JiDion reflects on Pokimane hate raid drama: “I need to think before I speak” YouTubeYoutuber JiDion has spoke openly about his Twitch ban again, reflecting on how the Pokimane hate raid situation has affected the way he acts when creating content. On the most recent addition of Logan Paul’s ‘Impaulsive’ podcast, Paul and his co-hosts sat down to speak to JiDion. During the episode, they went in-depth while discussing many key moments in the Youtuber’s life and career, including the events surrounding the content creators’ permanent ban from Twitch earlier this year. Twitch star Imane ‘Pokimane’ Anys was forced to cut her January 12 stream short after a wave of hate and harassment came her way — spurred on by JiDion. She was streaming Valorant with fellow star streamers Valkyrae, QuarterJade, and others when she noticed a new, loud wave of viewers in her chat who were spamming the message “L + RATIO”. During the podcast, JiDion discussed how he often gets into trouble when creating live content because his lack of filter causes him to leak things constantly. And while he didn’t dwell too long on his permanent Twitch ban, he did highlight a vital takeaway he took from the incident. “After the Pokimane situation, I realised I need to not censor myself, but I need to think before I speak,” he said. JiDion then went on to discuss the way the YouTube landscape has changed dramatically in the last five years, stating that “Youtube has become so corporate it’s actually ridiculous.” However, when it was then raised that this issue is the platform’s fault, not the creators, DiJion fervently disagreed with the sentiment. “I think it is the creators’ fault because the bags are made now to where you need to go corporate.” JiDion was initially only given a 14-day ban for the incident, this quickly turned into a permanent ban from Twitch. While he believed the 14-day ban to be fair, JiDion was quick to speak out about his perma ban as being a decision made due to outside pressure. While most of the drama around JiDion and Pokimane has fizzled out, much social discourse remains about the way Pokimane and other female-identifying streamers are treated both on their streams and on other online forums.

JiDion rejects Swarmz boxing challenge and begs Joe Weller for fight – Dexerto
JiDion rejects Swarmz boxing challenge and begs Joe Weller for fight YouTube: JiDionPremiumYouTube star JiDion has officially rejected a boxing challenge from British rapper Swarmz, saying that he wants a bout with Joe Weller, instead. JiDion is itching for a fight with Joe Weller in spite of multiple, repeated callouts from Swarmz. Thus far, JiDion has yet to step inside the boxing ring. However, he wants to take part in the mysterious January boxing card that is rumored to contain a major bout between KSI and a pro fighter. While it’s still unclear if this event is actually happening or not, the buzz continues to rise — and Swarmz wants a piece of the pie. Over the past month, British rapper Swarmz has been calling out JiDion repeatedly in hopes of taking part in the American influencer’s debut boxing match. Unfortunately, JiDion has dodged him at every turn — and now, he has officially turned Swarmz down, saying that he’d prefer a bout with Joe Weller, instead. JiDion officially rejects Swarmz’s offer for January boxing match JiDion discussed the matter in a YouTube video on October 11, where he admitted that, while Swarmz would certainly motivate him to train hard, he just isn’t the opponent he’s got his eye on. “I say this from the bottom of my heart, with all conviction, that in January, in front of thousands of people and millions across the world… I’m not gonna be your fighting opponent,” he said. “I wanted to let you know that I respect you and what you’ve got going on, but I just want Joe Weller. That’s genuinely all I want. I just know me personally, I’m not a boxer. …I just want Joe. I just wanna beat his a**. And I just wanna make a dope-a** YouTube video.” “Me, personally, the storyline I wanna build, I wanna go against Joe,” he continued. (Topic begins at 9:30) Weller hasn’t set foot inside a boxing ring since his bout against KSI back in 2018. Although some rumors surfaced that hinted he’d be making a comeback, he has yet to touch gloves with an opponent again at the time of writing. This isn’t the first time he’s asked Weller for a turn in the ring, either; he asked the British influencer for a match back in August, and seems bent on his goal despite radio silence from Weller’s end. It’s unclear if this match will ever happen, but one thing’s certain — JiDion isn’t donning any boxing gloves unless he’s facing Joe Weller.

JiDion on verge of YouTube channel being deleted after strike for watching gambling video – Dexerto
JiDion on verge of YouTube channel being deleted after strike for watching gambling video Popular YouTube streamer JiDion has pleaded with the platform to release a strike from his channel, after it put him only one more strike away from having all of his content removed. JiDion claims the most recent strike is unjustified because despite showing gambling content, he was watching a video that was critical of gambling, and did not support or advocate gambling to his audience. On August 15, JiDion showed his strike notification, which confirmed it was for “promoting gambling.” “I’ve never gambled in my life and the video I reacted to was a hit piece on why you shouldn’t gamble. Now my channel is one strike from almost getting deleted currently freaking out.” JiDion quickly appealed the strike, but judging by a follow-up email, his first attempt to have it removed was unsuccessful. “Our team has reviewed your content, and, unfortunately, we think it violates our sale of regulated goods policy,” YouTube confirmed. “Please @TeamYouTube,” JiDion tweeted, “not once in this stream did I say gamble I’ve always been against it and the video I was watching was against gambling. “I’ve never whined on Twitter but this is just crazy 1 more strike and all my channels are gone.” In a boost to his hopes, YouTube responded to his most recent tweet to confirm that they were “looking into this” – despite rejecting the first appeal in only a matter of minutes. For now, JiDion will simply have to wait for YouTube’s final decision. If the strike is upheld, he will be on very shaky ground, with one more strike potentially resulting in his channel being taken down completely. To make matters worse, his TikTok account was also deleted on August 15.

JiDion posts mugshot after criminal trespassing charges – Dexerto
JiDion posts mugshot after criminal trespassing charges Twitter: Jidion6YouTube star JiDion has posted his mugshot after being charged with criminal trespassing due to a prank he pulled off for one of his videos. JiDion is a high-profile YouTuber who is best known for his over-the-top prank videos like getting a haircut while sitting courtside at an NBA game. However, some of his antics have gotten the YouTuber into trouble. He was notably kicked out of the US Open after getting a haircut in the front row of a tennis match between Nick Kyrgios and Karen Khaachanov. Now, it looks like things are getting more serious. Earlier this month, a warrant went out for JiDion’s arrest after he made his way onto a college campus to shower a professor with gifts on Valentine’s Day. His prank was not taken very well, and the professor insisted that JiDion and his entourage leave her classroom. Despite her protests, the pranksters refused… even after being threatened with a call to the local police department. The influencer was later charged with criminal trespassing as a result of the incident, and was even arrested during a live stream several days afterwards — during which he asked the police officer putting him in handcuffs to pose for a thumbnail. JiDion shares his own mugshot amid criminal trespassing charges Now, JiDion has officially shared his mugshot with the world, posting a screenshot of himself cheesing in an orange uniform to his Twitter profile on April 19. Although JiDion has now been processed, the status of his case is still listed as inactive, meaning that it has yet to go to judgment — usually because a defendant has not been found or is unavailable. Despite all these legal proceedings, JiDion has continually posted to his social media accounts, and was even advised by his legal team to post a YouTube video after his social security number and driver’s license were recently leaked by hackers.

JiDion banned from all NBA related events for sleeping at WNBA game – Dexerto
JiDion banned from all NBA related events for sleeping at WNBA game YouTube: JiDionYouTube prankster JiDion got banned from “all NBA-related events” after catching some Z’s at a WNBA game in his latest high-profile sports prank. JiDion is a prominent YouTuber who is best known for his over-the-top pranks, which sometimes take place at high-profile sporting events. In the past, JiDion has been kicked out of athletic competitions like the US Open after getting a haircut while sitting courtside. (He also got a haircut while sitting courtside at an NBA game the year prior, although he didn’t get punished for this particular cosmetic kerfuffle.) Although JiDion’s sporting pranks have seen him sitting on the sidelines, his latest practical joke saw him get in on the action — which caused him to get kicked out of the game, entirely. On July 19, JiDion uploaded a prank video where he decided to troll players and fans at a WNBA game between the Minnesota Lynx and the Dallas Wings. After complaining about the heat to a referee, the ball flew into the crowd — right where JiDion was sitting. He managed to retrieve the ball, but instead of giving it to a ref, he decided to attempt a jump shot… and failed. (Topic begins at 4:50) However, his stunt caused him to get kicked out of the game. A member of the arena’s staff led him away from the court and informed him that he wasn’t allowed to shoot the ball in a conversation that JiDion caught on tape. “We will send you home tonight,” the staff member said. “You might get a trespass from the team. You should have not taken a shot during the game.” JiDion fans spam WNBA Instagram account after YouTuber pulls off ‘sleeping’ prank JiDion didn’t let this bring him down, though, and managed to attend another WNBA game in Los Angeles where he laid down on some courtside seats and took a nap – blanket, pillow, and all. However, he ended up getting booted out of that game, as well – and subsequently banned from “all NBA-related events” by staff. JiDion’s fanbase has seemingly taken to the comments section on the WNBA’s official Instagram account, as a result of his latest pranks, spamming sleeping emojis to match the title of JiDion’s video: “Don’t Sleep on the WNBA!” As previously stated, this is far from the first time JiDion’s antics have gotten him booted out of a sporting event — and it wouldn’t be the first time he’s been threatened with trespassing charges, either. In fact, JiDion was charged with criminal trespassing back in April after his prank at a Texas University landed him in hot water with the law.

JiDion makes Lizzo laugh while proposing with ring pop during concert – Dexerto
JiDion makes Lizzo laugh while proposing with ring pop during concert YouTube: JiDionYouTube star JiDion ‘proposed’ to Lizzo during one of her recent concerts, getting a laugh out of the pop star — but he wasn’t allowed to stick around for long. JiDion really, really likes Lizzo. We mean, really. The YouTuber has done just about everything in his power to get the singer’s attention: Everything from asking his fans to flood her social media to writing and performing a song all about her. While there’s certainly still a wide chasm between A-List celebrities and internet stars, JiDion was hellbent on shortening the gap and wifing up the ‘About Damn Time’ singer. Finally, he was able to meet her on Instagram Live back in August after months and months of trying. The two had a short, humorous conversation where JiDion expressed his love for the flutist and his desire to meet her in person. JiDion shocks Lizzo with Ring Pop proposal during concert He would get that chance in October 2022, when he attended Lizzo’s concert with front-row seats by the stage. In true Deadpool style, JiDion brought along a Ring Pop and ‘popped the question’ to the star right as she came out to greet her fans. At first, she seemed confused, but appeared to remember her interaction with the YouTuber and couldn’t help but laugh. Unfortunately for JiDion, she didn’t respond to his request and instead went on with the show — but it looks like the YouTuber had a good time, anyway. (Topic begins at 2:13) However, the night wasn’t without some drama; JiDion ended up getting kicked out of the venue by security for an unknown reason (although it wouldn’t be the first time he’s been escorted out of a public event). Luckily, nothing else happened, leaving JiDion to seek out another way to lock down Lizzo and put a ring on it.

Jidion kicked out of TwitchCon EU in light of permanent ban – Dexerto
Jidion kicked out of TwitchCon EU in light of permanent ban Banned Twitch streamer Jidion was kicked out of TwitchCon EU, with convention security confiscating his badge while he was live on Instagram. Jidion has been the center of a number of controversies spanning the last six months. His name started to appear in headlines after he sent his viewers to Pokimane’s channel in what is commonly referred to as a “hate raid”. Twitch swiftly issued a permanent ban on Jidion’s channel due to the harassment, but he and Pokimane would later collab and squash any beef the two had. But that wouldn’t be the last time the streamer would be in the news for extreme actions. He was later kicked out of a furry convention for “making people uncomfortable” and would receive a lifetime Wimbledom ban for trolling during a soccer match. Jidion has turned all of these outrageous stunts into content for his YouTube channel. Jidion kicked from TwitchCon On July 17, Jidion went live on Instagram to deliver the news that he had been kicked out of TwitchCon EU 2022 which took place over the weekend of the 16th. And of course, he promised his fans a “banger video” of the event. “Been here for four hours,” Jidion claimed standing outside of the venue. “They literally kicked us out right when we were leaving. Brodie took my badge and everything, but it’s all good though. We got in, got a banger video…” An employee working the event then came out of the building and requested that Jidion’s friend also hand over his badge. When asked why, the employee stated, “They’re revoking your access as well because of violation of the rules.” Jidion asked if his friend could keep the badge if they left the property, but the employee was adamant about getting the badge and followed the holder for a bit before they reluctantly handed it over. “Twitch! Bring your boy back!” Jidion shouted as he walked away from the venue. “I’m not done! Imma see you all in San Diego! Twitch, you need to step up your security. I caught you lackin’.” And so it seems TwitchCon 2022 hasn’t seen the last of Jidion, or so he hopes. No footage of Jidion inside the event has been posted, but if his video is anything like his previous stunts, it’s sure to be an interesting watch.

JiDion kicked out of US Open for getting haircut in second Grand Slam tournament ban – Dexerto
JiDion kicked out of US Open for getting haircut in second Grand Slam tournament ban Twitter: SportsCenter, Instagram: US OpenYouTube star JiDion Adams has received his second ban from a Grand Slam tennis tournament for getting a haircut during a US Open match. Somehow, JiDion has made the simple act of getting a haircut a controversial occurence. The YouTuber has a history of getting his haircut at public sporting events – like the time he got a trim at a Minnesota Timberwolves game on March 25, 2022. While that stunt was notable and a bit silly, it was innocuous enough to go, largely, without incident. That won’t be the case regarding JiDion’s latest public cut. JiDion gets banned from second major tennis tournament for haircut At the US Open match between Nick Kyrgios and Karen Khaachanov, JiDion was seen in the front row getting a haircut while play was still ongoing. While plenty of fans and viewers at home got a kick out of JiDion’s second public trim, the tournament organizers did not. According to the USTA, “security went to the two individuals. They were escorted out of their seats and then off the grounds for disruption of play.” Noting the odd nature of the disruption, the USTA rep quipped “[t]here’s a first time for anything.” But this isn’t “the first time” JiDion has gotten in trouble at a major tennis match, by far. During a Wimbledon match between Novak Djokavic and Jannik Sinner on July 5, JiDion was seen pounding his chest and blowing an airhorn. This behavior resulted in a lifetime ban from Wimbledon. It’s unknown whether JiDion has received a similar lifetime ban from the US Open, or any of the other Grand Slam tournaments, as the USTA has not responded to Dexerto’s request for comment. As it stands now, if JiDion is going for the “grand slam” of being kicked out of the major tourneys, he is halfway there.

Jidion impersonator fools everyone after “sneaking” into TwitchCon – Dexerto
Jidion impersonator fools everyone after “sneaking” into TwitchCon Twitch: SamhamTwitch streamer Samham has pranked the live streaming community by “sneaking” into TwitchCon pretending to be controversial and banned creator Jidion. Earlier this year, Jidion was permanently banned from Twitch following a hate raid on Pokimane’s channel. Despite apologizing and making up her, the 21-year-old still remains banned. It doesn’t look like he’ll be back anytime soon either. Jidion has even claimed that the platform is “racist” after a streamer was unbanned in seven days after having sex on stream, while he still remains permanently banned for what he claims was “a far lesser offense.” Following on from being kicked out of TwitchCon EU in July for allegedly harassing TommyInnit’s fans, an impersonator pretending to be the banned creator attended TwitchCon 2022 in San Diego — and they had just about everybody fooled Jidion impersonator appears in TwitchCon In a October 12 video, Twitch streamer Samham headed to TwitchCon looking just like the banned streamer, kitted with Jidion’s classic ‘professional rawdoggger’ t-shirt while also wearing crocs and a black durag. Samham explained that the platform had done Jidion wrong, and being a Twitch partner himself, he had no issues getting into the event dressed up like him. After immediately entering the venue, Jidion fans began following and asking the impersonator for photos. Before long, security even began following him too, where they asked to see the other side of this badge to make sure it’s “legitimate.” Initially refusing, he eventually showed the security, who took a picture of his badge before continuing on wondering around the venue. With security still trailing in the distance, he attracted more and more attention as word that Jidion was at the event circled. Samham even made a guest appearance on Nickeh30’s panel, where he freaked out and fanboyed over the streamer while pretending to be Jidion — which was absolutely comical. Throughout the 17-minute long video, hundreds of fans were fully convinced that it was actually him. While a few suspected that it wasn’t Jidion, even one of his friends and fellow streamer iziprime was fooled. At the end of the video, he event briefly got the chance to talk to Jidion after iziprime FaceTimed in disbelief.

Jidion joins Logan Paul and KSI as first member of ‘Prime Squad’ – Dexerto
Jidion joins Logan Paul and KSI as first member of ‘Prime Squad’ YouTube: IMPAULSIVE / Instagram: drinkprimeUp-and-coming YouTube sensation ‘Jidion’ is the first to join KSI and Logan Paul’s ‘Prime Squad’ — a group of budding influencers presumably sponsored by their Prime Hydration drink brand. YouTube stars KSI and Logan Paul first unveiled their Prime Hydration sports beverage earlier this year. The two creators officially ended their infamous rivalry to create this new company, which currently boasts 6 flavors and is available in most major retailers across the United States. Prime recently launched in the United Kingdom, drawing massive crowds of fans who hoped to meet up with KSI and Paul to celebrate the drink’s UK debut. View this post on Instagram Viewers were quick to notice that fellow YouTuber Jidion was with them for some unknown reason, although it looked like he was slated to be a guest on Logan’s IMPAULSIVE podcast. This theory was proven true on June 21, when he sat down with Paul to discuss his career as a YouTube star and his permanent ban from Twitch back in January — as well as to reveal an unexpected announcement. Logan halted the podcast to reveal that Jidion is the first in he and KSI’s ‘Prime Squad.’ According to Paul, the Prime Squad is a “group of up-and-comers” who are presumably sponsored by Prime and affiliated with KSI and Paul in some way. “We wanna help you and amplify you in whatever way we can while we’re building this company,” Logan said. “We’re stoked to have you on board.” (Topic begins at 58:41) It’s unclear who will be next to join the Prime Squad, but it’s certain that both KSI and Logan Paul are fans of Jidion, who cited KSI as one of his biggest inspirations and even purportedly coached him on how to succeed as a social media star. This marks the latest move for Prime Hydration following major fan meetups for its UK launch, which grew so big and boisterous that they ended up getting shut down.

JiDion hits back after Twitch ban for Pokimane harassment – Dexerto
JiDion hits back after Twitch ban for Pokimane harassment Twitch: Jidion / Twitter: PokimaneYouTuber JiDion has spoke out after his ban from Twitch under the harassment rules, following a hate raid of Pokimane, which ultimately caused his suspension. On January 12, Pokimane shut off her stream early, after her chat became flooded with messages simply spamming “L + Ratio.” The chat spammers then claimed that this was a directed hate raid from JiDion, who had sent his viewers to Pokimane’s channel – however she appeared unaware of who he was, asking, “who is JiDion? Sent people to my stream to spam… That’s embarrassing, if you get banned I’m not gonna be sad.” JiDion is a popular YouTuber with over 3 million subscribers, who only recently began to stream on Twitch regularly, becoming a partner on January 11 – he was then banned two days later. The ban will last two weeks, and JiDion said he would “take this L cause what I did really was [against] TOS lol.” JiDion had also made comments about Pokimane’s viewers, claiming that she had a boyfriend and that “she is not going to f**k you.” He also changed his profile picture on Twitter to an image of Pokimane without makeup. Twitch’s community guidelines protect streamers from targeted harassment, including harassment that takes place off Twitch. Specifically what JiDion did is described as prohibited in the guidelines: Inciting viewers to target another person with abuse, regardless of whether the targets are on or off-Twitch – Organizing or participating in hostile raiding – Directly opening a user’s channel on stream and directing personal attacks towards them – JiDion responds to Twitch ban Following the ban for harassment, JiDion posted on Twitter that his “hate for Pokimane” has nothing to do with gender. I’m not like these other YouTubers imma defend myself when someone lies on me!!! My dislike for her has nothing to do with her gender but her as a person, don’t get the two confused!!!! — WiDion (@Jidion6) January 14, 2022 He continued, “Respect all women boys,” and “you have the right to stand up for yourself cause at the end of the day we’re all equal. A number of streamers have come out in support of Pokimane, including Ludwig, Mizkif, and Myth. “Sad how Pokimane still has to deal with misogyny and harassment in 2022,” Mizkif said. “And it’s even more sad how I have to say this publicly because people are afraid to stand up and say she’s being treated poorly because they’ll be called a “simp”.” Ludwig also highlighted that the net outcome for JiDion will be positive, as his “comeback stream” will likely attract a lot of viewers. JiDion is expected to return to streaming on Twitch in two weeks. In the meantime, viewers will be looking out for a YouTube video from him on the situation too.

JiDion hits out at Twitch for unbanning streamer after shooting threat – Dexerto
JiDion hits out at Twitch for unbanning streamer after shooting threat YouTube: JiDionYouTube prankster JiDion has spoken out on Twitch’s decision to unban streamer Narcissawright after she threatened a shooting at the streaming platform’s HQ. In January, Twitch star Pokimane became the target of a sudden hate raid orchestrated by fellow streamer JiDion. The raid saw Pokimane’s social media accounts inundated with abusive comments for some time, and ultimately resulted in JiDion’s permanent ban from the platform. Despite the drama that occurred between them, the two content creators publicly reconciled a few weeks later, making amends in a YouTube video that took the internet by storm. Although JiDion openly apologized to Pokimane and begged those harassing her to stop, he’s still banned from streaming on the purple platform to this day. However, Twitch viewers are raising their eyebrows at another ban on the platform months later — one that didn’t end up being permanent. On March 22, streamer ‘Narcissawright’ received an indefinite ban from the site for showing accidental nudity. In response, she posted a tweet saying she wanted to kill herself and “shoot people at Twitch HQ” due to the ban. Several days afterward, Narcissa revealed that her ban had been reduced to a 22 day suspension due to “the remorse expressed in [her] appeal.” JiDion has now spoken out regarding the matter — but he’s not bitter about his permanent ban. Instead, he wants more consistency from Twitch staff when it comes to enforcing rules. https://twitter.com/narcissawright/status/1508838507246088194?ref_src=twsrctfwtwcamptweetembedtwterm1508838507246088194twgrtwcons1_&ref_url=httpswww.dexerto.comopiniontwitch-unbanning-streamer-after-shooting-threat-could-set-dangerous-precedent-1794076 JiDion criticizes Twitch after Narcissawright unban “I wish Twitch would have an outline of, you know, keeping it the same for everybody,” he said in an interview with Drama Alert. “I feel like there are so many outliers and different cases to where it makes the Terms of Service useless in a sense.” “They’ll follow it for someone, and then they won’t follow it for someone else. If I have the right to be permanently banned, it is what it is. I feel like you have to keep that same status quo for all your users. You can’t be having these special cases that they’re constantly showing.” (Topic begins at 2:22) JiDion went on to explain that he doesn’t believe Twitch has a gender “bias” toward women and reiterated that he’s happy he and Pokimane made up. For now, he’s seeking out a boxing opponent as he orchestrates more wild pranks — like that time he got a courtside haircut at an NBA game.

