why was willam belli disqualified from rupauls drag race

It's now been a few weeks since the March 19, 2024 episode of RuPaul's Drag Race in which contestant Willam Belli was disqualified, but as of April 4, 2024 there was still no official word from the show (nor Belli himself) as to the reason why Belli was booted.

Contestants on the show are required to sign a contract agreeing to remain sequestered while the show is being filmed and, additionally, stating they will have no contact with the outside world during filming - basically to avoid and prevent leakage of show info before episodes air on television.

There has been quite a bit of speculation that Belli broke the terms of his contract for use of a computer or cell phone, and many have claimed they heard such a rumor weeks before the episode aired, including a contributing writer of online magazine Seattle Gay Scene.

In several interviews Belli has given several to the press since the elimination - including one on the day after the episode aired to Entertainment Weekly - Belli has refused to give a reason, instead responding with jokes and witty commentary when asked.

Due to Belli's behavior since his exit, there has been more controversy suggestion that keeping the real reason a secret was planned by the show's staff and/or Belli as a continuing publicity stunt.
