Drag queen Fontana discusses deportation uncertainty during TV production

Drag artist Fontana, known for her appearance on Drag Race Sverige, has revealed that she faced significant personal distress while filming the TV4 program ‘Förrädarna’. During the production, Fontana was awaiting a decision from the Swedish Migration Agency regarding her residency status.

Fontana expressed that the uncertainty was a “nightmare,” noting that she feared receiving a deportation order that would force her to leave Sweden and her Swedish husband. She cited the conservative stance on LGBTQ+ issues in Brazil as a reason for her anxiety regarding a potential negative decision. The production team was reportedly prepared to handle the situation should she have been required to leave the filming location immediately upon receiving notice.