JiDion gets lifetime Wimbledon ban after trolling during Djokovic v Sinner match – Dexerto
JiDion gets lifetime Wimbledon ban after trolling during Djokovic v Sinner match Sky SportsPopular streamer and influencer Jidon Adams received an unprecedented lifetime ban from Wimbledon due to his antics. JiDion is known around the internet for his wild IRL streams and wacky antics. More often than not, though, this has gotten him in quite a bit of trouble. Most infamous for a “hate raid” of fellow streamer Pokimane that resulted in his permanent ban from Twitch, JiDion is no stranger to being banned from spaces. This isn’t just limited to online bans, either, as JiDion was also physically removed from a furry convention a few months ago for “making people uncomfortable.” Perhaps none of his bans, however, were quite as prominent as his most recent lifetime ban. JiDion gets banned from Wimbledon Recently, JiDion was attending the Wimbledon 2022 quarter-final match between Novak Djokavic and Jannik Sinner. Although Djokovic ended up winning the match in a spectacular comeback, JiDion was clearly pulling for Italian Jannik Sinner. After Sinner won a point, the crowd cheered and the cameras focused on the YouTuber. JiDion was seen pounding his chest before a security officer stepped in to have a chat with him. Read More: Pokimane commends JiDion for “most racist town” YouTube video: “He’d do anything for content” – The cameras cut away, but later that day JiDion let his fans know that he had, in fact, been banned from Wimbledon. On a livestream, JiDion revealed that he wanted to attend Wimbledon as a fan of tennis, but is now “banned for life.” It’s unclear why exactly JiDion was banned from Wimbledon, although the streamer did say it had nothing to do with the air horn he had tried to bring to the match. JiDion has a reputation for pulling stunts like these at professional sports games, as he once went viral for getting his haircut while sitting on the sidelines of an NBA game. It was these types of stunts that attracted the attention of KSI and Logan Paul, who made him the first member of their new organization, Prime Squad.

JiDion goes viral after getting haircut on sidelines of NBA game – Dexerto
JiDion goes viral after getting haircut on sidelines of NBA game YouTube: JiDionJiDion went viral on social media after being spotted getting a haircut on the sidelines of an NBA game between Minnesota Timberwolves and Dallas Mavericks in Minneapolis on March 25. JiDion burst onto the scene in 2022, controversially, after encouraging his Twitch viewers to launch a hate raid on Pokimane, which forced her to end her stream. He was permanently banned for it, too. However, Poki gave him a chance to turn things around by extending an olive branch and collaborating with him. Since then, things have been on the up and up for the YouTuber, and that momentum has continued. Aside from streaming games, Jidion’s content also revolves around making comedic videos like getting haircuts in lecture theatres. This time, though, he took it a step further and got a fresh cut courtside in the middle of an NBA game. Not only did the camera and the commentators avert their attention to him, but it also drew a reaction from some of the players, too. What’s more, it went viral on social media after the official NBA account posted it. JiDion didn’t respond to that tweet. However, he responded to a different post from the Minnesota Timberwolves account about him and seemed delighted with being in the spotlight. “I’m on something 2022,” he said. So, although things looked dire for him in January following all the drama with Poki, public opinion seems to be more favorable towards him now that he’s taken responsibility and made an effort to move on.

JiDion explains why he left PRIME amid Logan Paul feud – Dexerto
JiDion explains why he left PRIME amid Logan Paul feud YouTube: JiDion, IMPAULSIVEPopular streamer JiDion explained why he left the PRIME brand amid his ongoing feud with fellow influencer Logan Paul. YouTuber and streamer JiDion is currently embroiled in a heated feud with Logan Paul as the latter gears up for his upcoming boxing match against Dillon Danis in October. In preparation for their bout, Danis has been antagonizing Paul on X (formerly Twitter), making numerous posts about his opponent’s fiance, Danish model Nina Agdal. Danis has been posting numerous photos of Agdal posing with various male celebrities, seeming to insinuate she has an intimate history with them. This online behavior has riled up other influencers like Corinna Kopf, who also received the same treatment from Danis after protesting his posts. JiDion notably reacted to Danis’s tweets in a viral video that was ultimately taken down. JiDion also showed up to their August 22 press conference, where he got into an argument with Paul backstage — a spat where Paul called JiDion a “two-faced b*tch.” JiDion left Logan Paul’s Prime Squad because he “didn’t feel appreciated” In an August 24 live stream, JiDion claimed that he’d actually left Logan Paul and KSI’s PRIME brand after feeling unappreciated by the two creators, who signed him to their ‘Prime Squad’ back in summer 2022. “Bro, I went this fucking hard for PRIME, where I literally risked maybe getting f*cking sued out my a**hole by Pepsi for sneaking into Gatorade HQ,” he said, referencing a prank video he’d made. “So, for Logan Paul to call me corny, a corny-ass live streamer, was I corny when I made that video for PRIME, Logan? Was that video corny?” “I get sh*t on for joining PRIME. Then, I get sh*t on for moving seats when someone I thought was a friend asked me to move seats. Then, when I retaliate just a little bit because your brother comes at me… nah, f*ck that, bro.” “I didn’t badmouth nobody. I just left. I didn’t feel wanted and I didn’t feel appreciated. I removed myself from the situation in the least drama-filled way possible.” JiDion has made it clear that he empathizes with Logan to an extent regarding his ongoing feud with Danis, but it doesn’t look like things will be simmering down for these two influencers any time soon. For now, Logan has yet to speak on his spat with JiDion — but he has finally addressed Danis’s tweets about his fiance, saying he isn’t “fazed” by Dillon’s taunts.

JiDion explains why he still wants KSI vs Ivan Nikolov fight to happen: “Let KSI beat his a**” – Dexerto
JiDion explains why he still wants KSI vs Ivan Nikolov fight to happen: “Let KSI beat his a**” Instagram: ksi / YouTube: JiDion PremiumYouTube star JiDion still wants KSI to take on Bulgarian boxer Ivan Nikolov after it was discovered the pro fighter had several racist tattoos. Rapper, YouTuber, and budding boxer KSI shocked the internet on August 16 by revealing he was taking two fights in the same night for his highly-anticipated boxing event later this month. Alongside his bout against British rapper ‘Swarmz,’ KSI said he’d also be fighting professional Bulgarian middleweight boxer Ivan Nikolov — but this ambitious dual-matchup wasn’t to last. It wasn’t long before viewers pointed out several racist tattoos adorning Nikolov’s body, one of which read ‘white power’ across the boxer’s stomach in large lettering. Criticism was quick to follow, with netizens decrying KSI’s new opponent and urging the YouTuber to look elsewhere for another rival. Nikolov released a statement amid the backlash, arguing that his tattoos had “absolutely no relevance to an outdated opinion and simply refer to my own belief in my strength and power as an athlete.” However, Nikolov was apparently removed from the event merely a day later, with the boxer appearing to claim that DAZN had chosen to move forward without him. All advertisements for Nikolav have also been removed for the forthcoming fight. Despite the backlash, popular YouTuber JiDion says that he still wants to see KSI fight Nikolov on August 27 — if only to see the Bulgarian boxer get his just deserts. “I look at it like this, chat: Is he racist? Yeah. But me, personally? I think the funniest thing in the world would be seeing a racist get his a** beat. You know what I mean?” the YouTuber said. “I know it’s always like, don’t give these people platforms or anything, and I completely agree with that, chat. But, I don’t know. What do you guys think? I think we should let KSI beat his a**.” For now, it’s unclear if KSI will still go through with his ambitions of taking two fights in a single evening — but he’s got JiDion’s support either way, after the YouTuber became the first creator to sign to KSI and Logan Paul’s PRIME Squad in June.

JiDion gets arrested while streaming, asks police officer to pose for a thumbnail – Dexerto
JiDion gets arrested while streaming, asks police officer to pose for a thumbnail Instagram: jidion_Days after JiDion revealed he was wanted for criminal trespassing in Houston, the social media celeb has now been arrested. Streaming the moment it all went down, he even asked the police officer handcuffing him to pose for a thumbnail. Six days ago YouTube star JiDion shared details on the aftermath of his latest prank video. While filming in Houston, his antics resulted in a warrant being issued for his arrest in the city as a result of criminal trespassing. Now on April 16, the divisive content creator has been tracked down and detained. Having been pulled over while driving through the area, JiDion began streaming on Instagram to document his arrest. “I’m about to go to jail,” he said to more than 25,000 live viewers tuned in. “Can you call Lawyer Mark? I haven’t paid off my warrant yet. It’s f***ing ridiculous because I could have went yesterday but I wanted to make a video for you guys.” Stepping out of the vehicle as requested, the officer on duty reminded JiDion of his “active warrant” in the Harris County region of Texas. “I was just going to give you a warning,” he continued, “but they want to place a hold, so you’re going to have to come with me.” Then being asked to “put [his] phone in [his] pocket,” the officer proceeded to handcuff JiDion before transporting him to the nearest holding facility. However, before the cuffs were locked in, the content creator took the opportunity to well, make some more content. “Is it cool if I get a thumbnail?” JiDion asked, before placing his phone down at the right angle to do just that. While the cuffs were placed around his wrists, he took the time to pose in multiple positions, many with the typical ‘shocked’ YouTube thumbnail reaction, all with the officer and the handcuffs both in frame. “Can you do me a favor?” he asked again, now firmly handcuffed, to which the officer obliged. “Alright chat, I’m going to jail. See you boys later,” JiDion said before ending his Instagram broadcast. At the time of writing, it’s unclear where JiDion is being detained, nor for how long. But given his manager, Mams Taylor, was present during the stream, including when he asked to call their lawyer, there’s little doubt the issue will be rectified shortly. After paying off the undisclosed amount for the arrest warrant, JiDion should once again be a free man and avoid any real jail time. So it’s safe to expect the content creator back online in a matter of hours, but we’ll keep you posted here as any further details emerge.

JiDion promises to “disprove” Tommyinnit harassment claims after TwitchCon ban – Dexerto
JiDion promises to “disprove” Tommyinnit harassment claims after TwitchCon ban Instagram: Jidion, TommyinnitJiDion is denying the claims that he was harassing Tommyinnit fans during a recent meet and greet at TwitchCon, revealing he has a video dropping next week that will “disprove all of this.” In a recent social media post, JiDion has hit back against those who are saying he harassed Tommyinnit fans during the recent TwitchCon 2022 event. His July 21 message typed out on a notes page began by stating how disappointed he is of being accused of this negative behavior. “It really sucks that there is an article and a huge Twitch streamer going around saying I harassed and bullied kids in a meet and greet line,” was how JiDion’s response opened. He then went on to say that the coverage and conversation surrounding the incident is “so far from the truth.” However, JiDion then went on to state he has proof to debunk the notion that he was acting inappropriately at TwitchCon. “Video drops next week and it disproves all of the lies on my name.” He then rounded off his response by calling out those who have encouraged the idea that he was bullying kids. When his videos drops, he assumes those people will still not “apologize”. Lastly, he jokingly stated, “[I’m gonna] try to go the month of August with no drama but it’s getting hard.” TwitchCon Amsterdam is a massive event that took place on July 15 and 16. It brought thousands of people together and was the first time the event has been held in person since 2019. On his July 19 stream, Tommyinnit was discussing the incident that took place during his TwitchCon meet and greet in which his fans were reportedly being harassed by fellow content creator JiDion. As a result, JiDion has know been banned from the event. “During my Meet and Greet, this f*cking troll creator shoved into the line and started being a d*ck to you lot. Being super rude, and just a f*king prick,” he said. This is not the first ban for JiDion or the first time he has been accused of harassment. In January 2022, he was given a perma ban on Twitch for encouraging a hate raid of popular Pokimane. For those interested in how this continues to play out, we’ll be sure to update you when JiDion does upload his response video.

JiDion escorted out of furry convention after being accused of “making people uncomfortable” – Dexerto
JiDion escorted out of furry convention after being accused of “making people uncomfortable” YouTube: JiDionJiDion had his registration for Furry Weekend Atlanta cancelled and was escorted out of the building by security after attending the 2022 convention. Jidion ‘JiDion’ Adams’ turnaround as a content creator after the hate-raids directed at Pokimane has led the content creator into an explorative series of blogs focusing on various communities. JiDion’s most recent video had him attending Furry Weekend Atlanta 2022, engaging with the participants, getting himself into a racoon mask, and causing the smallest ruckus before being removed. Being asked to tone down his vlogging during the event, an organiser named ‘Mustang’ stepped up to JiDion with a request to stop filming as “people are uncomfortable.” Shortly after the first interaction with Mustang, the organiser returned to inform JiDion and his crew: “You guys are gone. Your registration for Furry Weekend has been cancelled. I’m handing you to hotel security.” Though the video features JiDion starting conversations with other attendees, there’s limited amounts to go off as to what specifically got the YouTuber removed from the event. Looking into the policies of Furry Weekend Atlanta, there’s a specific section detailing the rules surrounding vlogging. “Video blogging, sometimes referred to as vlogs, of snippets or your entire experience at Furry Weekend Atlanta for personal use are allowed. However, some of this content can be very disruptive to other attendees, and large productions are not allowed,” the policy reads. “In other words, if you are using multiple devices and/or people to record audio, video, and photographs, you are crossing into territory that falls under our Press and Media Activities Policies.” Read More: Pokimane commends JiDion for ‘most racist town’ YouTube video: “He’d do anything for content” – With the initial switch to iPhone and the nature of JiDion’s direct interview style, the breaking of the above policy may have been what caused his removal from the event. Though JiDion was left perplexed on the outside of the show floor, claiming “I don’t know why I got kicked out.” There’s also potential that an irate man locked in a staircase for 15 minutes made a complaint about JiDion after accusing the YouTuber of taking photos of him before declaring: “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I’m a little stressed out” As the video only tells JiDion’s side of the story, it’s also entirely possible that there was another large-scale disruption that caused the ejection. But in a tweet about the removal on May 7, the YouTuber refused to elaborate. Should further details about why he was removed emerge, we’ll be sure to update this piece.

JiDion ‘deletes Twitter account’ after MrBeast ‘ratios’ him in under 10 minutes – Dexerto
JiDion ‘deletes Twitter account’ after MrBeast ‘ratios’ him in under 10 minutes Instagram: MrBeast / YouTube: JiDionPremiumYouTube star JiDion pledged to delete his Twitter account if anyone on the platform could ‘ratio’ him. In just a matter of minutes, MrBeast accomplished the task, forcing JiDion’s hand, though he didn’t quite live up to his promise. Everyone loves a good ratio on Twitter. Well, everyone except JiDion in this instance. Confident enough in his following to believe “no one” could pile up more likes than him, the YouTuber issued a challenge on August 30. “If someone ratios me, I’ll delete my Twitter,” he posted. While the original tweet itself quickly exploded with tens of thousands coming to support him, MrBeast soon took the lead. “Easy,” he replied just moments later. “I’ll give someone that likes this tweet $10,000.” In just a few quick minutes, MrBeast had more than doubled JiDion’s like-count on Twitter. Seemingly facing the music, JiDion followed up to confirm he’d be “deleting Twitter on tonight’s stream because of this monster.” Though even after agreeing to the terms, he had other plans in mind once thousands were tuned in live. “You see these tears? They’re all caused by MrBeast,” he joked at the start of his YouTube broadcast. Playing up the situation, he swore to “never watch a MrBeast video ever again” due to the overwhelming ratio. Going through the steps and seemingly preparing to deactivate his account, it appeared for a moment that JiDion was serious. His Twitter account with over half a million followers looked to be on the verge of deletion, but in typical JiDion fashion, it proved to be nothing more than one big bait. After deactivating an account on stream for all to see, the deed had been done. But as he soon revealed, it wasn’t the main ‘Jidion6’ Twitter account he’d erased. “I said I’d delete my Twitter. I didn’t say which one.” So when all was said and done, JiDion technically held up his end of the bargain, just not how anyone expected. At the time of writing, it remains to be seen who won the $10,000 reward from MrBeast. We’ll be sure to update you here if the stakes are raised in light of JiDion’s bait.

JiDion deletes all of his prank content: “I failed this generation horribly” – Dexerto
JiDion deletes all of his prank content: “I failed this generation horribly” YouTube: JiDion LiveJiDion has completely purged his YouTube channels of all prank content. In a recent video, he explained why. JiDion is one of the most famous streamers and content creators on the internet. He gained a massive following for his many prank videos, one of which got him banned from all NBA-related events. Earlier this year on September 22, JiDion decided to make a change and declared to his audience, “I’m turning my life to Christ” in a YouTube video that has since garnered 1.3 million views. At the time, his fans were concerned that he would stop making content. Their worst fears have been realized, and then some. JiDion has deleted nearly all of the content from his multiple YouTube channels. He has since uploaded a video titled ‘Why I Deleted All My Videos…’ to explain the decision. Why did JiDion delete all his prank videos? In the video, the former prankster elaborated that he could not reconcile the nature of his older content with his newfound faith. “If I’m gonna truly give my life over to god, I gotta also take out the wickedness that I put into the world,” JiDion told his audience. Throughout the video, Jidion referenced scripture that likened pranks and practical jokes to acts of evil. “As an influencer, I failed this generation horribly,” he admitted. “I did not contribute for the positive, I contributed for the negative.” “I can’t be the way I was anymore, and I won’t ever be the way I was anymore,” he explained to his fans. “So, if you won’t cut me off, I need to cut myself off from you.” Finally, he revealed the reason that he took down all but two of his videos was because he was concerned that his prank content would serve as a distraction from God. “To answer the question ‘Why did JiDion delete all his content?’ I deleted it because of you. Because I love you guys that much.” JiDion has not retired from the creation of content entirely. He recently told Twitch if they unbanned him, he would “spread the message of Jesus” on the platform. He advised his YouTube followers that he would continue publishing content to that platform but on a new channel called GiDeon “where it’s only Christian content”.

JiDion confronts Mizzy over his pranks and asks about the future of his content – Dexerto
JiDion confronts Mizzy over his pranks and asks about the future of his content YouTube: JiDionPremiumContent creator Mizzy, who rose to fame after a series of controversial pranks, has been confronted by JiDion via a video chat during a live stream. TikTok prankster Mizzy has gotten in trouble with UK law after pranks that involved entering people’s homes, stealing dogs, and even hijacking a train. Mizzy then went on a series of interviews, promoting his all-new Twitch channel trying to profit off his infamy. However, Mizzy seemingly is sorry for his hijinks, his latest post on Twitter is an apology regarding the pranks. And now during a video interview between JiDion, Mizzy, and Sneako, the prankster continues to apologize for his recent behavior and claim its all part of an internet persona he created to go viral on social media. JiDion asks Mizzy about his plans for the future In his interview, JiDion asked Mizzy what content he plans to upload to the internet in the future and the prankster replied that he wants to “flip the whole script” and start working on bettering his perception of the general public. Both Sneako and JiDion reassured Mizzy that being outgoing, extraverted, and doing crazy stuff as a content creator is not wrong, but that can be done without “committing crimes” as Sneako has put it. JiDion also commented: “The stuff you do can get you killed.” “What’s gonna happen when one of your fans comes and says ‘I wanna be the next Mizzy so I imma beat the f**k outta you to get clout of that’, you know,” asked JiDion, clearly disapproving of the behavior Mizzy is inspiring online. Mizzy assured the streamers that he has a plan going forward with his internet career, and that he is not going to go back to doing harmful pranks. Time will tell if Mizzy makes good on this promise, but so far he abstained from doing any more of the pranks that got him internet famous and said he is sorry in multiple interviews.

Jidion continues Logan Paul beef with bet on Dillon Danis to repay CryptoZoo victims – Dexerto
Jidion continues Logan Paul beef with bet on Dillon Danis to repay CryptoZoo victims YouTube: JiDion/Boxing SocialJiDion has revealed that he’s putting $100k on Dillon Danis to defeat Logan Paul and will look to pay people affected by the CryptoZoo collapse as he continued ragging on Logan after they clashed backstage at the Prime Card press conference. There is still over six weeks to go before the Prime Card which features KSI vs Tommy Fury and Logan Paul vs Dillon Danis actually takes place, but there has been a raft of daily trash talk from all sides. While KSI and Tommy have gone back and forth on their skills, the clashes between Logan and Dillon have been much more personal. Danis has targeted Logan’s fiance, Nina Agdal, and her previous relationships. That also continued into the first press conference for the event, as the former UFC fighter wore a Toy Story beanie hat that was the same as the one Logan wore in his infamous Japanese forest video. Aside from that, though, Logan also clashed with JiDion after the press conference had concluded. The ImPaulsive host called the YouTube “two-faced” as they traded verbal blows over Logan’s relationship with his brother Jake. JiDion betting $100k on Dillon Danis to beat Logan Paul Well, once that confrontation was over, JiDion didn’t let it lie and stated that he is betting big on Danis to beat Logan come October 14. “So you’re going to defend your brother, but why don’t you defend your brother against KSI since it’s all business?” he said in an Instagram live after the press conference. “Since it’s all business, you have business to take care of, you gotta pay those people back at CryptoZoo, my man. So this is what it is: Dillon Danis, I got $100k on you my boy. I’m betting 100k on you. If Dillon Danis wins, I’m going to give all my earnings to the CryptoZoo losers.” If you’re unfamiliar with the CryptoZoo controversy, it was an NFT project started by Logan back in 2021 where people would be able to “breed, collect, and trade” hybrid animals as NFTs. It went belly up a short while after, with Logan being hit with a class-action lawsuit. He had promised to refund investors for around $1.8 million, but that has yet to have happened. However, the best pre-fight odds on Danis come in at 5/1, meaning JiDion would only win a third of what is due to be refunded to investors – $600,000. So, hopefully, he finds some better odds.

JiDion claims social security number and driver’s license were exposed by hackers – Dexerto
JiDion claims social security number and driver’s license were exposed by hackers YouTube: JiDionPremiumYouTube star JiDion claims his social security number and driver’s license were exposed by hackers who took over control of his cell phone. JiDion is currently in the middle of broadcasting his prank war with fellow creator Niko Omilana in their YouTube series ‘The Biggest Menace‘ — but their project was interrupted by the schemes of a hacker. On April 17, JiDion uploaded a YouTube video telling a harrowing story about how his personal information was leaked online by a hacker who took control of his social media accounts and his personal smartphone. The YouTuber was in Uvalde, Texas when he was informed that his Twitter account appeared to have been compromised. The hacker posted JiDion’s social security number and driver’s license to the profile… but that was far from the end of their malicious escapades. JiDion’s personal information leaked by hackers The hacker even took over JiDion’s secondary Instagram account, where they posted explicit content on top of the YouTuber’s personal information before going on to ‘SIM swap’ his phone and taking control of the device. This prompted JiDion to visit a store from his cell provider. While there, he was met by two fans, who promised they wouldn’t leak his location… but they seem to have lied, as “a hundred” or so fans showed up to the store while JiDion was trying to sort out the hacking situation. Law enforcement got involved shortly thereafter and gave him a ride to the local police station. There, JiDion filed a police report against the hacker, and now claims he’s working with authorities to take legal action against them. However, JiDion claims that he’s not the only victim of this hacker’s schemes. He says that the hacker is “going after other creators,” and warned viewers to make sure two-factor authentication is enabled on their phones to help avoid becoming a victim of identity theft and fraud. The YouTuber also stated that his lawyer advised him to create a video about the ordeal that will go up on his main channel sometime in the future. This latest news follows JiDion’s arrest during a live stream on April 16 after a warrant went out for his arrest for “criminal trespassing.”

JiDion confronts EDP445 in public years after “cupcake incident” – Dexerto
JiDion confronts EDP445 in public years after “cupcake incident” JiDionIt’s been over two years since EDP445 was caught up in controversy due to a sting operation set up by other YouTubers, one meant to catch him in the act of being predatory toward minors. Now, JiDion has finally met him in public and confronted the now-banned YouTuber. EDP445 was a massive YouTuber at one point, one who had over 2 million subscribers and managed to find success on the platform by posting videos that showcased his explosive personality and crude sense of humor. However, that all came crashing down after a group of YouTubers calling themselves the Predator Poachers allegedly caught him in the act of trying to meet up with a 13-year-old girl. His excuse was that he was just going out to buy a cupcake, thus this event being well-known as the “cupcake incident”. Now, more than two years later, JiDion has finally tracked EDP445 down and confronted him about those events, with the full video on the topic promising to shed light on his activities since he was banned from YouTube. JiDion finds and confronts EDP445 EDP445 hasn’t dropped completely off the face of the internet since he was banned from YouTube. He’s tried to build a new following on other platforms since but has been banned from many of them as a result of the backlash against him. However, he still walks free. No legal action has been taken against the YouTuber, and nothing has been proven in a court of law that points to him being predatory toward children. Regardless, the original sting operation is evidence enough for many and people have been trying to track him down to publicly confront him for years. And, though it took a while, JiDion finally managed to find him. When asked about the events that transpired two years ago, EDP responded “Kiss my ***” and turned toward JiDion, who didn’t have any words of sympathy for him. JiDion also went live for a little over a minute to brag about catching EDP and finally getting an interview from him, directly calling out those who didn’t think he’d be able to track the former YouTuber down. JiDion has yet to release the full video giving more detail about the situation and circumstances in which he found EDP.

