Monét X Change's Scalp Sheds at DWTS Show
1 Oct
Summary
- Monét X Change attended DWTS to support Maura Higgins.
- She experienced unexpected skin shedding from her scalp.
- The incident occurred after recent hair transplant surgery.

Monét X Change, a notable figure from The Traitors and RuPaul's Drag Race, recently attended a live Dancing With the Stars (DWTS) broadcast to support fellow Traitors competitor Maura Higgins. During the event, Monét experienced a peculiar and alarming physical reaction: her scalp began shedding skin. This incident followed closely after Monét had undergone hair transplant surgery and a subsequent chemical peel treatment. She had been advised by a nurse that peeling might occur, but the extent and timing of the shedding became apparent while she was in the DWTS audience, leading to a rather unsettling personal moment.
Monét shared the unexpected turn of events on her podcast, Sibling Rivalry, with co-host Bob the Drag Queen. She described noticing changes to her scalp throughout the day, escalating to visible skin shedding while she was interacting with others at the DWTS show. The situation caused Monét to feel she resembled a "lizard" as her face visibly shed skin. Despite the startling occurrence, Monét remained at the event to support Higgins, who is competing on DWTS with professional partner Mark Ballas, continuing a friendship forged during their time on The Traitors.
