“She Wasn’t Okay”!! One Hour Ago, Jinkx Monsoon’s Ex-Husband Michael Abbott Broke His Silence About Her Health Condition

"She couldn’t get out of bed for days. I was there—but sometimes, all I could do was sit in silence beside her."


💔 A Hidden Truth – Until Today

More than a year after the quiet and dignified breakup between RuPaul’s Drag Race double crown-winner Jinkx Monsoon and her ex-husband, British sound engineer Michael Abbott, fans were left stunned today after Michael broke his silence on a personal podcast.

“She didn’t want anyone to know—not even her fans, not even close friends. But today, she gave me permission. She told me, ‘I’m ready for them to know what I’ve been through.’”

In a rare moment of vulnerability, Michael shared that Jinkx had been silently battling severe anxiety and depression for nearly the entire duration of their marriage, often while putting on a flawless face under stage lights and television cameras.


Inside the Storm: Behind the Makeup, Behind the Applause

Michael recalled specific moments from their shared life that painted a devastating picture:

“There were days she couldn’t leave bed. She’d cancel everything—calls, rehearsals, interviews. Then the next day, she’d go on stage and perform like nothing happened. But I saw it. And sometimes, she didn’t even have words for what she was feeling.”

According to him, the pressure of international fame, public scrutiny, and the weight of becoming a queer icon had slowly eroded her ability to care for herself.
The drag industry, though colorful and loud, is not always kind.

“She was exhausted—not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually. There was a darkness she couldn’t shake off, and she never wanted it to be anyone else’s problem.”


The Turning Point: A Scary Collapse & Silent Treatment

Though neither Michael nor Jinkx confirmed specific medical incidents, sources close to the couple shared that there were moments when Jinkx experienced panic attacks so intense she had to be sedated.

“There was a night, late 2022, where she collapsed backstage,” one unnamed friend stated. “She insisted on finishing the set. But afterward, she locked herself in her dressing room and didn’t speak to anyone for three days.”

Michael added that therapy only began seriously after a near-total breakdown in early 2023, which they kept entirely off the record.


A Silent Recovery – And a Brave Decision to Speak Out

Now, over a year later, Jinkx has revealed that she is in a much better place—thanks to long-term therapy, a brief break from performance, and a new relationship with herself.

She wrote on her social media today:

“I’ve worn a lot of faces in my life. The strongest one was also the most fragile.
I finally let someone help me rebuild it from the inside out.”

She also clarified that her decision to speak publicly comes not from a need for sympathy—but because so many others are silently suffering too.

“If even one person hears this and feels less alone, then it’s worth sharing.”


💔 Michael’s Perspective: “Love Didn’t End—It Changed Form”

Michael’s voice cracked at times during the podcast episode. He never placed blame, and he never victimized her. Instead, he reflected on how mental health affects even the most intimate relationships:

“I didn’t leave her. But I couldn’t fix it for her. And sometimes, loving someone means stepping aside so they can heal in their own time.”

He revealed that even post-divorce, they remained in touch, with mutual respect and an enduring connection rooted in shared growth.


A Story That Matters

Jinkx Monsoon’s story is not just another celebrity confession. It’s a reminder that mental health is complex, that even the most radiant stars struggle, and that healing is not linear—but possible.

Her bravery isn’t just in being loud on stage—it’s in being honest in silence.

And today, that silence was finally broken.
