Jeffree Star pleads with stalkers to stop coming to his home: “I’m asking nicely” YouTube: Jeffree StarYouTuber and makeup mogul Jeffree Star is pleading with stalkers to stop showing up at his second home in Wyoming following his “severe” car accident just two weeks ago. Being a top-tier influencer can certainly seem like a charmed life. Having millions of followers, extremely profitable brand deals and living a luxurious lifestyle are all huge benefits to the career, after all. However, not everything about being a social media star is a plus; a significant portion of influencers have come out with horror stories of being stalked and harassed due to their online fame… and now, another huge name has come out with similar claims. Jeffree Star, YouTube sensation and founder of Jeffree Star Cosmetics, released a pointed message to his “stalkers” in late April 2021, politely but firmly asking that they refrain from showing up at his second residence in Wyoming. View this post on Instagram “I never thought that I would have to come on here and make an announcement like this,” Star stated in an Instagram story. “But I feel like some of my friends back home in LA when they come on here and are simply saying, please stop coming to my house.” “I never thought I would have to make this statement in the least populated state in America, but if you live in Wyoming — even if you don’t live in Wyoming, if you live in the nearby states — if you know where I live, please, I’m asking nicely, please stop showing up.” If you live in Wyoming or surrounding states and know where my new house is: Pease stop showing up. Please stop driving by. Please stop taking pictures. Please stop trespassing. Please stop making us feel unsafe. Please stop acting LA 😄 Thank you!!!!!! — Jeffree Star (@JeffreeStar) April 29, 2021 Those turning up at Star’s home are actually quite brave, considering the YouTuber-turned-makeup mogul hired armed guards to stand watch over his home in 2019 after similar circumstances took place. “You know girl, people are crazy nowadays, so I just gotta be fully protected y’all,” Star said after admitting to his 24-hour security detail. “You can’t play any games nowadays.” This latest stalking incident comes after Star’s serious car accident on April 18, when the YouTuber’s Rolls Royce was flipped due to icy roads. 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 While he’s in good health now, it seems that stalkers are still finding ways to invade his privacy — and it’s clear he’s not interested in entertaining them.

Jeffree Star responds after Kim K is accused of copying his eyebrows YouTube: Jeffree Star / Instagram: @kimkardasianThe one and only Kim Kardashian took a daring leap with her eyebrow look, and it doesn’t seem like the internet — nor Jeffree Star — were huge fans of the change. It’s not every day that one of the world’s biggest celebrities decides to bleach their eyebrows, but that’s exactly what reality TV star Kim Kardashian decided to do on April 29, 2021. Revealing the shocking look to her Twitter followers, Kim explained that she’d bleached her brows for a special photoshoot, showing progress photos up until the final product. It’s certainly a big change; Kim’s signature dark hair and eyebrow combo has been par for the course for much of her career, so seeing her boasting barely-there brows gave off an almost hairless vibe that had many comparing her to makeup mogul Jeffree Star. Today’s bleached brows for a special shoot pic.twitter.com/SBNQCqNnrr — Kim Kardashian (@KimKardashian) April 30, 2021 Jeffree Star is known for shaving off his brows to create exactly the makeup looks he wants — whether that be bright pink brows or something more demure. Kim’s latest photo spawned a ton of hilarious comments, with quite a few Twitter users claiming she was attempting to imitate Star in an effort to get back ex-husband Kanye West — a joke that spawned due to romance rumors that spawned between the two in January. Luckily, the entire ordeal was proven false after TikToker Ava Louise admitted she made it all up for the lulz (and allegedly made quite a bag from the rumor mill, too). She turning into Jeffree star to win back Kanye💀 https://t.co/6rpXJ3Liw6 — 🎱 (@Ferhadz_Fansuri) April 30, 2021 Despite this fact, it isn’t stopping the internet from poking fun at Kim’s dramatic new look, which she has already reversed with a return to her normal brown eyebrows.

The YouTuber-turned-makeup millionaire appeared to find the entire thing hilarious, as evidenced by his response to a Tweet referencing the Star/Kanye rumors from earlier this year. “Time to log off for the day…” Star wrote, and even added an alien emoji to further drive the point home. Not everyone can pull off the eyebrow-less look like Star can, but we have to admire Kim for taking a daring leap with her usual style — even if the internet was clearly against the change.

Jeffree Star made “millions” selling huge collection of Birkin bags YouTube: Jeffree StarYouTube star and makeup mogul Jeffree Star claims he made “millions” of dollars selling his massive collection of designer bags in Shane Dawson’s latest video. In 2021, Jeffree Star sold his sprawling Hidden Hills mansion in favor of a 500-acre ranch in Wyoming, where he raises and sells yaks. Star’s “palace” of a mansion was a thing of wonder; with eleven bedrooms, a huge pool, and a massive garage for his luxury sports cars, the YouTuber was initially ecstatic to move into a new place with his then-boyfriend, Nathan. A huge part of Star’s elaborate home was his enormous collection of designer bags. The “vault” of handbags was sealed by a bulletproof door, complete with an elaborate combination lock and a fingerprint scanner. According to Star, the bags were actually a good investment, as they appreciate in value over time. By November 2022, Star is claiming that he sold “90%” of his bag collection — and made quite a fortune from them. Jeffree Star says he was “disgusted” by lavish lifestyle prior to Yak Ranch The YouTuber opened up about the subject during a vlog from bestie Shane Dawson, who flew from his new home in Colorado to Star Ranch in Wyoming to record a deep-dive in Star’s ‘retirement’ from the beauty scene. “I moved really quickly into shedding things,” Star said. “Like, I don’t want 5,000 purses anymore. I think I projected that so loud, like ‘Hey, I came from nothing. You can really do it all, and I was so loud with it, where later I became disgusted with it all and didn’t want to be surrounded by all this materialistic shit.” “I just made so much money off of selling so many purses,” he continued. “A lot of it I just wasn’t enjoying anymore and I didn’t care. I was like, ‘Wow, this little diamond bag I bought 5 years ago is now worth $300,000. It’s insane!” That’s not all; Star claims he made “millions” of dollars from selling his Birkin bags alone. (Topic begins at 26 minutes) Now, Star is enjoying life on the ranch away from the glitz and glam of Hollywood — and without the burden of millions of dollars worth of designer bags, too.

Jeffree Star officially unveils his $14.6 million “dream” mansion Makeup mogul and top YouTuber Jeffree Star has finally unveiled his new crib — and it’s a far cry from his previous “Barbie” pink home of YouTube fame. Although Star’s latest move has been plastered all over the media for the past month, he finally unveiled the entire abode during a “house tour” video on January 1 — a home he called his very own “Ceasar’s Palace.” Worth an estimated $14.6 million, Star’s new mansion boasts a sprawling pool, enormous kitchen, a theater room and a “three-story, Willy Wonka glass elevator” for easy access to each floor. Nestled in a high-profile gated community, Star’s mansion marks a testament to his monumental success as a makeup artist and CEO, a transformation he addressed at the beginning of his tour while sitting in a pagoda just outside his pool. “On a real level, six years ago, I had $500 to my name, okay?” Star said of his success. “…When I quit music, I probably had about $400 plus left. It was me, Diva and Diamond in my apartment. I had dreams of starting a makeup line, and no one would believe in me in the beginning.” Claiming that he outgrew his previous home, Star hopes to provide his mother with a comfortable stay in the sprawling estate — a stark contrast from the one bedroom apartment they shared at the beginning of his journey. Star even invited fellow YouTuber Shane Dawson to take part in the house tour, who nearly cried at the luxury of the home during the showcase of his theater room (which, of course, came complete with a bar). Reported to neighbor such celebs as actor Will Smith, Star’s massive mansion marks the pinnacle of YouTube success, following Logan Paul’s purchase of the $1 million (and allegedly haunted) Fobes Ranch in late 2019. 2020 is off to a successful start for Jeffree Star — a fitting development, considering the smashing achievement of his collaborative makeup line with Shane Dawson in November 2019.

Jeffree Star loses 100K+ subscribers after Kameron Lester’s allegations Instagram: Jeffree StarJeffree Star’s social media has bombed after he was accused of manipulation by a former friend in the beauty industry. In the last day, Jeffree has lost more than 100,000 subscribers on his YouTube channel, 17,000 twitter followers in the last week, and around 18,000 Instagram followers on JeffreeStarCosmetics. This comes after beauty YouTuber Kameron Lester posted an IGTV video officially cutting ties with Jeffree Star and Jeffree Star cosmetics. Kameron said that he felt like the ‘token black kid’ throughout their working relationship and that he felt manipulated and fearful. He said: “I just felt like it wasn’t a friendship, it was never a friendship, in the beginning, to start with, it was always something, like, I was kind of like the token Black kid.” After he began to pull away as a friend, Kameron said that Jeffree replaced him as a model in his campaign for the ‘Cremated’ line of Jeffree Star Cosmetics and that he felt it was sending a message that he was replaceable as a black man in the beauty industry. https://www.instagram.com/p/CBQ4_hVpHVS/ Kameron said: “as a Black beauty boy, I have fought for my spot to be heard and seen in the beauty community… I have been told not to say anything, to keep the network and benefit from it, and I’m just not that type of person. I want to remain authentic.” A voice memo that was allegedly sent by Jeffree in response to the video has since been leaked online and retweeted by Kameron. In the clip, he says: “You trying to flip the script and make up a bunch of lies and make me the devil, is so boring.” He was just preaching about black lives matter on his platform. Then send this to a black gay beauty boy who just said he was scared for his life because of his manipulation tactics. He sent this voice note to keep painting a narrative that I was lying and doing all this because https://t.co/ByrUVn8pmh — Kam Lester 🪐 (@kamm_lester) June 16, 2020 YouTuber ‘TAB’ later uploaded, and then deleted, a video criticizing Jeffree’s behavior online, which was then reuploaded by another user. In the video, TAB relayed some of his experiences with Jeffree including that he had once called Gwen Stefani “a very derogatory word towards Jewish people.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dz2Ef7Af7HY Shane Dawson, another YouTuber and very close friend of Jeffree Star, has also lost significant numbers of subscribers and followers. According to SocialBlade, his average daily follower growth on Instagram is currently -3901. He has lost almost 9,000 Twitter followers in the last week.

Jeffree Star loses over 100,000 YouTube subs amid apology backlash IG: JeffreeStarYouTube beauty star Jeffree Star has lost over 100,000 subscribers in the aftermath of his clash with James Charles, amid ongoing backlash for his Black Lives Matter comments in his apology video. The drama between Jeffree Star and James Charles is, in many ways, hard to follow. The pair have been at odds for upwards of a year over various feuds, seeing other popular YouTubers like Shane Dawson and Tati Westbrook drawn into the firing line as well. Star, however, accepted his wrongdoings and published a lengthy apology video to James Charles on July 18. Despite the sentiment behind the video, the beauty mogul came under fire for his references to the Black Lives Matter movement, and YouTube subs have been deserting him in droves. According to SocialBlade, Star has lost 600,000 subscribers over the past 30 days; a 500% increase on his normal subscriber loss figures. This has seen him fall from over 18 million subs to around 17.5 million at the time of writing. On Sunday 19 July, the day after Star’s apology video, SocialBlade puts his one-day subscriber loss at over 100,000. This compounds another one-day loss of 100,000 subscribers on Wednesday 8 July for similar backlash. Star also lost 100,000 subscribers on a single day back in mid-June, as allegations from a former model, Kameron Lester, took their toll against the YouTuber. As far as his YouTube following is concerned, this has been an incredibly bleak month for the American. Not only is Star’s YouTube subscriber count suffering, but he was recently dropped by make-up company Morphe amid racism allegations. While Star’s apology was accepted by many, it seems that there are hundreds of thousands of YouTube subs who have grown tired with the frequent controversies he finds himself in. Whether his most recent video draws a line under it remains to be seen, but the 34-year-old has fans sticking by him, and deserting him. Only time will tell.

Jeffree Star & Jaclyn Hill call out “disgusting” Dan & Nikki Phillippi for putting their dog down YouTube: Jeffree Star, NikkiPhillippiFamily YouTubers Dan and Nikki Phillippi are not in the internet’s good graces after revealing they’d put down their dog due to an unfortunate child bite — and their fellow YouTubers seem far from jazzed about the ordeal. Dan and Nikki Phillippi are a relatively popular duo of YouTubers who film their daily lives with their son Logan and their dogs — one of whom they recently put down. Their bull terrier, Bowser, had apparently bitten their son in the face after the child attempted to take food away from the dog, prompting the couple to ultimately consider laying the animal to rest. They explained that Bowser had become increasingly aggressive after being attacked as a puppy. This, combined with their toddler Logan’s attempts to “antagonize” the dog once he was able to walk, made for a potentially dangerous storm of events. Their video did not go over well with the internet, and quickly went viral for all the wrong reasons. Commenters across social media have made no qualms about calling out the couple for their decision, and neither are their fellow YouTubers. Makeup mogul and influencer Jeffree Star slammed the couple in a pointed tweet — an unsurprising response from a self-described mother of multiple Pomeranians. “It’s hard to fathom how someone could kill their own family dog and make content out of it,” Star wrote. “They need to be investigated. As a dog owner whose animals are my LIFE, this is hard to wrap my head around.” It’s hard to fathom how someone could kill their own family dog and make content out of it… They need to be investigated. As a dog owner who’s animals are my LIFE, this is hard to wrap my head around. 💔 — Jeffree Star (@JeffreeStar) May 6, 2021 Star wasn’t alone in his thinking; fellow beauty guru Jacyln Hill also called out the Phillippi’s, citing her own experiences with her “temperamental dog.” “He bites people when he feels nervous, unsafe or if you try to touch him when he doesn’t want to be,” she said. “I know these things because I’m his OWNER. Therefore I make sure he’s not in situations where he will react… I don’t kill him!” Hill also mentioned the photoshoot Dan and Nikki took with Bowser before putting him down — a shoot which included Logan being in close proximity with Bowser. https://twitter.com/Jaclynhill/status/1390349519238336517 Dan and Nikki have turned comments off on their video after being met with intense backlash over the issue, and it doesn’t seem likely that the negative feedback over their decision will end anytime soon.

Jeffree Star hits back at Kourtney Kardashian’s son for “spoiled” remark YouTube: Jeffree StarJeffree Star has hit back at Kourtney Kardashian’s son, Mason Disick, after the 10-year-old called him “spoiled AF” during an Instagram Q&A with TikTok star Addison Rae. Jeffree Star has once again put the Kardashian family in his sights. The YouTube beauty guru has taken aim at Kourtney’s 10-year-old son, Mason Disick, over comments about Star being “spoiled.” Mason Disick was doing a Q&A on Instagram with TikTok star Addison Rae, when James Charles dropped a question asking “who’s Mason’s favorite beauty guru?” While the 10-year-old admitted he doesn’t watch many make-up YouTubers, he shot a snide remark at Jeffree Star for being “spoiled.” “I don’t really watch makeup YouTubers, but I think James [Charles] maybe? He’s really nice,” Kourtney’s oldest son said. “Jeffree Star is, like, spoiled AF.” For mobile readers, the related segment begins at 12:26. It wasn’t the comment about the best YouTuber that got to Star, but rather the “spoiled” one. He responded to the 10-year-old, saying that he was “confused with his own privilege.” “I had $500 in my bank account six years ago,” Star said in a now-deleted tweet. “Maybe he’s confused with his own privilege versus mine being self-made, hopefully his father can educate him soon.” The tweet got the attention of plenty of Star’s fans, who also jumped to his defense. The 34-year-old professes on all platforms that his fortunes on social media — including almost 18 million YouTube subscribers, 16 million Instagram followers, over 7 million Twitter followers — were all garnered through hard work, not off the back of his parents. Kourtney Kardashian deleted her son’s account shortly after the Instagram videos went viral, mentioning she doesn’t want her son exposed to social media just yet. “I think on Instagram, the thing that really worries me with kids is just comments,” she said in her own video. “People can be so mean. It’s really easy to get consumed with it. I just feel it’s not the time.” Instagram’s terms of use also states that account holders must be over the age of 13 to use the platform.

Jeffree Star is dating a mystery NFL player and the internet is abuzz Twitter: Jeffree Star, Instagram: Jeffree StarMakeup mogul Jeffree Star has been teasing that he’s dating a new romantic partner for several days now, leading some to suspect a current NFL player. One of the biggest makeup artists on social media, Star began as a musician on Myspace and YouTube before becoming one of the biggest creators in the makeup and beauty scene. Star has been involved in several heated rivalries within the space, including famous feuds with James Charles, Tati Westbrook, Kylie Jenner, and even Kim Kardashian. But he had also been in a very public relationship with partner Nathan Schwandt before the pair broke up in 2020. Now, Star appears to have a new flame but fans don’t know who that is. Jeffree Star teases mystery NFL boyfriend The YouTuber sent his corner of Twitter abuzz when he posted a photo on January 27, 2023, holding hands with another man on a private plane. Star described this person as his “#NFL boo” and ended the tweet with a football emoji, leading fans on a detective hunt to see who this mystery man could be. He added flames to the fire a few days later, when he showed a picture of the back of the player with the caption “[h]is team didn’t make it to the #SuperBowl but he’s 6’6 and plays perfect in the bedroom.” This new clue, his partner’s height, has given internet detectives more ways to narrow down who the mystery NFL player might be. At the time of writing, the only openly-gay NFL player is Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Carl Nassib, but he is in a committed relationship with Danish swimmer Søren Dahl as of early January 2023. Some theorized that the orange as well as the timing could indicate that the player is on the Cincinnati Bengals, who were just eliminated from the playoffs. Cleveland Browns players Jack Conklin and Ethan Pocic fit due to their heights as well as the orange from both their team’s uniforms and the jacket. Another popular theory is that the orange is a red herring, and the mystery man is Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, who is the same height and attended college at the University of Wyoming, where the two are right now. For now, Jeffree Star and his mystery football man are choosing to keep their relationship under wraps.