JiDion checks Kick out during YouTube stream and instantly regrets it – Dexerto
JiDion checks Kick out during YouTube stream and instantly regrets it YouTube/JiDionYouTube star JiDion was left panicking after visiting Kick during a recent live stream and instantly risked being banned because of the site’s sexual content. Kick has emerged as a true competitor to Twitch with many top streamers jumping ship due to its generous 95/5 subscriber splits earning creators a ton more money than other platforms. Although Kick certainly has its pros, there are definitely some cons, such as the amount of sexual content on the site with Heelmike even streaming himself receiving oral sex, only to get just a one-day ban. During a March 12 broadcast, JiDion checked out Kick and was forced to end his stream immediately after seeing sexual content that could earn him a YouTube ban. JiDion slams Kick after seeing sexual content on front page JiDion was baffled by what he saw and took to social media to vent right away while his stream was still active. “I just went on KICK to see what it was about me and my chat saw two girls going crazy,” he explained. “Now I have to end my fucking stream! This is gonna be the Twitch killer, yea good luck with that Adin and Train.” Following that, the streamer called up Adin Ross, who signed a huge contract to stream exclusively on Kick and looked to discuss the site with him and Trainwreck. “I’m on my own with my chat, just trying to find a girl to play Fortnite with and I just see two girls going crazy,” he said. Although Aidin claimed that Trainwreck was trying to shut down the sexual content on the site, JiDion was able to get the Kick star to agree to stream his discussion with Trainwreck. It’s not clear what will come of the meeting between the streaming powerhouses or if JiDion will end up being banned on YouTube for the Kick content. Back in 2022, he was permanently banned on Twitch after sending a hate wave to Imane ‘Pokimane’ Anys. Perhaps, we’ll even see JiDion make his way to Kick to stream in the not-so-distant future.

JiDion claims he was arrested by French police and spent night in jail – Dexerto
JiDion claims he was arrested by French police and spent night in jail TikTok/JidionPopular YouTuber JiDion says he spent a night in a Paris jail after French police arrested him. JiDion has been touring the world recently going to TwitchCon, getting banned from Wimbledon and most recently, he’s apparently even been arrested in Paris. On August 10, the YouTuber star posted a TikTok of himself in front of the Eifel Tower in Paris, indicating that he had made his way to the French capital. However, for reasons that are not yet known, he seems to have found himself in more trouble. “Just spent the night in a Paris jail so banger soon,” he said on social media with a French flag and smiley face emoji. In a follow-up tweet, the banned Twitch streamer posted a photo of numerous police officers huddled together with the caption, “Guess who went to jail that night.” So far, JiDion has not explained what happened to result in him being arrested and jailed, but luckily, it seems like he was released one day later. If history is any indication, JiDion should have one hell of a YouTube video lined up explaining the situation and his fans are certainly waiting with bated breath for it to be uploaded and to find out exactly what is going on. JiDion hasn’t said when the video will be going live, but when it does, we’ll be sure to update this story with all the details.

JiDion calls out Twitch two years after his ban: “I will spread the message of Jesus” – Dexerto
JiDion calls out Twitch two years after his ban: “I will spread the message of Jesus” YouTube/JiDionStreaming star JiDion called out Twitch after attempting to appeal his ban from early 2022, saying the platform is preventing him from “spreading the message of Jesus Christ.” JiDion is one of the net’s most famous streamers. He’s best known for his over-the-top pranks, which include everything from getting his hair cut at sporting events to hitting on a random college professor on Valentine’s Day. At first, JiDion had a prominent presence on Twitch — but he was infamously banned from the platform in early 2022 after orchestrating a “hate raid” against fellow streamer Pokimane, causing her to tearfully end her broadcast as offensive comments poured into her chat. Although she and JiDion have since made up and appear to be thick as thieves, Twitch has maintained its stance on JiDion’s ban. However, following news that Twitch is giving permabanned streamers a second chance, it looks like JiDion has once again appealed his suspension. JiDion slams Twitch after permaban appeal is rejected again On November 14, JiDion posted a screenshot of his ban appeal to Twitter/X. In the email he allegedly received from Twitch, the platform said that he had been “recently suspended for Extreme Harassment.” “After reviewing the details of your case, we have decided that your account will remain suspended due to your violation of our Community Guidelines,” the email reads. JiDion lashed out at the platform in response to their decision. “Two years and still the same results, I will spread the message of JESUS CHRIST on your platform as soon as I’m reinstated!” he wrote. “Someone needs to promote Godliness on a Godless platform like yours!!!” Recently, JiDion has been advocating for Christianity on his social media platforms. Back on September 25, the streamer claimed he was “turning his life to Christ,” and his subsequent streams have been focused on religious content ever since then. This isn’t the first time JiDion has appealed his infamous Twitch ban. In May 2023, the streamer appealed the decision 475 days after his suspension and was given the same response as his most recent email from the platform.

JiDion calls Twitch “racist” for permaban as streamer gets 7-day ban for sexual content – Dexerto
JiDion calls Twitch “racist” for permaban as streamer gets 7-day ban for sexual content JiDionStreamer and YouTuber JiDion callled Twitch “racist” after the platform only banned a streamer for seven days after streaming sexual content, pointing to his permanent ban for what he sees as a far lesser offense. 2022 has been a tumultuous year for professional DeMarcus Cousins stan JiDion. In mid-January, he received a permaban from Twitch after sending a hate raid towards fellow streamer Pokimane’s channel. Despite his continued efforts since then to be unbanned on the platform, and even collaborating with Pokimane to squash the beef, he’s still banned on the platform with no hope of a return in sight. Now, the 21-year-old has slammed Twitch as both racist and sexist. JiDion slams Twitch as “racist” and “sexist” On August 25, Twitch streamer kimmikka was banned for one week after broadcasting a sexual act on her channel. While the clip of the stream went viral overnight, JiDion was less than pleased at the punishment of one week while he sits in permanent Twitch purgatory. He said, “A girl gets f**ked on stream, seven-day ban while I’m still here permabanned, Twitch is racist!” JiDion then tweeted out the hashtag “TwitchIsSexist” and added, “Now we have them in 4K, I hope they try and ignore this one.” Although his post was liked by over 150k Twitter users, his permaban on Twitch is still in place and unlikely to be overturned. JiDion hopes that Twitch sees that he’s made amends with Pokimane over the hate raid incident and can be reinstated on the platform, although YouTube remains his primary location for content. He has also called out YouTube in recent days, alleging that they have shown favoritism toward white creators, such as when Ludwig spoke to the CEO of YouTube.

JiDion brutally fires back at Jake Paul after he calls him a “fanboy” – Dexerto
JiDion brutally fires back at Jake Paul after he calls him a “fanboy” JiDion has fired shots back at Jake Paul after he mocked and called the YouTube prankster a “fanboy” of his brother Logan. Recording a video, Jake Paul pretended to interview his older brother Logan, who kindly asked him to move to the left a little. Instantly, Jake hit back, firing shots at fellow YouTuber JiDion — referencing Logan’s recent encounter with prankster at UFC 287, where he asked him to switch seats so he could avoid being on camera. “I’m not f**king JiDion b*tch,” said Jake. “Do I look like f**king JiDion? I’m your own f**king brother, I’m not a fanboy like JiDion who’s like ‘oh yes Logan, oh yes’. “I’m your own f**king brother bro, we can go toe to f**king toe.” Reacting to the video on stream, JiDion snapped back at Jake — putting the YouTuber-turned-boxer on blast for not having the same energy when his brother allegedly had sex with his girlfriend. “Oh, okay Jake, you can go toe-to-toe with your brother, alright? So Jake, why didn’t you keep the same energy when he f**ked your girlfriend while you were still dating her?” he said. “I’m puzzled, I’m dumbfounded, I’m searching for the answers, I wish I could go back in history to ask all the old historians about this question.” JiDion continued: “Why didn’t you do anything about it when Logan f**ked your girlfriend? You did nothing about it! You cried to Shane Dawson. But when it’s about Alissa we’re not going toe-to-toe you know?” The prankster then began mocking Jake in the same way ‘The Problem Child’ did to him: “Oh, Logan, Logan you can have my girl Logan it’s okay, your sh*ts bigger than mine Logan, you’re big bro, you’re the alpha, you’re the omega Logan.” While there’s no animosity between JiDion and Logan, it’s clear that there’s going to be some bad blood with the younger Paul brother.

JiDion calls out Joe Weller for a boxing match on KSI’s next undercard Streamer and YouTuber JiDion is eyeing up a fight with Joe Weller on the undercard of KSI’s next fight.

As long as I get to fuck up @dillondanis https://t.co/TnX3DNybu0 — Logan Paul (@LoganPaul) August 28, 2022 Weller is still yet to respond to the call out. However, JiDion already tweeted that he’ll see his fans in January, so the ball could already be rolling to get a fight setup between the two. The first and last time we saw Joe Weller putting on the gloves was February 2018 where he faced KSI in the first-ever influencer boxing event. It’ll be almost five years since the YouTube boxing pioneer has stepped in the ring if the fight goes ahead.

JiDion banned from Target after security hears disturbing text-to-speech donation – Dexerto
JiDion banned from Target after security hears disturbing text-to-speech donation YouTube/JiDionPopular streamer JiDion was banned from Target after one of his viewers sent a very concerning text-to-speech joke. JiDion has become one of the biggest streamers on the planet despite being permanently banned on Twitch. The 22-year-old’s wild prank content has earned him millions of followers across Rumble, TikTok, and YouTube. However, his content has caused some problems for the streamer in the past. Infamously, he was banned from all NBA events after sleeping at a WNBA game and even arrested for criminal trespassing. In a new video, JiDion went to Target and while he spent a lot of time chilling with fans, he couldn’t help but prank a few customers, leading to security kicking him out, but not before a wildly inappropriate text-to-speech donation. JiDion’s Target prank backfires after text-to-speech joke goes too far During the trip, JiDion tried to convert a shopper to Mormonism and when she refused, he asked if she would like her very own planet. “I call dibs on Uranus,” he joked “That’s rude,” she retorted and left to alert Target staff. (segments begin at 6:17 and 8:45) A few moments later, JiDion tried to explain the situation to security, reiterating his belief that Mormons get their own planet – a misconception that originated with South Park creators’ Broadway show ‘The Book of Mormon.’ The security wasn’t buying it, and as JiDion was being kicked out, a text-to-speech donation played pleading with him not to “shoot up” the store. In an instant, JiDion hightailed it, aware that things could have gone from bad to a lot worse now that his viewers had taken things to the extreme. In the video title, JiDion claimed that the text-to-speech donation had gotten him banned from the store, but it’s not clear if the ban applies to every Target or just that location. In any case, the bans seem to just keep piling up for the young content creator.

JiDion breaks down in tears after claiming he “sold out” to advertisers – Dexerto
JiDion breaks down in tears after claiming he “sold out” to advertisers YouTube: JiDionPopular YouTuber JiDion sent out an emotional apology to his fans as he admitted he had “sold out” to advertisers. JidIon‘s popularity has skyrocketed in recent times. Although he already had a strong following, it was his drama with popular Twitch streamer Pokimane and his subsequent permanent ban from the Amazon-owned platform when things really kicked off. Since then, the YouTube star has gone viral with his controversial antics across the world including when he stormed TommyInnit’s TwitchCon EU 2022 appearance and when he was kicked out of the US Open Grand Slam tournament. However, in an unusual spin, fans saw a more tearful side to JiDion during his stream on September 10 in which he opened up about the pressures of creating content for advertisers. JiDion vows to make more content for fans than ads Speaking to his fans, JiDion issued an apology to fans claiming that he had “sold out” to advertisers. As a result, he hasn’t spent enough time on creating content for them. “Bro, I am so f**king stressed,” he claimed. “I sold out, man. Like I’m valuing money and I’m taking the easy route over things. It’s sad because I only just recently realized that I sold out. I feel like that’s the saddest part about it.” He added that the drama with Pokimane unexpectedly helped him explode in popularity in a way he never was expecting and that he supposedly wasn’t ready for. According to the YouTuber, who has 1.85 million subscribers on the platform as of writing, explained that he recently was commissioned to create an ad for the NFL. However, despite working hard on it, the sport organization supposedly urged him to make it “more upbeat.” The comment sparked him to think how he was “selling out” on his fanbase who he loves so much in order to fit in among the “top dogs.” As a result, he vowed to “go back to the basics” and focus more on his followers. Although fans were worried about him, JiDion claimed that speaking up about his thoughts to his fans was helping him out enormously.

JGhosty responds to NEACE’s bizarre criticism of Ninja during Fortnite Winter Royale – Dexerto
JGhosty responds to NEACE’s bizarre criticism of Ninja during Fortnite Winter Royale NEACE / TwitterYouTuber and streamer ‘NEACE’ has hit out at Ninja, upset by his muted reaction to NEACE’s performance in the Fortnite Winter Royale, prompting a response from Ninja’s wife and manager, Jessica ‘JGhosty’ Blevins. NEACE first tweeted his anger about a clip from Ninja’s stream, in which the popular streamer is shown to not congratulate NEACE for a kill, despite claiming to be close friends for many years. On December 12, NEACE tweeted: “Known @Ninja for 5+yrs. […] He got famous, he can’t even be happy for me” continuing “he can’t even say a kind word to me after all the work I’ve put in at this game. $ changed our relationship.” Known @Ninja for 5+yrs. He knows my channel is near death switching LoL to Fortnite, as he banks millions from the same game. I called him anytime he did something amazing to personally congratulate him. He got famous, he can’t even be happy for me. (1/2)https://t.co/m17fF3D1xn— NEACE (@NEACETWEETS) December 12, 2018 (2/2) @Ninja , a phenomenal streamer & competitor but as a friend he has been one of the most disappointing people I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. Just fuming mad and can’t even say a kind word to me after all the work I’ve put in at this game. $ changed our relationship. — NEACE (@NEACETWEETS) December 12, 2018 NEACE also went on to say in other tweets: “imagine your friend who you’ve known since Halo joins up on your game and makes it into the finals of a tournament and you are literally 10000x more famous and wealthy, you’d ignore your friends twitter/phone and not even appear happy for him?” Ninja did not respond publicly to NEACE’s grievances, however on December 14, JGhosty did respond, and posted a damning running of how the relationship between NEACE, Ninja and herself had deteriorated. Tyler sat there and decided to not air dirty laundry or tarnish your name during a great moment for you. But now you’re going to go on Twitter and tell one BS side to a story? You have been a backstabbing friend and Tyler has NO obligation to stroke your ego on stream. — Jess Blevins (@JGhosty) December 15, 2018 Another popular Fortnite streamer, KingRichard, also responded to NEACE, saying “As a grown man you should know that no man owes you anything it’s your job as a man to make a way. Counting another mans pockets and expecting a portion is sad.” On December 15, NEACE attempted to clarify his position following JGhosty’s response and what he calls “a lot of impressionable children that will only see me as wrong no matter what.” In light of @JGhosty tweets I realize there r a lot of impressionable children that will only see me as wrong no matter what I say here. I wont leak msgs to be right here. That’d be wrong.I was hurt when I wrote that stuff about @ninja but it’s wrong for it to be here. (1/2) — NEACE (@NEACETWEETS) December 15, 2018 I was hurt when I looked to see how @Ninja reacted to my good run. Watched & realized we really werent really friends anymore and it hurt. I responded honestly. I know where I am at in your mind and how @JGhosty views me even after all those late night chats. (2/2)Goodluck. — NEACE (@NEACETWEETS) December 15, 2018 Perhaps wanting to draw any further attention to the situation, Ninja himself has not responded publicly to NEACE’s frustrations. Ninja’s reaction was certainly muted, but he doesn’t say anything directly negative about NEACE, likely more concerned with the powerful ‘Infinity Blade’, which many feel ruined the NA side of the Winter Royale tournament.

JiDion accused of storming TommyInnit event at TwitchCon and “harassing” fans – Dexerto
JiDion accused of storming TommyInnit event at TwitchCon and “harassing” fans YouTube: JiDion, TommyInnitBanned Twitch streamer JiDion allegedly disrupted Tommyinnit’s meet and greet event at TwitchCon. Before JiDion was ejected from TwitchCon EU completely, the banned streamer reportedly was spotted at TommyInnit’s meet and greet event. While fans of the Minecraft content creator waited to get a moment the YouTube’s time, JiDion was allegedly spotted displaying antagonistic behavior towards those waiting in line. Tommyinnit fans claim JiDion was “harassing people” According to reports from attendees of TwitchCon EU, JiDion was making fans of Tommyinnit uncomfortable for a considerable amount of time before facing any action. Twitter user @cgoldenboyz said JiDion was “harassing people and being a freak in Tommy’s meet and greet line.” The Tweeter noted that JiDion is “literally banned on Twitch and they still wouldn’t reprimand him.” “He also made weird comments about how everyone in the line was girls and ‘good for Tommy,” they added. Concerned Tommyinnit fans shared their worries too, with one commenter saying: “I’m scared for younger fans.” Defenders of JiDion spoke up too, claiming that the creator’s actions were “all satire” because “he makes videos of him being a dumba**” as a “character.” However, Twitter user @restingmoss disputed this by responding “being pestered by a man most likely 5+ years older than them” was disrespectful. Though it took some time to confirm JiDion’s appearance among attendees, others later corroborated his actions as the former Twitch streamer capture his antics via Instagram Live. In the video, JiDion clarified “they already took my badge and everything, its all good though, we got in and got a banger video.” The ex-Twitch streamer explained that the footage would be uploaded in the next “three weeks.” Before he was removed from TwitchCon EU, the creator was also seen interacting with the likes of Hasan too.

Jesus cosplayer becomes fan favorite at music festival – Dexerto
Jesus cosplayer becomes fan favorite at music festival TiktokFans at this music festival cheered and screamed as they noticed someone cosplaying Jesus in the crowd. Concerts are always full of fans clad in the apparel of their favorite bands and others in costume to pay homage to the band. But one fan at the Download festival became a fan favorite. The cosplayer was running around in the mosh pit dressed up as Jesus, which instantly caught the attention of other concert-goers. Now, a video of the Messiah in the mosh pit is going viral. Jesus Cosplayer is loved by festivalgoers The original video was posted by @lilyskelly on TikTok and has almost 900 likes and over 7000 views as of the time of this writing. The man dressed as Jesus can be seen in the video running in circles in the pit, throwing his hands all around in the air. Once someone spotted him, the screams of “I love you Jesus!” and “JESUS” can be heard coming from all around the festival. The reaction to seeing the man dressed as Jesus Christ is expected but still quite comical to those who watched the video. One commenter said, “this deserves more likes moshpit jesus is a legend.” Apparently, there were even more sightings of “Jesus” at the festival, as someone commented, “We saw Jesus crowd surfing.” The people in the crowd seemed absolutely thrilled that the man decided to dress up this way, and the comments make it clear this is deemed a wholesome encounter. One saying, “This is the kinda Jesus I’ll love.” Sightings of “Jesus” seem to be appearing everywhere, such as the AI Jesus that has surfaced all over Twitch who answers chatters’ questions about games such as Fortnite and even how to use AI to develop video games. This video of someone cosplaying as the Lord and Savior is just another to add to the list.

He boasts an upgraded alternative to his plant-based weaponry. This is the first time the flying-type has received an evolution in the series’ history. Sirfetch’d sports a spear and shield to match its proud, knowing expression, with many in the game’s community memeing about the Pokémon’s seemingly chivalrous personality in comparison to its original evolution. These memes did not go unnoticed by Nigri, who claimed that they had even inspired her to cosplay the creature, later posting a sneak peek of an amor build on September 29.

Jessica Nigri inspires hilarious photoshop contest with new cosplay Popular cosplayer Jessica Nigri is known for her cosplay interpretations of characters from anime and video games – but one of her costumes is garnering attention for an entirely different reason. Nigri uploaded a new photo set on March 12, which included a hilarious picture of herself posing in the classic ‘hairball’ position that cats generally take before barfing up a wad of their own fur. While Nigri was dressed in a “cat girl” ensemble, her humorous take on the cosplay inspired fans to create a series of photoshops that placed her in a variety of wacky situations.

Jessica Nigri takes over the Night’s Watch in risque Game of Thrones cosplay – Dexerto
Jessica Nigri takes over the Night’s Watch in risque Game of Thrones cosplay Popular cosplayer Jessica Nigri released an incredible collage of her new Game of Thrones outfit in time for Season 8’s release complete with a canine companion. With the premiere for Game of Thrones’ final season airing on April 15, cosplayers have been going wild with their interpretations for the series’ more popular characters but none have been as stunning as Nigri’s take. Nigri is definitely one of, if not the most, popular cosplayer in the scene and every one of her new releases generate a ton of attention for her more risque takes of iconic franchises. New Lord Commander of the Watch Nigri posted her take on a genderbent Jon Snow on Twitter with a simple caption saying: “The North Remembers…” The cosplayer chose an all leather design for her gloves, boots as well as tunic, while fashioning Snow’s scar fixed above and below her left eye. Even though fans might not think her outfit will keep her warm on the Wall, she’s come ready for anything thrown her way with the help of a familiar sword and canine. The North Remembers … Photos: @MartinWongPhoto @GameOfThrones pic.twitter.com/VnPhUT6fHB — JESSICA NIGRI (@OJessicaNigri) April 16, 2019 Nigri’s cosplay goes down to the last detail Featured in the images are Jon Snow’s trusty sword, Longclaw, and an actual wolf taking the place of Snow’s albino direwolf, Ghost. Always one to go above and beyond for her cosplays, Nigri enlisted the help of the organization Project Wild Song to acquire safe close encounters with the majestic wolf prominently featured in her shots. The two are seen in a few different pictures that show them keeping an ever vigilant watch ahead to them sharing an intimate moment. It looks like Nigri’s group even color corrected the wolf’s eyes a bit to more closely resemble Ghost’s red eyes for better accuracy. Hopefully we’ll get to see more top-tier cosplays like this as Game of Thrones’ last season unfolds with inevitable twists and surprises.

It’s been four long years since Jessia Jung (known synonymously as simply Jessica) last released music. “Call Me Before You Sleep,” which featured dual Korean/Japanese versions with GIRIBOY and CrazyBoy, showed great promise for the burgeoning young talent. In 2020, Jessica dropped her debut novel, Shine, which became a Top 5 New York Times best-seller. She later issued a follow-up titled Bright in early 2022. She also appeared on two reality TV shows, Sisters Who Make Waves and Great Dance Crew. Now, Jessica makes her triumphant return to music with a six-track EP, as well as an accompanying music video.

