Heidi N Closet is the stage name ofTrevien Anthonie Cheek,[1] an Americandrag queen fromRamseur, North Carolina, best known for competing on thetwelfth season ofRuPaul's Drag Race, where she placed 6th and won the Miss Congeniality award. She returned to theeighth season ofRuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars, but decided to quit the competition early, citing her mental health and wellbeing as the reason for her withdrawal.[2]

Early life

[edit]

Cheek was raised inRamseur, North Carolina.[1][3] His mother died at a young age,[3] and he is estranged from his father. He was raised by his grandmother.[4]

Career

[edit]

In 2014, shortly after turning 18, Cheek's sister invited him to a drag show inWinston-Salem, North Carolina. Cheek has said of seeing his first drag show, "I saw the glamour of being able to do whatever you want to do."[5] Cheek said his drag name "came from a joke. It started out as a lot of men from my hometown are closeted and they would always try and get my goodies and whatnotries. I was like, 'There's no need to be hiding in the closet.'"[1]

Cheek's participation as a cast member onseason 12 ofRuPaul’s Drag Race was announced on January 23, 2020.[6] He is the third contestant on the show from North Carolina, followingVictoria "Porkchop" Parker (Season 1) andStacy Layne Matthews (Season 3), and had not previously auditioned for the show.[7] Heidi experienced an allergic reaction on her first day of shooting, but finished safe. During the competition, RuPaul expressed disapproval with her name choice,[8] stating during episode 10: "I don't know if you've heard the story, but she came here as Heidi N Closet. Rotten!"[9] With each episode RuPaul refers to Heidi by different names, including Heidi Ho,[3] Heidi N Seeky, Heidi Hydrates,[9] and Heidi Afrodite.[9][10] Despite this, Heidi revealed during the Season 12 reunion episode that she had decided to keep her name.

Heidi was dubbed the "heart" of the season byOut.[11] During the competition, she placed in the top three times, winning one challenge. She also placed in the bottom two on four occasions. Her first two times in the bottom she survived the lip sync, sending homeNicky Doll andBrita respectively. Her third time in the bottom she lip-synced againstJackie Cox, and both were saved by RuPaul in a double shantay. She was eliminated in the eleventh episode, placing 6th overall in the competition, after losing her fourth lip sync to eventual winner of the seasonJaida Essence Hall. During the season finale, she was named Miss Congeniality as voted on by her peers.[12]

Cheek has experienced extreme poverty in his life and career, having indicated that he made $9,000 the year before competing onRu Paul's Drag Race, while working at a gas station.[13] When talking on her showGap Chat, Heidi said, "When I went toDrag Race, I actually had only 33 cents in my bank account the day I showed up [...] Even to just pay for the suitcases to get there was stressful." Many queens join the show hoping that experience will pay out for them, but they first need to have a significant amount of money upfront to pay for their looks. Cheek borrowed money from his boyfriend and friends for materials, then sewed all his looks with his drag sisters. The quality of the looks came up during the season during various moments but the different financial starting points were never openly acknowledged. The show does not give any financial support to participants, they must all come with their costumes and are only compensated a few hundred dollars an episode. Heidi recounted the experience, "I’m sitting up here spending between $4,000 and $5,000 on everything. Whereas some girls spent 20, 30, 40, even $50,000 on garments [...] Yeah, my garments just aren’t gonna stand up to their outfits. It’s just not gonna happen.”[14]

Heidi N Closet competed on theeighth season ofRuPaul's Drag Race All Stars (2023).[15] She decided to quit the competition early, self-eliminating in Episode 5 of the series.[2]

In 2024 Heidi N Closet starred as Robin Banks in theTubi horror comedy filmSlay, alongside fellowDrag Race alumniCara Melle,Crystal Methyd andTrinity the Tuck.[16]

[edit]

In February 2021, she released a music video for her first single, G.A.P, a parody of "WAP", featuring fellowRuPaul's Drag Race season twelve alumWidow Von'Du.[17] In 2021, Cheek was featured inTiger Queens: The Tiger King Musical, aTikTokmusical parody ofTiger King, starring as the tiger.[18]