Jeffree Star is “down” to box other YouTubers after James Charles & Tati Westbrook drama YouTube: IMPAULSIVE / Tati / James CharlesMakeup mogul Jeffree Star is willing to get into the influencer boxing space — especially after the past drama he went through regarding James Charles and Tati Westbrook. The influencer boxing bug is taking over social media as creators from all walks of life are looking to settle their beef with other personalities in the ring. Names like Jake and Logan Paul, alongside major boxing events, such as iDubbbz’s Creator Clash, are putting the sport back on the map in a huge way… and makeup mogul Jeffree Star is willing to take a slice of the action. Star appeared on a June 14 episode of Logan Paul’s IMPAULSIVE podcast to discuss his career when the subject was brought up — mainly, in relation to the drama he experienced regarding fellow beauty gurus James Charles and Tati Westbrook. To briefly explain the past drama: In 2019, James Charles was at the center of a massive scandal after fellow influencer Tati Westbrook came forward with a video accusing him of inappropriate behavior. Read More: YouTuber banned for life after walking into NBA Finals dressed as Golden State Warriors player – Her video went extremely viral, causing Charles to lose hundreds of thousands of subscribers. Things seemed to balance out for Charles after he published a now-deleted video explaining his side of the situation, titled ‘No More Lies,’ resulting in pushback against Tati’s previous claims. Westbrook later uploaded a video alleging that Jeffree Star and fellow YouTuber Shane Dawson had prompted her to create her initial expose — which sparked huge backlash against both stars, resulting in Shane Dawson ultimately being ousted from YouTube due to public outrage. After all this, Star says he’s down to settle the score in the boxing ring against other influencers and claims he’s got a background in street brawls to back it up. “I’m always down for that,” he said. “I actually know how to street fight. I’m down for it all.” “I’ve been jumped by five guys before,” he continued. “I know how to fight.” (Topic begins at 35:10) With so many influencer boxing events cropping up, it’s not out of the question that fans might see Star step into the ring at some point in the future. For now, he’s busy relaxing at Star Ranch with his Yaks until the time arises.

Jeffree Star hits back at rumors of faking $2.5 million makeup robbery YouTube: Jeffree Star[jwplayer mgzBNoPb]In 2019, YouTuber and makeup mogul Jeffree Star revealed that one of his makeup warehouses had been robbed of $2.5 million worth of product — but now, some critics are accusing the influencer of faking the entire ordeal. In April of last year, Jeffree Star — known for his massively popular beauty brand, Jeffree Star Cosmetics — uploaded a harrowing video claiming that one of his warehouses had been broken into, with the thieves selling his then-unreleased concealer line on the black market. Citing over $2.5 million worth in damages, Star was met with sympathy from both fans and critics alike over the shocking incident — but now, some aren’t too sure that he was telling the whole truth. Internet sleuth ‘Good Citizen Records’ claimed to have uncovered documents from the Los Angeles Police Department that stated Jeffree Star had only suffered $10,000 in losses and $30,000 in physical damage. Since then, critics have been speculating the truth of Star’s April 2019 video — a topic he finally spoke out about in an upload on August 9. Here is the last of the @JeffreeStar #Theft records. Total value of the theft was $10,000, with an additional $30,000 in physical damages according to LAPD. #PublicRecords pic.twitter.com/LIp0ucefSu — Good Citizen Records (@RecordsCitizen) July 22, 2020 In a video titled “Addressing RUMORS about me,” Star claimed that the rumors regarding the makeup theft were mere lies and speculation, and blamed it on the 2020 quarantine and current online culture. “It’s all so silly, but people really run with things, and I get it,” he said of the drama. “This is what 2020’s about. A lot of people are bored and miserable and just want to make up s**t all day. I’m used to it. It’s just shocking, the levels of things that people are believing now.” (Topic begins at 6:30) “ There were 30,000 units of just concealer stolen, and so many other things,” he continued. “It was so horrifying and awful and scary. So for someone to minimize it, like it was a hoax or something, I was like… I roll with the punches. Just take my advice and learn from me, guys. It is what it is.” Despite the speculation, it doesn’t look like Star is letting the drama get to him, and is decidedly unbothered about accusations of lying about the theft — as well as the current hubbub surrounding friend and fellow YouTuber Shane Dawson.

Jeffree Star shares pictures of wrecked Rolls Royce after “severe” crash Twitter: Jeffree StarYouTube star and makeup mogul Jeffree Star was involved in a “severe” rollover car crash on April 16 while he was driving his Rolls Royce on icy roads, and has now shared pictures of his wrecked car. Fans were left shocked and concerned after Star’s official Twitter account published a photo of the YouTube star and his friend Daniel in a hospital at 11 AM PST. The photo showed Star wearing a neck brace holding his friend’s hand, both in hospital gowns and hooked up to IVs. A caption for the picture stated that the two had been involved in a “severe” rollover crash in Star’s Rolls Royce while out driving on icy roads three hours prior. View this post on Instagram According to the post, the vehicle flipped over three times due to hitting black ice. Black ice can be especially dangerous during the winter months, as it is a thin and highly transparent sheet of ice that many drivers can’t see, causing them to lose control on the road. More information will be revealed later on, but for now, both fans and the star’s team are thankful he is alive. While Star once made his home in Los Angeles, he has since moved part-time to Casper, Wyoming, where he is currently creating a business and also owns a home, where the crash took place. 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 Hours later, Star updated fans with another tweet, stating that his back had been broken and that he has multiple vertebrae fractures on his spine that are causing him “excruciating pain.” That’s not all; the YouTuber claimed that may take “a few months” for him to heal, but he is expected to make a full recovery. This morning was one of the scariest moments of our entire lives. I’m so grateful to be here still. I’m in excruciating pain because part of my back is broken and I have vertebrae fractures on my spine. My doctor said it will take a few months but I should make a full recovery.— Jeffree Star (@JeffreeStar) April 17, 2021 After updating fans on his condition, Star also shared photos of the wrecked car following the accident, which really drives home just how serious the whole situation really was. “Thank God a #RollsRoyce is built with highly reinforced steel, because it saved our lives,” the influencer wrote along with shots of the vehicle following the accident. This was hard but I had to go see my car today. Thank God a #RollsRoyce is built with highly reinforced steel because it saved our lives 🙏🏻 Time to heal and let my body repair. pic.twitter.com/5YY5CVpl1V — Jeffree Star (@JeffreeStar) April 17, 2021 Star is one of the internet’s most popular beauty personalities, amassing over 16 million YouTube subscribers and even creating his very own, highly successful, makeup line.

Jeffree Star hits back at harassment after palette name controversy YouTube: Jeffree Star[jwplayer mgzBNoPb]YouTuber and makeup mogul Jeffree Star is hitting back at online harassment after catching flak for the name of his most recent eyeshadow palette — but it doesn’t look like he’s letting the haters bring him down. Jeffree Star has long been a subject of contention among internet circles, with the beauty guru recently coming under scrutiny for his supposed involvement in the scandal against YouTuber James Charles in summer 2019. Now, Star is facing criticism for the name of his latest eyeshadow palette (a name that we can’t publish here, for obvious reasons). With critics slamming Star for the label’s potential effect on younger makeup fans, he was met with backlash on all sides — even receiving some potential threats, as well. 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 In a series of Tweets published on August 24, Star claimed that he has received some seriously disturbing hate messages, some of which apparently even asked him to end his own life. “I wonder if the people who constantly tell me to kill myself every minute of the day ever get tired or hungry?” he posed to the internet. I wonder if the people who constantly tell me to kill myself every minute of the day ever get tired or hungry??? — Jeffree Star (@JeffreeStar) August 24, 2020 That’s not all; Star also dispelled rumors of paying off anyone he’s currently seeing, writing, “I know it’s devastating news for some people, but I don’t give money to anyone I’m dating or anyone who is f***ing me. Work on your own insecurities sis, I’m not the problem.” I know it’s devastating news for some people, but I don’t give money to anyone I’m dating or anyone who is fucking me. Work on your own insecurities sis, I’m not the problem 💖 — Jeffree Star (@JeffreeStar) August 24, 2020 Finally, Star ended his tangent with another quip: “Worry about how to pay your own bills, not who’s in my mouth. Thank you, God bless – Upper management.” Worry about how to pay your own bills, not who’s in my mouth 💯 Thank you, God bless – Upper management — Jeffree Star (@JeffreeStar) August 24, 2020 This continues Star’s unbothered attitude toward peoples’ opinions of him, a trend that has spanned his entire career, but became a point of contention following accusations of having orchestrated the drama against James Charles last year. Showing off new images of him posing atop Louis Vuitton trunks and posted up on his private jet, Star seemed quite beyond the hate at the time — and while he had an explanation for his latest palette’s divisive name, isn’t going to give critics the satisfaction of renaming it.

Jeffree Star hits back at “horrible” claims he faked car accident to sell merch Twitter: Jeffree StarBeauty YouTuber Jeffree Star has hit back at claims that he staged his recent car crash in order to bring attention his brand new makeup collection. On April 16, YouTube star and makeup guru Jeffree Star revealed that he and his pal Daniel has been involved in a “severe” car crash while driving his Rolls Royce. The YouTuber was quickly in hospital and updating fans on his injuries, even saying that he was lucky to be alive after he was involved in a rollover crash. However, some skeptics have claimed that he staged the accident and injuries in some way, in order to promote his new range of makeup and merchandise. Now, though, he has hit back at those claims in a pretty furious manner. Speaking on an Instagram Live, Jeffree detailed how he’s been inundated with questions about the accident, and how some have demanded comments from him about the claims that it’s fake. “I don’t even know what would make someone write a dumb, horrible story but that was one of the worst experiences of my life, so let’s just take a little pause… I don’t get it,” the YouTuber said, again questioning the thought process behind the rumors. Jeffree continued, revealing that the other person in the crash, Daniel, has been “harassed” with questions about him staging it. “Are you guys out of your f**king minds? So, to anyone thinking about writing a story like that, or already have, you’re f**king awful.” https://twitter.com/defnoodles/status/1384238696333860866 The beauty guru further noted that he believes the rumors are giving his real friends and family a hard time too, hinting that people have been messaging his own mom about it. It’s clear that the YouTuber isn’t having these claims one bit, especially after he was the one who suffered a traumatizing experience.

Jeffree Star hits back at critics upset he’s donating to fans YouTube: Mr KateYouTuber and makeup mogul Jeffree Star, like many top influencers, is using his platform to help fans in need amid the uncertain global climate — but not everyone is happy with his philanthropic deeds. Star’s name has trended on Twitter several times throughout the past several days, after the beauty guru announced his generous cash giveaways to fans who retweet and follow him, or used the hashtag “#JeffreeStarApproved.” Donating thousands of dollars to fans in need, the star has become one of many influencers who are using their positions for a good cause — but even acts of charity can come under scrutiny. Apparently, not everyone is happy about Star’s campaign to help financially insecure viewers during global turmoil, as evidenced by a Tweet he published on April 1. In his post, Star hit back at critics who are apparently upset with him for giving out money to fans in need, asking they do some introspection to address their bitterness and even admitting that he’s privately donated millions to charitable causes. “If anyone is mad that I’m giving away MY money, you have a lot of soul-searching to do,” he began. “My family and I have donated millions privately, and I’ve helped every single person in my life. I love giving back, if that offends anyone, can’t relate.” If anyone is mad that I’m giving away MY money, you have a lot of soul-searching to do… My family and I have donated millions of dollars privately, and I’ve helped every single person in my life. I love giving back, if that offends anyone, can’t relate 💖 — Jeffree Star (@JeffreeStar) April 1, 2020 He continued with this message in response to an understanding fan, writing, “If anyone’s acting up and being mad instead of giving back, honestly can’t relate.” ALWAYS! If anyone’s acting up and being mad instead of giving back, honestly can’t relate — Jeffree Star (@JeffreeStar) April 1, 2020 Star isn’t the only YouTuber coming under fire for his charitable acts, either; James Charles likewise hinted that he’d received some hate after kicking off his own donation campaign a week prior, noting the sudden change in haters’ comments after offering to help out his fans financially. Read More: When is David Dobrik coming back to YouTube? – “It’s also sad that I get hate comments all day long, and then as soon as I retweet someone and offer to help out an amazing supporter, suddenly everyone only has nice things to say,” he wrote. No matter the case, it seems that some stars can’t catch a break — even when they’re giving back to fans out of the goodness of their own hearts.

Jeffree Star hits back at fake TikTok pretending to break into his house YouTube: Jeffree StarYouTuber and makeup entrepreneur Jeffree Star debunked a fake TikTok that went viral from someone who claimed he’d broken into his $14.6 million mansion in Hidden Hills, California, calling it “scary” and “sketchy.” The YouTube star moved into the property in December 2019, relocating from Calabasas, California to Hidden Hills. The mansion is a whopping 25,000 square feet and comes with 2.82 acres of land, making it one of the most extravagant residences in the state. On April 5, Star uploaded a video titled “Reacting To Tik Toks About Me (They Broke In!)” where he watched and reacted to many clips about him from the popular social media website. One, however, claimed that they’d actually trespassed onto his property, and the 34-year-old was quick to set the record straight. Jeffree Star debunks fake trespassing TikTok After being positively stunned by a clip of two girls who claimed to have lived in his mansion prior to him, Star explained that people had been contacting him about a certain video where someone had supposedly trespassed onto his property. “There are some creepy [TikToks] about my home! Shall we dive in deeper?” he asked. “People have reached out to my assistant, to my friends, about this video. It’s a little sketch.” The YouTuber then proceeded to watch the clip captioned “When you sneak into Jeffree Star’s house” in which two people recorded themselves walking around the outside of the Hidden Hills mansion. (Timestamp 4:39 for mobile viewers.) “Okay, so their account has literally only that video… Now listen, that is my home, but there’s no rose garden anymore and all the patio furniture is gone,” he explained. “So, that’s very convincing, also a little sketchy and a little scary because you’re kind of perpetuating that you broke into my house while I wasn’t here. Which is not possible!” Star then laughed and said that he sees why the TikTok could be believable, though. “And I’m like… If you don’t really know that the rose garden is gone, right? You’ll believe the video. So no-one broke into my home, everyone sending it to me, thank you, I really appreciate it, we have everything under control.” He ended on a short, simple message for the person who made the clip. “But, whoever you are… Cute!” he said. The YouTuber has spoken about his home security in the past, and revealed that both his assistant and an armed guard live with him 24/7. In Shane Dawson’s documentary uploaded in October, he asked Jeffree whether he’s afraid of somebody breaking into his property and hurting him. “Just for the record, my bodyguards are always armed, including right now. So on the 1% chance, they shoot to kill,” he responded.

Jeffree Star floored by “sick” TikToks making fun of ex-boyfriend Nathan Jeffree Star, YouTube / lanadelrace, TikTokMakeup mogul Jeffree Star parted ways with longterm boyfriend Nathan Schwandt in January — but months later, their seemingly amicable split was plagued with drama, and fans are chiming in on the matter via TikTok. Although his initial parting with Schwandt was explained as a mutual breakup, Star later opened up about the fallout of their split in a house tour video, claiming that “dark” issues were afoot behind the scenes. However, the YouTuber refrained from going into detail about the matter, stating that there could be potential legal consequences for doing so — but that isn’t stopping fans from chiming in with their two cents on the subject. In a video uploaded on April 25, Star reacted to “mean” TikToks about himself, some of which commented on his breakup with Schwandt with not-so-subtle accusations that his ex was merely using him for his money. One video showed Schwandt’s fashion transformation from his older photos to red-carpet pictures with Star, paired with the caption, “When you’re straight, but your homeboy can buy you drugs.” “I’m quitting today!” Star laughed, moving out of frame of the camera. “Bye guys, you finish this! …Y’all are really f**king sick. Sickening!” Another TikTok similarly paired old photos of Schwandt to Lil Kayla’s ‘Make His Pockets Hurt,’ with the caption, “When you pretend to be gay for the money, cars, and gifts.” “You guys are really, really sick!” Star jokingly screamed after watching the video. (Timestamp: 7:37 for mobile readers) This isn’t the first time Star has reacted to critical TikToks either; the YouTuber uploaded a similar video weeks earlier, where he called out a fan who claimed to have broken into his home. Although it’s unclear whether Star was down for the brutal criticism of his ex in his latest reaction video, or was actually speaking out against the TikToks, he has yet to open up further regarding the “dark” issues surrounding their breakup, which continues to garner speculation across the net after a fan account even created a fake Instagram profile for Schwandt. Whatever the case may be, its clear that fans aren’t happy with the drama — and Star isn’t spilling the tea, just yet.

Jeffree Star hits back at accusations of “stealing” someone’s husband Instagram: Jeffree StarBeauty business mogul and YouTuber Jeffree Star has hit out against accusations that he was romantically involved with a married man, after he began posting pictures of him and a new partner. Jeffree Star has a huge online presence, with over 17 million subscribers on YouTube and his successful makeup brand Jeffree Star cosmetics. Ever since his involvement in Shane Dawson’s “The Secret World of Jeffree Star” series, fans have taken even more of an interest into Jeffree’s romantic life. Nathan Schwandt was Jeffree Star’s boyfriend from 2015, and the pair received a significant amount of criticism relating to the idea that Nathan was supposedly in the relationship for Jeffree Star’s wealth, which they addressed in Shane Dawson’s documentary. While the couple seemed to be going strong, they shocked the internet in January when they announced that they were breaking up just weeks after moving into a $14.6 million mansion in Hidden Hills, California. In August, Jeffree began posting pictures of romantic poses with a new man, in one picture sitting on his lap with both of their faces concealed. Internet detectives quickly got to work, and discovered that the man was professional basketball player Andre Marhold, who many believe is already married to a woman due to social media posts by his supposed wife saying he “ruined the whole family.” https://www.instagram.com/p/CENTuqcBApo/ Jeffree didn’t take kindly to these claims, and hit back at the reports via an Instagram story. “The person I am hanging out with has never been married. He’s not married. I didn’t steal anyone’s f**king husband.” https://twitter.com/defnoodles/status/1299570501350617088 He also took to Twitter to tell people that “I don’t hang out with married men,” and also brought up people’s reactions to him and ex-boyfriend Nathan in previous years, saying that he’s “so bored of that rhetoric” that “he’s only with you for the money.” I don’t hang out with married men. I’m not going to repeat myself again so read it twice 😘 Marriage licenses are public record. Common sense is not so common.— Jeffree Star (@JeffreeStar) August 28, 2020 Remember when I heard “”he’s only with you for the money”” for 5 years with Nathan? I’m so bored of that rhetoric 😴 — Jeffree Star (@JeffreeStar) August 28, 2020 While the full story has yet to emerge, Jeffree has hinted that “marriage licenses are public record” so there may be more evidence regarding Andre’s backstory to come.

