The Unexpected Reason Iggy Azalea Made A Cameo On Trixie Motel

Trixie Mattel was joined by "Fancy" rapper, Iggy Azalea, on the latest episode of "Trixie Motel," but she wasn't there to help her pick out a wallpaper color or look over the local vintage shop for the best mid-century decor for the motel's rooms. Azalea was there to provide some advice on how to properly clean the motel because she has a surprising and relevant background.

Before she was an international celebrity, Azalea was a struggling teenager who moved from Australia to the United States with hopes of making it in the entertainment industry (via Daily Mail). To support herself, she worked as a housekeeper for five years. During that time, she encountered some interesting things. Azalea told Chelsea Handler while on her show "Chelsea Lately," "[I] found a poo once. On the doormat, which is not where poos belong."

She didn't share that information with Mattel, though. Instead, she helped the drag queen learn how to properly clean a motel room by walking her through the process at a different Palm Springs hotel. She taught the drag queen how to make a bed that is held to a hotel standard, clean up the floor with used towels, and even how to successfully steal from the guests (this was a joke, of course). The pair were able to pull off an impressive hotel clean, down to how they folded the sheets!
