Victoria "PorkChop" Parker, the first queen eliminated from RuPaul's Drag Race, has been hospitalized due to a significant health emergency. His team reported that a hamburger consumed from a major grocery chain led to severe vomiting, diarrhea, and dehydration, prompting an ambulance transfer to the hospital.
During his week-long hospital stay, PorkChop underwent various tests and treatments. He was diagnosed with four distinct medical conditions: atrial fibrillation, acute kidney injury, hyponatremia stemming from an intestinal infection, and hypertension.
PorkChop is currently bed-bound for up to three weeks and requires ongoing care from a visiting nurse and physical therapist. His team expressed optimism for a full recovery and highlighted immediate needs, including a motorized scooter and personal security, to improve his quality of life.
A GoFundMe page has been launched to support PorkChop during his recovery. As of Saturday afternoon, the page had garnered $4,200, with contributions from fellow Drag Race alumni and World of Wonder. Fans are encouraged to extend support to the beloved Drag Race legend.
