Life was a drag this weekend for Tatianna, who was arrested in Atlanta for disorderly conduct on Sunday, October 13. Now the RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 2 and All-Stars Season 2 star is speaking out about the incident, saying she’s living and learning.

“I’m fine!” Tatianna a.k.a. Joey Santolini said in a statement, per TMZ. “It was a dumb situation that I wish didn’t happen but sh*t happens and people make mistakes. There was no violence or ridiculousness.”
According to TMZ, Tatianna allegedly tried to use an employees-only back door at an Atlanta nightclub after snapping a picture with one of the employees. The guy tried telling Tatianna do go around the front, but the drag queen ignored him and sashayed through the back door… and when police officers arrived on the scene, she refused to leave peacefully, the site reports.
Why exactly the police needed to be involved in this situation remains a bit baffling.

The cops handcuffed Tatianna and took her in, and she posed for a teary-eyed mugshot.

“I’m crying in the picture because I was scared and had never been in that position before,” Tatianna said in the statement. “Wish I would have just smiled.”

I wonder what’s missing from this story? Surely it wouldn’t have escalated to the point it did simply because she used the employee entrance.

It seems weird right?

I wonder though many of the stories are tired or even lackluster have you ever said anything remotely positive. You must have a very miserable existence to be so biting. I do not know you and very seldom comment on line at all but you are often the first person to comment and it always carries a negative perspective, if you dislike the content so much why do you continue to read the site. Individuals like you need to avoid those things they dislike if not they just start to appear as attention W**res.

Out of all of the comments that I’ve made here, THIS one was the straw that broke your back? Sure, why not.

??? I don’t get it.
What did Brian say that was “biting?” I wondered the same thing when I read the story; there must be more background to it to have had the police involved..

Even if Tatianna was being diva-ish (Don’t know if that’s the case), She was so great on All Stars I have to give her a break.
But just a suggestion, if you walk into a club and they kick you out….maybe leave before they call the cops. And if the cops show up to tell you to leave…..maybe leave.

I wish it said which nightclub “she” was at. Having worked at one many years ago, I saw plenty of entitled “queens”. Most couldn’t cut it as a man, so it was kind of hilarious at times.

Says the person quoting Chi Chi Rodriguez in “Too Wong Foo”.

Oh please, what’s an infamous drag queen to do when her life is boring? Drama, drama, and more drama. A drag entertainers life would be boring without the drama.
