Queen Corgi Unmasked on ‘The Masked Singer’ After Early Exit

Queen Corgi’s Departure Explained
Oshry performed Sia’s “Unstoppable” in her final appearance. Prior to this, she showcased her talent with a rendition of Barbra Streisand’s “Don’t Rain on My Parade.” Instead of facing elimination, Oshry decided to step back, citing family commitments.
In an interview with Variety, Oshry explained her difficult decision: “I had a four-month-old at the time. I was breastfeeding exclusively, and it really started to take its toll.” Balancing her growing family with the demands of the show became overwhelming.
Support from Producers
Oshry revealed that when she expressed her intention to withdraw, the producers were supportive. She shared, “They told me that this was an option. I think that would work for me.” This supportive atmosphere allowed her to exit gracefully and prioritize her personal life.
