, saying these rude things to us,&#8221; Tammie <a href=\"https:\/\/inmagazine.ca\/2023\/07\/what-ever-happened-to-santino-rice\/\">said on <em>Drag Queen Interviews with Matt<\/em><\/a><em>.<\/em>&#8220;Who the hell is he anyways?