Jessica Nigri finally debuts risque Sonic the Hedgehog cosplay – Dexerto
Jessica Nigri finally debuts risque Sonic the Hedgehog cosplay Jessica Nigri Instagram / Paramount PicturesPopular cosplayer Jessica Nigri unveiled a complete look at her new Sonic the Hedgehog outfit that gives the Speed Demon a risque twist, which looks way better than anything Paramount Pictures has put out so far. Nigri is undoubtedly one of the cosplaying scene’s more recognizable personalities. The cosplayer not only creates some of the most inventive twists to characters from anime, games and more, but her humorous candor to her designs typically resonates with fans. With people still apprehensive about how the major motion picture will turn out, fans have been anticipating her cosplay for a bit seeing as she teased a “stupid sexy Sonic with exaggerated people teeth” in response to the memes now i gotta make a stupid sexy sonic with exaggerated people teeth for the meme — JESSICA (@OJessicaNigri) May 1, 2019 Nigri’s Sonic cosplay is quickly becoming a favorite among fans In a June 25 reveal, Nigri showed off her Sonic the Hedgehog design which seems to have been a direct response to the hate that the upcoming movie-Sonic received, as explained in her post. “I have always always wanted to make a Sonic cosplay,” Nigri said. “SO WHEN THE INTERNET YELLED NO at the NEW ONE, I said HECK! I made this so quickly after the internet ripped SANIC apart but I wanted a cool location for the shoot! SO I HAD TO WAIT.” 600Her cosplay features a pair a white gloves that cut over her elbow. While its a small nod, Sonic fans will be quick to point out how Nigri’s rendition at least paid respects to that detail, rather than having the arms completely lined with blue fur. The cosplayer also included some rings and gems throughout as a homage to the in-game features that the World’s Fastest Hedgehog tends to speed through to collect. 600Meanwhile, a look at the backside of the design reveals a small tail which is surely used to balance the enormous wig made special for the cosplay. “I also took a lot of inspiration from some Sonic Super crown art I found during the BOWSETTE phase of the internet,” Nigri said. “This was also my first time making a HUGE ASS WIG and im stoked!” 600To round out the cosplay, her hedgehog ears are pierced with mini gold rings, while she has on a pair of red heels to compliment Sonic’s iconic sneakers of the same color. Nigri’s take on Sonic masterfully blends features of the legendary video game character while including charming quirks that makes it an incredible cosplay on its own.

Jessi Smiles releases phone call with Gabbie Hanna after years-long feud – Dexerto
Jessi Smiles releases phone call with Gabbie Hanna after years-long feud Instagram: Jessismiles__, Twitter: GabbieHannaYouTuber Jessi ‘Smiles’ Vazquez has released a phone call with former friend Gabbie Hanna that proves her involvement with abusive ex-boyfriend, Curtis Lepore on multiple occasions. All the way back in 2019, Jessi released a YouTube video accusing former best friend, Gabbie Hanna, of affiliating with her abusive ex-boyfriend, Curtis Lepore. The feud has continued to dominate the past few years on the internet, with both women going back and forth over the issue. Gabbie has once more denied any involvement with Lepore in an interview with Buzzfeed, and claimed that they only met once after the story broke. A new phone call released by Jessi, however, proves that Gabbie actually met the former Vine star on three separate occasions. Jessi Smiles releases phone call with Gabbie Hanna On June 7, 2021, Jessi dropped a series of tweets showing a phone call that she had in summer 2020, regarding the situation. Writing that “Gabbie and I had a phone call last summer. I never planned to release it. In fact, there’s nothing I want more than to never talk or think about Gabbie ever again. But her continued lying about my trauma has officially broken me and I don’t know what else to do.” Warning: Audio may be distressing for some listeners Gabbie and I had a phone call last summer. I never planned to release it. In fact, there’s nothing I want more than to never talk or think about Gabbie ever again. But her continued lying about my trauma has officially broken me and I don’t know what else to do. pic.twitter.com/RLwPjYmcOS — Jessi Smiles (@jessismiles__) June 7, 2021 Gabbie admits that, right at the beginning of the back and forth exchange between the women, Lepore facetimed her. When Jessi challenges her by asking “why did you pick up?” Gabbie notes that she “didn’t have the number saved.” Gabbie explains that the second incident took place at an event where Lepore approached her and “tried to take a selfie,” which she refused. Jessi, however, has included a copy of said photo. The final incident, and the one that has stirred controversy, was during a 1600 Vine party. “He showed up and I was like ‘oh, f**k no.’ He tried to talk to me, or pull me aside.” When Jessi interjects yet again because Gabbie has consistently denied the meeting, Gabbie responds “that’s a completely different situation. That’s literally months and months later.” The video concludes with Gabbie continuing to deny that she spent time with Lepore’s friends, despite Jessi showing photographic evidence. “I am allowed to have friends, I am allowed to collaborate, I can’t cut everybody out of my life,” Gabbie responds. Gabbie listened to Lepore’s story Part two of the call dives into Gabbie’s actual involvement with Lepore, which Jessi describes as leaving her “disgusted.” “He said ‘do you mind if I tell you the story of that night?’ And I said ‘I mean, yeah that’s fine, I’ve heard her side, you can tell me yours.’ So he told me the exact same story.” A visibly upset Jessi responds with “I didn’t even know he told you the story of the night I was raped.” “Why would you listen to him?” asks Jessi, to which Gabbie claims she was “getting ready to defend [Jessi]… I was deadass waiting for him to lie.” From here, Jessi quickly hands up the phone and is clearly incredibly distressed. Pt. 2 (note: call has been edited for brevity but in no way that affects context) pic.twitter.com/zKqg8AEbq6 — Jessi Smiles (@jessismiles__) June 7, 2021 Jessi’s evidence In a series of tweets following the videos, Jessi proceeds to provide evidence that contradicts what Gabbie claims on the phone call, including tweets that publicly defended Lepore. Gabbie concludes, “I want you to work on a public statement, and then we can work on it together. I want a public apology…” When Jessi immediately declines, Gabbie states “I’m going to keep going then. “I have publicly apologized for a situation that should have been private, so I think it’s only fair that you can extend that same courtesy to me considering what I’ve been through” TW/Suicide – The Ultimatum Pt. 2 pic.twitter.com/34aYdnaCoc — Jessi Smiles (@jessismiles__) June 7, 2021 As this situation continues to unravel we’ll keep you up to date with the latest from Jessi and Gabbie.

Jessica Blevins reveals she’s stepping down as Ninja’s manager after Pokimane legal threat – Dexerto
Jessica Blevins reveals she’s stepping down as Ninja’s manager after Pokimane legal threat Twitter: pokimane / Red Bull Esports / Instagram: Jessica BlevinsJessica Blevins, wife and manager to husband Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins, revealed she’s ready to step down as her hubby’s admin — weeks after she got flak for sending Twitch star Pokimane a legal threat. Last month, popular streamer Imane ‘Pokimane’ Anys became the victim of a vicious hate raid orchestrated by fellow influencer Jidion. Jidion copped a permanent ban from Twitch for his involvement in the raid, prompting him to turn to Fortnite star Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins for help. During a broadcast with Jidion, Ninja appeared to text his Twitch representative, claiming he would ask them to reinstate the banned streamer (which you can watch in the YouTube video below). Pokimane called out Ninja as a result of this supposed lifeline — which ended up leading to one of the most unexpected feuds in streaming history. Ninja’s wife and manager, Jessica Blevins, sent Pokimane a message via Twitter DM, claiming that she and Tyler were “considering everything defamation of character and are getting our legal team involved.” While all’s been quiet on this front ever since — with no word at all from neither Jessica nor Tyler — it looks like she’s ready to step down from her role as Ninja’s manager weeks after this drama took place. In an interview with Sportify It, published on February 4 — three weeks after her threat of legal action toward Anys — Blevins claimed that she’s making plans to focus on her own streaming career and hire a new manager for her husband. Jessica Blevins stepping down as Ninja’s manager “We’re realizing that there will come a time, and it may come sooner rather than later, that I won’t be his manager anymore,” she admitted. “But with how much I’m doing, there’s going to be a time where we need to hire a manager that we can trust. Someone who eats, breathes, and sleeps team Ninja like I have done, and I can focus on my own stuff and take a step back.” Blevins is a streamer in her own right with a sizeable audience on Twitch, recently snagging a deal with Xbox and OPI amid their ongoing collaboration — a solid move amid her efforts to concentrate on her own brand. I’m excited to be teaming up with @Xbox and @OPI_PRODUCTS to share their new gaming-inspired spring collection #OPIXBOX. My first color is #SuziIsMyAvatar! I love that the color was named after Suzi, the co-founder of OPI, a female empowering role model! 11 more shade to try! #ad pic.twitter.com/TGXnfY00JN — Jessica Blevins (@JessicaBlevins) February 4, 2022 Jessica claims that Ninja has been “super supportive” of this initiative, saying he “just wants to see me happy.” UPDATE 2/7/2022 Jessica Blevins clarified her comments in the Sportify It interview in a tweet a few days later, reiterating that her decision to step down as Ninja’s manager isn’t an immediate one. “A lot of articles are speculating after my recent interview,” she wrote. “I’ll eventually step down as manager for Ninja so he gets full focus and time like I’ve been giving. BUT, I’m still happily and successfully balancing managing him and myself. I’m not going anywhere yet.” A lot of articles are speculating after my recent interview. I’ll eventually step down as manager for @Ninja so he gets full focus and time like I’ve been giving. BUT, I’m still happily and successfully balancing managing him and myself. I’m not going anywhere yet 🙂 — Jessica Blevins (@JessicaBlevins) February 7, 2022 For now, there’s still been no news regarding the legal issues levied toward Anys after Ninja’s stream with Jidion — but with her Twitch contract expiring and her sudden collaboration with Jidion on the horizon, it looks like there’s far more news from the streaming icon coming soon, regardless.

“Jesse Pinkman” goes viral as parking lot shootout becomes real-life Breaking Bad Twitter/ZebraRiskA real-life version of Breaking Bad’s Jesse Pinkman is going viral after a parking lot dispute turned into a scene ripped right out of the hit AMC show. Breaking Bad may be long over, but its legacy remains as one of the most popular television shows of all time, even spawning a successful crossover in Better Call Saul and a Netflix movie. Aaron Paul rose to stardom by playing dealer Jesse Pinkman, a stylish yet emotional hothead who wasn’t afraid to stand up against some of the series’ antagonists. In a video going viral on social media, a man dressed like Pinkman was confronted by a much larger gentleman in a parking lot in a clip that has fans comparing it to Breaking Bad. Real-life Breaking Bad goes viral after “Jesse Pinkman” confronted The video, uploaded by Twitter user ‘ZebraRisk,’ shows a large bald man getting in the face of another fellow who viewers think is dressed like Jesse Pinkman. Despite intimidating the Breaking Bad lookalike, the shorter man stood his ground – and after a moment, got shoved, resulting in a short scuffle unfolding. After the larger man grabbed onto his rival, shots were fired and the man in yellow stood tall, appearing to tuck his weapon away and then walk away from the parking lot. In the comments, users couldn’t stop comparing the incident to Breaking Bad, with many remarking how it looked like a deleted scene from the hit series. Others claimed that this video was from a 2022 incident in Colorado and was the result of an altercation between customers at a cannabis dispensary. Luckily, no one died during that incident. This is hardly the first time a shooting has blown up on social media. Earlier this year, a gas station shootout went viral after viewers compared it to John Wick and Grand Theft Auto.

Jesse Sebastiani admits he “misses” NELK Boys and might finally return at times – Dexerto
Jesse Sebastiani admits he “misses” NELK Boys and might finally return at times YouTube: NELKFormer NELK Boys member Jesse Sebastiani admitted he “misses” being a part of the YouTube group as they’re considering a reunion with everyone at some point in the future. Since 2019, the NELK Boys have made waves on YouTube and social media, becoming a staple for those viewers who still enjoy a good prank video or want to see strangers put in an awkward spot out the blue. Though, over time, the YouTube collective has gone through some changes. When they started out, fans would be accustomed to seeing a few faces in every video – Kyle, Jesse, Steve, and Lucas – but Jesse has moved on, selling his shares to start a new project known as Sunday. A reunion between the original group has long been talked about by fans, and it appears the Canadian group are planning something in the future. NELK Boys want a reunion and Jesse is in It came up during their August 29 video which Jesse featured in as they spoke to old members of the group in the States and back home in Canada. “I obviously miss just all you guys and all the energy too and shooting pranks and the comedy of it,” he said after being asked by Kyle if he missed them at all. “I think it was having to do it every single day, but then when you don’t have to do it, you miss this thing you love f*cking doing.” Jesse added that he was “down” to do some collaborative stuff with his old group, but don’t count on him returning as a full-time member. Timestamp of 4:25 NELK also want a reunion to include former editor 905, but getting SteveWillDoIt involved presents challenges given that he’s still banned from appearing on YouTube. They’ve discussed “alternative” ways of making it happen, including videos for Twitter/X and other platforms, so it’s one to keep an eye out for – especially if you’re a long-time NELK fan.

Jermell Charlo claims boxers “need to learn” from Jake & Logan Paul’s legacy – Dexerto
Jermell Charlo claims boxers “need to learn” from Jake & Logan Paul’s legacy Instagram/Jake PaulJake and Logan Paul have pulled off incredible feats in boxing so far in their careers, and Light Middleweight Champion Jermell Charlo believes other boxers can learn from their legacy. Not everyone took Jake and Logan Paul seriously when they started boxing. However, that changed after Jake knocked out former MMA champions Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley, and Logan went the distance against Floyd Mayweather. While the doubters and haters are still abundant they’ve won the approval of some big names in combat sports including Anderson Silva, Israel Adesanya, Mike Tyson, and Tyson Fury. Now, you can add Jermell Charlo to the list. In an interview with TMZ Sports, Charlo admitted he’s a fan of Jake and Logan Paul. “I f**k with the Paul Brothers,” he said. “I like what they’re doing. Let them keep boxing and keep going. They’re gaining experience in boxing right now. “They’re doing what they’re supposed to do. They’re doing what legacy makers are doing, and that’s why I feel like the Paul Brothers, they’re going to keep doing what they’re doing and making big money in boxing and on YouTube.” However, rather than just praising them and claiming they’re good for the sport, he took it a step further and insisted other boxers could learn from the way they handle business. “Boxers need to learn from that s**t, bro.” What’s more, the Paul brothers have only just begun. Jake was the third highest-earning boxer in the past year and wants to use that momentum to take on Canelo Alvarez next after his surprise loss against Dmitry Bivol. Meanwhile, Logan is returning to the sport after taking an extended break following his stellar performance against Mayweather. Only time will tell how far they can go. But boxers like Charlo have high hopes.

Jersey Shore’s Angelina Pivarnick slammed for sliding into NFL player’s DMs by his wife – Dexerto
Jersey Shore’s Angelina Pivarnick slammed for sliding into NFL player’s DMs by his wife Instagram: alexisbawden, angelinamtvAfter DMing NFL player Nick Bawden, Jersey Shore’s Angelina Pivarnick got called out by his rather displeased wife. The New York Jets played the New England Patriots over the weekend at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. In attendance were Jersey Shore’s Angelina Pivarnick, Snooki, Mike The Situation, Sammi Sweetheart, JWoww, and Deena. Though the Shore family was there to watch the game, Pivarnick allegedly slid into a player’s DMs moments before the game, causing his wife to call her out for trying to talk to a married man. Angelina Pivarnick threatened wife of NFL player with cease and desist Alexis Bawden, wife of Jets player Nick Bawden, exposed Pivarnick for DMing her husband before his game on Sunday. Alexis was so taken aback by Pivarnick’s message, which read “see u soon,” that she took to TikTok to air out the full story. In her viral video, Alexis opened up by saying, “Guys, I have tea — and it’s piping, piping hot.” She continued, “So I’m on the field to say ‘hi’ to my husband before he plays…” Alexis proceeded to say that she realized who Snooki was when she saw her, but admitted to not knowing anyone else from the Jersey Shore cast. Continuing to explain the situation to her followers, Alexis addressed Pivarnick’s name as “Angela,” despite it really being Angelina. She then said a brunette woman “peeped” her, however, Alexis couldn’t tell if it was Pivarnick or not. When Alexis saw the DM that Pivarnick sent her husband, she then put two-and-two together, realizing that the woman staring at her on the field was indeed Jersey Shore’s Pivarnick. Alexis finished her explainer video showing followers that her husband’s Instagram account was full of photos of their family, so Pivarnick should have known better. She then called Pivarnick weird, saying, “If you’re a fan of her, she’s weird — that’s weird. You don’t message a married woman’s man that you’re going to see him soon after you see his wife looking fly on the field, weirdo.” After Pivarnick saw Alexis’s TikTok video, she sent her a rather lengthy DM, to which Alexis again exposed on the social media platform. Though Pivarnick also asked Alexis to take her TikToks down, Alexis refused. Pivarnick then took to her Instagram story to release a statement, saying, “His wife is clearly a clout chaser and I only spoke to players I knew and in a friendly way, not a married man.” Pivarnick then threatened to send Alexis a “cease and desist” order if she didn’t stop ‘slandering’ her name. It’s unknown what the status of any legal documents is; however, it’s clear the two women are not on the same page in the fallout of this latest drama.

Jennifer Coolidge joins TikTok and White Lotus fans are obsessed – Dexerto
Jennifer Coolidge joins TikTok and White Lotus fans are obsessed TikTok: jennifercoolidgeJennifer Coolidge just joined TikTok, and her very first video is already going viral thanks to her hilarious rendition of Jennifer Lopez’s ‘Jenny from the Block’ music video. Jennifer Coolidge is a pop culture icon. Although the actress has appeared in multiple films and television series over the years, she’s getting a major second wind thanks to her award-winning performance in HBO’s show ‘White Lotus.’ Now, she’s winning hearts on social media after joining TikTok in late January… and her humor is making diehard fans love her even more. On January 20, Coolidge uploaded her very first video to the platform honoring Jennifer Lopez’s 2002 music video for her song ‘Jenny from the Block.’ Jennifer Coolidge takes over TikTok with Jennifer Lopez collab Of course, both women share the same name — but it’s Coolidge’s framing of the song as a spoken-word “poem” and her dramatic reading of the pop song that’s sending viewers over the edge. It gets even better, as Coolidge slowly pans the camera over to show a nonplussed Jennifer Lopez who says, “I like that. I really, really like that.” Coolidge’s video has already racked up over 7 million views, and her profile boasts a whopping 800,000 followers. Not bad for someone who just signed up for TikTok! Her unexpected collab with J-Lo also comes as a humorous surprise to longtime fans of Coolidge, who will likely remember the actress’s unforgettable performance as Hillary Duff’s evil stepmom in ‘A Cinderella Story.’ (“Droughts are for poor people. Do you think J-Lo has a brown lawn?”) Fans were here for their joint video and sounded off in the comments section about their excitement for her forthcoming videos. “Not since Leslie Jordan have I been so excited to see someone join TikTok,” one user wrote. “Only Jennifer Coolidge would be able to master TikTok on her first TikTok,” another said. Still, others couldn’t help but type “mom” in all caps, professing their undying love for one of TikTok’s overnight icons. It’s unclear what’s next for Coolidge’s TikTok content, but one thing’s for sure… fans are really happy she’s on the platform.

Jeremy Clarkson reveals plan to help elderly people in new YouTube video – Dexerto
Jeremy Clarkson reveals plan to help elderly people in new YouTube video YouTube: DriveTribeThe Grand Tour host Jeremy Clarkson has revealed his plan to help out people in his village with an all-new video on the DriveTribe YouTube channel. Thanks to the difficult times faced by the world at the moment, communities across the world have been pushed into lockdown situations. This has limited how many people can congregate in a group, and even pushed stores into chaos with limited shopping stock. As a result, food, drinks, and other everyday items – with the most notable being toilet paper – have become scarce commodities in certain parts of the world. Yet, if things get worse in his part of Southern England, Jeremy Clarkson has a pretty generous plan for those in need of some help. The former Top Gear host, who recently bought a farm in Oxfordshire, has been growing potatoes and other items – selling them to fans who want to have a look at his own farm shop. Though, he’s had to shut down. As a result, the 56-year-old noted that he has about “10 tonnes” of spare potatoes that he could give away to locals who may need them. “When self-isolation really kicks in and the older people in the village are really struggling, I’ll give all these potatoes away to them,” he revealed in a video on DriveTribe. “So, I won’t have grown them for nothing, they’re not just going to rot,” Clarkson added, noting that someone had told him that his local supermarkets had no potatoes on sale. “I think I’ve got about 10 tonnes left, so there’s plenty to go around.” The British TV presenter even joked that some people have been “hoarding lavatory rolls” before showing off his impressive stash of potatoes inside the ‘Diddly Squat’ farm shop. Clarkson’s farm isn’t just a novelty thing, either. The 56-year-old has made an Amazon series about it, so fans will get to see what it looks like when it’s in full working order – not just handing out potatoes to those in need of them.

JennaLynnMeowri banned on Twitch after wearing a bunny suit while live – Dexerto
JennaLynnMeowri banned on Twitch after wearing a bunny suit while live Instagram: jennalynnmeowriContent creator JennaLynnMeowri has been hit with a brief Twitch ban after going live in a bunny suit outfit just after the Easter holidays. After a number of years streaming on the Amazon-backed platform, content creator Meowri has just been handed her first Twitch ban. Hours after teasing fans on social media with a ‘playboy bunny cocktail stream,’ one in which she would be wearing a bunny suit, the popular figure was swiftly removed from the streaming site. “Got banned for a bunny suit,” Meowri shared on Twitter moments after being struck offline against her will. Looking to appeal the punishment right away, a follow-up revealed further details on the ban itself. As a 24-hour suspension, her account is set to be restored on April 11. From Twitch’s perspective, the bunny suit was classified as ‘inappropriate attire’ for the live stream, thus voiding the platform’s terms of service. A contentious point that many began to argue in the replies on Twitter. “Others stream in bunny suits though,” fellow content creator susu chimed in. Answering back, Meowri suggested some particularly bitter viewers may have forced Twitch’s hand in landing the very first strike on her account. “Wouldn’t be surprised if someone botted the report feature,” she said. However, others replied with similar experiences, with one particular internet celeb, Holly Wolf, outlining how she was allegedly banned on Twitch for the same thing. Though rather than actually streaming live in a bunny suit, she was instead banned for merely wearing one in her profile picture, she claimed. “It’s those damn exposed hips.” At the time of writing, the ban remains in effect, with Meowri’s Twitch account currently disabled on the platform. However, should the appeal be successful in time, there’s every chance she’s reinstated before long. At the very least, the content creator will be free to return to Twitch as of April 11.

Jennifer Aniston explains why TikTok is “diluting” an actor’s job – Dexerto
Jennifer Aniston explains why TikTok is “diluting” an actor’s job TikTok/ YouTube: VarietyIn an interview with Variety, Hollywood star Jennifer Aniston has claimed that creators on platforms such as TikTok and Instagram are affecting actors and their roles. As one of the fastest-growing brands in the world, TikTok has dominated the internet since its creation in 2016. The app has kickstarted careers for a plethora of content creators including Charli and Dixie D’Amelio, Addison Rae & Noah Beck. Not to mention, numerous existing celebrities from music legends to Hollywood’s most famous stars have also joined in the trend. However, ‘Horrible Bosses’ actress Jennifer Aniston claimed that this could all be having a damaging effect on an actor’s career particularly when it comes to creators trying to find fame. Jennifer Aniston on TikTok and fame Aniston joined Winter Soldier actor Sebastian Stan for Variety’s ‘Actors on Actors’ interview. As she brought up Stan’s performance in the hit Disney+ TV show ‘Pam & Tommy,’ the duo discussed the wild pop-cultural events that occurred during the 90s and how it differs from today. Aniston, who starred in the iconic 90s TV show ‘Friends,’ discussed also how the industry has changed for her over the years and how platforms such as TikTok have changed the way we look at fame. She claimed: “I always say I feel lucky that we got a little taste of the industry before it became what it is today, which is just different — more streaming services, more people. You’re famous from TikTok. You’re famous from YouTube. You’re famous from Instagram. It’s sort of almost like it’s diluting our actor’s job.” Topic begins at 9:35 However, Aniston argued that the trend began all the way back in the 90s when the internet started to pick up steam and led to the now-infamous events behind ‘Pam & Tommy.’ “It was right at the time when the internet really shaped a new culture about people becoming famous,” Aniston added. “This thing of people becoming famous for basically doing nothing. I mean — Paris Hilton, Monica Lewinsky, all those.” No TikTok stars have reacted to Aniston’s comments as of writing. However, it proves that the dispute is clearly reaching everyone from our homes to Hollywood.

