The iconic fight between Shangela and Mimi Imfurst only lasted a few minutes on television, but some fans think there may have been more to it that wasn't aired. According to Gay Times, fellow Season 3 contestant Alexis Mateo revealed on the show "Hey Qween" that a three week production break in which everyone was sent home from filming followed the infamous "Untucked" fight. This was unprecedented for the show and remains a reason why fans think something worse happened that simply never aired.
Alexis essentially confirmed this. During her "Hey Qween" appearance, she said, "The Shangela-Mimi incident was worse than you guys got to see" (via Lainey Gossip). It appears, though, that everything was kept tight-lipped. Mimi even used RuPaul's health as an excuse for the production break at the time. However, another Season 3 contestant, Stacey Lane Matthews, revealed on the podcast "Feast of Fun" that producers actually needed those three weeks to figure out how to proceed with the season after such a bad fight.
Moreover, it appears that Shangela may have drawn blood from Mimi during the fight. Lainey Gossip notes that Mimi's wig was situated on her head differently after the fight, potentially covering up a cut on her forehead. Stacey corroborated the cut's existence on "Feast of Fun," so it's perhaps the bloodshed of another contestant that caused the break after all.
Finally, according to Alexis' appearance on "Hey Qween," this incident, including the break, is still deemed by the series' producers to be the worst issue the series has had to handle.
