Grey's Anatomy star Loretta Devine joined season 2 of RuPaul's Secret Celebrity Drag Race as Fabulosity. She was the second-last performer in the premier episode of the show. Speaking about her character, Fabulosity, the star said:
"I've had a very interesting career. I never thought I'd be in a drag competition but I'm at an age now where I want to do whatever the hell I want! You know what? It's exciting and new and I can't wait to see how fabulous I'm going to look!"
The actress decided to go with the name Fabulosity as she wanted to “be playful and a little funny.” She said:
"Fabulosity, she's a missing piece of all of the grand diva's of the world. That's what makes her fabulous. I just can't wait to see if I'm going to be successful at it. This is going to shock the hell out of everybody. She's fabulous. She's Fabulosity."
Her performance of Just Fine by Mary J. Blige received mixed reviews from the judges, who asked her to trust herself more. Judge Kressley said:
"Some of the moves and some of the dance may have been a little tentative, but realize and remember that you have the best support team in the entire drag world working with you.”
In the end, Fabulosity was voted off from the competition who then revealed her real identity as Loretta. She became the first contestant to be voted off in season 2 of the reality competition.