Jenna issues second apology in wake of racism and homophobia scandal – Dexerto
Jenna issues second apology in wake of racism and homophobia scandal Twitch: JennaTwitch personality Jenna has issued another apology in the aftermath of offensive messages from her Discord being made public, saying that she “understands what [she] did was incredibly wrong.” The streamer has been embroiled in controversy this week over racist and homophobic messages she sent in her Discord server were made public on Reddit. Over 30 examples were shared, dating back from 2016 to as recently as December 2019. The thread, shared on /r/livestreamfail, peaked at over 30,000 upvotes and hit the website’s front page before being deleted. While she issued an initial apology on stream saying that she “doesn’t remember doing any of this,” she took some time away from the platform to reflect on her actions and prepared another one. “I wanted to think about all my actions, the things I said, the things I did, to really look deep inside and ask myself if that’s the person I want to be,” she said. “I don’t ever think ignorance is a valid excuse which is why I want to educate myself about all of these issues very well.” She said that she “hurt so many people with [her] words,” which included the use of the n-word, as well as homophobic, anti-semetic, ableist, and xenophobic slurs. Im sorry I let everyone down. Read: https://t.co/rrunzInbl5 — 🌸Jenna🌸 (@KittyCatJenna) January 16, 2020 “I wanted to apologize for the absolutely horrible and harmful behaviors I exhibited in my Discord, both recently and in the past,” she said. “I’m now aware how saying these kinds of words can affect people and I’m learning to reform the way I speak to and about others.” She also acknowledged the story about forcibly kissing her friend, which led to allegations of sexual assault being leveled against the streamer. She mentioned that it was “irresponsible in reflecting on the story without giving the full context.” “I want to be clear that I think all sexual assault is wrong and I don’t advocate for any acts that are pressured or forced or made uncomfortable for anyone even if the situation may seem innocent.” Jenna said that she was “blindsided” by the Reddit post, and wasn’t expecting it to blow up. “I know that this situation was brought up entirely out of nowhere, and to be honest it blindsided me because I didn’t understand the weight of my actions.” The streamer mentioned that she is going to work on “changing” herself after “this life-changing experience.” “I am truly grateful for this life-changing experience because it has caused me to open my eyes to the reality of my harmful words and behavior. I truly do care for people, and I genuinely am sorry if I ever hurt anyone with my words. “I want people to simply exist in peace without feeling unaccepted, misunderstood, or that they aren’t loved. I hope that this change in myself and my community will help these goals be reached.” Jenna, who is a Twitch partner, has not faced repercussions from the company as of January 16. While the messages were made off the platform, the community guidelines state that Twitch “may take action against users for hateful conduct or harassment that occurs off Twitch services” that’s targeted at other Twitch users. She has not indicated when she will return to the platform.

Jenna Ortega responds to Lady Gaga recreating iconic ‘Wednesday’ dance – Dexerto
Jenna Ortega responds to Lady Gaga recreating iconic ‘Wednesday’ dance TikTok: ladygaga / Netflix‘Wednesday’ star Jenna Ortega has responded to Lady Gaga recreating her iconic dance from the show after it became a viral trend on TikTok. Netflix series ‘Wednesday’ debuted in November 2022, and it immediately became a huge hit, taking over social media. Jenna Ortega played the starring role of Wednesday Addams in the series, and fans absolutely loved her portrayal. In particular, they loved the scene in which she performs her now-iconic dance. The dance became a trend on TikTok to the tune of Lady Gaga’s ‘Bloody Mary,’ and the singer herself even went on to recreate the routine in her own TikTok video. In an interview with Variety at the Golden Globes awards on January 10, Jenna Ortega responded to Lady Gaga recreating her dance. “It’s really strange,” Jenna said. “You know what’s funny? A long time ago, I worked with a hairdresser who used to work with her and I had just seen Lady Gaga in concert in Boston a couple of years before and she had made me a video saying, ‘Oh, hey, Jenna! I heard you’re a fan,’ and it was a really, really sweet video.” She went on to say: “I doubt she even remembers or has any idea who I was back then, but to see her do that now, it was kind of one of those moments where you acknowledge that life changes really, really fast and it’s really crazy.” Ortega does have an account of her own on TikTok, but she currently isn’t active on the platform, with only one video on her profile, dated June 2022. Some fans are hopeful that the star may start uploading more content to the app at some point in the future.

Jenna Ortega explains how she came up with viral ‘Wednesday’ dance – Dexerto
Jenna Ortega explains how she came up with viral ‘Wednesday’ dance NETFLIXJenna Ortega explained how she came up with her iconic ‘Wednesday’ dance, which has become a viral trend on TikTok and across social media. The 20-year-old actress, who plays Wednesday Addams in Netflix’s new ‘Addams Family’ spinoff series, went on ‘The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon‘ to discuss how the choreography came to be. “Initially, they wanted a flash mob, but I thought, no, there’s no way Wednesday would be cool with dancing and encouraging a bunch of people,” Jenna said. “The director, Tim Burton, and I talked about it a little bit, and he said, ‘Yeah, let’s not do a circle. Let’s have it be her own thing.’” She continued: “A week before we shot the dance, he chose the song ‘Goo Goo Muck’ by The Cramps. And The Cramps is one of my favorite bands ever, so I was super excited, super pumped.” Ortega said she wanted to choreograph the dance herself, and was given two days to do so. “[Burton] was like, ‘I know you’ve got it. You’ve been working on it. I’m not even worried about it. I trust you.’ And I said, ‘Oh, yeah, you know, it’s all so good.’” Jenna Ortega choreographed ‘Wednesday’ dance in two days According to the 20-year-old, there was only one problem. “I had not gone over it at all,” she confessed. “Oh, my God. I was kicking myself. I felt like such a fool. I’m not a dancer. I don’t do any of that. I have no experience in that field. I didn’t sleep for two days.” To prepare for the dance, Ortega watched videos of rock band Siouxsie and the Banshees, rock singers Lene Lovich and Nina Hagen, footage of “goth kids dancing in clubs in the 80s” and of Denis Lavant in the 1999 movie ‘Beau Travail.’ She also revealed that she wanted to incorporate certain things in her dance, including a small tribute to Lisa Loring — who originated the onscreen role of Wednesday Addams — within the dance. The ‘Wednesday’ dance has since gone viral on TikTok, with users recreating the iconic routine using Lady Gaga’s ‘Bloody Mary,’ instead of the song featured in the scene. Gaga herself has stunned fans by participating in the trend. The actress said Netflix officials told her that her dance was “gonna be a thing on TikTok,” she added. “And then they were right.”

Jenna Ortega might have blocked Adin Ross after he asked her on a date – Dexerto
Jenna Ortega might have blocked Adin Ross after he asked her on a date Netflix/Instagram: adinrossOn January 12, worlds collided as Twitch streamer Adin Ross decided to shoot his shot at Wednesday actress Jenna Ortega by asking her out for a nice dinner. Just a few days later, however, it looks like she might have actually blocked him on social media without even giving a response. Jenna Ortega has a huge bank of shows and movies under her belt, but she skyrocketed to global stardom after playing the lead role in Netflix’s Wednesday, a spin-off series on Wednesday Addams of the Addams Family. The 20-year-old actress has become an icon in her own way and this wasn’t something that escaped Adin, 22, who decided to try his luck when he asked her out for dinner. “Shooting my official shot at you,” he said in a tweet tagging the actress. “Just give me one chance to take you out to some nice dinner.” A few days later, after no public response from Jenna, Adin might have received his answer — but it’s not quite what he would have wanted. According to BigStreamAlerts, an account that automatically posts when big Twitch streamers follow or unfollow people on Twitter, Adin unfollowed Jenna just 3 days after the initial tweet. While this may look like him giving up on his pursuit, a follow-up tweet suggested that it’s more likely she blocked him, as he still follows Jenna’s brother Isaac. If a user blocks someone who follows them, it automatically removes that person from their follower list, hence ‘unfollowing’ them, even though they’ve actually been blocked. Obviously, this cannot be confirmed at the time of writing without Adin or Jenna themselves speaking out on it. Adin might mention it in one of his upcoming Twitch streams, though we shouldn’t expect a comment from Jenna any time soon.

Jenna Marbles TikTok lookalike goes viral but not everyone’s convinced – Dexerto
Jenna Marbles TikTok lookalike goes viral but not everyone’s convinced YouTube: Jenna Marbles / TikTok: hotgirlonline_duhA TikToker has garnered attention on the video-sharing app for having a striking resemblance to ex-YouTuber Jenna Marbles. Some viewers aren’t 100% convinced that she’s a true doppelganger, though. After being what many considered a YouTube staple, popular creator Jenna Marbles left the platform back in June 2020 following the resurfacing of offensive content in old videos. “For now, I just can’t exist on this channel,” she said through tears. “I wanna make sure the things I put into the world are not hurting anyone.” Since her rapid departure, she has remained radio silent for the most part, with many fans calling for her return. While if or when she is coming back is up in the air, one TikTok user is generating a buzz for looking eerily similar to the 35-year-old. TikTok’s Jenna Marbles lookalike Hailey K, also known as ‘hotgirlonline_duh’ on the app, usually posts regular life videos but after being told she looked like Jenna Marbles, she uploaded a clip that’s gone viral with 70,000 views at the time of writing. “[Point of view], you’ve just been told you’re the doppelganger to a famous internet comedian whose name rhymes with Lenna Barvels and you’re trying to figure out if you should ignore it because you want to be funny on your own or try to lean in on the hopes you might go viral…” she wrote. The video then showed her typing “Italian greyhounds for sale” into Google, referencing Marbles’ dogs Kermit, Peaches, and Bunny.

Others used the section to express how much they miss Jenna Marbles. “I think you brought a little sliver of happiness to so many people with that video,” a fan wrote. “Even [though] it wasn’t Jenna, it was so amazing thinking it was.” Not everybody was convinced, though, with some writing replies like “Like a Wish version maybe” and “I don’t see it at all.” Though Jenna probably isn’t coming back to the platform any time soon, fans get rare snapshots into her life via her fiancee Julian Solomita who streams regularly on Twitch.

Jenna Marbles leaves YouTube following racism allegations – Dexerto
Jenna Marbles leaves YouTube following racism allegations Jenna Marbles, YouTubeLong-time YouTuber Jenna Marbles has explained her decision to private many of her older videos following accusations of racist behavior and blackface against the star, which she addressed in a tearful video on June 25. Jenna Marbles is one of YouTube’s most popular content creators, boasting over 20 million subscribers on the platform due to her hilarious, over-the-top content that she’s been posting for over ten years. Marbles is also known for not getting into the drama that seems to permeate the YouTube scene, with many fans calling her an “unproblematic queen” — but in wake of many callouts against top online entertainers for past offenses, she has now spoken out about her own history. Marbles uploaded a heartfelt video on June 25 discussing her older content, explaining that she wanted to address a few videos in particular that had offended viewers, which have since been set to private. Specifically, the YouTuber brought up a video from 2011 parodying rapper Nicki Minaj, where she wore dark tan foundation and a pink wig. Marbles explained that the makeup matched her tan, as seen after she took her wig off at the end of the video, but noted that an argument from her side paled in comparison to the hurt she may have caused regardless of her intentions. “I don’t know how else to say this, but it doesn’t matter,” she said. “Because all that matters is that people were offended and it hurt them, and for that, I am so unbelievably sorry. This isn’t okay, and it hasn’t existed on the internet for a long time because it’s not okay.” Marbles went on to address another video made in 2011 that appeared to mock Asian languages, showing the star wearing a rice hat and long mustache. “It’s inexcusable, and it’s not okay,” she continued. “I’m incredibly sorry if this offended you. Then, now, whenever. It doesn’t need to exist.” The star also dissected an upload from 2012 where she went on a self-described “sl*t-shaming rant,” and admitted that she’d privated videos poking fun at gender-prescribing behavior, going on to announce that she would be taking an indefinite hiatus from uploading regular content. “For now, I just can’t exist on this channel,” she said through tears. “…I think I’m just going to move on from this channel for now. I don’t know if that’s forever, I don’t know how long that’s gonna be. I wanna make sure the things I put into the world are not hurting anyone.” Twitter later erupted with the news, with many fans expressing shock and dismay that Marbles was seemingly pressured into leaving YouTube over her older videos. https://twitter.com/1820bella1/status/1276262915587203073?s=20 jenna marbles just quit youtube because people tried to cancel her for stupid videos that she knew were wrong and took down years ago. she is one of the most mature YouTubers and cancel culture has ruined another amazing person.

You need the internets permission to be friends with people and can never make a single mistake even when you were a kid — Charlie (@MoistCr1TiKaL) June 25, 2020 This is far from the first time Marbles has addressed backlash from her content; the star also came forward with an apology video in late February regarding a previous upload where she’d strapped her dogs into the back of her car with a special harness made for travel. After being called out for fans for potentially hurting the animals, Marbles took to YouTube to deeply apologize for the situation and explained that she was “just trying to do the best thing that we can.” Marbles has yet to speak further on the situation on her other social media platforms in wake of her latest video.

Jenna Marbles responds to backlash after testing viral dog harness – Dexerto
Jenna Marbles responds to backlash after testing viral dog harness Jenna Marbles, YouTubeJenna Marbles has been one of YouTube’s top creators for quite some time — but despite her dedicated fanbase and general lack of drama, the star is facing outrage after testing out a dog harness for a review video. Fans of Jenna “Jenna Marbles” Mourey know the content creator for her hilarious videos and her pet dogs, most notably her Italian Greyhound “Kermit” and Chihuahua pup “Marbles.” While she’s famous for doting on her beloved pets (even throwing them a full-blown pool party), her love of animals has resulted in some unexpected backlash from critics. On February 19, Jenna uploaded a video testing out a “viral” dog safety harness, which sits the pooch upright in a car seat for vehicle safety purposes. However, many viewers called out the YouTuber for even giving the harness a review, claiming that it was unsafe to sit a dog in such a manner even for a short time due to potential pressure on their spine. This prompted the YouTuber to re-upload her video with an apology edited at its beginning, where she clarified the contents of her review and her thoughts on the divisive product. “To give you the review upfront, I did try this — the video is 30 minutes long — and I spend a majority of that time sort of describing that I’m not sure that this product is right for my dogs,” she explained. “…we’re just trying to do the best thing that we can.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pp6C7Nem91w Jenna’s subsequent response to the outrage went viral online, with fans taking to Twitter to call out critics of her video. “Y’all really bullied Jenna Marbles into deleting her video/making an apology for testing a dog harness she didn’t make or condone,” one fan wrote. https://twitter.com/SacredZoology/status/1230535924267790336?s=20 Despite her thorough apology and explanation, some critics still aren’t satisfied, with one angry user replying, “So she’s had problems looking after hamsters fish and dogs. Maybe she should learn how to look after animals before she gets them.” So she’s had problems looking after hamsters fish and dogs. Maybe she should learn how to look after animals before she gets them. — ??♀️ (@NepTuNesBltcH) February 21, 2020 The YouTuber has been called out for similar instances before, as mentioned by this reply, with the star apologizing in 2017 after fans noticed her fishtank wasn’t up to standards. Needless to say, this isn’t her first time dealing with such backlash — but it looks like her fanbase is sending ample support to defend the star from online harassment over a review that ultimately sought to warn fellow dog owners about a viral product.

Jenna Marbles & Julien Solomita announce their engagement – Dexerto
Jenna Marbles & Julien Solomita announce their engagement Instagram: juliensolomitaOnce-YouTube sensation Jenna Marbles is now finally engaged to her long-time partner Julien Solomita. The couple have been dating since 2013, and will be getting married sometime in the near future. Jenna Marbles is getting married to her long-term partner Julien Solomita soon. The couple have been together since 2013, but decided to make things official earlier in 2021. Julien announced the news at the start of an April 15 stream on Twitch. He explained that he had decided to do it there because it is his “happy place,” and he wanted to share the news with his loyal streaming fanbase. “A little while ago, I asked Jenna to marry me and she said yes. We are engaged.” The announcement got a lot of love and support from his Twitch chat. When asked about how long it’s been in the works, Julien said “probably longer ago than you think.” “I’m very excited. It feels good to get the words out because I wanted to tell you for a while but I didn’t because it was giving me anxiety. I kind of held onto it. Today I realized that it flipped and it was giving me more anxiety to hold onto it,” he said. Jenna is yet to announce the engagement on her own social media platforms. The once-Queen of YouTube has taken a step back from the public eye after old videos with racist content resurfaced back in June 2020. “She’s offline, as you know, but still very much part of my life. Now it’s official.” Julien also showed off the duo’s engagement rings, with Solomita getting a nice silver band while Jenna got a stunning diamond ring. The Twitch streamer did not announce when they’ll be getting married.

Jenna Marbles & Julien Solomita finally married after almost a decade together – Dexerto
Jenna Marbles & Julien Solomita finally married after almost a decade together Instagram: Julien SolomitaFormer YouTube star Jenna Marbles has married long-time partner Julien Solomita after dating for almost a decade. The couple – who have been together for nine full years – revealed that they were engaged in 2021. Julien announced the news of the engagement at the time during a Twitch stream. He said: “A little while ago, this is so weird, I asked Jenna to marry me and she said yes. So, we are engaged.” Solomita added that he “just woke up and wanted to be married to her,” then jokingly said that he asked Marbles the dog for permission before popping the question to Jenna. Thankfully, it’s now official as new husband Julien Solomita – who is also a content creator – just posted about their wedding on Instagram, captioning the post “married otters.” Marbles is yet to post about the marriage online herself. Likely because the content creator is still on hiatus from YouTube since she faced racism allegations back in 2020. Since then, Jenna has been mostly inactive on all of her social media. However, she still maintains nearly 20 million subscribers on her YouTube channel. The content creator began trending in July 2022, with fans banding together to encourage her to get back on YouTube after being spotted in a rare public appearance. And while Marbles is still staying away from the space, the likes of Twitch streamer Hasan Piker have come out publicly and said that her self-canceling has made him “frustrated” and that he believes she should get back on YouTube. Viral response to Jenna Marbles getting married Fans were quick to post their congratulations all over social media, expressing their excitement at the news. As well as fans, other content creators have also expressed their congratulations to the newlyweds. For all the latest Entertainment news and updates, check out Dexerto’s full coverage here.

Jenna Marbles’ home broken into by stalker after months of harassment – Dexerto
Jenna Marbles’ home broken into by stalker after months of harassment YouTube: JennaMarblesThe home of YouTube star Jenna Marbles was broken into by a stalker who had been harassing the influencer and her husband for months, as revealed in one of her husband’s posts on Instagram. Jenna Marbles is one of YouTube’s OG content creators. Known for her comedic skits and hilarious videos with her many dogs, Marbles racked up a reputation as a well-loved comedian and was one of the first prominent YouTube celebs to emerge on social media. However, after years on the platform, Marbles retired from YouTube in 2020 after critics took issue with some of her older content. In response, Marbles apologized and decided to permanently leave social media altogether. Since then, fans have gotten the occasional update about Jenna from her now-husband, Julien Solomita, whom she married in December 2022 after spending nearly a decade together. Unfortunately, their wedded bliss was cut short after a purported ‘stalker’ broke into their home on Monday, January 2, 2023. Jenna Marbles’ husband subdues home invader Julien published a statement on the subject to his Instagram stories that day, claiming that the intruder had been stalking and harassing him and his wife for “months.” Luckily, he was able to apprehend the stranger with pepper spray and locked her out of their home until law enforcement arrived. “Today, someone broke into our house,” he wrote. “A woman, that we don’t know, entered our home unannounced. Upon entering our back door, I immediately subdued her with OC / pepper spray and was able to lock her out. I called the police and she was apprehended and arrested.” He went on to clarify that he, Jenna, and all their pups are safe and sound before stating that the intruder had been “harassing me at my home for the past two months.” Fortunately, both he, Jenna, and their dogs are alright, with concerned fans showing an outpouring of support in his comments on social media in light of the terrifying incident. Numerous influencers have fallen victim to stalkers in the past; last year, Twitch streamer ‘Amouranth’ revealed that a man had flown all the way to her home in Texas from Estonia to meet her, and even camped out by her PO box for a month.

Jenna Marbles & Julien Solomita are fostering an adorable new puppy – Dexerto
Jenna Marbles & Julien Solomita are fostering an adorable new puppy Instagram: jennamarblesAfter leaving the internet in 2020, Jenna Marbles has been keeping a low profile, with fiancé Julien streaming in her absence — but she’s just given the net a huge update with her brand-new puppy. It’s no secret that Jenna and Julien are dog lovers. Jenna has historically posted videos with her memeable Greyhound pup, Kermit, and her rolly-polly Chihuahua, Marbles, making them impromptu mascots for her channel. A few years after her come-up as an internet superstar, Jenna went on to adopt another Greyhound, Peaches, the biological half-sister to Kermit. She then adopted yet another Greyhound, Bunny, who was the newest addition to their family for some time. Make no bones about it; these pups are spoilt to the max! Jenna has uploaded a slew of videos all about her doggos, including a challenge where she bought them every single thing they touched in a pet store and even threw them their very own pool party (which sparked a hilarious feud with ‘jacksfilms,’ who threw his dogs a “better pool party than Jenna Marbles”). Now, Jenna is fostering yet another Greyhound — this one by the name of ‘Jamie,’ who seems to be a retired racing dog, as quite a few rescued Greyhounds are. Julien shared pics of their newest family member to Instagram in August, and it looks like the rescued racer is already getting along with Bunny… although she “wasn’t sure what a Mr. Marbles was.” Dubbing the dog an “absolute sweetheart,” it’s clear that Jenna and Julien are all about their newest furry friend — and the internet can’t get enough of this latest look into Jenna’s life after the star left the internet last year. In 2020, Jenna Marbles notably left social media after receiving a slew of criticism over her past videos. Claiming that she didn’t want to offend anyone, Jenna took down a large portion of her older videos and retired from the net, with fiancé Julien continuing to stream solo on Twitch. For now, it doesn’t look like Jenna will be making a highly-anticipated comeback — but fans are excited that she’s helping rescue and foster animals without a home, regardless.

Jenna Marbles fans call for social media return after rare public appearance – Dexerto
Jenna Marbles fans call for social media return after rare public appearance Jenna MarblesJenna Marbles was spotted in public for the first time in a long time, and her fans on social media shared how badly they want the former YouTuber to return to making content. Back in June 2020, star YouTuber Jenna Marbles announced she was stepping back from content creation on the platform. The move came after she drew in a wave of criticism aimed at her older videos on YouTube which were being slammed as racist. Jenna has been radio silent on all of her social media feeds and has rarely made public appearances since. But now, after a fan spotted her out in the wild, her old followers are calling her to come back once and for all. Jenna Marbles spotted in public and fans want her back It’s been over two years since the 35-year-old made her exit from the internet, but her fans haven’t easily forgotten her. Twitter user saaltinthewound spotted Jenna and her fiance Julien at a mall and snapped a picture with the pair. “Me and Jenna and Julien slaying,” she said. Her comments were full of cries for Jenna to come back to YouTube. One user in the comments was shocked and said, “How I feel looking at this beautiful crumb of Jenna after 84 years.” Another user asked if she told the pair to come back to YouTube and she jokingly replied, “I asked her abt coming back and her and Julien spit on me and then threw me down the stairs.” Although Jenna likely won’t be coming back to making videos any time soon, her fans were still happy to see her out and about nonetheless.

