'RuPaul's Drag Race' Star Anetra 'Stepping Away' from Drag, Cancels Tour

READ TIME: 2 MIN.

If you were looking forward to seeing "RuPaul" star Anetra "Walk That F**king Duck," you'll have to wait a bit longer: The Season 15 fan favorite has announced she's "stepping away" from drag for now.

The performer, whose drag name is similar to "anatra," the Italian word for "duck," knows how to throw a fierce gait – and now she's sashayed away from her planned "You Better Walk That F**king Duck" tour, which had been planned to take place under the auspices of Klub Kids, one of the UK's largest drag events.

Anetra's UK tour was set to run from Oct. 23 - Nov. 7, but now all the UK tour's events are canceled.

Online reports indicate that fans and organizers alike were puzzled about what was going on, until Anetra posted an Instagram Stories update explaining that she would "not be touring with klub kids.

"This year has been very difficult for me in a lot of areas," Anetra went on to say, "and there is a lot happening behind the scenes – that I'm not ready to speak on at this time."

Anetra went on to acknowledge that her decision would "disappoint a lot of people," but she pointed out that "I am a human being and just need a moment to heal properly to return to u 100%".

Perhaps in anticipation of rumors claiming she was quitting drag for good, the performer emphasized that "I love drag & wish I could be there with you all but I have reached the point of necessity.

"This isn't me quitting, just stepping away for a moment to give my body what it needs," Anetra continued. "Please understand & stop the hate messages."

She concluded with, " 'If you can't love yourself, how In the hell can you love somebody else?" and signed off as "Isaiah" – her non-drag name.

Anetra may not be walking that duck just now, but you can check out the looks and glam she's served up at her Instagram.
