Name Origin

Jaremi formerly went by 'Phi Phi O'Hara' which originated from "Phoenix Matthews", his original drag name. He then changed to "Phoenix O'Hara" after adopting the Haus name from his drag mother, Season 10 finalist Asia O'Hara. He later changed to "Phi Phi" as this is what Dida Ritz had nicknamed him. Since his final run on the show Jaremi dropped the drag name and now goes by either Jaremi or JustJaremi.

Drag Family

Being Asia O'Hara's drag daughter, Jaremi is the drag granddaughter of Josephine O'Hara, drag great-granddaughter of Sweet Savage and drag sister of Kylee O'Hara Fatale. She also has a drag daughter called Kara O'Hara.