Jenna Marbles’ fiancé Julien clears up rumors after fan photo goes viral – Dexerto
Jenna Marbles’ fiancé Julien clears up rumors after fan photo goes viral YouTube: Julien Solomita / Twitter: @saaltinthewoundA fan snagged a photo with former YouTube star Jenna Marbles and fiancé Julien Solomita — but some viewers think the pic was shared to social media without their consent. Jenna Marbles notably left YouTube back in summer 2020 after receiving backlash over her older videos, which critics deemed as racist. Since then, she hasn’t been active on social media whatsoever, with her fiancé, Julien Solomita, providing an occasional update on his partner in live streams. It’s been a hot minute since anyone has seen hide nor hair of Jenna Marbles… but in summer 2022, two years after her exodus from YouTube, a fan uploaded a photo of herself posing with the former influencer and her fiancé. The pic instantly went viral, with fans all over the internet calling for Jenna to make a comeback after her self-imposed exile…but others were more concerned that the fan had shared the photo of Jenna to social media without her express consent, especially as she has been adamant about stepping away from the limelight. Luckily, it looks as though everything was done with their permission, as Julien cleared up these worries in a few comments over on TikTok. According to Julien, both he and Jenn essentially give their consent for photos to be shared anytime they snap a pic with fans. He also thanked concerned netizens for looking out for Jenna’s wellbeing. “Hey, ya’ll,” Julien began. “Wanted to say that whenever Jenna or I consent to taking a picture (basically anytime someone asks), we are saying yes to them posting it.” “I appreciate y’all looking out for her and her privacy though.” This latest news follows another big moment for Jenna Marbles stans, after the YouTuber sent a care package to a terminally ill fan earlier this year.

Jenna Marbles celebrates her dog’s birthday with ridiculous present – Dexerto
Jenna Marbles celebrates her dog’s birthday with ridiculous present YouTube: Jenna MarblesPopular YouTuber Jenna ‘Jenna Marbles’ Mourey had a pretty ridiculous way of capping off her dog’s, Bunny, birthday by giving handing out an interesting gift. Though she might not have the following of a PewDiePie, Jenna Marbles was one of the most popular YouTubers when the video platform exploded in popularity. The American content creator has racked up over 20 million subscribers on her main channel and still, infrequently, uploads videos. In recent weeks, many of her videos have revolved around her dogs – with Marbles coming under fire, and later apologizing, for testing out a viral dog harness that kept her pets sat upright in her car. Though, her newest video, the YouTuber celebrated her dog, Bunny’s, birthday with a pretty unusual gift. In her newest video, Marbles explained how she usually celebrates her dog’s birthdays by taking them to a pet store and letting “pick out” a gift – but seeing as Bunny isn’t a massive fan of the stores, she’d have test it out. As her pooch still didn’t take to the store, the YouTuber exited and returned to car before going home and throwing a party – complete with sparkly party hats for all of her dogs. She even had a birthday cake for Bunny with four candles, and gave the dog a squeaky toy, but the unusual gift was yet to come. Instead of a new bed or collar, Marbles gave her dog a framed picture of comedian Jerry Seinfeld because his show, Seinfeld, was the only one Bunny seemed to take to when the YouTuber would be sat in her living room watching TV. Segment begins at 9:36 for mobile viewers. As a further ‘gift’, Marbles told her dog that she’d put on her “favorite” episode from the sitcom as soon as they were finished with her birthday party. Of course, not many dogs would be treated to a similar birthday present but Bunny seemed to enjoy the day anyway – rolling around and wagging her tail at the sight of the framed photo.

Jenna Marbles leaves Twitch channel with boyfriend Julien Solomita – Dexerto
Jenna Marbles leaves Twitch channel with boyfriend Julien Solomita Jenna Marbles: InstagramJenna Marbles’ departure from YouTube in June sent shockwaves through the internet. But the homecoming of this beloved YouTube star is looking unlikely, as her shared Twitch channel ‘jennajulien’ with partner Julien Solomita becomes simply ‘julien.’ Jenna’s decade long stint on YouTube has earned her a vast community of adoring fans, reaching a subscriber base of over 20 million. However, Jenna was one of the influencers thrown into the firing line earlier this year when old problematic videos resurfaced. Following an emotional apology regarding depiction of racist stereotypes and blackface earlier in her career, Jenna departed the internet with no guarantee that she would ever return. While she’s remained silent on social media ever since, fans maintained hope that she would return at some point. However, in a recent Twitch stream, Julien announced some “small changes” to the channel. This included removing Jenna from the channel name altogether. He explains it as an attempt to not “mislead” anyone, and to “show respect” to his loyal viewers. Still, there was also the reassurance that “the community will not change.” Shortly after, Julien took to his side twitter account ‘notjulen’ to thank fans for being part of their cherished memories. He described it as an“bittersweet” decision. https://twitter.com/notjulen/status/1290883708598145024 Julien finally rebrands These changes came to fruition on the 6th, as Julien streamed for the first time under the new channel name. He expressed that he’s excited for “all the streams to come,” calling his fans “incredible” for their support. Viewers speculate over “what Jenna is even doing now,” and voice fears that now the pressure lies solely on Julien, it may mean a permanent end to the duo’s mood-boosting content. While there isn’t a definite answer on whether Jenna will return to social media, her removal from the Twitch channel certainly doesn’t bear good news for those who anticipate her return.

Jenna loses Twitch partnership following racist DM scandal – Dexerto
Jenna loses Twitch partnership following racist DM scandal Instagram: JennaTwitch has revoked popular streamer Jenna’s partnership with the broadcasting platform, after a series of old messages containing racist and homophobic slurs from her Discord channel came to light on social media on January 13. The personality became the center of a controversy after racist and homophobic messages sent on her private Discord server—some of which dated back to 2016, and as recently as December 2019—were made public on /r/livestreamfails. The thread hit over 30,000 upvotes, and landed on Reddit’s front page before being deleted by moderators. Jenna responded soon after with an apology, and released a second just days later admitting what she did was “incredibly wrong.” Now, 16 days after the initial release of the messages, Twitch has made the move to strip Jenna of her partnership on the Amazon-owned platform. She is still able to stream, but she will have no partner or affiliate benefits. “I was unpartnered on Twitch today. I understand and respect their decision, and I am happy they are standing against hate,” the 21-year-old said, after confirming the news. “It brings me joy I am in a community that will protect the oppressed.” Jenna also added a message directed at Twitch, suggesting she was aiming to return to the partnership program in the future: “ If you allow me, I will regain your trust, and the community’s, with my future actions.” I was unpartnered with @Twitch today. I understand and respect their decision and Im happy they are standing against hate. It brings me joy I am in a community that will protect the oppressed. If you allow me, I will regain your trust and the community’s with my future actions pic.twitter.com/oad2WTEKmI — 🌸Jenna🌸 (@KittyCatJenna) January 30, 2020 Those sentiments echoed a similar message from Jenna when she was first “blindsided” by the initial Reddit post. The streamer, who boasts more than 263,000 followers, added she wanted to make the most of this “life-changing experience.” “I am truly grateful for this… because it has caused me to open my eyes to the reality of my harmful words and behavior. I truly do care for people, and I genuinely am sorry if I ever hurt anyone with my words,” she said on January 17. “I want people to simply exist in peace without feeling unaccepted, misunderstood, or that they aren’t loved. I hope that this change in myself and my community will help these goals be reached.” Jenna has yet to officially confirm whether she’ll be remaining on Twitch after losing her elite status, though it appears she’s staying put for the time being considering she wants to “prove herself” to the Amazon-owned platform once more. The de-partnered personality hasn’t returned with a livestream since the DMs were first leaked, and has given no indication when she may return. She has still been active on Instagram, however, where she boasts 228,000 followers.

Jelly Roll & Nelly ‘Hot in Herre’ collab has fans losing their minds – Dexerto
Jelly Roll & Nelly ‘Hot in Herre’ collab has fans losing their minds Youtube: Grand Ole OpryDuring The Big 98’s Friendsgiving concert at the Grand Ole Opry on November 21, country star Jelly Roll brought out rapper Nelly for an unexpected collaboration, and fans are losing their minds. Jelly Roll started his career in hip hop and selling mixtapes out of his trunk. His roots run deep, even if he’s traded bars for sensitive songwriting. Despite the genre switcheroo, his country career seems to be working out. He not only walked away with the CMA for New Artist of the Year but landed a major Grammy nomination in 2023. He competes in Best New Artist alongside Ice Spice, Victoria Monét, and more. Even though he’s left hip-hop (mostly) behind, he remains indebted to the genre that taught him about life, love, and music. Jelly Roll collabs with Nelly, and fans aren’t holding back The Big 98’s Friendsgiving concert at the Grand Ole Opry proved to be a real treat. Jelly Roll fans flocked to the show, but no one could have expected a surprise appearance from rapper Nelly. Nelly isn’t a stranger to country music, of course; he’s previously collaborated with Tim McGraw and Florida Georgia Line. But this new collaboration threw fans for a complete loop. In the comments of a now-viral TikTok, fans couldn’t hold back their excitement. “Not a big Jelly Roll fan but love how he’s bringing culture together with stuff like this,” said one fan. Nelly at the Opry is “something I didn’t know I needed to see,” wrote another. “Hip-hop at the Grand Ole Opry is breaking barriers,” declared a fan. “I love every minute of it.” “If I was an artist I swear bringing out other artists and announcing them and surprising the crowd would be my favorite,” wrote EJ Griffith. Tommy Lorenz admitted to being a long-term fan, from back in Jelly Roll’s hip-hop days, applauding, “I’m glad he finally made it but I never thought it would be for country music.” Another user pointed out the “super cool” energy of the performance while noting how “Nelly is a just an all around nice guy,” they wrote. Whether a recorded collaboration comes out of this moment is unclear. But what is most evident is their chemistry performing together. If they were to record, it’s guaranteed to be a hit.

Negan actor reveals secret behind The Walking Dead’s zombies in Hot Ones – Dexerto
Negan actor reveals secret behind The Walking Dead’s zombies in Hot Ones AMCJeffrey Dean Morgan, the popular actor bringing The Walking Dead’s Negan to life, just revealed a new secret as to how the iconic cast actually fight off zombies. AMC’s The Walking Dead has been one of the most popular shows for more than a decade now. Before the highly anticipated final season comes to a close, however, there’s still plenty of secrets to uncover. While the storyline itself remains a mystery, as the show divulges from Robert Kirkman’s comic books, a juicy behind-the-scenes detail was just revealed by none other than Negan himself. In the midst of eating some spicy chicken wings on an April 2 episode of Hot Ones, Morgan delved into his life on set. When it comes to killing zombies on camera, there’s a unique trick to it that you might not have considered. Jeffrey Dean Morgan Hot Ones challenge “You’d be amazed how little we actually touch the zombies when we’re killing them,” he explained. Despite racking up dozens of zombie kills as the infamous Negan, there’s not much physicality to it, based on Morgan’s description. “I’ll give you a little secret… I went out of frame today with the crowbar. I dipped the end of the crowbar into a bucket of pig guts, came up with it, and it looked like I’d just wiped out the zombie.” Rather than actually connecting, The Walking Dead’s cast simply act out the motions in close proximity. The gruesome impact from killing a zombie still comes through, but the actual collision is added in through CG. “All sorts of little things like that” are a natural part of life on set, according to Morgan. However, the biggest boon for The Walking Dead is Greg Nicotero, he explained. “He’s a genius when it comes to that. We have the best in the world with special effects makeup.” Morgan delves into the zombie-killing process at the 4:10 mark below. After more than 175 episodes, the show is always looking for fresh ways to present zombies. From armored undead, to aged and mossy walkers, Nicotero appears to be the brains behind it all. While the comics may have come to an end in 2019, there’s still a little life left in the TV show. AMC’s The Walking Dead is set to conclude with Season 11 in 2022.

Jelly Roll in tears after receiving Best New Artist Grammy nomination Youtube: Jelly RollRapper-turned-country singer Jelly Roll landed a pair of nominations for the 66th Grammy Awards, including Best New Artist, and he took to TikTok to share his emotions. On November 8, 2023, Jelly Roll took home his very first CMA Award for New Artist of the Year. At the show’s 57th ceremony, he beat out the likes of Zach Bryan, Megan Moroney, and Parker McCollum. Such award success is warranted given his blockbuster year. Songs like “Save Me,” a collaboration with Lainey Wilson, and “Halfway to Hell” demonstrated that he not only could sing with the best of them but that there’s a hungry fanbase for his brand of country music. Despite his superstardom, he’s still just a Southern boy from outside Nashville. Jelly Roll weeps after Grammy nominations On November 10, the Recording Academy revealed the nominees for the 66th Grammy Awards, and Jelly Roll found his name in one of the big categories. Jelly Roll will compete in Best New Artist against Ice Spice, Noah Kahan, The War and Treaty, Fred Again…, Gracie Abrams, Coco Jones, and Victoria Monét. Upon hearing the news, the singer posted an emotional video on TikTok. “The greatest honor an artist could ever hear is that they’ve been nominated for a Grammy,” he said, the floodgates opening up. “I got to hear that this morning.” He continued, “I haven’t cried like this since my daddy died. I tried to make this video seven times, y’all. I love y’all, man, so f***ing much.” Jelly Roll’s awards nominations didn’t stop there. “Save Me” with Lainey Wilson also snagged a nomination for Best Country Duo/Group Performance, which also includes such artists as Kacey Musgraves and Chris Stapleton. The 66th Grammy Awards will air on February 4 on CBS and Paramount+.

Jeffree Star to open first-ever retail store in Wyoming YouTube: Jeffree StarMakeup mogul Jeffree Star is opening his first-ever retail store in Wyoming, where he’ll sell his wide variety of beauty products and meat from his yak ranch. Jeffree Star might be best known as an OG beauty YouTuber, but he’s also risen in the ranks as a hugely successful businessman, boasting his very own makeup and skincare brand that’s available in several popular retailers and online stores. However, Star left his glamorous life behind in Los Angeles back in 2021 to raise yaks on a 500-acre ranch in Wyoming — and since then, he’s expanded his array of products to include yak meat. Years after his rise to the top of YouTube fame, Jeffree is finally getting his very own retail store, which is set to sell both beauty products and meat from his yak ranch. Jeffree Star to sell makeup & meat in first-ever retail store On June 26, Star pushed out a major announcement on his Instagram page, alerting his fans that he’s opening his first retail store very soon after years of his brand being mostly online-only. The store, simply called the ‘Jeffree Star Store,’ will offer the “full range” of Jeffree Star Cosmetics items, as well as the “full range of meat products from Star Yak Ranch.” When does Jeffree Star’s retail store open? The YouTuber is set to hold a ‘meat & greet’ for the store’s grand opening on Monday, July 14. At the time of writing, no time or address have been provided, but posters for the event point to downtown Casper, Wyoming as the place to be.

This latest news follows a scary moment for the influencer, who was recently swatted by a TikToker during a shocking live stream.

Jeffree Star denies accusations that he only does YouTube to sell products – Dexerto
Jeffree Star denies accusations that he only does YouTube to sell products YouTube: Jeffree StarYouTuber Jeffree Star has released a new video in which he addresses claims that he only makes a video when he has something to sell, as well as announcing some changes to his staff. Jeffree Star is one of the biggest beauty YouTubers on the scene and has proven to be one of the makeup mogul’s most successful endeavors to date. Many of his followers found him via YouTube, and have helped him to grow his company, Jeffree Star Cosmetics, by a huge amount. However, the YouTuber is never far from drama, and he’s been under fire several times in the past for matters relating to new makeup launches. This includes criticism over defective palettes and “gross” product names. On February 20, Jeffree announced the new ‘Cavity Palette’ as part of the Blood Sugar Anniversary collection, though it seems not everyone was happy with the product, many calling it “anti-climactic.” One person even said “now we know why his last elf makeup review was so half-assed and rushed. He was just getting ready for another promo vid for his new makeup.” In his new video, titled ‘Saying Goodbye,’ Jeffree addressed some of the claims that he only makes videos when he has a product to sell and explained why some of his most recent videos seem of poorer quality than usual. He told viewers that his videographer Christian and personal assistant Maddie had both left the team, though made sure to clarify that there was no drama involved, and they were just moving on to other things in their careers. Read More: Why is Salt Bae trending again? – Jeffree went on to say: “for some reason a lot of people think that I only want to do YouTube videos because I have a product coming out,” and explained that, “it’s gonna be really hard to fill these people’s shoes. They’ve been in my life for years.” Topic starts at 8:20 With regards to complaints about his videos being lower quality than usual, he said that because he can’t hire someone new immediately and that “the last two videos you guys saw was just a friend’s friend filming for me.” He explained: “a lot of people were reading it to the ground. And I know things were different, and when things change, people freak out. And I get it, it was not the same quality.” While the video title initially had some fans worried, it looks like Jeffree is still planning on making plenty of YouTube content in the future.

Jeffree Star’s controversial palette under fire for “formula change” – Dexerto
Jeffree Star’s controversial palette under fire for “formula change” YouTube: Jeffree Star[jwplayer mgzBNoPb]YouTuber and makeup mogul Jeffree Star is facing backlash, yet again, over what fans claim is a potential change in the formula of his latest eyeshadow palette in comparison to its travel-sized version. Jeffree Star sparked backlash across the internet in mid-August upon the release of his new eyeshadow palette — or, more specifically, over the product’s name, which we cannot repeat here for obvious reasons. Many critics lashed out at the beauty guru over his choice of name for the palette, with quite a few arguing that the product could alienate his younger fans due to its inappropriate nature. However, that’s not where the controversy ends; the miniature-sized version of the divisive palette is also coming under scrutiny after a few buyers claim the handheld iteration boasts a significantly different formula than its parent product. SHOP the entire #ORGY Collection: https://t.co/jnCgjGGIh3 👅 pic.twitter.com/eWlui1N06m — Jeffree Star (@JeffreeStar) August 21, 2020 Fans took to Twitter to voice their concerns over the matter, with many claiming that the colors in the mini palette were “crumbly” and even contained foreign objects. “Help!” one user wrote. “The shades Glass Wet and Foam Party in my mini **** palette have little pellets in them and crumble everywhere, they are unusable.” https://twitter.com/coraly_bb/status/1300563954088005633?s=20 “Is my mini **** palette supposed to have these little pellets in the shadows?” another asked, uploading a photo of their travel-sized version of the product. @JeffreeStar is my mini orgy palette supposed to have these little pellets in the shadows? pic.twitter.com/oExOzZz7T8 — Alyssa (@akaelundy) August 29, 2020 Still another claimed that certain colors had “no payoff” — meaning the shade wasn’t as pigmented or impressive as it originally seemed. Still others claim that the original palette has issues of its own, with one buyer stating that the shades were loose in the individual pots of their product. I got my lip vault and love it. My mini palette is beautiful but my big palette is messed up. Shades are loose and one has already came completely out. 💔 pic.twitter.com/bVj6kQiGRa — Keisha yates (@Keishayates12) September 3, 2020 While Star has yet to respond to these claims, he isn’t the first makeup mogul to come under fire for alleged formula changes, by far; fellow YouTuber and beauty star Jaclyn Hill also received backlash in March after fans felt the formula for one of her signature Morphe collaborations was significantly altered. While Morphe themselves claimed that Hill was not aware of the changes made to her palette, that didn’t stop her from being on the receiving end of fans’ ire — and it looks like the outrage around Jeffree Star isn’t going to stop anytime soon, either.

Jeffree Star’s ex-boyfriend targeted with fake Instagram account – Dexerto
Jeffree Star’s ex-boyfriend targeted with fake Instagram account Jeffree Star, YouTubeYouTuber and makeup mogul Jeffree Star announced his split with ex-boyfriend Nathan Schwandt in early 2020, but some fans aren’t happy with the fallout and have taken matters into their own hands. After a brief period of speculation, Star cleared up rumors that he and Schwandt had parted ways, admitting that they’d broken up in a mutual split and still had love for each other. However, this sentiment seems to have changed, with Star later revealing “dark” drama going on behind the scenes of their breakup that he claimed he was afraid to speak out on due to potential legal ramifications. With this new information in mind, fans have been shading Schwandt across social media – but one critic has taken their vitriol to the next level. In early April, fans took notice of an Instagram account that appeared to be a secondary profile for Schwandt, which boasted the same profile picture and bio as his original account. The new account posted several photos of the former internet star via their stories, seeming to impersonate Schwandt in apparent retaliation for the alleged drama behind his parting with Star. That’s not all. The phony profile even leaked a few sensitive pictures of Nathan, with one post boasting the caption: “Let me know if I should get my adult career film going.” They also posted a few older photos of Star to their stories, captioned, “Missing him,” further fanning the flames of speculation that Schwandt may have started a burner account to burn off some steam. Despite this possibility, the account has since been revealed to be a fake, and some have taken the real Schwandt’s ensuing photo flipping off the camera as a potential reaction to the skeezy impersonator. Yet, both he and Star have yet to officially react to the false profile, which has yet to post any photos to its feed at the time of writing. Star and Nate’s breakup aside, this latest development goes to show that it’s never okay to impersonate someone online nor leak sensitive photos of that person, no matter what the case may be — especially in regards to a split that Star is has expressed he’s keen on keeping private.

Jeffree Star under fire for BLM comments in James Charles apology video – Dexerto
Jeffree Star under fire for BLM comments in James Charles apology video YouTube: Jeffree StarAfter Jeffree Star posted his 10-minute apology video in the wake of his ongoing drama with fellow beauty YouTuber James Charles, he has received backlash for some of his comments, particularly around the BLM movement. James Charles’ drama with Star dates back over a year, after a feud picked up involving himself, Tati Westbrook, Jeffree Star and Shane Dawson. It was alleged by Tati that she had been fed rumors about Charles by Dawson and Star, resulting in the ensuing drama. Shane and Jeffree have now both apologized in separate videos, with the latter’s released on July 18. But, during the apology, Star made reference to Breonna Taylor, Elijah McClain, and the murder of “black/trans” people in America. This mention of the Black Lives Matter movement quickly drew the ire of social media users, who argued it was inappropriate to reference these issues in a video about a beauty YouTuber drama. “Jeffree Star bringing up BLM and the injustices in the black/trans community in his video is the grossest form of manipulation and deflection I’ve ever seen,” wrote @AHumanPear in a now-viral tweet. Jeffree Star bringing up blm and the injustices in the black/trans community in his video is the grossest form of manipulation and deflection I’ve ever seen. It’s a trend. The energy is very much “Let me add this so they know I’m not a racist.”#jeffreestar #doingwhatsright pic.twitter.com/jd1uXOG6HA— Nari (@Somniariii) July 18, 2020 This was followed up by countless other Twitter users making similar complaints about Star’s apology video. Some also noted that Star had disabled comments on the video, meaning social media was the only place to share their criticism. Jeffree star mentioning black lives matter pissed me off in a different way. That shit was so manipulative and conniving. He didn’t link one resource but used black people YET AGAIN as a token. But I do see he turned those comments off because people were seeing through his BS. — TheSoreIka (@TheSoreIka) July 19, 2020 jeffree star really said “sorry james… BLACK LIVES MATTER!!!! i used to be homeless 😔 now i’m successful… MY MAKEUP IS THE BEST BECAUSE IT IS INCLUSIVE!!! i’m focusing only on myself 🥰🥰” pic.twitter.com/gchbxXS1nS — tobi (@helpwantedsigns) July 19, 2020 https://twitter.com/basjl3/status/1284647321439854593 YouTuber D’Angelo Wallace accused Jeffree Star of ‘hijack-tivism’ for his inclusion of BLM issues in the video, saying it was used “as a distraction from his makeup YouTube drama.” https://twitter.com/dangelno/status/1284663846570020864 This wasn’t the only criticism leveled at the apology video either. Others also highlighted that Star had used a significant portion of the video to talk about his Jeffree Star Cosmetics products, as well as ‘posing’ for the thumbnail. https://twitter.com/heyitsshawday/status/1284652811834155008 https://twitter.com/emaanmian/status/1284633519084441600 Fans are eagerly anticipating a response from James Charles himself, though it may not be forthcoming. The YouTuber, who recently hit 20 million subscribers, has been reluctant to address the reignited drama. When paparazzi caught up with him in public, he refused to speak on either Shane Dawson or Jeffree Star, but did make comment about the negatives of “cancel culture.” Meanwhile, it has reflected very poorly on Jeffree Star and Shane Dawson, who have both lost hundreds of thousands of subscribers on their channels.

