Jamin Ruhren [1] (born December 10, 1977), better known by the stage name Acid Betty , is an American drag queen , performer, actor and singer. He rose to national prominence after competing on the eighth season of RuPaul's Drag Race in 2016.
Early life [ edit ]
Ruhren first wore drag when he was very young, masquerading as his sister's “cousin from out of town” as a practical joke, where he wore his sister's cheerleader pompoms to act as his hair and breasts. He later said that that was when he first knew he would pass as a female in the future, even if he looked like “a fat Raggedy Ann ”.[2] Ruhren went to his first drag club when he was 17, where he saw Raja perform.[3] He is Jewish .[4]
Acid Betty, 2017
Before his appearance on RuPaul's Drag Race , Betty was a guest for an episode of Project Runway , season five in 2008, where RuPaul was the guest judge.[5] [6] [7] In 2009, Betty was in the film An Englishman in New York with John Hurt .[8] In 2010, she appeared in an eight episode web series documentary, Queens of Drag: NYC with Peppermint , Bianca Del Rio and Mimi Imfurst .[9] She has served as Ringleader at the Lincoln Center for New York City's "Rock and Roll Circus" in 2011.[10]
Betty was announced to be one of twelve competing on season eight of RuPaul's Drag Race on February 1, 2016.[11] [12] She was eliminated in episode five after performing badly on the annual snatch game challenge, and later losing a lip sync to Madonna 's "Causing a Commotion " against Naomi Smalls .[13] [14] [15]
After the show, Betty made a cameo appearance in The Path in 2018.[16]
In July 2020, Betty was featured in Drive N' Drag , a drive-in drag show.[17]