Jeffree Star faces backlash for hanging out with Eugenia Cooney Jeffree Star/Eugenia CooneyInfluencer Jeffree Star is facing major criticism online after he was seen live streaming with Eugenia Cooney, the two spending multiple days together at Star’s ranch home. This past month, Dexerto reported how fans of Cooney have been concerned with her health and appearance. On September 22, Cooney uploaded a video of herself dancing along to Beyonce’s ‘Single Ladies.’ The video in question was flooded with comments from fans who were shocked at Cooney’s appearance, noticing the YouTuber’s incredibly thin appearance. Since then, the influencer has been relatively quiet. However, she has thrust herself back into the limelight after appearing on multiple live streams with Jeffree Star. Her fans are now blasting Star for spending time with the influencer and for the content and conversations that the two were having during their streams. Cooney visited Star at the Star Yak Ranch, spending a few days at his house and even going live from the home on multiple occasions. The chat kept asking the two about their time together, with Cooney even addressing in one livestream how she has been under major fire in recent days and weeks. “We’ve already done all the things you’re asking us,” Starr explained to the chat. Cooney goes on to add, “I see you guys are going to cancel Eugenia but actually we’ve done that too. I’ve been canceled a million times so we’ve already done that you guys. We’re just doing our makeup and trying to have a good time. Which, it’s been so much fun so whatever with what some of you guys want to say.” Time will tell if Cooney properly addresses her audience’s concerns or if Starr speaks out against the criticism he has received for spending time with her. However, we’ll be sure to keep you updated if any news about the situation is revealed. For all the latest entertainment news and updates, be sure to check out Dexerto’s full coverage here.

Jeffree Star finally opens up about “scary” car crash: “We almost lost our lives” YouTube: Jeffree StarInternet celebrity and makeup mogul Jeffree Star has released his first YouTube video after the frightening car crash in Wyoming that flipped his Rolls Royce three times on April 16. Jeffree Star is one of YouTube’s biggest beauty influencers. Having founded his very own makeup company, Jeffree Star Cosmetics, as well as introducing several new business ventures — such as the Star Lounge — it’s safe to say he’s also one of YouTube’s most successful businessmen. On April 16, during a drive through Wyoming with his best friend, Daniel, the unthinkable happened — Star’s jet black Rolls Royce hit a patch of black ice, causing the YouTuber to lose control and even flipping the vehicle three times. Fans were unaware of the crash until Star’s team posted a photo to Twitter, showing the influencer and his bestie holding hands in a hospital room. 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 Nearly a month later, Star has finally revealed exactly what went down during the time of the crash — as well as the grisly aftermath of the accident. According to the YouTuber, his back was “partially broken,” with one of his vertebrae getting “fully crushed” as a result of the rollover crash. Star has to wear a back brace for the next five weeks, jokingly calling the medical equipment a “new accessory.” Star also shared footage taken in the hospital, admitting that he and Daniel “almost lost their lives” despite remaining positive in spite of the dangerous situation. “It was really, really, really f***ing scary,” Star said. “It was probably one of the scariest things that’s ever happened to me.” That wasn’t the worst of it, though; Star revealed that he’d received a slew of hateful comments from people who claimed they wished he’d died in the crash after the hospital photo was shared online. “So many of our supporters and family and friends, obviously, were so concerned, had so much empathy, but I think we won the Guinness Book of World Records of most people telling us they wished we would have died,” he claimed. Star also confirmed that he had not been speeding at the time of the crash, contrary to many other online allegations, and that his car had simply hit a patch of black ice and slid out of control. Luckily, both Star and Daniel are safe and in good health — although Star’s internal wounds will take “months” to fully heal.

Jeffree Star exposed for nasty comments on Nikita Dragun & Trisha Paytas Instagram: Jeffree Star/ Instagram: Trisha Paytas/ Instagram: Nikita DragunA former friend of Jeffree Star, music producer Oscar Wylde, has exposed Jeffree for speaking negatively about his fellow influencers Trisha Paytas and Nikita Dragun in a video on YouTube. [jwplayer KD1gIhoh] Trisha Paytas recently publicly called out “evil” Jeffree Star and his hairstylist HairbyJay following a tense trip to Las Vegas earlier this year. In a YouTube video entitled “Why I’m scared of Jeffree and HairbyJay,” Paytas explained that she was left “hurt and disgusted” during the Valentine’s Day vacation – so much so, she even went home early. Claiming that Star, HairbyJay and other guests spent the “awful” trip making fun of her weight, skin, spending and appearance, Paytas said: “Jeffree brought me on a trip to s**t on me, and I can’t have a say, because he paid for it.” She also hit out at former friend and YouTuber Shane Dawson, criticizing him for “constantly promoting” Star even though he allegedly treated her poorly in the past. Jeffree later took to Twitter in response to these accusations. Claiming that he is “horrified” by what HairbyJay said during his live, he maintained in a Tweet addressed to Paytas: “Let’s not pretend I had any part to play in that.” Responding to Jeffree by quote tweeting one of his comments about the situation, Trisha also said, “If you didn’t want to be involved in the drama, why is he speaking your name in the video on your behalf? Confirming all the horrid shit you guys said about me?” Since then, Oscar Wylde, a DJ and producer also known as ‘cvkedup,’ has also spoken out on the situation, giving his own interpretation of Jeffree Star’s purported backstabbing of these influencers. He has a large following of more than 300,000 Instagram followers and used to be close friends with Jeffree Star, but claims he cut their friendship off. On January 20, Oscar posted a video on his YouTube channel discussing his previous friendship with Jeffree Star and recent controversies. Speaking on his former acquaintances, Oscar revealed that Jeffree had said some nasty things about beauty influencer Nikita Dragun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvXH9RHp6ho Oscar said: “I’m not gonna stir the pot, but how about the 40 minutes you guys just went back and forth talking about Nikita Dragun’s, uh, ‘hail mary candle,’ and that she copied you, and then you went and showed her it in your office?” He also revealed that Jeffree had said some similar words about Trisha Paytas, adding, “The things that were said about Trisha, it’s basically mirroring what’s said in that kitchen as like, banter.” He then spoke on Shane Dawson’s relationship with Jeffree, saying, “I’m still surprised that Shane has lasted this long. I don’t know if it’s for financial gain or not, but at the end of the day, Shane Dawson, I looked up to you a lot… I don’t know what you’re doing right now. You’re supporting the wrong people.” The personalities involved are yet to comment on Oscar’s response to the ongoing drama.

Jeffree Star exposes his ex-boyfriend for allegedly stealing from him Instagram: Jeffree Star[jwplayer mgzBNoPb]YouTuber and makeup mogul Jeffree Star hasn’t exactly been shy about advertising his relationship with pro basketball player Andre Marhold — but it looks like this latest romance is coming to a nasty end on social media. Following his highly-publicized split from long term boyfriend Nathan Schwandt in January, Star began seeing basketball pro Andre Marhold in August, which spurred its own controversy after some critics accused Star of being a homewrecker. Claiming that Marhold was already married and that his wife had allegedly stated his involvement with Star had “ruined the whole family,” Star was quick to hit back against these accusations, arguing that Marhold has “never been married. He’s not married. I didn’t steal anyone’s f**king husband.” However, it looks like the tide has suddenly turned, as Star and Marhold appear to be on not-so-friendly terms. An Instagram comment from Jeffree Star on Marhold’s profile, made on September 30, alleges that the athlete had stolen items from Star’s home — flinging a few insults, in the process. “Hey!” Star wrote. “Since you can’t answer the phone right now, can you give me all the stuff back that you stole from my house? What kind of lowlife f**king scum does that? Give it back! If you need a return label, just ask!” While Marhold has yet to provide a direct response to his ex’s claims, he did seem to hit back at the issue in a few posts on his backup Instagram account, posting to his Story: “F**k all that.” That’s not all; Marhold also posted a video of himself flexing in his designer clothes with the caption, “Reading yall DMs & comments, hilarious.” https://www.instagram.com/p/CFxrcB1DO9O/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link It seems that Marhold is completely unbothered by Star’s insinuations that he’d stolen from him, if his posts are anything to go by, although Star’s fans are a completely different situation altogether. Despite the hullabaloo, some fans and fellow influencers are questioning if the purported theft even happened, as rapper CupkakKe alleged that she saw the couple leaving a gas station together. https://twitter.com/CupcakKe_rapper/status/1311422702738182146?s=20 Star has since addressed the matter in a series of videos via his Instagram Story, claiming that Marhold presented himself as “a whole different person” than who he “really was.” He went on to insinuate that he’d discovered Mahrold had no job and no money in the bank, after which he promptly dropped him, after which some of his designer items mysteriously went missing. Star even hit out at trolls who praised the theft, claiming there’s a “special place in hell” for those who celebrate “bad news for anyone.” While Star didn’t exactly name Mahrold, his story heavily appears to center around the basketball pro, also claiming that “the person” in question wouldn’t answer his calls and instead posted on his Instagram — a claim that lines up with Star’s initial comment. Marhold has since responded to Star’s accusations, threatening to release information that could “ruin” his career. Amidst the drama, he posted a handful of Instagram stories before quickly removing them. “Shall I tell the people?” Marhold first asked. He threatened Star with a strict 60-minute deadline to remove various posts on Snapchat or else information would be revealed. These threats landed Marhold in even hotter water as Star reached back out to remind him of a Non-Disclosure agreement he had signed during their relationship. “My lawyer screenshotted your threats,” Star outlined. “I don’t get why you won’t just give me back my stuff. You put my health at risk and all I showed you was respect.” Despite this reminder of his legally binding agreement, Marhold didn’t stop there. “Let’s just say this is going to ruin you,” he continued. Moments later and the threats came to fruition as Marhold revealed a shocking accusation that Star had cheated on his previous ex. “Your last guy [Nathan Schwandt] left because you f***ed his close friend, that’s sad.” The two have continued to trade blows online throughout the day, though this was the final remark at the time of writing. We’ll be sure to keep you updated if any further accusations come to light.

Jeffree Star doubles down after backlash to calling they/them pronouns “stupid” YouTube/Bussin’ With The BoysMakeup mogul Jeffree Star is doubling down on his controversial comments about pronouns after backlash for calling them “stupid.” Jeffree Star has found himself in hot water over recent remarks he made about people who use they/them pronouns during a recent episode of the ‘Bussin’ With The Boys’ podcast. The influencer joked that certain pronouns were made up during the pandemic because people were “so bored.” “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!” he said on the show. Although his controversial statement raised quite a few eyebrows and debate online, the beauty guru has since doubled down on social media. Jeffree Star gets heated with Twitch streamer over pronoun remarks On Twitter, Star quote-tweeted a post by the account Daily Loud referencing his comments on pronouns. “I said what I said. It’s not that complicated,” he said, adding the ‘100’ emoji for good measure. This further resulted in additional backlash with a small Twitch streamer calling those agreeing with Star “busted YT girls and soccer moms.” This didn’t sit right with the makeup expert who replied with some choice words of his own, slamming the D&D streamer for trying to attack others. “Degrading women’s looks to make yourself feel better. You are truly disgusting but your obsession with me is actually scary… Please stop and go get some fresh air,” Star retaliated. Star’s comments on nonbinary and transgender people come amid controversy surrounding the release of Hogwarts Legacy. Many have boycotted the Harry Potter game due to series creator JK Rowling’s comments on transgender issues.

Jeffree Star explains why he’s distancing himself from the beauty scene YouTube: Jeffree StarBeauty mogul and YouTuber Jeffree Star has revealed that he “doesn’t really engage in the beauty world anymore,” claiming that he wants “people to see [his] growth.” Jeffree started off his internet journey on MySpace where he built a substantial follower base, and since then he has gone on to grow a hugely popular YouTube channel alongside his successful makeup company, Jeffree Star Cosmetics. With over 16 million subscribers, the mogul has a loyal core of fans, and his participation in Shane Dawson’s wildly popular series ‘The Secret World of Jeffree Star’ gave people a new insight into his crazy life behind the scenes. However, he’s also been caught up in a fair amount of controversy over the years, getting into drama with countless other prominent creators in the beauty community including James Charles, Manny MUA, and more. But in an interview with E! News’ Amanda Williams and Cydney Contreras, the YouTuber revealed that he’s actually distancing himself from the beauty community. After saying he’s “focused on positivity,” Star added: “I know that may sound like a crock of sh*t from one of the most dramatic people in the makeup industry, but I’m generally in a really good place mentally, and I definitely wasn’t before.” When asked what he thought of his ‘controversial’ image, Jeffree claimed: “I definitely think it’s fair because I used to entertain and respond to so much, even though I probably shouldn’t have.” “I honestly keep to myself and I don’t really engage in the beauty world anymore,” the beauty YouTuber continued, adding, “I have zero contact with all of those people.” He also claimed he wants “people to see [his] growth.” Jeffree was involved in a serious car accident back in April in Wyoming, causing him “excruciating pain” due to a broken back. In a recent video, he explained that the injury is still affecting his ability to film YouTube content.

Jeffree Star details insane three-day shopping spree worth half a million dollars YouTube: Jeffree StarInfluencer Jeffree Star has admitted that, when traveling around for work, he can sometimes spend up to half a million dollars in a weekend when shopping for clothes and other accessories. Content creator and influence Jeffree Star is no stranger when it comes to controversy and out-of-the-box comments and discussions. At the beginning of 2023, Dexerto reported on a series of tweets Star issued out in which the influencer claimed he had escaped the Illuminate multiple times. And while this may be part of Star’s brand, he is also known for makeup and fashion, a quality that has now developed into a very well-known and identifiable look. However, as one could expect, this focus on fashion and beauty does not come cheap. During Star’s appearance on the Out and About podcast, he was asked about spending habits and whether or not the amount changes when traveling versus at home. Jeffree Star reveals he spends half a million dollars during weekend shopping sprees “It depends. When I’m traveling, like right now, I’m going shopping. I like to have fun.” They then asked what a Jeffree Star shopping spree looks like and includes, the content creator was very candid about how much money gets spent. “I don’t know. If I’m here for a few days, maybe half a million dollars.” While Jeffree Star appears unfazed by the amount, the host of the Out and About podcast recoils immediately, clearly shocked and surprised by the high number. For those interested, the full epsiode of the podcast with Star can be listened to here. Currently, Jeffree spends most of his time publicizing his new line of makeup, with the products often sampled and viewed via his personal Twitter account. As well as this, Star also features on a variety of podcasts, even appearing on an episode of Logan Paul’s IMPAULSIVE podcast in June 2022.

Jeffree Star dishes on ex Andre Marhold & fake accounts in YouTube return YouTube: Jeffree StarAfter a quiet month on YouTube, Jeffree Star has returned to the platform to set the record straight about recent drama to his 17.2 million subscribers. [jwplayer smynPnSq] It’s clear that 2020 hasn’t been the most plain-sailing year for makeup mogul Jeffree Star. Following his breakup with long-time boyfriend Nathan Schwandt at the start of this year, he has been at the center of numerous controversies. These include backlash against his ORGY palette, accusations of racist behavior, “poisonous lies” about James Charles to Tati Westbrook, and most recently, the very public and messy split between him and squeeze Andre Marhold, wherein Star publicly accused the professional basketball player of “robbing” him of a few designer items. Since Star went public with these accusations against Marhold, the plot continued to thicken, with several false accounts posing as Marhold popping up and sharing photos of STD medications they claimed belonged to Star. One of these accounts even messaged Star, telling him that his relationship with Marhold was all just a “game”. After confirming the invalidity of these accounts on social media, Star has been relatively quiet about the breakdown of his relationship with Marhold and these accusations. Until now. Breaking his silence on YouTube, Star set the record straight about his ex and these surrounding rumors. “I was recently hanging out with someone, but we are not hanging out anymore,” Star said. Topic starts at 0:55 Within minutes of the video, Star made it clear that the future wasn’t looking bright for his sticky-fingered ex, as he confirmed that he was being prosecuted for stealing from him. As for the false accounts, Star exclaimed that “the internet is a little cuckoo at the moment”, before clarifying that the people behind the accounts had also been caught by the police. “Thank God for IP addresses and law enforcement,” Star sighed. In the video, he also revealed his dog Diva’s diagnosis with cancer, gave viewers a tour of his latest home renovations, and promised to upload more regularly in the future. However, as a lot of fans pointed out, what was unusual about Star’s video was the lack of explanation about his latest controversy. In an expose by Insider, it was revealed that Star colluded with a former fan to delete a series of Tweets – which included jokes about r*pe and sleeping with straight men – at the height of his feud with James Charles. Everyone is praising @JeffreeStar for calling out @jamescharles for his predatory behaviour. We’re all aware of Jeffree Stars racist past but what about his predatory past.. There were more tweets I have seen screenshots of but apparently he’s on a deleting spree.. pic.twitter.com/KFZQn2oJFj — Adele 🧚🏼♀️ (@diorxwhoree) May 14, 2019 He initially promised to give the fan free tickets to an event, but then blocked the fan and berated them after they emailed his assistant. He said to the fan that his “energy felt really ugly” and “entitled” before blocking him. Meanwhile, accusations about Star’s conduct and allegedly predatory behavior are re-circulating online after his former fan spoke to Insider. He is yet to comment on them.