Jeffree Star under fire for comments on trans and nonbinary people – Dexerto
Jeffree Star under fire for comments on trans and nonbinary people YouTube: Bussin’ With The BoysMakeup mogul Jeffree Star is taking some heat due to comments he made about trans and nonbinary people during an episode of Taylor Lewan’s ‘Bussin’ With The Boys’ podcast. Jeffree Star is an OG beauty influencer and makeup mogul, boasting a popular presence on social media as well as an expansive empire of makeup products, clothing, and even yak meat. After retreating from the limelight in 2021 in favor of living a rural life on his 500-acre yak ranch, Star has slowly but surely come back into the picture over the past few months, most recently calling out fellow influencer Mikayla Nogueira’s controversial mascara promo. Although fans were here for his critical review of the same product, the YouTuber is now facing major backlash online due to comments he made about trans and nonbinary people in an episode of the ‘Bussin’ With The Boys’ podcast, hosted by the Tennessee Titans’ Taylor Lewan. Jeffree Star sparks backlash after comments go viral In the episode, Star criticized trans and nonbinary people, claiming to have garnered a conservative following as a result of his views. “I’m not into all the other bullsh*t,” Star began, referencing trans and nonbinary people. “The ‘they’ and ‘them.’ And all that extra sh*t that we added during the pandemic because everyone was so bored in their f*cking houses. They just started to make up more sh*t.” “That’s why the conservatives like me, because I’m just real,” he continued. “You’re not they and them. You’re trans — you’re male, or you’re female. And people get so mad when I say that. How are you a ‘they?’ What the f*ck does that mean? It’s stupid!” (Topic begins at 1:03:31) Star has since garnered a wave of backlash online after a tweet calling out his comments went viral. “This is rich, coming [from] someone who constantly refers to themselves as an ‘alien’ in society,” producer Daniel Preda wrote in a post that’s garnered over 5,000 likes. “It’s really not that hard to respect people’s pronouns, but hey, anything for a little more attention that you crave so deeply, right? You’re embarrassing, Jefferson.” “I’m so tired of this,” another commenter said in a quote reply. “Just respect non-binary and trans people. Jeffree Star is disgusting.” Another user pointed out a previous video in which Star proudly displayed a gender neutral bathroom in one of his warehouses. I know ppl change (esp for money & attention) but I remember in a shane dawson’s vid Jeffree proudly showing off his company’s all gender bathroom. pic.twitter.com/dbKuJDHrYD — gray jedi (pinned! 🎬 ) (@GrayJedi2189) February 15, 2023 “I know it has to be addressed, but he is doing this to stay relevant and revive his 2019 fame,” another argued. “At some point we just have to stop giving him the time of day.” I know it has to be addressed but he is doing this to stay relevant and revive his 2019 fame. At some point we just have to stop giving him the time of day — AJ 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ (@annavranopules) February 15, 2023 Jeffree Star responds to backlash over comments on nonbinary people Jeffree Star has since responded to the criticism he’s received over his comments in a series of short videos posted to his Instagram stories. In the clips, Star directly called out his critics, arguing that he “never said” that “nonbinary people don’t exist.” “I said I don’t like the pronouns and I don’t agree with them. I never said they don’t exist. B*tch, I’m a freak. I’m a part of the LGTBQ community! B*tch, I’m pansexual. I’m bisexual. I’m whatever the f*ck you wanna call me.” “I do not agree with a few things,” he continued. “I’m old school. This new, all these f*ckin’ thirty terms, Girl, stop. Stop complicating everything. Just chill. Take a hit. Relax. And don’t put words in my f*ckin’ mouth.” This latest news follows rampant speculation that he was actually dating Lewan due to a series of cryptic tweets he posted prior to their viral podcast episode.

Jeffree Star & Tati Westbrook speak out amid Shane Dawson scandal – Dexerto
Jeffree Star & Tati Westbrook speak out amid Shane Dawson scandal Jeffree Star, Shane Dawson, Tati Westbrook – YouTube[jwplayer mgzBNoPb]YouTube beauty gurus Tati Westbrook and Jeffree Star have finally spoken out after fellow creator Shane Dawson’s account of events in relation to the canceling of James Charles in 2019. The drama began after Jeffree Star was called out by one of his ex-models, Kameron Lester, who claimed that Dawson had called Star and “cursed out” James Charles over the phone prior to the drama from May 2019. Lester expressed regret that he hadn’t notified Charles of potential ill will against him from these YouTube giants at the time, leading Dawson to speak out on the subject in a divisive and lengthy Notes post. In his statement, Dawson claimed that he no longer wanted to take part in the scandal and did not tell Charles about Tati’s viral “Bye Sister” video, although he knew it would be coming out, and has since discussed the situation with Charlies in private. However, the entire fiasco has stirred the social media pot fit to boiling, and Star appeared to address the matter in a series of now-deleted Tweets. “My coping mechanisms for past trauma sometimes make more problems for me and the people around me,” the makeup mogul wrote. “Don’t let anyone ever tell you it’s too late to get help. Mental health is more important than anything on the planet.” One fan didn’t seem appeased by his statement, replying back with, “So, getting millions of fans to hate on a 19-year-old that almost lead to suicide was a coping mechanism for you?” So getting your millions of fans to hate on a 19 year old that almost leads to suicide was a coping mechanism for you? — Geo wonder (@gwonderland0) June 23, 2020 “If that’s the fake narrative you want to believe, great?” Star shot back. “Move on and worry about your own s**tty life and actions. Mine are not your problem.” That’s not all; Star also replied to another fan, who had defended him amid the drama, writing, “Their main goal is to get us to hurt ourselves.” Tati Westbrook has also teased a potential statement about her “Bye Sister” video, uploading lyrics from singer Gabrielle Aplin’s ‘Dear Happy’ song, which included the lines, ‘I started thinking / I should open my mouth / Let the words out / Let the words out, yeah.” https://twitter.com/GlamLifeGuru/status/1275228220854419456?s=20 Tati’s tweet is leaving fans on the edges of their seats as they await further information from a scandal that nearly destroyed James Charles’ career over a year ago.

Jeffree Star threatens to expose “receipts” in response to James Charles drama – Dexerto
Jeffree Star threatens to expose “receipts” in response to James Charles drama Jeffree Star, Instagram / James Charles, YouTubePopular beauty YouTubers James Charles and Tati Westbrook are in the middle of a fierce feud, which saw the involvement of makeup mogul Jeffree Star – who claims to have serious “receipts” in store to expose Charles for his “manipulation.” Star posted a Tweet on May 18 in response to Charles’ 40-minute-long “No More Lies” video, which addressed claims made by Tati that he had used his fame to “manipulate” straight men’s sexuality and promoted a product from her direct competitor without fair warning. However, Charles’ video appeared to debunk nearly all of Tati’s claims – but Star isn’t buying his explanations. Star’s Tweet claimed that he had “really sad, disgusting things” to show fans in response to Charles’ video, claiming that the young YouTuber had just “mass manipulated” all of his fans. “Everyone keeps asking me for my RECEIPTS,” Star wrote. “I have so much to say and some really sad, disgusting things to show you guys. James Charles tried to mass manipulate you all today. When I show you the proof and WHY I tweeted that tweet about him, you will all finally understand.” Everyone keeps asking me for my RECEIPTS…. I have so much to say and some really sad, disgusting things to show you guys. James Charles tried to mass manipulate you all today. When I show you the proof and WHY I tweeted that tweet about him, you will all finally understand. — Jeffree Star (@JeffreeStar) May 18, 2019 Star likewise published a Tweet shortly after Charles’ video went live, assuring fans that “there are always two sides to every story.” Star played a big role in the later portion of Charles’ video, as well, with Charles showing a slew of text messages from Star accusing him of “trapping” a boy in his hotel room and “using sentences a rapist would use” toward Zach, the younger brother of Star’s longtime boyfriend. Before you believe anything that was said today, remember there are always two sides to every story. — Jeffree Star (@JeffreeStar) May 18, 2019 In fact, Charles claimed that Jeffree had encouraged him to pursue Zach, as evidenced by his statement in a collaborative video the two published prior to the drama – despite Zach identifying as “mostly straight.” James’ own little brother was also dragged into the mix, after Star quote replied to his Tweet, calling James a “predator” and telling him to “shut the fuck up.” 500 Star likewise accused Charles of trying to “molest and touch” YouTuber Grayson Dolan in his sleep – a claim that Charles vehemently denied, claiming that “nothing ever happened between us.” Charles has since seen a major rise in subscribers following the release of his video, but with Jeffree’s “receipts” still pending, the story has yet to fully unfold.

Jeffree Star sued by Anna Nicole Smith Estate over lipstick shade name – Dexerto
Jeffree Star sued by Anna Nicole Smith Estate over lipstick shade name Jeffree Star / Globe PhotosJeffree Star has been involved in several controversies throughout the years, but now the internet personality has found himself in hot water after being sued for using Anna Nicole Smith’s name in a lipstick shade. [jwplayer smynPnSq] Jeffree Star is a multi-talented internet personality, but he’s best known for being the founder and owner of Jeffree Star Cosmetics. His cosmetics company reportedly sells more than 100 million dollars worth of products each year. It started with three lipstick colors and expanded into a whopping collection of many different make-up products. Jeffree Star is no stranger to controversy. However, the company has recently been sued by Anna Nicole Smith’s estate for selling a lipstick named “Anna Nicole” in their Velour Liquid Lipsticks line. The estate inherited all the intellectual property rights associated with her name after she passed away in February 2007. The estate believes the lipstick was clearly named after Anna Nicole Smith. They also claim it’s a very similar shade to the one she wore herself. What’s more, it seems like Jeffree Star Cosmetics never sought out permission to use her name on their products. This prompted them to file a lawsuit, claiming Jeffree Star Cosmetics used Anna Nicole Smith’s “name, image, and likeness to advertise for sale and sell its different commercial products.” The estate also claimed the company is selling a lip liner and eyeliner inspired by Anna Nicole Smith. It also happens to be one of their best-selling products. If their lawsuit is successful, it’s very likely that they could be entitled to some or all of the profits Jeffree Star Cosmetics has made from selling the Anna Nicole lipstick, as well as the additional lip liner and eyeliner. Jeffree Star has not made an official response to the lawsuit yet. However, we will update you as more information arises.

Jeffree Star surrounded by cops during TikTok live stream swatting – Dexerto
Jeffree Star surrounded by cops during TikTok live stream swatting YouTube: Jeffree StarYouTuber and makeup mogul Jeffree Star was swatted during a TikTok live stream, leaving him furious as he was surrounded by cops on the doorstep of his ranch. Jeffree Star is one of YouTube’s OG beauty gurus and a major name in the makeup industry, boasting his very own makeup brand, ‘Jeffree Star Cosmetics.’ Star has made a major shift in his life since rising to prominence in the late 2010s, most notably selling his lavish Hidden Hills mansion in favor of a 500-acre ranch in Wyoming back in 2021, where he raises Yaks. The YouTuber was clear that he’d chosen this lifestyle as a way to decompress from the stress of Los Angeles living — but it looks like his quiet country casa was interrupted in a major way on June 13. Jeffree Star swatted during TikTok live stream That night, Star was live with some friends on TikTok when he revealed that he’d been swatted. Fans could clearly see red and blue lights from police cars flashing on his face as he waited outside the front gate of his property, explaining the situation. According to Star, someone watching the stream must have swatted him — and he wasn’t happy about it. “Me and my assistant are at my house, cozy, chillin’, and someone did a fake police call,” he explained. “There’s a police car, an ambulance, saying ‘Shots fired.’ You guys, I’m not kidding. Look. Someone watching this did a fake cop call on me, saying there were shots fired at my ranch.” “Whoever swatted me, you’re a stupid motherf*cker,” Star continued. “It’s funny as f*ck, but it’s also really not.” While it’s unclear what the motive was behind this swatting, this wouldn’t be the first time Star has caught the ire of someone on the internet. Back in February, the makeup artist came under fire after making divisive comments about trans and nonbinary people during a podcast episode that went viral. Star is also far from the only online creator to become a victim of swatting, with a slew of top influencers and streamers like IShowSpeed, H3H3, and more having to deal with the stressful situation as a result of their careers.

Jeffree Star slams “monster” James Charles with serious allegations – Dexerto
Jeffree Star slams “monster” James Charles with serious allegations Bunnie Xo/TikTik, James Charles/YouTubeJeffree Star has opened up about his former friend and beauty influencer, James Charles, and he didn’t hold back when he accused Charles of being a “monster”. It’s been four years since Tati Westbrook made her video accusing James Charles of inappropriate behavior. The video took over the internet, causing Charles to lose hundreds of thousands of subscribers as viewers rescinded their support for him. Jeffree Star was soon dragged into the drama after Tati revealed in a second video that Jeffree and Shane Dawson had driven her to create her initial exposé. This sparked a significant backlash against both stars, who both went on to take a break from YouTube. Four years later, Jeffree and Shane have both returned to social media. Jeffree, who recently opened his meat and makeup store in Wyoming, has finally decided to open up about his thoughts on James Charles – and he didn’t hold back. Jeffree Star calls James Charles the “most vile human” Jeffree recently appeared on Bunnie Xo’s podcast, Dumb Blonde. During the interview, Jeffree opens up about how he built an iconic brand from nothing, why he decided to leave LA for his Yak farm in Wyoming, and how he thinks the online beauty community was destroyed by Tati’s video. “This is a tricky conversation, so let me word this the right way,” Jeffree started. “I got cocky and thought that I could ‘expose’ someone else’s drama and story to ex out someone else,” Jeffree started. “That person did not want me to, therefore this person is still free. And to see this person still out there, they’re not thriving like they used to be at all, it’s just interesting. “But the industry does have demonic snakes. He’s the biggest piece of shit in the beauty industry. And he allegedly has done a lot of horrible things. He admitted to talking to minors, he is a f**king piece of shit.” “So that is true? See I always stay out of the drama,” Bunnie said. “He did a video allegedly, not allegedly, admitting to sleeping with minors. One of the most vile human beings on this planet,” Jeffree said. “And I have never really talked or addressed these things, but he is a literal f**king monster.” He continued: “People aren’t ready for the truth. Everyone wants to keep their mouths shut – why? If someone is bad, let people know. You have A-List celebrities literally using this shit – yes Kim Kardashian, we’re talking to you. You’re using his makeup? “ “You’ll have to tell me who it is so I can stay clear of that human,” Bunnie said. “Oh, his name is James Charles,” Jeffree said bluntly.

Jeffree Star sparks rumors after claiming NBA players are in his DMs – Dexerto
Jeffree Star sparks rumors after claiming NBA players are in his DMs Instagram: jeffreestarMake-up and beauty influencer Jeffree Star has responded to a mocking tweet by claiming that he currently has three NBA players in his DM’s, and social media immediately went wild. Jeffree Star has never been one to shy away from attention, having built a loyal fanbase and huge career out of his forthright nature alongside his talent and eye for what is and isn’t great. Now, he has responded to a tweet mocking him to exemplify that no matter what you say about him, he will always be able to one-up you. A Twitter user posted a screenshot of him searching for Star’s height, which returned the fact that he is 6’1”, saying that “bro was playing with the wrong balls,” a clear dig at his homosexuality. Although the user clearly thought he had made a great joke, Star’s sassy response made it even better, by reversing the basketball joke and proving that he is a star true to his name. Before thanking them for their concern, Jeffree said that “there are currently three NBA players in [my] DM‘s right now,” not needing to say any more to prove that he had come off looking better – and sparking up a Twitter storm. There are currently three NBA players in my DM‘s right now, but thank you for the concern ❤️ — Jeffree Star (@JeffreeStar) March 10, 2020 Many people responded to the tweet saying that Jeffree is “capping,” not believing that he would have any NBA stars DM’ing him for any reason, while some fans even responded to it hoping it wasn’t their players, perhaps wanting them to focus on clinching an NBA playoff spot instead of DM’ing influencers. Of course, it’s hard to tell whether or not Star is telling the truth. It would be very odd to lie about, but stranger things have happened and with his recent split from long-term boyfriend Nathan Schwandt, he might be looking for a new man in his life. If there are any NBA players in his DMs, it would be super interesting to find out who – but it seems that information might be staying in the DMs for now.

Jeffree Star stunned after receiving rather bizarre Instagram message – Dexerto
Jeffree Star stunned after receiving rather bizarre Instagram message Instagram: @jeffreestar / UnsplashMakeup mogul Jeffree Star is well-known for being transparent with fans when it comes to his products and his life, and now he’s shared a rather bizarre Instagram message that had followers in stitches. We can all relate to being sent a weird message at least once in our lives, whether it be an email from a stranger, a Skype note from a friend or acquaintance, or a text message from a family member. With the rise of social media, though, you have to wonder what influencers and celebrities’ inboxes look like, especially in today’s day and age where sending a DM can be done with just one simple click. Jeffree Star’s bizarre Instagram DM On January 25, the 34-year-old uploaded a screenshot to Twitter from a “new fan” of his who shared a rather ‘too much information’ story with the YouTuber. “You gained a new fan today my friend,” the message read. “The wife gave me a good [inappropriate act] today but I have to buy her the supreme box for $140. Where can I buy [it]?” In response, Star tweeted the image with the caption “Good to know…” with three laughing emojis, clearly shocked yet amused by what he’d been sent. Good to know… 😂😂😂 #mysterybox #jesustakethewheel pic.twitter.com/TiAAziCBAN — Jeffree Star (@JeffreeStar) January 26, 2020 The “supreme box” the sender was talking about was in reference to a product from the American’s makeup line Jeffree Star Cosmetics, which sells three tiers “mystery boxes” filled with surprise items for holidays such as Halloween and Christmas. For Valentine’s Day on February 14, the company is selling the third tier “supreme” box for $145, and it seems as though the messenger’s wife was looking to cop one this season, and traded favors with her husband in order to get one. The sets usually disappear quickly due to being one of the YouTube star’s best-selling product lines as the contents inside are usually worth a lot more than the price paid for the boxes. NEW MYSTERY BOX ALERT 🆘 THIS Friday JAN. 31st we are launching ALL NEW Valentine’s merch AND insane mystery boxes! 🔑❤️ We plan to redeem ourselves from the holiday and bring you the most epic launch 🔥 Mark the calendar and don’t be late! #JeffreeStarCosmetics pic.twitter.com/cBlyAqsbzk — Jeffree Star (@JeffreeStar) January 25, 2020 The whole situation just goes to show that nobody is immune to receiving strange messages – not even multi-millionaire makeup mogul Jeffree Star. Though, the brief glimpse fans saw of his Instagram inbox is probably just the tip of a rather large iceberg – at least he could see the funny side of it.

Jeffree Star slams critics after being accused of mistreating his dogs – Dexerto
Jeffree Star slams critics after being accused of mistreating his dogs Jeffree Star, YouTubeYouTuber and makeup mogul Jeffree Star is a known dog lover, owning a grand total of six Pomeranian pooches, who recently became a topic of controversy after one pup fell ill. Star’s four Pomeranians, Diva, Delicious, Drama and Da Vinci, have received two new siblings, with the YouTuber welcoming a duo of puppies earlier this month. However, these most recent additions to his furry family aren’t the topic of current drama, as Star revealed that his eleven-year-old Diva has been dealing with tummy trouble in a Tweet on April 17. “My eleven-year-old dog, Diva, is at the vet right now with swollen abdominal issues, so they are giving him medicine and an ultrasound and X-Rays,” he revealed. “He’s smiling and in really good spirits. I’m probably more nervous than he is.” Hi anxiety, how are ya? 🐶 My 11 year old dog Diva, is at the vet right now with swollen abdominal issues so they are giving him medicine and an ultrasound and x-rays! He’s smiling and in really good spirits, I’m probably more nervous than he is — Jeffree Star (@JeffreeStar) April 17, 2020 Despite his affirmations that Diva was being well taken care of by a veterinarian, one fan appeared to accuse the YouTuber of mistreating his pomeranians by feeding them low-quality food in a backhanded reply to his post. “I love you Jeffree Star, but your dogs seem to have a lot of issues,” the critic replied. “What are you feeding your babies? Hope it’s not fast (processed) food! Honey! Hope all is well!” I love you @JeffreeStar , but your dogs seem to have a lot of issues. What are you feeding your babies? Hope its not fast (processed) food! Honey! Hope all is well! ? — Forrestt GREGG Johnson (@SupaDupaGregg) April 17, 2020 Like any protective pet parent, Star clapped back at the critic’s insinuations, taking special care to note his dog’s age and the fact that Diva and his siblings are given only the best care under the roof of his “Pomeranian Palace.” “Wow, I’m signing off the internet for today,” Star wrote. “Diva is ELEVEN and has had a perfect life. Just sharing him being sick when all the other dogs are fine is scary and worrisome. And I’m not acknowledging the food, they are treated like royalty.” While Jeffree has since deleted his Tweet responding to the critic, fans have since come out en masse against the comment, similarly noting how well he treats his pups and that the breed tends to have health issues. Diva’s recent stint at the vet follows the passing of Star’s late Pomeranian, Diamond, in 2019 — so it comes as little surprise that he’d be worried about another one of his furry friends, after taking such a difficult loss just over a year ago.

Jeffree Star slams Mikayla Nogueira’s “bizarre” L’Oreal mascara review TikTok: jeffreestar, mikaylanogueiraBeauty guru Jeffree Star called out TikTok star Mikayla Nogueira after she posted a glowing review of L’Oreal’s Telescoptic Lift mascara, claiming she was paid to embellish the product. Mikayla Nogueira is a makeup artist and influencer, who boasts over 14 million followers on TikTok. Recently, she posted a comprehensive review of L’Oreal’s Telescoptic Lift mascara, which she claimed made her eyelashes so long and dense that they mimicked falsies. In the video, viewers can see that her eyelashes are certainly darker, longer, and thicker than before… but not everyone is convinced that the mascara is really that good, despite her claims to the contrary. “This literally just changed my life,” she said of the mascara. “This looks like false lashes. What? How?” Viewers are nonplussed — and the discourse around her review has gotten so strong that her video has racked up over 26 million views at the time of writing, with users expressing their doubts in the comments. “Looks like Ardell whispies to me,” one user wrote. “I know cluster lashes when I see ’em,” another said. Even legendary makeup mogul Jeffree Star has weighed in on the situation — and he says that Nogueira is “lying” about the product. In a TikTok video uploaded on January 26, Star tried out the mascara for himself… and his results were quite different from the thick and voluminous lashes Mikayla had after trying the mascara. Jeffree Star calls out Mikayla Nogueira’s “peculiar” mascara review “It looks peculiar,” he said of Mikayla’s look in her review. “It looks bizarre. The mascara is on, it looks cute, and all of the sudden… there’s some extra sh*t on the end.” “Mikayla, you set the tone now,” he continued. “I used to set the tone on YouTube. When I said something did not work, the f*cking internet knew I was telling the truth. So when people are distrusting you, you gotta understand why.” Ultimately, Star didn’t seem blown away by the product — nor Mikayla’s review of it. “Is it the greatest thing on the planet? No, but I’m not getting paid to say that. …be careful. Do not be influenced so easily by people, and be careful.” Thus far, Mikayla has yet to respond to Star’s claims, nor the controversy itself. This is just the latest makeup-related drama to take over TikTok amid the platform’s ongoing “mascara” trend.

