People Editorial Guidelines Published on January 11, 2023 11:01AM EST Amethyst and Robin Fierce are spilling the tea about what went wrong in their relationship. PEOPLE has an exclusive look at Friday's episode of RuPaul's Drag Race in which the two Connecticut queens open up about their past romance, which ended prior to the two competing on the MTV reality show. News of their former coupling first surfaced in last week's two-part season 15 premiere and during Untucked — though in both cases, Amethyst and Robin Fierce remained pretty tight-lipped about what really went down. "There was a time that me and Amethyst dated for a short time," Robin Fierce said then, adding that the two met out of drag. In episode 2, they opened up more about who broke up with whom. "I feel like it was mutual," Robin said. "We both had our thing." RuPaul's Drag Race Moves to MTV for Season 15 and Casts Twin TikTok Stars Sugar and Spice Amethyst and Robin Fierce. MTV But that's different from what Robin said during Untucked. "No, Robin said [Amethyst] wouldn't text her back," Salina EsTitties pointed out before Robin clarified, "No, I said she's a bad texter and I am busy, bitch!" For her part, Amethyst appeared to take responsibility for the split. "I will admit it was my decision to not pursue things further," she confessed, telling her Drag Race costars, "Ultimately I think we were looking for different things." "That's fine," Robin noted. "As of right now, that chapter is closed." Teased about the topic being a couple's therapy session, Robin joked, "Too bad we didn't have that before, maybe we would have worked out!"
