What’s on Symone’s Feed? Housewives, Porn, and Politics.

In 2021, Symone entered the Drag Race workroom as an already fully-formed superstar, teeming with talent, taste, and too many quotables to mention here. But since winning the most coveted crown in drag, the “Ebony Enchantress” has taken to filling a Wendy Williams-shaped hole in our hearts (with just as many blonde wigs but a lot more ass padding). Symone stars in the second season of Avalon TV, a genre-bending series that might be best described as The View meets Jersey Shore. Between being a television host and attending fashion shows with her House of Avalon sisters, the drag superstar feels like she’s finally “found her footing,” she told us. But we didn’t want her to get too comfortable, so we decided to put her back in the hot seat for this week’s Search History, in which she ranks the Hollywood Jennifer’s and tells us which Real Housewife she’d like to see in the White House.

EMMA STOUT: Hiii diva! Ready to get started?

SYMONE: Diva! Yes, I’m fresh and ready 😂

STOUT: A/S/L?

SYMONE: American Sign Language?

STOUT: Age/sex or sign/location.

SYMONE: Oooh, the Arkansas education jumped out 😂. 29 / Capricorn Sun, Gemini Moon, Scorpio Rising (chaos, I know) / Los Angeles, CA. 

STOUT: What’s the first thing you do in the morning?

SYMONE: Oh, I have to get a Red Bull first and foremost. Wake the body up, ya know? Then I start my skincare routine.

STOUT: I know all too well. Red Bull, no sugar, because it makes me feel skinny. If you could only use one makeup or skincare product for the rest of your life, what would it be?

SYMONE: Ooh, that’s hard! There’s so much that goes into it. For skincare: Botox. For makeup: Juvederm. Final answer!

STOUT: Genius. I’m doing this interview Symone-style. So, fuck, marry, kill: L.A. venues.

SYMONE: Ohhh, she wants the tea momma. In this moment, I’d probably marry and fuck The Edition because it can be classy but also a lil trashy if ya go to the basement! If ya know, ya know! 😉 Kill Del Taco because have you eaten there? Enough said. Everyone was raving about it and I didn’t understand. In N’ Out was a contender too, but salt saved that meal.

STOUT: Yes, totally. I’m gonna give you five Jennifer’s to rank: Lewis, Lawrence, Hudson, Lopez, and Aniston.

SYMONE: 

1. Jennifer Motherfuckin Lewis 
2. Jennifer Hudson (Dreamgirls specifically when she sings “I Am Changing”) 
3. Jennifer Lawrence (love X-Men: Days of Future Past) 
4. Jennifer Aniston 
5. Jenny from the block.

 

STOUT: Taste. Except easy on my girl J-Lo. Post-divorce and pre-fabulous!

SYMONE: Listen, I had to be honest with ya. Love her in Enough though. She taught me not to take shit from a man.

STOUT: Send a screenshot of your most recent Google searches.

SYMONE: Omg I would ONLY do this for you lol

STOUT: Barbianaaa. Did you watch Love Island?

SYMONE: Okay, listen! I was late to the party, but let me tell you. I binged all 36 episodes within a week, I think just in time for the reunion. It was sooo good and I completely understand the obsession. Serena roasting Kordell after Casa. Standing on business! I LIVED! But JaNa is my queen. Like, her run on the show is inspirational. Love her and Kenny *JaNa voice* too.

STOUT:  Who’s your dream guest, dead or alive, on House of Avalon?

SYMONE: Omg, so many! If I had to choose just one person: Whitney Houston. Imagine. What would she say? What would she do? Tune in TONIGHT to find out. Wendy Williams would be fab, too. I’ve always loved how she did her show and her honesty, whether right or dead wrong lol.

STOUT: Wendy ALWAYS had her finger directly on the pulse of pop culture. What’s the most iconic Wendy moment?

SYMONE: Oh, always! Her and The View helped me keep up for so many years. Her and Omarosa going at it will always be my fav, but the Whitney interview is top tier for me.

STOUT: “You’re not talking to me. I’m a mother.” History was made.

SYMONE: HISTORY! Should be required listening. But hate when the favs beef.

STOUT: What’s your favorite celebrity beef?

SYMONE: Personally I love Nicki vs Everybody because they always try to come for her but it never works. Sure, she may be a little nutty sometimes but that’s why we live. That’s why we love. Like Nicki vs Mariah 🙌 If ya ever need a laugh, go back and watch those American Idol clips.

STOUT: Oh my god. But they actually loved each other deep down.

SYMONE: You know what? I always kind of thought that too. They were just having a diva awf.

STOUT: They always try her though!

SYMONE: Always! But that one kind of worked out for both of them TBH. Thank god for that shoe.

STOUT: I could do this all day but I have a few more questions…

SYMONE: Same! Yes, yes. Back to business.

STOUT: What’s on your Twitter feed right now?

SYMONE: I’m just going to be real with ya diva. Housewives, porn, & politics.

STOUT: The holy trinity ❤️Which housewife are you voting for president?

SYMONE: Purely entertainment value, I’m voting for Monica [Garcia] with Erika Jayne as Vice President. Both would tell it like it is and look great.

STOUT: Describe House of Avalon season two in a sentence.

SYMONE: Avalon TV season two is RIVETING EVENT TELEVISION. I feel like I really found my footing as a talk show host.

STOUT: I’m sat!

SYMONE: Yaass! Tell ya friends too.

STOUT: Last question: what’s your password?

SYMONE: Sugarlips12590.

STOUT: Ok sugar lips, logging off.

SYMONE: Until next time. 😘