Jeffree Star slammed for another “gross” palette name – Dexerto
Jeffree Star slammed for another “gross” palette name YouTube: Jeffree StarJeffree Star has caused a stir in the beauty world yet again, after announcing a brand new eyeshadow palette with a very odd name, the latest in a series of controversial branding decisions. Despite his past and present dramas in the YouTube scene, Jeffree Star has cemented himself as a powerhouse of the beauty industry, not just in the YouTube world but on a global scale. After his 2018 series with Shane Dawson “the Secret World of Jeffree Star,” viewers were introduced for the first time to the sheer expanse of his wealth, and in a later series got a glimpse into the process of creating a staple Jeffree Star palette. https://www.instagram.com/p/CAQ-oBehUUu/?utm_source=ig_embed Star received backlash in May when he announced his palette “Cremated.” Some fans insisted that the name was “insensitive to people who died and were cremated” and others said it was just in “bad taste.” He responded that people were just “bored and want[ed] to be offended by something new,” and the palette still went on to sell out completely. Then on August 14, Star announced a new palette collection launching – with an even more eyebrow-raising name. The inside of the #ORGY palettes 💦🍫🤎 The entire collection will be launching AUG. 21ST @ 10AM PST / 1PM EST 👅 #jeffreestarcosmetics pic.twitter.com/XHAg1XSaNh — Jeffree Star (@JeffreeStar) August 14, 2020 The backlash has returned, with the announcement of his new nude eyeshadow palette with a substantially more risqué name. Fans began to call him out following his initial announcement on Twitter. “You’re aware like 12 year olds buy your stuff,” one person said, “the parents would be mortified.” Others called it “gross.” You’re aware like 12 year olds buy your stuff. They’re gonna be asking their parents “can you get me jeffree star’s orgy collection?”. The parent would be mortified. I hate it lmao — Flynn (@xits_flynnx) August 13, 2020 GROSS younger audiences buy your stuff. Why would you call it this — MissingNo (@missingno6969) August 14, 2020 Some people defended the name, however, pointing out that companies such as Benefit have products like ‘Better Than Sex” mascara, which has cemented itself as a staple product used by a wide age range. If people give you shit for this title, NARS has a blush named orgasm there’s a mascara called better than sex, there’s so much “sexual” terms in the makeup industry — Angela Marie (@peaches1813) August 13, 2020 However, YouTube seems to agree that the marketing is a little too much, as the video announcing the palette was pushed back after YouTube seemed to deem the thumbnail “too sexual” according to Star. Slight delay on my video reveal upload… 😂🤎💦👅 #YouTube said my thumbnail was too sexual so I’m switching it out and doing a re-edit! — Jeffree Star (@JeffreeStar) August 14, 2020 In an instagram story, Star explained that the controversial name was as a result of the huge 30-pan range of tones in what he described as an “or*y of nudes.” Though this doesn’t seem to have calmed the uproar. The full range, including the nude palette, will be launching on August 21.

Jeffree Star slams “awful” lies made by fake account impersonating ex – Dexerto
Jeffree Star slams “awful” lies made by fake account impersonating ex YouTube: Jeffree Star[jwplayer mgzBNoPb]YouTuber and makeup mogul Jeffree Star took the online world by storm after accusing his ex-boyfriend of stealing from him — but things got out of control after supposedly fake Instagram accounts began spreading serious rumors about the situation. After his breakup with longterm boyfriend Nathan Schwandt in January, Star began publicly seeing professional basketball player Andre Marhold. Their relationship sparked drama from the start, though, after accusations flew around the internet claiming that Marhold was actually married with a child, as told by the alleged account of his son’s mother. However, Star was quick to debunk these accusations — but it doesn’t look like the gossip stayed put for long, as the YouTuber later claimed that Marhold had stolen a few designer items from him following their private split sometime in September. While it’s no secret that Star boasts his fair share of haters, it seems that some critics have been creating fake Instagram accounts pretending to be Marhold, accusing Star of having a sexually transmitted disease. That’s not all: One purported “backup” account of Marhold’s also alleged that Star had cheated on Schwandt with his friend, even posting a now-confirmed fake photo of STD medication as “proof” the YouTuber was “hiding” his supposed condition from fans. Star has since addressed the rumors in a series of direct messages sent to Twitter user “defnoodles,” confirming that the allegations were made from falsified accounts. “I can confirm that those pages are fake,” he wrote. “Andre posted to report the main one that insinuated all those horrible and awful lies. …we are already working on legal action investigating.” Star went on to explain that he had also gotten tested after he and Andre parted ways, confirming that “everything came back 100% negative.” The beauty guru even posted a screenshot from a person seemingly behind one of the fake accounts that had spread rumors about him, who sent him a direct message that claimed the entire fiasco was “a game.” Yet another account posing as Marhold appeared to decry the fake Instagram accounts, stating that he’d never even slept with Star and that he had actually been hired to pose as his boyfriend in an effort to clean up his image. He likewise denied Star’s allegations of having stolen from him, claiming that he’d been given the designer luggage Star accused him of stealing – although the account has since been revealed as fake. Although this is far from the only fiasco surrounding Star at present, it seems the ex-boyfriend drama has been thoroughly debunked, stirring up some conversation around the morality of “exposing” someone’s purported medical history to the entire internet.

Jeffree Star shares the “truth” about ranch after yak meat scandal – Dexerto
Jeffree Star shares the “truth” about ranch after yak meat scandal YouTube: Jeffree StarYouTuber, makeup mogul, and now rancher Jeffree Star is opening up about the outrage he’s received online after announcing that his ranch is selling yak meat. In 2020, Jeffree Star moved from his sprawling California mansion to a decidedly less crowded locale in Casper, Wyoming. There, Star purchased a second home and 80 acres of land, which has become the basis for his latest business endeavor: Star Ranch. Star Ranch is now a sprawling 600 acres large and is home to a slew of yaks — a shaggy, domesticated wild ox that originated in Central Asia. While this was certainly an unexpected move for the music artist, makeup mogul, and marijuana manufacturer, fans were happy to see him take on this new chapter in his life… until he announced that he was selling yak meat in May 2022. The backlash that ensued prompted Star to post several videos explaining the situation, where he hit back at criticism over the ordeal and revealed that he’d donated yak meat from his ranch to his local community. Now, Star is speaking out even further about the yak meat madness. In a June 6 YouTube video, Jeffree clarified the kerfuffle, saying that the yaks he raises for meat are not the same animals he raises as pets or for breeding purposes. “People are so crazy,” he said. “I think city folk don’t understand farming. There was a very big misconception that, when I announced I was gonna start selling meat, people thought it was all of my pets I’ve been spending the last year and a half with. Sorry! They’re all right here.” View this post on Instagram According to Star, yak meat is one of the healthiest red meats there is — and it’s true. Experts say that yak meat is low in both saturated fat and cholesterol, and some claim that it’s even healthier than fish or chicken. “Yes, it may seem a little interesting to some people, or you were a little perturbed that I am raising yaks for breeding and pets, and then, yes we are also raising yaks for food,” he added. “Yak meat is so amazing. It’s actually the leanest, healthiest red meat in America, and no one is talking about it.” Read More: Top 5 music artists to follow on Instagram – He also hit out at rumors claiming that he’d meant to raise yaks for meat in the beginning of his ranching endeavors. “There was never a plan to raise yaks for meat in the beginning,” he said. “I know some people can’t fathom that, and they want to say I’m a liar. Girl, I’ve been living out in paradise. When I learned more about the animal, I was like oh, I want to try doing stuff like that.” (Topic begins at 6:17) For now, it looks like Jeffree Star will continue his latest business venture with his fluffy yak friends. It’s hard for the haters to bother you when you’re in ‘paradise,’ after all.

Jeffree Star reveals why he took back Aston Martin he gave to ex Nathan – Dexerto
Jeffree Star reveals why he took back Aston Martin he gave to ex Nathan Jeffree Star, Instagram / YouTubeYouTuber and makeup mogul Jeffree Star confirmed rumors that he’d split with longtime boyfriend Nathan Schwandt in January — but their breakup is still making waves months later, thanks to an update on an old video. Star surprised Nathan by selling his Bentley for a brand-new Aston Martin, which he recorded and uploaded in a video in summer 2019 — a vehicle he claimed was his “dream car.” While Schwandt seemed fairly nonplussed by the goings-on, it stood as a testament to their relationship that Star would make such a huge purchase for his boyfriend. However, it turns out that the entire surprise was staged, as Star revealed nearly a year later after updating the video’s description following their parting in January. According to the beauty guru, they’d completely faked the entire stunt, with Star claiming that he’d received “hundreds” of questions from fans asking about the fate of the luxury car. “The car was always mine and in my name,” he explained. “I paid for it and always dreamed of owning an Aston Martin from watching James Bond 007 movies as a kid! We did this video to create content and do something fun, but sadly, this was us acting and was not a real, genuine surprise.” That’s not all; Star even updated the video’s title from “Surprising my boyfriend with his dream car!” to “Pretending to surprise my ex-boyfriend with his dream car” — but both the new title and video description have been removed by the time of writing. Despite the tone surrounding Star’s explanation, his emotional video about his breakup with Schwandt claimed that their split was mutual, with Star stating that they still have love for each other in spite of deciding to end their five-year relationship. “A few years ago, Nathan lost his grandfather in a very tragic way,” Star explained. “We lost two dogs last year… We still haven’t even fully processed that. He hasn’t fully processed his grandfather. We haven’t even fully processed our dogs fully because this lifestyle is so crazy.” Fans’ questions regarding the matter are finally sated, with Star providing some tongue-in-cheek humor in spite of their painful split. Now, it seems that the star is tying up any loose ends in the fallout — including his pricey Aston Martin.

Jeffree Star shades Addison Rae over “spoiled brat” comment – Dexerto
Jeffree Star shades Addison Rae over “spoiled brat” comment YouTube: Jeffree Star, James CharlesMakeup mogul Jeffree Star threw some shade toward TikTok sensation Addison Rae, referencing a livestream she did with Mason Disick where he was called a “spoiled brat.” Jeffree Star is making his way back into the limelight after moving away from Los Angeles in favor of his 500-acre yak ranch in Wyoming back in 2021. After recently unveiling his latest makeup collection, Cotton Candy Queen, Star made an appearance on the BFFs Podcast to spill the tea on his relationships with other influencers. Although Star has seemingly distanced himself from the YouTube beauty scene — and has made his thoughts quite clear on some of the net’s biggest beauty gurus — he wasted no time dishing on a few of social media’s biggest creators… namely, Addison Rae. During a segment of the pod, Star was asked to give his opinion on Rae, who is one of TikTok’s most-followed creators and has even branched into the acting biz, scoring a role in the upcoming horror flick ‘Thanksgiving.’ Jeffree Star says he’s “indifferent” toward Addison Rae According to Jeffree, he’s mostly “indifferent” toward Rae — but he did mention a 2020 live stream the TikToker did alongside Mason Disick, Kourtney Kardashian’s young son, where Disick called Star a “spoiled brat.” “She was on Instagram Live with Kourney Kardashian’s little son, which I thought was bizarre by itself,” he said. “They had a little sh*t talk moment.” “This was a funny joke, because Mason said that I was a ‘spoiled brat,’ and I think he was being funny? But I don’t think an 11-year-old could have that much sarcasm. …The irony was so heavy that I didn’t even bother. It’s kind of iconic.” (Topic begins at 29 mins) In the live stream, Disick does call Jeffree Star a ‘spoiled brat,’ but Addison Rae doesn’t say anything. Instead, it appears that the TikToker got distracted by something off-camera before getting back into the conversation and claiming she “loves” James Charles. (Topic begins at 12:57) It’s clear that Jeffree isn’t bothered by the whole ordeal… but why would he be? Star recently revealed he went on a three-day shopping spree where he spent half a million dollars. With that kind of cash, we wouldn’t be worried, either.

Jeffree Star reveals he’s leaving California: “It’s time to move on” – Dexerto
Jeffree Star reveals he’s leaving California: “It’s time to move on” YouTube: Jeffree StarYouTuber and makeup mogul Jeffree Star has revealed he’s officially leaving California, citing loneliness and mental health concerns throughout the past year as reasons for exiting the Golden State. Jeffree Star is one of the most popular beauty gurus on the net. Rising to stardom in the MySpace age, Star transitioned from music artist to makeup mogul almost effortlessly, becoming YouTube’s prized authority on all things glam. However, Star has notably been involved in a slew of drama over the past few years. The scandal with James Charles and Tati Westbrook was just one of a slew of incidents he was named in, making for a turbulent 2020 for the influencer. Star was later involved in a severe rollover car accident in early 2021, causing him to wear a back brace. This accident followed the death of one of his many beloved Pomeranian dogs, as well as his noted breakup from ex-boyfriend Nathan Schwandt. A few hours ago Jeffree and Daniel were in a severe car accident and the car flipped 3 times after hitting black ice 💔 We will update you all when the doctor gives us more info. So thankful they are both alive. pic.twitter.com/ZIyikskJlq — Jeffree Star (@JeffreeStar) April 16, 2021 All of these issues snowballed for Star in 2020, prompting him to seek therapy and address his mental health in a tell-all video on June 15, 2021. “For the first time in my life, at 35 years old, I am finally leaving California,” Star admitted. “I am gonna sell this house. …2020, and I think I’ve said this a million times, but it really took it out of me.” “Me, personally for my mental health, and the next chapter of my life and my journey, I need to step away. …I really needed to do it for me. This decision was astronomically hard.” Star claimed that, while Jeffree Star Cosmetics and Killer Merch will still remain in and operate out of California, he will be making a permanent home for himself in Wyoming, where he lived part-time up until recently. That wasn’t the only issue Star brought up in his somber video; he likewise apologized for the landslide of drama he’d been part of over the past year, stating that he’d “slipped into” a “Regina George” character in the YouTube beauty scene. “This is just me saying, I’m sorry to anyone I’ve ever hurt,” he continued. “I’m sorry that I let people hurt me. I’m sorry I trusted so hard with friends in my past. But a lot of times, I amplified things when I should have shut up.” Thus far, Star’s video has been met with understanding and acclaim from his fans, who are happy that Star is receiving therapy for his mental health and is taking time to focus on his personal life amidst the YouTube drama mill.

Jeffree Star reveals NFL ‘boo’ after cryptic social media posts – Dexerto
Jeffree Star reveals NFL ‘boo’ after cryptic social media posts Twitter: JeffreeStarJeffree Star has revealed his NFL ‘boo’ as Taylor Lewan after several cryptic social media posts, but the pair are actually just filming a podcast together.

He captioned the image: “Goodbye LA, time to spend time with my #NFL boo in Wyoming.” Rumors quickly started, and Jeffree fueled them even more when he posted another picture of the back of the mystery player, writing: “His team didn’t make it to the #SuperBowl but he’s 6’6 and plays perfect in the bedroom.” Jeffree finally appeared to reveal the identity of his mystery ‘boo’ as Tennessee Titans’ Taylor Lewan in a TikTok uploaded on February 10. “Who’s ready for #Superbowl Sunday?” Star wrote, including the hashtag ‘#boo.’ However, the pair actually appear to just be filming an episode for the ‘Bussin’ With The Boys’ podcast. In a February 10 tweet, Jeffree shared a picture of the both of them speaking into microphones, writing: “When two worlds collide… Makeup x #NFL. Just wrapped up filming the @BussinWTB podcast w. @TaylorLewan77.” Many fans were quick to point out, however, that the man in the original pictures appeared to have shorter hair than Taylor. “I don’t think that’s his partner cuz on the other TikTok vid the guy had short hair,” one user wrote. “Guys look at the last video there’s no way he grew his hair out that fast,” said another. It’s not clear whether there’s more to Jeffree’s cryptic social media posts about his ‘boo’ apart from the podcast episode, but regardless, rumors and theories are continuing to take over the YouTuber’s comment sections on social media.

Jeffree Star reveals “dark” drama behind breakup with ex-boyfriend Nathan – Dexerto
Jeffree Star reveals “dark” drama behind breakup with ex-boyfriend Nathan Jeffree Star, YouTubeYouTube star and makeup mogul Jeffree Star admitted to his highly-speculated split with ex-boyfriend Nathan Schwandt in early 2020 — but it seems that there’s more to their breakup than he initially let on. While Star has been decidedly silent on the subject after uploading a video explaining their parting in January, he shocked fans across the net after updating the title and description of an older upload from 2019. The video’s original title, “Surprising my boyfriend with his dream car,” was changed to, “Pretending to surprise my ex-boyfriend with his dream car,” with Star explaining in the description that he’d taken the vehicle back due to the title being in his name. Although he quickly changed the video’s title and description after fans caught on the change, he later reverted his edits, explaining why he’d made the unexpected revisions in a house tour on March 28. During a walkthrough of his expansive garage, Star revealed that there is more going on behind the scenes of his breakup with Schwandt than he’s willing to tell fans, claiming that he’s been emotionally damaged due to the fallout. “I think I acted out because I am kind of going through it,” he admitted. “There’s a lot of stuff — really dark, ugly stuff — happening behind the scenes since the breakup. I’ve been devastated, honestly.” The YouTuber went on to explain that he hasn’t opened up about this drama due to fear that fans might misconstrue his explanation, and even voiced concerns of potential legal trouble, should he speak up on the subject. (Topic begins at 19:54 for mobile readers) “I don’t want to say that, because I’m afraid of being degraded online,” he continued. “I’m afraid of people misconstruing what I’m saying and going with it somewhere else. I’ve been going through it. I really have. …even legally, for my protection, I don’t want to say anything.” He ended his talk by asking that fans respect his privacy in regards to the breakup — but despite going through such a hard time, Star continues to thrive, supporting both his employees and fans during current global turmoil.

Jeffree Star reveals he’s had “zero” contact with Tati Westbrook & James Charles since fallout – Dexerto
Jeffree Star reveals he’s had “zero” contact with Tati Westbrook & James Charles since fallout YouTube: E!In an exclusive interview with E! Online, Jeffree Star spilled the tea on the current state of his relationship with Tati Westbrook and James Charles, as well as confirming his ongoing friendship with YouTuber Shane Dawson. Jeffree made the revelations as part of an interview with E! Online reporter Denny Directo on June 26. On Shane Dawson, Jeffree said: “We’re still really great friends and always will be. He took a really long break and did a lot of self reflection, and I’m really proud of that and I’m proud of our [Conspiracy] collection.” Shane has remained largely offline since June 2020 following accusations of racism amongst other things. However, he recently hinted at a comeback to the internet. Meanwhile, Star admitted during his interview that his relationship with both Tati and James remained at a zero, explaining that he hadn’t spoken to either of them in over two years. Star’s relationship with Charles and Westbrook has been fractured since the release of Tati’s explosive ‘Bye Sister’ video, which came out in June 2019. In the video, which marked the start of ‘Dramageddon 2.0’, Westbrook called out Charles for allegedly manipulating straight men into sexual relationships with him alongside other allegations. While Jeffree doubled down on these accusations at the time, calling James a “predator” on Twitter, Tati later released another video the following year in which she accused Shane Dawson and Jeffree of feeding her “poisonous” lies about James and manipulating her to turn against him. Star recently revealed in a tell-all video that he was leaving California for Wyoming, citing mental health concerns following a traumatic car accident earlier this year that left him in a backbrace. In the video, he also admitted that he “slipped into” a “Regina George” character within the YouTube beauty community. With the YouTube beauty community’s “Mean Girls” looking to be well and truly disbanded, it will be interesting to see where the community, and Jeffree, go from here.

Jeffree Star responds to backlash over new palette defects – Dexerto
Jeffree Star responds to backlash over new palette defects Instagram: Jeffree Star / Twitter: akaelundyMakeup industry giant Jeffree Star has responded to backlash over the defects in his new eyeshadow palette, claiming that it was an issue originating in the lab and only affected a small batch. Jeffree’s new palette was borne into controversy. Immediately upon its announcement, people criticized its outlandish name that many considered inappropriate given Jeffree’s fan base of varying ages, including very young teens. While it received some initial backlash, the palette still had people flocking to his wesbite to purchase the oddly named product, with many fans excited to try Jeffree’s well known high-quality formula. Many turned out to be disappointed, however, as reports started emerging of defects within certain shades, in both the regular size and the mini version of the palette. Customers reported “little pellets” in shades Glass Wet and Foam Party, with a crumbly texture very unlike the smooth formula usually found in a Jeffree Star cosmetics product. https://twitter.com/coraly_bb/status/1300563954088005633 Others uploaded pictures showing that the shade pans were loose and falling out, with that issue alongside the formula issues proving the palette to be “unusable.” Jeffree himself responded on September 5 via an Instagram story. “I do need to go and be a boss right now, and go scream at my makeup lab. We have a production issue with the mini o*gy palette.” https://twitter.com/defnoodles/status/1302058772727173125 “When you upscale a project and make 100,000, 200,000, 300,000 units, there sometimes can be issues. And sadly the lab can f**k up. We did have a small batch issue with one of them.” “But you know me y’all, if anyone ever has an issue with my products I have an amazing customer service team that will handle anyone’s issues.” He said that he “has to go and make a few phone calls” to his team, but is reassuring of the fact that those issues should be resolved soon. It’s currently unclear exactly what caused the “small batch issue,” whether that be an issue with the machinery or with quality control. But regardless, it’s clear that fans had higher expectations of Jeffree Star Cosmetics than this.

Jeffree Star reveals “aggressive mental abuse” from Shane Dawson scandal – Dexerto
Jeffree Star reveals “aggressive mental abuse” from Shane Dawson scandal YouTube: The Sip with Ryland Adams and Lizze GordonYouTuber and makeup mogul Jeffree Star has finally opened up about the drama from this past summer, which kicked off after critics accused he and fellow influencer Shane Dawson of attempting to sabotage beauty guru James Charles. Jeffree Star is a huge name in the influencer world. Starting out as a MySpace icon and music artist, Star later migrated to YouTube, where he cultivated a massive community of fans and even kicked off his own makeup brand. Now, Jeffree Star Cosmetics is a company held in high regard among makeup circles, but recent drama has placed a shadow over the brand’s owner. In summer 2020, controversy sparked regarding Shane Dawson and Jeffree Star after rumors began circulating online that the two had orchestrated the canceling of James Charles in May 2019. This speculation heightened after Tati Westbrook — a beauty YouTuber behind the “Bye Sister” video of viral fame — accused Star and Dawson of feeding her “poisonous lies” about Charles, which had purportedly led her to create the 2019 video. The entire scandal was also wrapped up in multiple additional controversies surrounding both Star and Dawson, which even saw the involvement of Jada Pinkett Smith amid the outrage. However, the summer has come and gone, and Star has now opened up about what it was like being at the center of intense internet vitriol. “When everything happened this summer, it was just all so… it was just a lot,” Star explained during an episode of the ‘The Sip’ podcast with Dawson’s fiancé, Ryland Adams. “It was so mentally draining and crazy. It was traumatic.” “I had never experienced that before,” he continued, revealing that he’d even been told to end his own life by critics. “To continuously hear that over and over and over… it was so crazy. The new normal became aggressive mental abuse. But I’m not trying to say that for sympathy.” (Topic begins at 17:38) Star’s statement on the drama has been met with mixed reviews, with some feeling that he is “refusing to take accountability,” while others show sympathy toward the YouTuber in wake of the overwhelming negative reactions he received. What’s your take on Star’s story? Let us know on Twitter @DexertoTrending!
