Bosco told Us Weekly on April 11, 2024, that during filming she formed a heartfelt connection with her fellow castmate Derrick, who joined the Vegas show back in 2020:

“Derrick’s kind of the girl. A lot of us within the franchise have done this guest spot moment at the Vegas revue, and every single person, I was going, ‘What do I need to expect? Who’s there, what do we like?’ And every single person I talked to is like, ‘Derrick’s the girl. She’s so nice.'"

The RuPaul’s Drag Race season 8 contestant opened up about the generational gap and shared that she "consciously made an effort" for newcomers to feel welcomed within the RuPaul’s Drag Race Live UNTUCKED cast.
