Jason De Puy (born October 8, 1990), better known by his stage name Salina EsTitties, is an American drag queen who competed on the fifteenth season of RuPaul's Drag Race and the eleventh season of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars. De Puy also competed as a HouseGuest on season 28 of Big Brother, finishing in 15th place.
Early life and education De Puy was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. His mother, who immigrated to the United States from Mexico when she was 17, is of Honduran descent.
De Puy had a socially progressive upbringing. His parents worked full-time and often left him in the care of his gay uncles in the Castro District, a historic gay neighbourhood in San Francisco. His older brother is also gay. His family was supportive when De Puy came out.
After graduating from high school, De Puy moved to West Hollywood, California to study musical theatre and earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. Although he aspired to perform on broadway, financial constraints prevented De Puy from moving to New York. He briefly struggled with substance abuse issues, and became homeless at one point. At 21, he started attending Alcoholic Anonymous (AA) and has been sober since.
Career EsTitties has quit drag multiple times due to how expensive the profession is. Her drag name is inspired by Selena. In West Hollywood, Salina EsTitties has performed at The Abbey and Micky's. She is also a musician. She's appeared in #NoFilter, Vida, Dance Moms, and AJ and the Queen. In 2018, she performed in the ensemble of the Los Angeles production of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.
RuPaul's Drag Race Salina EsTitties competed on the fifteenth season of RuPaul's Drag Race, placing in the bottom two four times before being eliminated in the episode "Wigloose: The Rusical". Her four lip-sync battles were against Amethyst, Spice, Malaysia Babydoll Foxx, and Loosey LaDuca. Loosey LaDuca eliminated Salina EsTitties to Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill".
Screen Rant included Salina EsTitties in a list of 15 "queens who made amazing first impressions" on Drag Race and said she "has a loud voice, a spicy personality, and a unique point of view that stands out" among her fellow contestants. Michelle Alonzo wrote, "Salina's talent show lipsync was not only fun to watch but showed her potential. With a catchy song and a perfect reference to Will Smith's infamous Oscars slap, Salina's high energy and strong effort paid off and quickly landed her at the top." For the Snatch Game challenge, Salina EsTitties portrayed the Mary, mother of Jesus. The story Salina EsTitties told during the stand-up comedy challenge on episode 11 was inspired by a real life experience at Raven-Symoné's birthday party in 2015.
Bob the Drag Queen paid tribute to Salina EsTitties following her elimination. Sam Demshenas of Gay Times said Salina EsTitties "continuously tore up the stage in her lip-sync smackdowns" and "became one of the most memorable confessional queens in the show's herstory and provided visibility for Latina women across the world".
Runway looks Smash Cut Reviews referred to Salina EsTitties's first runway outfit as "deconstructed West Coast Latina getup", and praised her ability to give an elevated shoutout to her culture. For the "Metallica"-themed runway, Salina EsTitties wore a Los Angeles lamppost costume, suggesting she's "a girl from the streets"; the outfit later earned her a Golden Boot Award for the season's worst look. In the ‘House of Fashion’ episode, where contestants have to make their own garments, her outfit was criticized by Ross Mathews as being too busy and by Michelle Visage as not fitting well. Reflecting on the "Money Ball", The A.V. Club called Salina EsTitties's choice to include food stamps in her outfit as fresh and inspired, while criticizing the look's overall execution.
For the "Night of 1,000 Beyoncés" runway category, she recreated Beyoncé's red-carpet look from the 46th Annual Grammy Awards (2004). When the runway category was "Rip Her to Shreds", Vulture commented, "Salina gives a touching tribute to her mother, portraying an immigrant crossing the border, but the unfortunate truth is that the drag is not up to the level of the story." For the "Everybody Say Glove" runway, Autostraddle praised the clear vision of the look, despite it not being their favorite. In the finale episode, Salina EsTitties appeared in "an exuberant cake dress with the ass taken out".
After the show aired, Salina EsTitties spoke about not feeling celebrated on Drag Race, particularly for representing her Latina and West Coast background on the runway. In a video that went viral, she took issue with judge Ross Mathews' critiques of her runway looks.
RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars In April 2026, EsTitties was announced as a contestant on RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars season 11. As part of the second bracket, she competed against Crystal Methyd, Silky Nutmeg Ganache, Aura Mayari, April Carrión, and Vivacious. She was eliminated in episode six.
Big Brother 28 In July 2026, De Puy was announced as a houseguest on Season 28 of Big Brother US. He was evicted on Day 24 by a 12-0 vote, finishing in 15th place. De Puy was among the alumni seated in the audience for the 1000th episode. EsTitties officially made an appearance in drag during the finale episode.
Prior to his appearance on Season 28, De Puy had previously unsuccessfully auditioned thrice for the show. In July 2024, EsTitties entered the Big Brother house for eight hours in drag as one of 9 players in the 2024 Media Day promotional season for Season 26. She was an initial nominee, but survived eviction by a 1-5 vote.
In August 2026, De Puy also appeared in the 20 player ChatBCC (now Ramble) promotional season for the Big Brother 1000th episode special called the Big Brother Battle Royale, where he was co-runners-up with Felicia Cannon, both of whom received 3 jury votes to the winner Jimmy Heagerty's 6 jury votes. Had he won, De Puy would have donated the $10,000 prize to The Trevor Project.
EsTitties has made drag impressions of her fellow houseguests, namely as Mallory Aurichio, Melody Morris, Angela Murray, Yash Patel, LaTrice Verrett, the Survivor alumni Dee Valladares and Rick Devens, Kamu Kirk, and Haley Thogmartin. In September 2026, at Big Sister, a Big Brother themed drag show co-hosted with Season 12 winner Rachel Reilly and fellow drag queen Amanda Tori Meating, EsTitties performed as ZingBootz, a drag impression of Zingbot.
Personal life De Puy lives in Los Angeles, California.
Political views and activism In February 2020, De Puy was a panellist for a West Hollywood City Council town hall on the prevalence and impact of “chemsex” within the LGBTQ+ community. Sharing his experience, De Puy, who was eight years sober at the time, explained that his substance abuse issues stemmed from a lack of queer-friendly sex education and the resulting shame he felt as a young gay man. According to him, he found intimacy to be "easier and euphoric" after being introduced to methamphetamine, however, the addiction quickly “took over his life.” De Puy also spoke against the normalization of drug use on social media.
In a 2023 interview with Entertainment Weekly, Frankie Grande credited De Puy for his sobriety. They first met when Grande was the guest judge at a local drag show, and later ran into each other at an AA meeting. Grande then appeared as a guest on season 15 of RuPaul’s Drag Race with De Puy.
