“RuPaul’s Drag Race” winner Violet Chachki claims she was “physically dragged out” of gay club LeĀ DĆ©pĆ“t in Paris for “being too femme.”

Chachki took to Twitter to complain about the club’s treatment tweeting, “I was just physically dragged out of le depot in Paris for not being masc presenting enough. I’m in shock and disgusted.Ā  fu*k the French.”

A video of the aftermath was also posted on Facebook.

Chachki detailed the incident to Hornet saying she four men “picked us up and dragged us out of the club.”

ā€œIt was a fashion week party. At a club that has dark rooms downstairs for sex. I was there seeing 3 friends that were performing/dj. I wasnā€™t in drag but I had makeup on. I met someone there who also had makeup on but was obviously male bodied but very feminine. We tried to go downstairs to the sexy part when like 4 guys picked us up and dragged us out of the club,” Chachki says.

The drag star later retracted her “fu*k the French” comment tweeting, “Obviously I love the French and I love paris. There’s good and bad people everywhere. I was upset- and rightfully so. What a drama. Over it.”

Update:Ā LeĀ DĆ©pĆ“t has responded to Chachki’s allegations with a statement placing blame on Chachki’s behavior.

“Violet Chachki was returned to the door of the establishment following unacceptable and inappropriate behavior and several reports of clients. Violet Chachki has posted videos of the Cruising Sex space of the establishment on her Instagram account, among others, even though this is expressly forbidden in the settlement of the establishment and that it had been reminded to him several times,” the club writes.
