Loyal to the last Thursday of the month, La Toya Jackson gave herself the liberty to travel back in time to the good old days. The retelling of her previous season of ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ where she was sharing a frame with RuPaul was one of her fond recollections. The playback is a dramatic, over-the-top scene where Jackson, representing an extremely strict character, is chewing out RuPaul. The dialogue is an escalating tension, campy one. “I thought I told you to stay in your room,” Jackson states. RuPaul retorts, “I guess you plan on making a fuss.” The argument gets louder with Jackson claiming, “Why? Why do you so deliberately oppose me? Why can’t you show me the same respect I could get from any stranger on the street?” RuPaul throws the last punch, “Because I’m not a fan! God!”
Jackson made the post with the caption: ‘On a Throwback Thursday! Me and @RuPaul having a little scene in a scene. Love you Ru!’ She tagged the show and added popular tags like #TBThursday and #rupaulsdragrace. The post was a warm reminder of her participation in the revolutionary show which has had numerous celebrity guests throughout the seasons.
The reactions from internet users to the post were immediate and extremely positive. Many people thought of Jackson’s sharp tongue, which is a part of her career that some people think has not been fully utilized. One user wrote, “This has always made me SMILE! All the love to you Latoya!” Another person said, “I think you are a brilliant comedian! I’m deriving enjoyment from witnessing your acting.” The idea that Jackson is naturally funny was also expressed by another person who referred to her famous family, saying, “to me, Michael was the same way, funny without trying to be funny.”
Those replying wished La Toya Jackson would be seen more often in front of the camera acting. Comments such as, “I really wish that you had acted more! You were so good,” and “Latoya plz do more acting!!” were almost everywhere. The public’s support confirms that Jackson is perceived as an artist with untapped potential beyond her music and reality TV fame.
Furthermore, the video clip unearthed the audience’s personal and humorous associations. One person, sharing the scene spent with the classic camp, wrote, “the whole darn time you were mommy dearest 😭 the joys of turning 40… the ish u realize.” Another person, referring to an inside joke with their family, remarked, “Me and my mom sometimes quote the monologue from the movie Mommy Dearest.” Such reactions show that a particular acting hit the viewer’s memory not just on the drama of a movie’s or a police drama’s timing but also on the comical timing and irony of the moment, thus uniting the sense of sharing togetherness.