Jeffree Star confirms Nathan Schwandt break up rumors in emotional video Beauty YouTuber Jeffree Star has responded to rumors that he and boyfriend Nathan Schwandt have split, revealing they have indeed broken up, and explained why. Rumors first began after Star removed ‘wifey of Nathan’ from his Instagram bio around December 7, and also canceled European tour dates. His masterclass co-host MMMMitchell also helped stoke the rumors by saying “I’m upset because my friend’s upset.” Then, on January 9, the rumors snowballed even more, as Jeffree Star tweeted “Dear god please stop the pain.” Some fans even became concerned for both his physical and mental wellbeing. Now, on January 11, the makeup mogul has confirmed their breakup. Jeffree Star and Nathan Schwandt split In a 17-minute YouTube video titled “We Broke Up,” Star explained why the pair came to the decision to end their five-year relationship. This came just weeks after the couple moved into a $14.6 million mansion in Hidden Hills, California. He started off by stating that they both still care for each other deeply, but that it just wasn’t meant to be. “I just want to put on record that Nathan is the only man that I have ever been in love with. It’s hard because Nathan never wanted to be in the spotlight,” he said. “We fell for each other when we met, and we fell for each other so hard, and I’m grateful for him, and I’ll be grateful for him until the day I die because this is the only man that was ever confident enough to love me publicly, to love me for me fully. He changed my world.” The 34-year-old then revealed that family members had tried to spread gossip and false stories through the media. “It really kills me to say, but we’ve had family try to reach out to the media to try and make money off of mine and Nathan’s breakup. I don’t even know how to process that,” he said. “We’re over here heartbroken dealing with our emotions, dealing with things behind the scenes, and there’s family trying to tell the media fake stories to get money out of it. There’s people I haven’t spoken to in years trying to talk about us. It’s been a lot.” The YouTuber then went on to state that the pair’s mental health played a part in the reasons behind their breakup, citing Nathan losing his grandfather and the couple losing two of their beloved dogs. “There’s no crazy gossip, there’s no tea, this is actually really important and I don’t think enough celebrities and influencers talk about it, and that’s mental health,” he said. “A few years ago, Nathan lost his grandfather in a very tragic way… 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,” he continued. “Me and him have never sat down and full processed our emotions, we’re both broken. We were both so busy being there for each other, that we forgot to be there for ourselves.” Star finished by stating that he’ll always have love his ex-boyfriend, but that they fell out of love with each other. “He met me when I had nothing, and he never changed, and that’s what I love the most, he stayed true to who he was,” he said. “Nate came over the other day and visited the dogs and it was so beautiful. There’s no custody battle, he can come over here whenever he wants… I think there’s a lot of things behind closed doors that people never know.” Jeffree and Nathan began their relationship in 2014, and first met when the 26-year-old slid into the makeup star’s Instagram DMs. “We started talking online, we started texting, and then texting led to phone calls and FaceTime,” Star revealed in a 2016 video. “Then we decided a few months later to meet in person.” Read More: David Dobrik teases vlog with Justin Bieber – The musician-turned-YouTuber has seen enormous success with his makeup line Jeffree Star Cosmetics, and is one of the top beauty gurus on the Google-owned platform with over 17 million subscribers.

It was very disturbing… and things are getting a little Yellowstone out here. The neighbors need mental help.” He went on to say in another clip: “This story with my neighbors mentally abusing me and harassing me is being documented by a very large publication.

Jeffree Star clears up alleged robbery at his warehouse YouTube: Jeffree StarYouTuber and makeup mogul Jeffree Star has spoken out after an alleged robbery alert at his business was released via social media, leading many fans to believe his warehouse had been broken into, once again. [jwplayer h3XPfMqQ] Jeffree Star is a huge name in the beauty industry. Boasting his own makeup line, Jeffree Star Cosmetics, the influencer-turned-beauty guru has built a massive makeup empire with a reputation to match. However, Star’s business isn’t always getting the right kind of attention; the line became the victim of a massive robbery in 2019, with the culprits reportedly stealing and selling $2.5 million worth of his products — including an unreleased concealer — on the internet. Two years later, fans became worried again when an alert went out via the Citizen App, which claimed that a robbery had taken place at the Jeffree Star Cosmetics warehouse on the night of January 25. https://twitter.com/defnoodles/status/1353960250617909248?s=20 The claims went unconfirmed for some time until Star addressed the situation via a series of Instagram stories, explaining that there hadn’t actually been a robbery, after all. Instead, Star stated that one of his employees had accidentally set off a silent alarm — which, as protocol demands, saw the involvement of law enforcement as a safeguard, in case the alarm had actually been set off in response to a real threat. “If you listen to the dispatch call, she says that a silent alarm went off, which is true,” Star explained. “One of my employees set one off on accident. It’s always protocol to come and check and alert the police that there may be something wrong, obviously.” Jeffree Star also posted this on his Instagram stories. Jeffree says that on a dispatch call, police said a silent alarm was triggered. pic.twitter.com/bKxET0lSAR — Def Noodles (@defnoodles) January 26, 2021 “Thank you to the police of Chatsworth for checking up on us, but nothing happened, and it was an accident,” he continued. “So, for everyone that was wishing it were true, you’re sick in the head.” Star has been accused of “faking” the robbery on his warehouse in 2019, with a few vocal critics claiming he made the entire ordeal up as a way to distract from previous scandals and even alleged that had only suffered $10,000 in losses, as opposed to the $2.5 million figure he initially gave his viewers. Star himself, however, has been adamant that this is not the case, and stands by his story to this day.

The popular YouTuber has also released his own line of cosmetics, ‘Jeffree Star Cosmetics’, which have been a massive hit, even collaborating with fellow creator Shane Dawson on one of his eyeshadow palettes, Conspiracy. Shortly after the release of his new collection on May 22, however, it was revealed that counterfeit products featuring his brand were being sold on Wish’s marketplace. After discovering that even some of his photos were being used to promote these fake JSC palettes, Jeffree called on Wish to remove the listings from the site and to stop featuring them in their advertisements. “Hey Wish can you please take down & stop promoting + selling counterfeit JSC palettes?” he asked, sharing an image of the product in a Wish Facebook ad. Hey @WishShopping can you please take down & stop promoting + selling counterfeit JSC palettes?? AND using my own images to sell it is so low. I don’t even wanna know what horrible ingredients are in these products. pic.twitter.com/zo7Z5MCokF — Jeffree Star (@JeffreeStar) June 6, 2020 Star said it was even worse that they had used his images to sell the fake palettes and that the ingredients used were probably “horrible”. “And using my own images to sell it is so low. I don’t even wanna know what horrible ingredients are in these products,” he continued. We take brand protection seriously and are starting to investigate this report now. — WishShopping (@WishShopping) June 6, 2020 Wish has now responded to Jeffree’s claims, after much backlash from his fans, confirming that they are currently investigating the suspicious listings.

Every day I wake up grateful.” Jeffree Star then goes on to explain how difficult the experience with the Illuminati was, while also mentioning the other major backlash and drama the content creator has been at the center of in the past year. “You have no idea what you are talking about… It’s 10 times worse than you can ever imagine. Just be thankful you are on the other side… “In 2020 I was going to expose everything… In a matter of days, the Hollywood elite tried to ruin my entire career, villainize me and flooded the news with lies to discredit me. If you guys only knew the truth about what they are doing to Britney and Kayne.” At the beginning of 2021, there were rumors Jeffree Star and Kanye West were romantically linked following West’s divorce from Kim Kardashian. In January 2021, Star admitted on The BFF’s podcast he “played into it” because it was so ridiculous. He also clarified that he would never be into Kanye: “He’s too short for me, I’m not into that.” While Star is still widely popular, the influencer faced major backlash after he was accused of being racist. The final tweet from Star furthers the idea that he was targeted by Hollywood, with the content creator writing that “anyone who challenges the system gets eliminated.”

Jeffree Star slams people “bullying” Britney Spears amid makeup praise backlash YouTube: Jeffree Star / Instagram: britneyspearsBeauty guru Jeffree Star has slammed people who are “bullying” Britney Spears after she uploaded an Instagram post praising him for his makeup products, which she later went on to delete. Singer Britney Spears’ conservatorship was finally terminated in November after 13 years, following passionate campaigning from fans around the world. Among those to congratulate the iconic star on her newfound freedom was beauty YouTuber Jeffree Star, who appeared to have sent the star a gift consisting of some of the products from his wildly popular makeup company, Jeffree Star cosmetics. Spears went on to upload an Instagram post thanking Star for the products, writing: “Thank you for sending me the coolest makeup ever!” Spears wrote. “I won’t say it to sound self-righteous or anything, but Jeffree Star’s Holy Mist is the BOMB! … Jeffree Star, you are a genius!” However, the post was quickly met with backlash from those who cited his past controversies, which eventually led to her deleting the post altogether. On November 20, Jeffree responded to the hate Britney was receiving in an Instagram story. “It’s crazy that someone who has been in a mental prison for 13 years finds joy in something and y’all gotta bully her into deleting her post,” he said. “That is so sad.” He went on to say: “You guys know I never touch on these types of subjects anymore. I’m so past ‘drama’ and ‘tea.’ But this isn’t drama, this is mental health. This is literally a woman that was locked in her house, and has been through hell. And she was bullied for liking a makeup product. Isn’t that crazy? Because some of you motherf**kers can’t let go of what happened 20 years ago in my past.” Many commenters seem to agree with Jeffree’s stance, but at the time of writing, Britney has yet to comment on his response. Jeffree says he plans on uploading a video about the situation.

There’s no denying that a large part of Jeffree Star’s appeal as a YouTube personality is his enormous wealth. His ridiculously luxurious mansions have made for enviable house tours, and his extensive business and industry knowledge only helped skyrocket the intrigue about him. His feature in Shane Dawson’s ‘The Secret World of Jeffree Star’ series seemed to only escalate the interest in the beauty personality, but also his overall popularity. However, this extreme wealth and popularity undoubtedly has some nasty side effects. It has appeared that the honeymoon phase has been over for a while now, ever since both Shane and Jeffree were embroiled in various scandals that had them uploading apology videos and losing subscribers fast. People were distinctly less enthusiastic about Jeffree’s wealth when he uploaded a picture of him sitting on the steps of his private jet on Twitter, the caption reading “time to head to Wyoming and get away from the fires for a few days. My asthma is not having it.” ok we don’t care about your rich privilege jeffree. get your cheap ass jet and head out the door❤❤ pic.twitter.com/PQpw5zm4wj — jade (@tiktokteahouse) September 11, 2020 This comes in the wake of the fires in California that are said to be caused by a gender reveal gone wrong. According to the BBC, the El Dorado fire has burned over 7000 acres of land and counting, leading to poor air quality and dangerous living conditions for many. Twitter users were furious at his unnecessary comment, taking to the replies of the now-deleted tweet to express their frustration and disappointment. One user said: “wow good for you. Could have just left the bit about the fires out. Most people don’t get to just leave on a private jet. Just stinks of you rubbing it in others’ faces.” Other replies called the post “beyond tone-deaf.” Wow good for you. Could have just left the bit about the fires out. Most people don’t get to just leave on a private jet. Just stinks of you rubbing it in others faces. Hope you get some class while you’re there. — Kayla (@kknator510) September 11, 2020 wow aren’t you lucky, huh jeffree? some ppl just have to sit and deal with it and maybe die because no one with a mf soul has a private jet just ready to save you from apocalyptic events. stop posting. — desert ?️? goblin (@riotslugs) September 11, 2020 Another commented on his inability to see the bigger picture, saying “while you’re worried about your asthma people are losing their homes and their lives. If only everyone had their very own private jet to fly away from the fires for a few days.” while you’re worried about your asthma people are losing their homes and their lives. if only everyone had their very own private jet to fly away from the fires for a few days — mya ? (@myastudyvin) September 10, 2020 While you can hop on a private jet to escape the fires, I hope you will be donating funds and supplies to those who have lost everything. The fire fighters, local animal shelters, people who are evacuating etc. — Kayla MacDonald (@KaylaMacDonald_) September 10, 2020 Jeffree later went on to delete his original tweet but has not yet made any further comments, though has kept the videos on his Instagram story of him posing inside the jet.

Jeffree Star calls James Charles a “danger to society” as Tati drama rolls on Jeffree Star – Instagram / James Charles – YouTubeSuperstar YouTuber Jeffree Star has had some strong words to say about fellow beauty product mogul James Charles amid is continuing drama involving Tati Westbrook. Over the past few days, James Charles’ explosive feud and drama with Tati has captured all of the entertainment headlines, leading him to lose nearly three million subscribers since early May 10. As a result of this massive slide, Jeffree Star managed to overtake Charles as the biggest beauty-based channel on YouTube, and now leads him by well over one million subs. While Star managed to not involve himself with the drama much early on, he finally stepped out and posted a very fiery tweet aimed at Charles, which has since been deleted. “There is a reason that Nathan [Star’s Husband] banned James Charles from ever coming over to our home again,” he wrote. “There’s a reason why I haven’t seen him since Tati’s birthday in February. He is a danger to society. Everything Tati said is 100% true.” separate deleted tweet, Star had a very harsh response to Charles’ 17-year-old brother, Ian, who had tried his best to defend his brother on social media: “Why does everyone act so tough on the internet?”“Why is your brother a predator?” Star responded. “Why’d you really move back to New York City? Exactly. So shut the f**k up.” Both parties would end up deleting their tweets, as their exchange drew a lot of negative attention from fans, especially when it came to Star’s tough reply. tearful Instagram story of her own, in which she admitted to feeling betrayed, used, and alone. She followed that up by a 43-minute video called ‘Bye Sister,’ in which she slammed Charles’ behavior and personality and effectively cut her ties with him, after having been his close friend and mentor for over three years. Since that video went live, Charles’ subscriber count has been at a steady free-fall, dropping more than 2.5 million subs and going from over 16 million to now around 13.5 million, despite the fact that he published a video apologizing to Tati. It’s not clear when his channel will stop leaking subs, or when the drama will subside, but there is no doubting that this will leave a major mark on Charles’ career for as long as he continues to do YouTube.

Jeffree Star, Austin McBroom & James Charles “dangerous” photoshoot gets monkey handler in trouble YouTube: The Ace Family, Jeffree Star, James Charles / Pexels.com – Alexandr PodvalnyYoutubers Austin McBroom, James Charles and Jeffree Star were part of a marketing campaign that saw them pose with monkeys for a clothing brand — but now, the animal handler is in hot water over the photo op. In November 2020, several high-profile internet stars were seen posing with a capuchin monkey and a baboon on social media as part of a promotion by clothing brand ‘Bananas Monkey.’ Makeup moguls Jeffree Star and James Charles were among the influencers involved in the promo, alongside YouTuber-turned-boxer Austin McBroom, a few TikTokers, and others. At the time of the photoshoots, many of the influencers involved in the campaign were met with stern backlash from animal rights activists and their own fan bases, with some dubbing the marketing stunt “abusive” and “exploitative” toward the animals. https://twitter.com/yashar/status/1326400668714872832?ref_src=twsrctfwtwcamptweetembedtwterm1326400668714872832twgrtwcons1_&ref_url=httpswww.insider.cominfluencer-pose-with-monkeys-face-backlash-2020-11 Animal handler reprimanded after influencers pose with monkeys Although the photo ops were met with major dissent online when it first happened, news on the subject quickly died down… until reports surfaced a year later that claimed the monkeys’ handler had gotten in trouble for it. According to an October 4 press release, PETA had filed a complaint with the USDA regarding the incident, claiming that animal handler Kevin Keith was possibly in violation of the Animal Welfare Act and calling the photo op “dangerous,” lest Keith had lost control of the monkeys. Well, it seems that Keith has been reprimanded. TMZ reports that the USDA has issued him a “stern warning” with instructions to “correct his behavior moving forward.” Government inspectors also claim that Keith failed to “adequately maintain direct control of the animals” while they shook hands, crawled on shoulders, and cheesed for the camera during the promo event. Thus far, no word has been heard from Keith regarding the incident, and none of the aforementioned celebs have spoken out on the matter at the time of writing.

Jeffree Star blasts James Charles & Tati Westbrook drama for “ruining” YouTube beauty community YouTube: Jeffree Star, James Charles, Tati WestbrookMakeup mogul Jeffree Star sat down with Logan Paul to discuss his career — including the “dramageddon” that happened in 2019 between James Charles & Tati Westbrook. In 2019, online beauty guru James Charles was the subject of a major internet scandal after fellow influencer Tati Westbrook published a video accusing him of inappropriate behavior. The video took over the internet in short order, causing Charles to lose hundreds of thousands of subscribers as viewers rescinded their support for the star. Charles later uploaded a (now-deleted) video detailing his side of the story, titled ‘No More Lies,’ which resulted in significant pushback over Tati’s previous claims. Westbrook then created another explanatory video, where she claimed that YouTubers Jeffree Star and Shane Dawson had driven her to create her initial exposé. This sparked significant backlash against both stars, resulting in Dawson ultimately being ousted from YouTube due to public outrage. Since then, Dawson has been slowly but surely making his way back to creating content, while Star has moved out to Wyoming to start his very own Yak ranch. Star appeared on a June 14 episode of Logan Paul’s IMPAULSIVE podcast to discuss his current pursuits when the crew asked him why he’s been uploading less content on YouTube. Star cited drama within the beauty community as the reason for him distancing himself from the scene, referencing the issue with Tati as part of his withdrawal. “I think beauty overall on YouTube is kinda dead,” he explained. “All the drama. All the craziness, all the personalities… it got so unfun. So f**king toxic. So dark and ugly.” “All those people were awful. They wanted to villainize me, cause me and Shane were the most successful. We had the biggest launch in makeup history. …it was so cool, and people got mad at how successful we got.” Paul then mentioned the “James and Tati stuff” from 2019 — which Star answered, “ruined the beauty community.” “That was an atom bomb,” he said of the fallout. “…It was really crazy.” (Topic begins at 33:55) For now, Star says he’s thriving at his home in Wyoming, where he’s busy keeping up his Yak ranch — far away from the LA drama, which Paul himself also relocated from last year in favor of Puerto Rico.

Jeffree star allegedly backs down from James Charles beef over fear of being “exposed” Jeffree Star, James Charles – YouTubePopular beauty YouTuber James Charles made the comeback of a lifetime, following damaging allegations brought forward by fellow YouTubers Tati Westbrook and Jeffree Star – the latter of whom claimed to have “receipts” that would expose Charles for “mass manipulation” of his fanbase. However, Star quickly backed down from his vehement stance against Charles, uploading a YouTube video on May 19 calling for an end to the drama where he apologized to the young beauty guru. “I don’t want to play the games anymore,” Star explained. “…I am not going to fuel this fire bigger so everyone can get more entertainment. Because, behind the scenes, this isn’t funny. These are our real lives.” Despite his explanation, some sources are claiming that Star’s real reasons for stepping away from the drama were over fear of being “exposed” for certain dirt that Charles has on the makeup mogul. Celebrity news outlet Hollywood Life reported that sources close to the matter claimed that Star had pulled out of the scandal for this very reason – a likely story, given that he suddenly changed his tune on the subject despite calling Charles a “predator” and a “danger to society” in now-deleted Tweets. [Timestamp: 1:53 for mobile viewers] Both Star and Tati have since moved away from the subject, with Tati stating that she will no longer make “any further public comments” on the matter following her “digital break” from social media. James Charles’ comeback came as a major surprise to fans across the net, after Tati had accused the YouTuber of using his fame to “manipulate” the sexuality of straight men and promoting her direct competitor, ‘SugarBearHear,’ without proper warning – despite their former status as close friends. Charles later debunked each and every claim Tati had made in a following video, where he used screenshots of texts as proof of his counterpoints, and even addressed allegations made by Star, in the process. Although he lost nearly 3 million subscribers in wake of the debacle, Charles has since managed to regain his 15 million subscriber milestone following the release of his “No More Lies” video, despite doubts that he would ever recover from the drama.

Jeffree Star and Shane Dawson spark backlash over first collab since drama Youtube, Jeffree StarYouTubers Jeffree Star and Shane Dawson have been subject to a fair amount of backlash over the last year, forcing Dawson to temporarily leave the internet. Star has just announced their first collab together since it all went down, and it’s sparked a fair bit of criticism from netizens. Continuously one of the biggest beauty YouTubers, Jeffree Star has maintained over 16 million subscribers on the channel he started in 2006. However, over the past year, the makeup mogul has had to face continuous accusations of racism as well as allegedly having a romantic relationship with rapper Kanye West. When it comes to Shane Dawson’s situation, things are similar to his friend. However, after rumors of being investigated for multiple charges surfaced, the creator decided to step away from the internet temporarily before facing backlash with his first return just a few months later. Jeffree Star has recently revealed that he will be uploading a video with the controversial creator soon on his YouTube channel, Dawson’s first official online appearance since he left the platform a year ago. Jeffree Star and Shane Dawson collab In a tweet posted on September 27 by Star, the creator revealed that the duo’s makeup collaboration has made its way to Nordstrom Rack, a store that Jeffree seemingly does not enjoy having his makeup in. Making a bad situation even worse, the store has put his product on the clearance shelf.

One Twitter user had this to say about the announcement: “Who tf said it was okay for Shane to come back on the internet?? I bet Jeffree is going to turn off comments and dislikes.” Who tf said it was okay for Shane to comeback on the internet?? I bet Jeffree is going to turn off comments and dislikes🙄 — Stream Altar (@Highflyingy) September 29, 2021 Others imply that they’re excited about Dawson’s return, but believe that being involved with Jeffree is a bad look for him. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 Jeffree is such a bad look for Shane. Like, he’s not gonna save your reputation. I don’t get why he’s collabing with him before even making a “return”. Whatever I guess. I don’t care about these people. — Mirela (@majesty_mirela) September 29, 2021 Given the fact that the video is supposed to be uploaded in a matter of days, it’s likely too late to back out from any type of collaboration between the two. There are even conspiracies that they are about to launch a new line of makeup together… a big development after their first beauty collaboration in 2019.

Jeffree Star adds 80 acres to sprawling Wyoming yak ranch Star Yak Ranch/InstagramJeffree Star has officially added 80 more acres to his massive Wyoming yak ranch — yes, you read that right. Star might be best known for being a social media star and makeup mogul, but he’s now breaking into the field of animal husbandry, as well. Unexpected? A bit, yes, but things seem to be going pretty well for the internet sensation. Located just outside of Casper, Wyoming, the Star Yak Ranch is where Jeffree has set up shop raising Tibetan yaks. Now, the herd will have a bit more room to roam — 80 acres, to be exact. View this post on Instagram On August 5, Star announced via Instagram that he’s added 80 more acres to the ranch, bringing the total area to more than 500 acres of “yak heaven.” “We are so excited to announce that we just added 80 more acres to the Star Yak Ranch!” he wrote on Instagram. “That’s over 500 acres of yak heaven now and we couldn’t be happier!” Jeffree seems to be loving life on the open range, and said on Instagram in July, “I have my own growing family of them and it’s been amazing to bond and spend time with such majestic animals.” View this post on Instagram Wyoming — now Jeffree Star central? So, in addition to his other ventures, we could be seeing Jeffree Star yak-related products on the market soon as well. Beyond these bovines though, the social media star seems like he’s making Wyoming his center of operations. In addition to the Star Yak Ranch, he announced in April that he would be opening a fulfillment center in Casper to ship products from his Killer Merch and Star Lounge brands nationwide. Star seems set on trading the big city for the countryside, and based on how happy he seems with his yaks, can you really blame him? Either way, Casper, Wyoming might be one of the best places for a Jeffree Star sighting going forward as he continues to set up shop.

Jeffree Star adds fuel to Kanye West affair rumors with cryptic posts Instagram: jeffreestar / YouTube: PowerfulJREAfter bizarre rumors emerged that he’d had an affair with musician Kanye West, Jeffree Star has posted a series of references to the drama that have added even more confusion to the strange situation. TikToker Ava Louise caused a stir on the viral video sharing app after she uploaded a TikTok explaining that she had heard from ‘very good sources’ that Kanye West had been having an affair with beauty guru YouTuber Jeffree Star. As bizarre as the theory was, it quickly gained traction on the app, with multiple other users giving their opinion on why they believe it could be real, amid rumors the celebrity couple would divorce. While no party has made an official response to the claims amid the social media whirlwind, Jeffree Star has not shied away from making reference to the crazy drama, and in a series of cryptic tweets has fans even more confused over whether the rumors are real.

Jeffree Star addresses “predator” accusations against James Charles Jeffree Star, James Charles – YouTubeYouTuber and makeup mogul Jeffree Star has addressed claims made against fellow beauty guru James Charles in 2019, where he accused the young entertainer of “predatory” behavior. James Charles notably came under fire in May 2019, after mentor and fellow YouTuber Tati Westbrook accused her protegee of using his fame to manipulate the sexuality of straight men, among other accusations. This led to a slew of comments from other creators in YouTube beauty space addressing the topic — most notably from Jeffree Star, who dubbed Charles a “danger to society” in a now-deleted Tweet, where he also admitted to banning him from his home. That’s not all: Star even called Charles a “predator” in a deleted Tweet response to the YouTuber’s 17-year-old brother Ian Jeffrey, appearing to tie his move back to New York City as part of Charles’ alleged behavior. However, Charles later came out with a video debunking Tati’s claims, leading to backlash against Tati and the resurgence of the thousands of subscriber’s he’d lost — as well as an apology video from Star. Despite a year having passed since the scandal, Star’s “predator” accusations against Charles were brought up once more in an April 2020 episode of the FaZe Banks’ ‘Mom’s Basement’ podcast, causing Star to clarify his stance on the topic. “The truth is that someone — and right now, I legally can’t say who — told us a few things,” he explained. “And we trusted that person’s opinion. And then another person said some things that was friends with that man, and it really convinced us that he was a predator.” (Topic begins at 43:50 for mobile readers) That’s not all: Star went on to call one of his sources a “victim” of Charles, and even claimed to have potential evidence of the accusations on his phone, but ultimately held back from exposing his sources’ identities for fear of legal backlash and uncertainty over the truth of the matter. Since the podcast episode aired, critics have hit back at Star for seemingly lying about his previous accusations against James Charles — but he clarified that they have no drama between them, and even invited the “Instant Influencer” host for a chat to discuss the scandal. For now, all fans can do is watch and wait to see if Charles accepts his invitation a year after dramageddon struck the beauty community.

Jeffree Star addresses “rebound” rumors following Nathan Schwandt split YouTube: Jeffree StarMakeup mogul Jeffree Star has responded to rumors that he’s dating fellow YouTube makeup guru Mitchell ‘MMMMitchell’ Halliday following his breakup with ex-boyfriend Nathan Schwandt. Star and Schwandt dated for five years after they met via Instagram in 2014, before they split in December 2019. The YouTuber cited the pair’s mental health as a partial reason for the breakup in a video titled “We Broke Up” on January 11. “This isn’t an internet fight. This isn’t drama, this isn’t tea, this is my real life, and me and my soulmate are really going through it,” he said. Following the separation, rumors started to swirl that the beauty star was dating fellow makeup guru MMMMitchell after a video of the two watching the sun rise together were posted onto his Instagram story in late January. On February 16, Star finally addressed the speculation. Jeffree Star addresses MMMMitchell dating rumors In a video titled “Addressing The Purple ISSUES” in which MMMMitchell did his friend’s makeup using the upcoming Blood Lust palette from Jeffree Star Cosmetics, the makeup mogul quickly shut down the speculation. “We’re having a laugh today, by the way, because Mitchell is here in town in LA, he’s staying at my house,” Star began, with his friend chiming in with a quick “in a separate room!” after which the pair burst into fits of giggles. “Mitchell and I, we were watching the sun rise and for some reason, a few [YouTube] channels and news sites popped up like “Is this Jeffree’s rebound?” … All jokes aside, the last thing I’m trying to do is be in a relationship with anyone,” he continued. “Me and Mitchell are really close friends!” (Timestamp 1:22 for mobile viewers.) Ending with a joke about the rumors, the 34-year-old exclaimed “So today, he is gonna create a really sickening look. No, we are not sleeping together, but, uh, I think we should start!” which caused MMMitchell to burst into laughter. “I think that 2019 was full of a lot of treachery, treachery and just really crazy things, so I think that 2020 just really needs to go back to the focus of makeup and beauty and artistry, so here we are!” he finished. Star and Mitchell first met in 2018 and have remained close friends, with the pair scheduled to go on a makeup masterclass tour together in Europe before it was postponed after the breakup with Schwandt. https://www.instagram.com/p/B4mUOqnnJ78/ Jeffree and Nathan are said to still be friends though, despite the split, with the YouTuber himself revealing that his ex stills comes over to visit their dogs. “Nate came over the other day and visited the dogs and it was so beautiful. There’s no custody battle, he can come over here whenever he wants… I think there’s a lot of things behind closed doors that people never know,” he said.

Jeffree Star addresses criticism after old photos resurface online Jeffree Star, YouTube[jwplayer mgzBNoPb]Makeup mogul and YouTuber Jeffree Star has addressed public outrage after receiving backlash from fans over controversial older photos of himself, as well as “offensive” comments he’d made in the past. Star became the subject of scrutiny in early June after old photos surfaced of the beauty guru posing by a fan who’d draped a Confederate flag around their shoulders in a Visalia, CA diner. Many found the pictures distasteful and accused Star of racist behavior — claims that he addressed in a lengthy Twitter post on June 18. “I was asked to be in that photo for shock value because I was ‘gay’ and and obviously not what the flag represents,” he explained. “I was mocking the flag but now see how ugly and wrong it is to be next to it.” That isn’t the only issue Star responded to in his post, either; he likewise touched on other old photos that surfaced on a website that showed the YouTuber engaging in harmful behavior, and pleaded with critics to avoid sharing the disturbing pictures. “I’m asking anyone who reposted or shared the image of me [hurting] myself to please stop,” he continued. “I let someone photograph me when I was really young… Self-mutilation was something I was addicted to as a teenager and has always haunted me.” Star also addressed divisive comments he made about “anyone who was obsessed with makeup” when he was 17 years old, claiming the offensive term was similarly made for “shock value.” ADDRESSING LIPSTICK N*Zi AND OLD PHOTOS: pic.twitter.com/Y3El8gXr3g — Jeffree Star (@JeffreeStar) June 18, 2020 “It does not reflect who I am today or what I stand for or have EVER stood for,” the YouTuber wrote. “…The word itself is disgusting and I will always be deeply sorry to anyone who had to see that and will continue to be sorry for all the dumb, vile s**t I said in my past.” Thus far, fan opinions are divided on Star’s latest statement, which comes after his shocking 100 + subscriber loss following allegations from fellow YouTuber and former friend Kameron Lester on June 10. https://www.instagram.com/tv/CBQ4_hVpHVS/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Star has yet to comment on Lester’s accusations at the time of writing.

Jeffree Star addresses Kanye West affair rumors: “This whole thing is really funny” YouTube: Jeffree StarPopular YouTuber and makeup mogul Jeffree Star has finally addressed the rumors surrounding an alleged affair between himself and rapper Kanye West, who many internet detectives claim is linked to his purported divorce from Kim Kardashian. On January 6, TikTok star Ava Louise sparked a rumor that swept across the online world like wildfire, insinuating that beauty guru Jeffree Star was behind the divorce between Kim and Kanye. The TikToker alleged that Kanye and a certain male influencer had been in a secret love affair, which Star appeared to joke about in a series of snarky tweets referencing Kanye’s musical career. However, it appears that these claims are nothing but rumors, as told by Star himself in a YouTube video uploaded just a day later. “I guess some girl made up a whole lie on TikTok, and it went ‘viral,’” Star said of the scandal. “Where she insinuates Kanye and Kim are getting a divorce because a big male beauty influencer is sleeping with him.” “Let me just say this one time for any news outlet: I like very tall men. Me and Kanye have never hung out, and this whole thing is really funny,” he continued. “I guess if this is a start to my new year, happy new year! …I really can’t, and if Kris Jenner organized this whole thing, happy new year, sweetie girl!” (Topic begins at 2:42) Star isn’t the only one involved to refute the claims, either; a source close to Kim Kardashian and Kanye West has stated that “there is absolutely no truth to Jeffree and Kanye rumors,” as reported by E! Online. Similarly, another source told NBC News that the couple is experiencing “regular relationship issues,” clarifying that “there is no one else involved” in their divorce. This latest development has caused quite the outrage online, with many calling for Ava Louise to take accountability for spreading story on TikTok. Louise went viral in 2020 after licking a toilet seat amid the global health crisis, sparking mass criticism online against her. For now, it seems as though the Jeffree/Kanye rumors have been officially put to bed. What a way to kick off 2021!

Jeffree Star accused of “stealing” mascara design from small brand YouTube: Jeffree StarA small brand owner on TikTok has claimed that beauty guru Jeffree Star ‘stole’ the design for his new mascara from her – though not everyone is convinced by the accusations. Jeffree Star is undoubtedly one of the biggest names in the beauty industry. While his career has gone down many different routes, he is best known for being a beauty YouTuber, as well as the owner of the wildly popular Jeffree Star Cosmetics. While his products regularly sell out relatively quickly after launch, he has faced various different controversies in the past regarding various different issues with his products. This has ranged from people finding defects in certain shades or having issues with some of his mature product names. Following the launch of Jeffree’s ‘F**k Proof Mascara,’ TikTok user and owner of beauty brand Heaux Cosmetics, Lydia Dupra, claimed that the beauty mogul had stolen the idea from her. Read More: Bryce Hall claims he’s now worth over $10m – “Normally I wouldn’t care as much as I actually do,” she explained, “but he’s advocated so hard about protecting indie brands that it just seems hypocritical.” Lydia explained that her company had been making makeup with a similar theme for over a year. In a follow-up video, the brand owner claimed that Jeffree trademarked “F**k Proof” less than a month after she tagged him in a post about her company in an attempt to send him a PR box. Read More: How play MrBeast’s Finger on the App 2 – She also said, “for those of you saying, ‘he trademarked it in 2019,’ cool, my company came out in 2019.” This is in response to people finding evidence that Jeffree filed to trademark “F**k Proof” in September 2019. Jeffree Star filed the trademark registration for “F*ck Proof” on September 2019. pic.twitter.com/gEncgvzdSx — Def Noodles (@defnoodles) March 19, 2021 However, many were dubious about the small business owner’s claims. One commenter said: “I literally don’t support Jeffree at ALL but he has a whole production team and I can almost guarantee you that he doesn’t know you at all.” Others defended Lydia, saying: “girl, you have every reason to be upset! Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise!” Jeffree has yet to respond to the claims.

On June 14, 2023, a clip of Jeffree Star went viral across social media showing his property surrounded by police after an apparent swatting. He’s since gone live to talk about the situation on TikTok, sharing a few more details about the incident as fans attempted to figure out who the influencer thought was behind it.

Jeffree Star accused of groping underage boy at concert YouTube: Jeffree StarJeffree Star has been accused of groping an underage boy at a concert without their consent. The allegation comes after multiple people stepped forward with allegations against the former musician turned YouTube beauty star in 2020. The latest set of sexual assault allegations against Jeffery Star were made public by TikTok user Drake Cherry. In a video, Cherry alleged Star walked up to him at a concert at Chain Reaction in Anaheim, California — an all-ages venue — and “grabbed [his] a**.” “In between one of the bands, I went outside to have a cigarette, and then I bent over to tie my shoe and someone grabbed my ass. Someone grabbed my f**king a**. It was like a f**king grab, not a [tap],” he said. “I immediately popped up, and you’re never going to guess who is was — Jeffree Star grabbed my a**.” Cherry said that he was underage at the time, but did not confirm exactly how old he was, or when the incident took place. The video is still live on TikTok, with over 28,000 views and 3,000 likes. Star, now 35, has been accused numerous times of sexual assault. One incident dating back to 2009 when he was 23 reportedly involved Star using a taser on a 18-year-old homeless teen and drugging them up before having unconsensual sex, according to an investigation by Insider in 2020. That same investigation claimed Star repeated that behavior multiple times across 2009 and 2010, back when he was touring as an electropop musician. Star has repeatedly denied these claims. Star is yet to comment on the latest set of allegations.

Jeff Wittek threatens David Dobrik with legal action after apology for 2021 accident Jeff Wittek/Instagram: daviddobrikStar YouTuber Jeff Wittek has threatened legal action against David Dobrik after The Vlog Squad leader finally publicly addressed their beef, stemming from Wittek’s 2021 injuries. Influencer and podcaster Jeff Wittek officially ended his friendship with YouTube superstar David Dobrik on February 24, and called him a “scumbag.” Wittek nearly lost his eye during a stunt involving a crane that Dobrik was operating last year, leading to a lengthy recovery which Wittek is still undergoing surgeries for. On March 8, Dobrik publicly claimed he would “do anything” to resolve the accident after Wittek had severed their friendship. Now, during Wittek’s response to David’s video, he’s hinted at future legal action over his injuries. Jeff Wittek threatens to sue David Dobrik Wittek posted his response video on March 9, claiming Dobrik and co-host Jason Nash were “liars”, and that David saw him and other Vlog Squad members as “pawns.” Read More: Joe Rogan & MrBeast accuse TikTok of spying – While wrapping up the video Jeff hinted at potentially taking legal action. He said: “I’m not gonna beat you up anymore. I’m just gonna take this the right way, the smart way, and just let the courts decide, ya know. You’re making a lot of statements here that are very untrue, that are so easy to disprove.” (Time starts at 38:10 for mobile users) He continued: “Let’s just let the courts decide and you’ll have to sign a paper that says, ‘Yeah, this was a lie and I’m guilty of this and that,’ and we can go that route about it. Because let’s be honest, I get no points for beating you up. It just sucks how badly you fumbled this.” Jeff documented the aftermath of his injury in a video series titled ‘Don’t Try This At Home’ on his YouTube channel, revealing just how life-threatening the situation was.

