Tamara Yajia Refuses to Confirm or Deny Her QAnon Affiliation

Thanks to the coronavirus, comedians are now trapped at home like the rest of us, so we decided that while we’re all self-quarantining, we’d do something a little different from our usual “Follow Friday� column.

She detailed her tenure as an 11-year-old child performer in an Ace of Base cover band in Argentina, shared her thoughts on the post-corona future of digital comedy, and told us her favorite QAnon conspiracy theories (a group she is, allegedly, not affiliated with). She also poured us some tea about an early-aughts reality-TV star who popped up in the almost soft-core-porn vampire B-movie she had a role in: “We shot a scene in my parents’ room … Tila Tequila had a full sex scene in my parents’ bathtub.�
