After her crowning, Alyssa declared, “Always and forever, Alyssa Edwards, [tongue pop]!” She later stated in a confessional, “This has been a long time coming.” Indeed, Alyssa (real name Justin Dwayne Lee Johnson) has been a part of the “Drag Race” family since she first competed in Season 5, placing sixth. She later returned in “All Stars 2,” placing fifth. This year marked Alyssa’s 23rd year on the drag scene and the first time making it to a season finale.