Jeff Wittek sends brutal callout to his friend David Dobrik for boxing match YouTube: Jeff Wittek / Instagram: DAVIDDOBRIKFormer Vlog Squad star Jeff Wittek has called out David Dobrik after accepting a challenge to a boxing bout, amid drama over Dobrik endangering his life using a crane. The Jeff Wittek-David Dobrik controversy has rattled fans over the course of 2021. It all began when Wittek appeared on the Frenemies podcast and revealed he almost lost an eye – and potentially his life – after being swung around on a crane controlled by Dobrik. While the drama simmered for a short while, on June 20 Dobrik jokingly challenged Wittek to a fight to resolve their differences. “I’ll see you in the ring,” Dobrik laughed when asked who he’d like to take on in a Youtubers vs TikTokers-style event. And in his June 21 vlog, Wittek issued a blunt response: “100k likes and I’ll smash David’s skull. Sign the contract, Dave.” With the video now on well over 130k likes, the possibility of a fight has never looked so realistic. Wittek answered further questions about the potential fight several days later, and went into rather gruesome detail about the tactics he’d use to get one over his old friend. “I’m gonna kick that motherf***er’s head, I’m gonna smash his head in,” Wittek explained. “And David, if you’re watching this, you’re dead when I get my hands on you, I’m gonna smash your skull. “I’ll give you the crane in the ring, you can walk out on it and I’ll be smoking a cigarette and I’ll still bust you up. You’ll have to cut a hole in your boxing glove to poke my good eye.” While the war of words seems to have a tongue-in-cheek element to it, there’s no doubt a bout between the pair would draw plenty of eager eyes, especially with added animosity towards Dobrik over the sexual assault allegations towards former Vlog Squad member Dominykas ‘Durte Dom’ Zeglaitis. Regardless, if Wittek and Dobrik do get their gloves on, you can expect a no-holds-barred state of affairs, and it would promise to be one of the spiciest content creator battles yet.

Jeff Wittek slams “scumbag” David Dobrik and pulls set from Bryce Hall roast Instagram: jeff / daviddobrikYouTuber Jeff Wittek has revealed he chose to have his set cut from the Bryce Hall roast due to “censorship” and David Dobrik’s involvement. Backlash against the Vlog Squad’s David Dobrik erupted online in 2021, after Jeff Wittek revealed that he had been seriously injured in a stunt gone wrong, with Dobrik swinging people around from an excavator they put in a lake. Although they appeared to be on relatively good terms initially, in a live stream in February 2022, Wittek revealed that Dobrik hadn’t messaged him to check in, saying: “Nope. Not a text or nothing. Not surprised, you know. It is what it is… I’m done being fake friends with that motherf**ker.” Then on February 23, Wittek announced that he chose to have his set cut from the roast for TikToker Bryce Hall due to “censorship” and Dobrik’s involvement. I’m no longer a part of the roast of Bryce hall. My entire set will be cut due to censorship, and David Dobrik being involved. I refuse to be a part of anything that scumbag is involved in from here on out. — Jeff Wittek (@jeffwittek) February 23, 2022 “I’m no longer a part of the roast of Bryce Hall,” he wrote. “My entire set will be cut due to censorship, and David Dobrik being involved. I refuse to be a part of anything that scumbag is involved in from here on out.” After Hall responded saying, “did I miss a chapter?” Wittek explained: “I chose to have my set cut. they tried to remove half my jokes. This was supposed to be a COMEDY show! I didn’t say anything I wouldn’t say in my own YouTube videos or podcasts. This is all because that coward was there and he can’t take jokes.” I chose to have my set cut. they tried to remove half my jokes. This was supposed to be a COMEDY show!

Jeff Wittek reveals real reason he “lost all respect” for David Dobrik YouTube: David Dobrik/Jeff WittekAfter days of calling out David Dobrik online, calling him a “fake friend” and a “sociopath,” former Vlog Squad member Jeff Wittek has revealed the real reason he’s so annoyed at his former friend — and it circles right back to the devastating excavator accident that almost cost him his life. In June 2020, Dobrik was planning his grand return to YouTube and was filming a bunch of crazy content that he knew his fans would love. This resulted in him swinging Wittek around on an excavator crane and, eventually, hitting him into the side of the machinery. Jeff filmed a series of videos about it, including his visits to the hospital, with surgeries still ongoing to this day. In February 2022, Wittek said he was done being “fake friends” with Dobrik before also labeling him a scumbag. Jeff went on his JEFF FM podcast which was published on February 25 to speak more about the problem with Dobrik, explaining why he’s actually so furious with the YouTube star. “There’s more to why I’m pissed off and why I’m lashing out and why I’m finally speaking up than just him not texting me,” Wittek explained. “The real reason I was mad — it’s going to come out publicly in a month anyway — but David filmed a documentary and the producer of the documentary called me to show me the clip of when David addressed the situation with the crane. “He said that it was my fault. David blamed me. He insinuated that I was crazy, that I wanted to push it and I’m the reason that this happened when that’s complete bulls**t.” Timestamp 13:24 He also said that Casey Neistat has a documentary coming, with Casey showing him a clip that “p**sed him off,” but that it would show both him and David what’s coming. Jeff went on to reel off the reasons behind his beef with David, adding that the one thing he asked of Dobrik was that he didn’t make it seem as though Jeff wanted to get on the crane as a clout-chasing method, signaling how badly he feels let down by this now happening. It seems as though this relationship is just about irreparable at this point, but Dobrik hasn’t yet commented publicly on the beef.

Jeff Wittek reveals scary pain medication experience that resulted in seizure Instagram: jeffwittekJeff Wittek revealed he suffered a seizure due to complications from pain medication after multiple surgeries following his viral crane accident in 2021. YouTuber and podcast host Jeff Wittek shocked the internet after revealing he’d nearly lost his left eye due to an accident involving a crane last year. The influencer took part in a stunt with fellow vlogger David Dobrik, who was operating a crane in the middle of a lake. Dobrik swung his friends around on the machinery as part of a jury-rigged joyride — but the incident ended in pain for Wittek. Wittek says that he could have lost his eye due to the ordeal, and has undergone multiple surgeries to correct the issue in the following months. He and David Dobrik are seemingly no longer on good terms, with Wittek notably calling the vlogger a “scumbag” before publicly parting ways with him in February. However, the aftermath of the accident didn’t end there. During an episode of his Jeff FM podcast on April 7, 2022, Wittek claimed that he’d suffered a seizure due to complications from the pain medication he takes as a result of his multiple surgeries. “She looks at my records, and she sees: ‘Okay, in the past year, you’ve been prescribed opiates ten times,’” he said of his doctor’s visit after the seizure. “And I’m like, ‘Yeah, I had nine surgeries. They give me pain meds after.’” “She’s like, ‘Oh no, we need to take all your meds off, so you can’t have Ambien anymore,’” he continued. “You b**ch! You took me off the one drug that helps me in life!” He joked. “I should have just f**king kept it quiet. That’s why people hide their illnesses!” (Topic begins at 10:30) Although Wittek humorously claimed he was upset with his doctor for taking him off the medication, fans are expressing concern over the YouTuber’s wellbeing and are wishing him well. This news comes after Wittek revealed he is filing a lawsuit against Dobrik over the accident, who has yet to comment on the subject at the time of writing.

Jeff Wittek officially sues David Dobrik over crane incident injuries Jeff Wittek/David DobrikYouTuber Jeff Wittek has officially filed his lawsuit against David Dobrik over the injuries he sustained during a stunt involving a crane – leaving Wittek with lifelong damage to his face. Jeff Wittek is officially suing former collaborator David Dobrik over the injuries he sustained during a Summer 2020 incident, where Wittek was injured via a crane that Dobrik was operating. Although Wittek initially claimed in 2021 that he wouldn’t sue David, he’s had a change of heart, leading to a lawsuit being filed against the head of the Vlog Squad. Jeff Wittek officially sues David Dobrik The 32-year-old is suing Dobrik for $10 million in damages, alleging that, due to the injuries he’s suffered, he’s dealt with wage losses and has racked up massive hospital bills. The plan that day was for various influencers to swing around the crane with a rope, planted in the Utah Lake, all for content for David’s big comeback to social media. David initially wanted people to swing on the rope holding objects, like a wakeboard, but then encouraged Wittek to swing without anything to hold on to. With David operating the crane, Wittek noticed the crane spinning too quickly and he crashed into the side of the crane. Dobrik did not specifically outline all of the injuries from the incident, but has revealed that he “nearly died” and almost lost complete vision in his eye. On top of that, he broke his foot, hip, and shattered his skull. Wittek has documented his eye surgeries on his YouTube channel, and released a documentary about the incident titled ‘Don’t Try This At Home.’

Jeff Wittek responds to David Dobrik’s boxing challenge after vlogging comeback YouTube: Jeff Wittek, Kevin WongYouTube star David Dobrik has finally made his grand return to vlogging — and it looks like he’s already got a boxing match lined up after the explosive drama with his friend, Jeff Wittek. David Dobrik and Jeff Wittek were once thick as thieves, regularly appearing in David’s vlogs together alongside Wittek’s independent ‘Barber Shop’ interview series. However, amid the backlash against Dobrik several months ago (which included allegations from former Vlog Squad members claiming that David had put them in precarious situations for his videos), Wittek claimed that he’d almost lost an eye due to one of David’s crazy stunts. In particular, Dobrik and crew had attached a rope to an excavator in the middle of a lake, from which they swung a few of their buddies, including Wittek. TW: I’ve never felt so angry at a dumb ass influencer before. David Dobrik needs to be stopped. He’s always been irresponsible at his friends expense for YOUTUBE videos. He COULD have been charged with manslaughter had Jeff been inches closer to the excavator. IM LIVIDDDDD pic.twitter.com/eT2wEde46k — Mauve 💭 (@katmauvearts) April 22, 2021 During the stunt, David began swinging the excavator around quite fast, resulting in Wittek’s eye becoming injured — so much so that a doctor claimed the situation “would have cut your eye right in half” had the wound been any higher. After the fallout between Wittek and Dobrik — during which Wittek claimed he would not press charges — the YouTubers vs TikTokers boxing event took place, effectively giving every influencer in Los Angeles the boxing bug. It seems that David Dobrik has also caught this fighting fever, as evidenced by an interview he gave shortly after his YouTube return. In the interview, Dobrik was asked who he would call out for a potential fight — and his choice was none other than Wittek. (Topic starts at 1:20) “This is a lot of pressure, because I know if I say it, I have to go through with it,” Dobrik joked before someone shouted out Jeff’s name. “Jeff Wittek, I’ll see you in the ring!” he laughed. It seems Wittek was more than happy to accept Dobrik’s request (joking or not), writing in his own video, “100k likes and I’ll smash David’s skull.” (Topic begins at 7:50) While things appear to have smoothened out between these two YouTubers, fans are certainly keen to see them face off considering their history, making for yet another highly-anticipated match amidst SteveWillDoIt vs Vitaly and even RiceGum vs iDubbz being discussed as potential bouts.

Jeff Wittek confirms he won’t sue David Dobrik after life-threatening accident YouTube: Jeff Wittek / David DobrikAfter a Vlog Squad excavator accident nearly cost him his life, Jeff Wittek has revealed that he has no plans to sue David Dobrik, who was operating the vehicle at the time of the incident. The internet was shocked when on April 22, Jeff uploaded the second part of a YouTube documentary showing the aftermath of his accident. In the episode, he revealed footage of the accident itself, which was a result of him being swung around at high speeds from an excavator operated by David Dobrik. Doctors explained that if his injury had happened few inches over he could have died. The documentary shows several key stages in Jeff’s recovery both physically and mentally, and follows him as he goes through different surgeries on his eye. Many viewers became angry at David, calling the YouTuber “irresponsible” for risking his friend’s life for the crazy stunt. But in a live stream via Patreon, Jeff confirmed that he has no intention of suing David over the accident. “Dr. Amen was like, he brought up a lawsuit, and I was like ‘no, that never crossed my mind,’” he said. “What we were doing was dumb, and I’m dumb for putting my life in David’s hands, and what David did was dumb. But just the way I was raised, you know, maybe it’s a good thing or it’s a bad thing that I’m loyal.” Read More: Jake Paul opens up on Floyd Mayweather brawl – He continued: “It affected my work, it affected my brain, but I’m just not that type of guy. When Dr. Amen heard what I said about that, he was like ‘if you sue people you mentally stay hurt.’ And that was good advice.” https://twitter.com/defnoodles/status/1393685201176256512 Going into his personal experiences with losing and gaining money in the past, Jeff explained that he has no interest in trying to get any money from a lawsuit. “I’ve been in every position, and I can genuinely say that money is not going to make you happy,” he said. “If I sue David for a few million dollars and I win, then I’ve sued my friend, now our f**king relationship’s f**ked, and I have to know that I got this money from being hurt.” “I’d feel like an idiot, I’d feel like sh*t. I’d feel bad for the rest of my life. So I’d rather take this and spin it into a positive thing where I can help people that were also hurt by a friend in an accident or a family member in an accident. To me, that means so much more than just getting a check.” Jeff wrapped up his documentary by releasing the final episode on May 15, with the series receiving a lot of praise from fans and viewers.

Jeff Wittek confronts Austin McBroom for potential boxing match YouTube: The ACE Family, Bryce HallYouTuber and podcast host Jeff Wittek has officially confronted fellow influencer Austin McBroom for a possible boxing match — but it doesn’t look like the ACE Family patriarch is interested in his proposal. Austin McBroom’s victory over Bryce Hall in the Battle of the Platforms boxing event took the internet by storm… but not as much as the payout drama that exploded shortly thereafter. Once the hype surrounding the YouTubers vs TikTokers grudge match died down, several influencers spoke out against organizer Austin McBroom. They claimed that they hadn’t been paid for their time in the ring, with amounts surging upwards of millions of dollars. That’s not all; big investors even took legal action against Broom due to losses ranging around $10 million, with names like Brooklyn Nets point guard James Harden among them. https://twitter.com/Dexerto/status/1403912580079497218?ref_src=twsrctfwtwcamptweetembedtwterm1403912580079497218twgrtwcons1_&ref_url=httpswww.dexerto.comentertainmentbattle-of-the-platforms-reportedly-lost-10-million-despite-big-investment-by-james-harden-1615891 This drama is part of what sparked YouTuber, barber, and podcaster Jeff Wittek to seek out a fight with McBroom, which he has mentioned on his podcast quite a few times to no avail. However, four months later, he finally got the chance to speak with McBroom over the phone… but it doesn’t seem like a fight between these two is in the cards. During an October 20 vlog on Bryce Hall’s YouTube channel, the TikTok star met up with Wittek to score a sick new mullet and discuss his lost wages from McBroom when the entire group decided to get the two on the phone together. Jeff Wittek calls out Austin McBroom on FaceTime for boxing match The ensuing Facetime call was fairly tense, with Wittek claiming he “wanted to talk business” with McBroom. Unfortunately, McBroom asked him to get his number from Bryce before dismissing the discussion. “Bro, I got s**t to do, I don’t got time to waste talking to y’all, bro.” “We’re gonna find you,” Wittek answered before Austin hung up. (Topic begins at 3:23) Considering the current drama with the ACE Family regarding the foreclosure and auction of their $7 million home, it might be a while before we see McBroom get in the ring again. But, if he does, fans can bet that Wittek will be one of the first to come calling.

Jeff Wittek claims Old Spice stole his Barbershop concept after David Dobrik controversy YouTube: JEFF FMYouTuber Jeff Wittek has claimed that after the Vlog Squad controversy, amid which he was dropped by sponsor Old Spice, the company went on ‘steal’ his iconic Barbershop concept. In February, hugely popular vlogger David Dobrik came under fire after former Vlog Squad member Seth Francois spoke about ‘makeout pranks’ he did for the vlogs, claiming they were “traumatizing.” Member Dominykas Zeglaitis a.k.a. Durte Dom was then accused of sexual assault, with David coming under fire for uploading footage from that night in a vlog. In an apology video he said: “I fully believe the woman that came out against Dom and said she was sexually assaulted by him,” adding, “I got consent to post the video, but even though I got consent, I should have never posted it.” The creator rapidly started to lose not only subscribers but also countless key sponsors including EA, HBO, Bumble and more. This also extended to other members of the group including Jeff Wittek. Now, on an episode of his podcast with guest Scotty Sire, Jeff has accused former sponsor Old Spice of copying one of his most popular series. “Old Spice dropped me hard,” he said, “and that was a big, big sponsor, that was our biggest one ever, that was a dream come true when I had got it because I always wanted to make comedy commercials like Old Spice, I loved them.” Topic starts at 3:11 However, Jeff explained that them dropping him wasn’t the end of the story. “They didn’t just fire me, they stole my intellectual property, and tried to recreate it and do a sh*ttier version.” They pulled up a promotional video for Old Spice’s new Barbershop, which appears to have similarities to his hugely popular ‘Jeff’s Barbershop’ series in which he would cut people’s hair and interview them. Jeff added: “So yeah, f**k those motherf**kers, they didn’t just fire me, when I was at my worst and just caught up in somebody else’s f**king mistakes. I will not just be a pushover here, and let you take my sh*t and walk away, obviously.” The YouTuber recently had huge success with his series documenting his recovery following a serious eye injury, due to a Vlog Squad excavator accident that many blamed David Dobrik for.

Jeff Wittek confirms David Dobrik lawsuit after life-threatening accident YouTube: Bradley Martyn’s Raw TalkJeff Wittek has confirmed he started a lawsuit against David Dobrik following an accident in 2021 that caused the former vlog squad member to nearly lose an eye. Influencer and YouTuber Jeff Wittek ended his friendship with David Dobrik in February, calling the YouTuber a “scumbag.” Stemming from an accident in 2021 where Wittek nearly lost an eye, the influencer blamed Dobrik for mishandling an excavator that they were using for a Vlog Squad video. Jeff threatened David with a lawsuit for the accident on March 9, 2022, and on an April 5 episode of Raw Talk with Bradley Martyn — he confirmed it has turned into a legal battle. Jeff Wittek confirms lawsuit against David Dobrik After beginning the video talking about how Jeff Wittek began creating content, Bradley Martyn brought up the ongoing situation between the former Vlog squad member and Dobrik. “We’re not really talking, I felt really pissed off hearing the stuff he said,” Wittek explained. “This guy’s never gonna learn. I guess I’ll just talk to some lawyers. I can’t have this stress in my life. I wanna come on camera and be funny.” Martyn asked the creator if he had become a real legal issue, and Jeff confirmed that it is. He said: “Yeah, it takes a lot of your energy out… I’m trying to deal with those calls and stuff when I have to, but I wanna get back to enjoying life.” (Topic starts at 10:52 for mobile users) Jeff documented the aftermath of his injury in a series of YouTube videos titled ‘Don’t Try This At Home’ on his YouTube channel, revealing just how life-threatening the situation was. At the time of writing, Dobrik has not made a comment regarding the ongoing lawsuit against him.

Jeff Wittek calls Josh Richards & BFF podcast “morons” over accident comments YouTube: BBFs Podcast / Jeff WittekYouTuber Jeff Wittek has called out Josh Richards and the BFFs podcast for saying they think he’s releasing his documentary to “pile up the views” and get money. On April 22, Jeff released the second part of his ongoing documentary in which he explained the events that led up to the accident that damaged his eye, and almost killed him. He released shocking footage of David Dobrik swinging him around from an excavator, with the insane speeds ultimately resulting in the accident. The series is following Jeff’s journey of recovering from his injuries and healing mentally after the terrifying experience, garnering millions of views on each episode. However, in episode 27 of the BFFs podcast, TikToker Josh Richards along with fellow hosts Dave Portnoy and Brianna LaPaglia felt that the YouTuber was using his accident for views. Click here if TikTok doesn’t load Josh said: “This is called, the Vlog Squad is now realizing David is gone, they have nothing left to make money. And now he’s like, let me go on this rampage where I’m gonna come out with a documentary, come up with all this sh*t, and just pile up the views and get as much money as I can while I’ve still got clout.” Underneath the clip posted to Dave Portnoy’s TikTok account, Jeff Wittek wrote, “you guys are morons,” alongside comments from viewers claiming the hosts needed to do more research. Now, in episode 28 of the podcast, Josh revealed that Jeff actually called him about the comments that were made. “He pulled the ‘I’m not a guy you wanna mess with, I’m not a guy you want on your bad side,’” Josh said. Explaining how Jeff got in contact with him, he added: “I got a text from a random number that was like ‘yo, it’s Jeff Wittek, we need to talk’ or something along those lines.” Topic starts at 2:52 After they started their call, Josh explained: “He started talking about how we sh*t on him on the pod, and our opinion was super off, and I was like, but it was opinion, man. It was an opinion.” It’s not clear where Jeff and the hosts stand with each other after the interactions, but it seems as though the BFFs are standing by their right to give their opinion.

Jeff Wittek claims David Dobrik ‘abandoned him’ after near-fatal Vlog Squad accident YouTube: Jeff Wittek / Twitter: David DobrikIn the latest episode of his documentary series, After the Accident, Jeff Wittek claimed David Dobrik abandoned him in the months after the Vlog Squad excavator accident, even though he “was all f**ked up.” Jeff Wittek almost died when a dangerous excavator stunt orchestrated by David Dobrik went horribly wrong. A doctor confirmed it could have cut his right eye in half and potentially even killed him, which fortunately didn’t happen. The whole situation left many viewers angry with David, calling him “irresponsible” for risking his friend’s life. But that’s nothing compared to the fact he apparently turned his back on him throughout the recovery process. Jeff revealed all the details in the third episode of his documentary series. He started off by saying how seeing David’s career on YouTube and other social media platforms “thrive” while recovering left him feeling sad and resentful. “The first Instagram story would be him, and I would click on it, and it would be him being praised for something that he accomplished that week. And I’m sitting here in my house, in the worst place I’ve ever been, thinking I’m never going to get back to where I was at,” he said. “It made me resent him. It made me resent seeing his face. It made me not want to go online. It made me not want to open up YouTube. It would just put me in a bad place.” Jeff also revealed that even though he “healed enough to walk around,” he was still “really f**ked up” on the inside, and the worst part about it was that David hadn’t bothered to see how he was. Nick ‘Jonah’ Antonyan explained that, allegedly, David “didn’t know what to do to be there for [him]. However, Jeff explained that “all he had to do was come to check on me. Come talk to me, man to man, in person. I wanted to make it clear to him that this was a problem that we both had to fix now.” The relevant part of the video starts at 8:23. The revelation has left fans feeling even more bitter towards David. It’s one thing to put your friends in danger, but it’s another thing to turn your back on them when they need you the most. David hasn’t commented yet and probably won’t since he’s been inactive on social media for more than a month. But if he does, we’ll update this piece.

Jeff Wittek accuses David Dobrik of planning to “frame” him immediately after accident Instagram: jeff / YouTube: VIEWSJeff Wittek has claimed that David Dobrik was collecting evidence to “frame him” while Jeff was in surgery, shortly after the excavator accident that seriously injured him. In 2020, YouTuber Jeff Wittek nearly lost his eye when he was injured as part of a Vlog Squad stunt, where he was swung around from an excavator that David Dobrik was operating. Wittek has had a number of surgeries since then as part of a lengthy recovery process. While the pair appeared to be on good terms at first, in February 2022 Wittek labeled Dobrik a “scumbag” and said he was done being “fake friends” with him. He also revealed that Dobrik was taking part in a documentary, and that the producer had shown him clips of the YouTuber speaking about the incident. “He said that it was my fault. David blamed me. He insinuated that I was crazy, that I wanted to push it and I’m the reason that this happened when that’s complete bulls**t,” he said. Dobrik went on to address the latest drama in an episode of VIEWS, in which he claimed, “that day is the worst thing that’s ever happened to me.” He also showed a screen recording of an Instagram DM he received shortly before the accident, in which Wittek sent him a video of a similar stunt and said “let’s recreate this.” Jeff Wittek responds to screen recording On March 10, Wittek posted a tweet responding to Dobrik’s use of screenshots in his VIEWS video. “This is disturbing,” he wrote. “David‘s own video proves two hours after the accident while I was being operated on and he was the only one allowed in the hospital, he was screen recording stuff to frame me. While others stayed outside and prayed. He was wiping his fingerprints off the gun.” This is disturbing. David‘s own video proves two hours after the accident while I was being operated on and he was the only one allowed in the hospital, he was screen recording stuff to frame me. While others stayed outside and prayed. He was wiping his fingerprints off the gun. — Jeff Wittek (@jeffwittek) March 10, 2022 He also linked to a Reddit post pointing out that in Dobrik’s screen recording, the time stamp was “2 hours ago.” Ethan Klein also responded, agreeing with Wittek’s assessment of the comments. The situation has divided fans, with some commenters arguing that the two creators should “keep this stuff off social media.”

Jeff Wittek “blackmailer” denies $40k ransom for David Dobrik accident footage Jeff Wittek YouTubeYouTuber Jeff Wittek claims he’s being blackmailed to the tune of $40,000 to conceal footage of a stunt for David Dobrik’s Vlog Squad that turned into a near-fatal encounter. The accused, a ‘family friend’ who was at the scene, has allegedly denied blackmailing Wittek. A 2020 stunt involving a tractor, operated by Dobrik at the time, fractured Wittek’s skull and lacerated his face. About a year later, Wittek is now telling that story as a part of his ‘How I Broke my Face’ series. However, after publishing the second part on YouTube, he told Drama Alert that he needed to push out the video because he was getting blackmailed for the footage and didn’t want his “life-altering story” controlled by other people. Among the group of vloggers, there was a family friend who also took a video and was asking for $40,000, according to Drama Alert. Around that time, screenshots were making the rounds, apparently showing a conversation on Instagram between someone named Wendy Pope and a buyer interested in the footage. In the conversation, Wendy is seen saying “I’d sell it now. Insider is interested,” in reference to the Wittek footage. Insider reporters deny that claim. Soon after, accounts on Reddit and Twitter apparently belonging to Wendy Pope, going by winniepope, denied blackmailing Wittek and revealed more of what happened on her side of the story. “I think it would be the right thing for Jeff to tell the truth that we never blackmailed him,” according to WinniePope’s Reddit post. “He was upset which is understandable, he wants to be the one to tell his story. He wasn’t ready yet to talk about his accident.” https://twitter.com/defnoodles/status/1386782950444847105 In Wittek’s How I Broke My Face | Ep 2, he described how he came to grips with doing the stunt over 1ft deep lake. The video released on the accident had the worst parts cut out for obvious reasons. It’s unclear if Wendy told the YouTuber she wouldn’t sell the video to someone else, but she maintains that she isn’t blackmailing Wittek.

Vlog Squad’s Jeff Wittek reveals how David Dobrik caused his life-threatening accident YouTube: Jeff Wittek / VIEWSVlog Squad member Jeff Wittek has finally revealed what happened to his eye, in a new video where he shows footage of a dangerous excavator stunt for David Dobrik’s vlog gone wrong. While the Vlog Squad used to be one of the most popular creator groups on YouTube, the recent sexual assault controversy involving Durte Dom led to David Dobrik getting demonetized by YouTube, and dropped by many of his key sponsors. As a member of the squad, Jeff Wittek made videos on the situation and even went on the Frenemies podcast with Ethan Klein and Trisha Paytas to share his side of the story. While he mentioned that something had happened to his eye, he didn’t want to explain what happened to it at the time, leaving viewers curious. In a new documentary YouTube series, Jeff has finally explained what happened to his eye, and it directly involves David Dobrik. He explained that the group had been doing a lot of stunt videos, and their latest idea was to put an excavator vehicle in a lake and swing people around from a rope. The footage shows various members giving the risky stunt a go, until Jeff decided to try it out for himself. The YouTuber said: “I just jumped out of a plane 20 times. What’s the worst that could happen if I swing from a rope over a one-foot deep lake?” However, he then went on to say: “I didn’t know I was gonna go that fast. So I grabbed the rope, and I tried to make a goddamn funny video for people. But this is where I made a mistake. I forgot that the biggest f***ing idiot I know was driving it.” Warning: Footage may be distressing TW: I’ve never felt so angry at a dumb ass influencer before. David Dobrik needs to be stopped. He’s always been irresponsible at his friends expense for YOUTUBE videos. He COULD have been charged with manslaughter had Jeff been inches closer to the excavator. IM LIVIDDDDD pic.twitter.com/eT2wEde46k — Mauve 💭 (@katmauvearts) April 22, 2021 David could be seen spinning the vehicle around with Jeff hanging from the rope, but suddenly he started to fly towards the camera, with David in the background saying, “oh sh*t.” People could be seen running towards Jeff after it became clear something was seriously wrong. In an earlier teaser for the documentary, Jeff spoke to a doctor about the incident showing gruesome images of his injuries. The doctor said: “If that would have entered 3 millimeters higher, and been on the same angle, it would have cut your eye right in half.” They added that the YouTuber “would have died” if it was a few inches the other way. Read More: How does David Dobrik make money? – Many viewers were angry with David for endangering his friend, calling him “irresponsible.” Jeff Witteck almost died filming one of David Dobrik’s vlog, he has life long injuries, physically and mentally. I can’t believe how irresponsible you can be, when you’re willing to risk your “friends” life for content. There’s a serious lack of empathy and common sense. pic.twitter.com/ZNcwHjHcA7 — allison (@elseptimoaarte) April 20, 2021 Jeff has revealed that there will be more information about the accident in the next episode of the documentary, with clips from David himself talking about the incident.

Jeff Leach apologizes following sexism allegations: “I am…ashamed” Twitter: Jeff LeachCall of Duty voice actor and comedian Jeff Leach has apologized to the gaming community following allegations of sexism earlier in May. Leach, who voiced Ghost, has lost his Facebook Gaming partnership and his role with Call of Duty, among other sponsors. After clips of Jeff Leach being sexist to a fellow Facebook Gaming streamer surfaced earlier in May, others have come forward with their own allegations of harassment against the Call of Duty voice actor. Twitch streamer Natalie ‘ZombiUnicorn’ Casanova claimed she was harassed by Leach in 2017, which allegedly led to his ban from the platform. Jeff Leach has now addressed the allegations leveled against him. The streamer, who has since lost his partnership with Facebook Gaming, apologized for his “outbursts” of “vitriolic language.” “I am deeply sorry but also ashamed,” he said in a May 14 statement, issued by his lawyers and shared on Twitter. “Passion can be a double-edged sword. Foremost, I am deeply passionate about creating great work, sharing that work with my audience and using it to lift, entertain, educate and connect more closely to my community. That will never change. “On the other end of the passion spectrum, I have also reacted passionately in situations where I felt attacked, targeted or harassed and I have very occasionally lost control.” https://twitter.com/jeffleach/status/1393301546578980867 While Leach didn’t address any of the allegations specifically, he made a blanket statement of remorse. “I’m remorseful for misrepresenting my true intentions and apologize to the individuals and the business partners that I may have negatively impacted by these outbursts,” he said. “This includes my incredible supporters, moderators who have worked so tirelessly to protect our little online community and the companies who extended opportunity and trust to me and whom I have let down.” Activision told Dexerto on May 8 that they will no longer be working with Jeff Leach. They also banned his Warzone account for an extra 21 days. “Sexism has no place in our industry, our games or in society,” a spokesperson said. Facebook Gaming also confirmed with Dexerto on May 12 that Jeff Leach is no longer partnered with the platform. “We expect our Facebook Gaming partners to model a high standard of conduct. We have ended our contract with Jeff Leach and terminated his partner status with Facebook Gaming,” it said. Sponsors Team Kitch and Sneak Energy have also cut ties with the voice actor.

‘J*ck’ trending on Twitter as celebrity stan accounts get “purged” from platform Wikimedia Commons: Mark Warner/TwitterTwitter CEO Jack Dorsey has found himself at the center of a storm on his own platform, after multiple stan accounts for celebrities were apparently banned, and ‘J*ck’ is trending as a result. While you might have seen the trending topic and assumed it’s censoring a profanity you’re not aware of, it’s simply fan accounts hitting out at the Twitter CEO – while trying to avoid his ban hammer. Jack is no stranger to controversy — he’s had his accounts hacked and had to make the bold decision to ban the departing US President’s account at the back end of 2020. Now, though, he’s dealing with something far scarier: the stans. ‘Stans’, or the most committed of fans, have unprecedented power on Twitter, with the ability to infiltrate any community and get anything trending as they wish. So, when a number of stan accounts started getting banned, apparently because they were ‘impersonating’ celebrities by using their images, they rallied together to go straight to the top, and they want answers from Jack himself. You can flick through the J*ck Twitter trend yourself to see what people are saying, but the crux of it is explained well by user Zettabyte. “Who is j*ck?” they tweeted. “Apparently some guy at Twitter headquarters, mass banning Twitter accounts that have a celeb [profile pictures] or name because it’s impersonation.” Who is j*ck: Apparently some guy at twitter headquarters mass banning twitter accounts that have a celeb pfp or name because it’s impersonation. Retweet or like so people can stop asking ffs. — Zettabyte v1.0 (@not_zettabyte) April 27, 2021 This makes sense, too — as celebrities and verified users will often have people impersonate them online, Twitter and other social media platforms usually attempt to prevent this from happening as much as possible. Some people believe this may be a step too far, but others are finding the humor in it. For example, MaxKriegerVG says the fact that j*ck is trending is proof that they “do not in fact live on this planet.” watching the kpop stans all go “”so this j*ck asshole who’s banning everyone is some jerk that works at twitter??? let’s dox him”” confirms that they do not in fact live on this planet — 〽️ax krieger is building meter (@MaxKriegerVG) April 28, 2021 Of course, the memes are being created and shared in their thousands too. https://twitter.com/likeCreflo/status/1387192052857856002?s=20 It’s unclear how many accounts have been banned or suspended, or exactly what the criteria was, but the stan accounts fear they might be in danger as a result and taken the issue straight to the top. If you have a celebrity as your profile image on Twitter, you might want to consider swapping it out, just in case.

Jeff Bezos calls out Leonardo DiCaprio after flirty video goes viral Senior Master Sgt. Adrian Cadiz, Wikimedia Commons / Warner Bros. PicturesAmazon’s Jeff Bezos has officially called out A-List actor Leonardo DiCaprio after a video showing the Titanic star engaging in flirty conversation with his girlfriend went viral online. The 2021 LACMA Art & Film Gala saw a host of high-profile celebrities rocking designer looks on the red carpet and rubbing elbows over cocktails — but no one expected the interaction that happened between Leo DiCaprio and Jeff Bezos’ girlfriend, Lauren Sanchez. A short clip showing Leo, Bezos, and Sanchez at the Gala has taken the internet by storm, and it’s not hard to see why. For many onlookers, Sanchez appears to be totally enamored with DiCaprio as he talks, a walking emulation of his Gatsby performance from 2013. Sanchez’s fascinated smile has more than a few netizens joking about the ever-charming Leo “stealing Bezos’ girl,” and the responses have been nothing short of hilarious. Leo is Mr. Steal Yo Girl pic.twitter.com/PkwcRcoFvS — Barstool Sports (@barstoolsports) November 7, 2021 Jeff Bezos calls out Leonardo DiCaprio on Twitter In an unexpected turn of events, it seems like Bezos has decided to join in on the memes, judging by the humorous “challenge” he issued toward Leo over on Twitter. In his reply post, Bezos shared a shirtless photo of himself leaning over a sign that reads, “Danger! Steep cliff, fatal drop,” his biceps proudly on display. “Leo, come here, I want to show you something…” Bezos wrote, making sure to tag the actor’s Twitter account. Leo, come over here, I want to show you something… @LeoDiCaprio https://t.co/Gt2v9JZTNz pic.twitter.com/KqGLB839NI — Jeff Bezos (@JeffBezos) November 8, 2021 This interaction has absolutely blindsided the internet, resulting in even more comical memes that are taking over the internet.

JayStation under fire for Ouija board challenge on ‘dead’ girlfriend ImJayStation – YouTubeYouTuber JayStation claims his girlfriend Alexia died earlier in the month and his latest video is him ‘communicating’ with her with a Ouija board. On January 22, JayStation uploaded an emotional video where he claimed his girlfriend was lost to a drunk driver. However just the next day, a video was uploaded that featured her extensively, but the YouTuber says they had five videos ready for upload in the wake of her apparent death. Almost immediately, many fans doubted his girlfriend was actually gone, with YouTuber OrdinaryGamers going as far as contacting local police departments to find out more information about her death, only to come back fruitless. Jaystation is lying about his dead girlfriend. I’ve spent the entire night browsing and checking with police dept in Toronto and Ottawa. No police reports, no local news agencies and worst of all no family is confirming. I’m done with YouTube. I’m dumb for feeling sorry… — Mutahar (@OrdinaryGamers) January 23, 2020 H3H3’s Ethan Klein joined in on the criticism, calling JayStation a “scumbag” and saying he’s only doing all of this just to get a higher subscriber count. Perhaps doubling down on the controversy, in a January 26 video, he claims he spoke to his deceased girlfriend with a Ouija board at 3 a.m. He has been criticized for videos like this in the past, such as when he claims he was able to speak to rapper Mac Miller after he passed with this same method. The 23:30 minute video is sitting at over 35,000 likes at the time of this writing, compared to 6,900 dislikes. That ratio might be surprising to viewers, considering the comments on the video itself appear to be overwhelmingly negative so far. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyDg_mAaggs In the video, the YouTuber asks Alexia a series of questions where the answers are then spelled on the board, supposedly by her from the afterlife. He concludes the questions once she says she misses him and when he gets up, he and his cameraman notice he has lipstick on his cheek, which would indicate his girlfriend gave him one last kiss goodbye. (Timestamp 21:55) Outside of YouTube likes and dislikes, the community has been very critical of his latest video. You can’t make this shit up. @YouTube @ytcreators this is your website. pic.twitter.com/aTzpq2yLFi — Mutahar (@OrdinaryGamers) January 26, 2020 Jaystation fakes his girlfriend’s death, monetized it, and then proceeded to do an ouija board challenge, all in an effort for views and money. Clearly, this troglodyte’s audience is composed of toddlers, which is all the more sickening considering the messages given (1/2) pic.twitter.com/NLqvyasxA3 — Timmeh (@timhansenYT) January 26, 2020 Anytime we think Jaystation can’t become anymore pathetic, he says “”Hold my Ouiji board”” and does shit like this. pic.twitter.com/nH5ExFMP9R — Combat Wombat (@WombatWasHere) January 26, 2020 If this is actually a hoax and his girlfriend is alive and well, there will almost certainly be a lot more backlash considering how much he has leaned into the whole situation. For the time being, JayStation claims that his girlfriend is no longer with us, and that this was his final goodbye to her.

JayStation’s girlfriend Alexia finally speaks out about fake death YouTube: Alexia MaranoAlexia Marano, the now-former girlfriend of YouTuber JayStation, has spoken out publicly for the first time following the series of videos in which he claimed she had been killed by a drunk driver. JayStation, who has over 5 million subscribers on his YouTube channel, claimed that Alexia had been killed in an accident with a drunk driver. He also made a series of follow up videos, including visiting a fake streetside memorial, and using a Ouija board to ‘talk’ to Alexia’s spirit. Many fellow YouTubers accused JayStation of clearly faking the entire situation for attention and views, but he kept up the act. Alexia has now admitted that she helped make the videos with him, but claims it was out of fear. JayStation posted his own video to expose the “truth” about Alexia, on January 27, showing behind the scenes footage of her helping with the Ouija board video. He also claimed that she left without notice five hours later, and reported that she had been assaulted by him to police. The following day, January 28, Alexia posted on her personal channel to assure everyone that she was alive and well, and to explain her side of the story. Becoming tearful throughout, Marano gave some background to their relationship, revealing that JayStation had demanded that she remove all of her personal social media accounts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQnQR-zyNq4 Marano also claims that she was not paid at all for helping with JayStation’s videos, despite often editing for eight to ten hours a day, and that JayStation’s roommate was paid for helping. For their second channel, ‘Dream Team’, Alexia says she was almost entirely responsible for it, despite not being paid. She also claims that many business and financial responsibilities were handed to her. The fake death story The initial idea was to fake the death of JayStation’s roommate, Alexia says. But, Jay then changed his mind and decided that Alexia would be better. “I had no idea what he was going to say in those videos. When other people were watching it for the first time on YouTube, I was also watching it for the first time. “I did not appreciate that he said the crash was about a drunk driver, that really made me feel sick to my stomach,” she explains. Despite her family and friends being bombarded with messages, Alexia said she was “not allowed” to say anything. It is unclear what will happen to their joint channel, Dream Team, which has over 300,000 subscribers. JayStation has deleted all the videos from the account, and has said: “I created this channel a few years ago, decided to share it with Alexia but she is no longer with me so I will be keeping this channel alive and making videos for it.” Marano says she will continue to post videos on her personal channel for now.

Although she said she “understood the negative reception,” she went on to say that she took the photos “with the best intentions in a manner my father would have approved with had he still been alive.” “Everyone handles the loss of a loved one in their own ways; some are more traditional while others might come across as taboo,” she continued. “For me, I treated the celebration as if my father was right next to me, posing for the camera as he had done on many occasions prior.” Rivera also went on to add: “There is nothing wrong with what I posted, and I stand by that.” The influencer’s Instagram account is not accessible at the time of writing, as she claims that the app has disabled her account “with no reason given.” Her TikTok account with over 300,000 followers remains active, but the comments on her videos are disabled. It is not clear whether this is a recent change in light of the backlash against her. Posts about the situation are continuing to go viral across multiple social media platforms, as users discuss their view on the appropriateness of the images.

JayStation threatens to sue YouTube for deleting his channel: YouTube responds YouTube: ImJayStationYouTube has responded to content creator JayStation after the YouTuber threatened to sue because both of his channels were deleted. Jason ‘JayStation’ Ethier is one of the most controversial figures in YouTube history. The Canadian is best known for his prank videos, uploaded predominantly on his main channel, ImJayStation, which helped him accumulate over six million subscribers. But these pranks were frequently accused of being in ‘bad taste’ with the YouTuber supposedly ‘talking to the dead’ and creating false conversations with deceased people like Mac Miller. But his channel was not demonetized until January 2020 after he faked his girlfriend’s death. Since the demonetization was implemented, Ethier continued his content creation by uploading reaction videos on a second channel, 666. This channel was not demonetized and was originally shared between him and his girlfriend. JayStation YouTube channels terminated On March 12 2021, over a year after the controversy over his girlfriend’s hoax death, Ethier announced both his channels had been terminated, and he was planning to take legal action over YouTube. “This is not fair,” he said. “I make reaction videos now and it’s been so long. “I’m going to sue them. Crazy. Anyways. I’m done. Nothing I can do now.” https://twitter.com/ItsJaystation/status/1370523378780663811 Ethier claims YouTube banned him for circumventing demonetization on his main channel by posting videos on the second account. “I didn’t even do anything wrong,” he added. “I made videos all year getting no controversy, changed my content to reaction videos I make in my room. They said I am circumventing demonetization but when this first happened they even said they are leaving my second channel monetized.” Ethier published a farewell video via Twitter, where he claimed allegation of assault made against him by an ex-girlfriend had prompted YouTube to change tact. He strongly denied these allegations. https://twitter.com/ItsJaystation/status/1370653113871400961 TeamYoutube encouraged Ethier to contact them privately to resolve any issues he still had. “We sent you an email w/ details regarding your account being terminated for a Terms of Service violation,” they said. “Look out for that in your inbox. You can also respond directly to the email if you have any follow-up questions.” Thanks for the tag. We sent you an email w/ details regarding your account being terminated for a Terms of Service violation, look out for that in your inbox. You can also respond directly to the email if you have any follow-up questions. — TeamYouTube (@TeamYouTube) March 13, 2021 At the end of his video, Ethier announced plans to create a new YouTube channel, but stated he would not show his face on YouTube ever again. “I’m going to have a channel on YouTube, it’s going to be big,” he said. “But I can’t tell anybody and it’s not going to have my face.” YouTube has not yet publicly responded to the direct threat of legal action made by Ethier.

Jason Nash reveals real reason Jeff Wittek was cut from Bryce Hall roast Instagram: Jason NashVlog Squad member Jason Nash has revealed the real reason Jeff Wittek pulled out of the Roast Of Bryce Hall after delaying the segment by almost two weeks. Backlash against the Vlog Squad’s David Dobrik arose in mid-2021 after Jeff Wittek revealed that he had been seriously injured by the fellow Vlogger. Dobrik notably swung Wittek from an excavator in the middle of a lake for a filmed stunt. Wittek and Dobrik seemed to be on relatively good terms until Wittek voiced his frustration during a live stream in February 2022, revealing that Dobrik hadn’t messaged him to check in on his condition, saying “I’m done being fake friends with that motherf**ker.” In an ongoing fight between Wittek and Dobrik, the former Vlog Squad member announced that he would not be participating in the Roast of Bryce Hall, placing the blame on Dobrik for censoring his set. The roast was originally set to include Jason Nash, Adam Wassabi, Jeff Wittek, Josie Canseco, Josh Richards, Tana Mongeau, and Nick ‘Jonah’ Antonyan as the “roasters.” Jason Nash reveals why Wittek was cut from the Roast Jason Nash uploaded a video explaining the situation on March 6, claiming that Dobrik wasn’t the sole reason why Wittek pulled out the roast – but more so the fact that the sponsor didn’t like Wittek’s jokes. “Seat Geek sponsored this roast… and basically, there was a bunch of jokes they wanted cut out of it,” Nash revealed. “I got Jeff to cut two of the jokes, but then there were three more that Jeff wouldn’t budge on, and he said, ‘I wanna pull my set,’” Nash added. On February 23, Wittek posted a Tweet saying that someone had “tried to remove half my jokes. At the time, Bryce Hall thought he was trying to take a jab at him, when in fact, it appears to have been Seat Geek who thought the YouTuber’s jokes were too inappropriate. I chose to have my set cut. they tried to remove half my jokes. This was supposed to be a COMEDY show! I didn’t say anything I wouldn’t say in my own YouTube videos or podcasts. This is all because that coward was there and he can’t take jokes https://t.co/eQCetdpuID — Jeff Wittek (@jeffwittek) February 23, 2022 On March 7, the Roast Of Bryce Hall was uploaded to Nash’s channel, almost two weeks after the expected air date. The roast did in fact feature Wittek, but more as a featured guest instead of actually participating in the roast itself.

Jaw-dropping TikTok video shows drunk man trying to leave plane at 38,000ft YOUTUBE: DEADLINENEWSTVPlane passengers performed ‘citizen’s arrest’ on a drunk man who tried to leave the flight mid-air, as the wild moment was captured and shared on TikTok. A Ryanair flight between the UK to Lithuania was interrupted over the weekend, when a rowdy man started abusing others, and allegedly injured a fellow passenger. Several clips were recently shared on social media, showing the dramatic moment a ‘violent’ and ‘aggressive’ drunken passenger was restrained by seven shocked onlookers. The clips have now been deleted, but they showed the drunk man confronting members of the cabin crew and threatening others, before passengers took matters into their own hands. TikTok users claimed he attempted to leave the flight mid-air, so they restrained him with a seatbelt, as he shouted: “I don’t f**king care who the f**k you are” and “Don’t touch me!” According to witnesses, the man had been drinking a bottle of alcohol he’d bought at the airport’s duty free shop before boarding. TikTok viewers react to citizen’s arrest on drunk man User mildaet uploaded a video of the incident to TikTok, and captioned it “Citizens arrest mid flight. London Luton – Vilnius 13.08.2022.” The viral video has been viewed almost a million times since it was shared, as thousands of viewers praised the passengers who helped diffuse the situation. “Glad to see some strong peeps handle the situation. I’d be rocking at the back of the plane at that point breathing into a bag,” one viewer commented. “I would be so scared! I travel from Luton with just me and the baby a lot and I don’t like planes. That would add to my stress,” someone else added. One of the cabin crew on board the flight commented “You guys had a tough time with him for much longer than this video, thank you and your colleagues.” Speaking today, a Ryanair spokeswoman said: “The crew of this flight from Luton to Kaunas requested police assistance upon arrival after a passenger became disruptive in-flight.” “The aircraft landed normally and police removed and detained this individual passenger at Kaunas. This is now a matter for local police.”

Jason Derulo explains how he helped ‘change TikTok forever’ TikTok: jasonderuloJason Derulo has explained why he believes he ‘changed TikTok forever,’ and how he helped turn it into “the app that it is today.” Singer Jason Derulo has one of the biggest accounts on TikTok, with over 56 million followers on his page where he uploads regular videos that garner millions of views and likes. The star has been uploading videos to the platform since the Musical.ly days, and has been continuously growing on the platform since then. In a YouTube video with sneaker store Kick Game, Derulo spoke about how he feels he has influenced TikTok over the years. “I just had fun with it, honestly. It was a dance app at first, and it being a dance app, I felt like, ‘I don’t know if this is gonna work.’ You know, everybody doesn’t like to dance,” he explained. “So, I was like, ‘Let me start posting other sh*t.’ I tried to post a photo, that didn’t work. People was like, ‘What the f**k is this?’ Then I started to post random story-like videos. That didn’t work.” Topic starts at 14:00 He went on to say that what worked for him on the platform was posting content that was “more fun.” “I was like, ‘Okay, this is a moment where I can be a leader and do something that’s totally different on the app,’” he said. “I think it changed the app forever because TikTok used to be just a dance app, and it wasn’t until I started to introduce other things that it became the app that it is today.” Jason almost revealed to viewers how much TikTok pays him, but he stopped himself short of revealing an actual figure. Some viewers disagreed that the star was solely responsible for the shift in TikTok content, with a huge number of other creators influencing the trends and direction of the platform over the years. Regardless, Derulo continues to be one of the biggest stars on the platform, gaining new followers every day.

Jason Nash instantly regrets trying to prank TikTok star Addison Rae David Dobrik Too, YouTube / Addison Rae, InstagramDavid Dobrik’s latest behind-the-scenes video featured a practical joke gone wrong, after “vlog squad” member Jason Nash decided to prank TikTok star Addison Rae — although she didn’t end up being the victim of his hilarious shenanigans. David Dobrik, a massive YouTuber known for his action-packed, short-form vlogs, uploaded a video to his second channel on March 17, where he debuts behind-the-scenes footage that often doesn’t make the cut into his official videos. In this bonus vlog, longtime friend and fellow YouTuber Jason Nash took part in a series of humorous hijinks — one of which included an untimely prank on TikTok’s very own Addison Rae. Dobrik is known for keeping a phonebook’s worth of high-profile friends, so it came as little surprise to fans that the internet star (who boasts over 25 million followers on TikTok) was seen chilling in his home during his vlog. However, her down time was interrupted by Nash, who quickly approached the TikToker with a can of men’s spray-on deodorant in the old-school fashion of Ashton Kutcher’s “Punk’d.” “Hey Addison, welcome to prank central!” he shouted, before spraying the can in what he appeared to think was Addison’s general direction. Instead, the spray went directly into his face — and his mouth, inciting an avalanche of laughter from those assembled in the room. “F**k!” Nash exclaimed, wiping at his eyes. “Oh my god! Ah, it was in my mouth! I’ll get you next time — I got her good!” (Segment begins at 2:41 for mobile readers) Thankfully, it looks like Addison took the practical joke in stride, which may have been intentional (although there’s no telling if Nash actually wanted the can to spray directly in his eyes and mouth). Nash is often touted for his sense of humor and makes regular appearances in Dobrik’s vlogs, which usually leads to such off-the-rails moments as when Dobrik buried him underground and surprised his friends by hiding his head under a storage container. Thanks to his antics, it seems that Rae got a humorous scare — although it was Nash who ultimately took the fall (and some deodorant in the eye, to boot).

Jarvis confirms boxing return after sparring with Floyd Mayweather Twitter: @liljarvissFormer FaZe Clan member Jarvis has confirmed his boxing return after being seen sparring with Floyd Mayweather after a nearly two-year hiatus from the ring. While the 21-year-old has continued to be fairly active on YouTube with occasional boxing videos, it’s been almost two years since his last bout. Also doubling as his debut fight, Jarvis made quick work of his opponent Michael Le with an early second-round knockout, and fans have been waiting for his return to influencer boxing ever since. Now finally, the Fortnite star is gearing up for a bout. Following a January 28 tweet, where he was seen sparring with Mayweather for a video, it was announced that he had signed a multi-fight deal with Kingpyn Boxing. According to the announcement, Jarvis will return to boxing as one of the High Stakes Tournament fighters in Kingpyn’s first YouTube boxing tournament — which will showcase eight fighters across three events. While fans are certainly hyped to see Jarvis make his return, some were left puzzled as to why the YouTuber didn’t sign with another promoter. “Should’ve signed with Misfits or happy punch honestly,” one wrote. “Would’ve gotten way more recognition,” another added. It’s unclear who he’ll be stepping in the ring with just yet, with more announcements soon to come. However, fans have suggested many potential matchups for the ex-FaZe Clan member, posing that he steps in the ring with the likes of some big names such as Deji, Bryce Hall, or even Alex Wassabi.

Jarvis & Tom Zanetti clash in heated meeting ahead of Kingpyn fight KingpynYouTuber Jarvis and music producer Tom Zanetti got into a heated argument ahead of their clash at the first Kingpyn boxing event. Dubbed the ‘biggest influencer boxing tournament’ the world has ever seen, Kingpyn’s ‘High Stakes’ tournament is just around the corner. Spanning three events over the next couple of months — the tournament consists of some of the internet’s biggest stars, with eight male and eight female fighters stepping up for the challenge. Bringing new faces to the scene, the tournament will spark new rivalries, as well as resurrect old with AnEsonGib and Austin McBroom set to touch gloves for the second time. New rivalries are already heating up too, as during a face-to-face ahead of their April 22 bout, Jarvis and Zanetti got into a heated discussion. Jarvis and Zanetti clash ahead of Kingpyn fight During a face-to-face before they come to blows, Zanetti lashed out at Jarvis and his manager, putting the two on blast for changing the time of their meet, and allegedly pinning the blame on the music producer. “F**king fat peck head manager started trying to put it on me, and I don’t like him bro, he’s got a bad aura about him, he seems very sly, I don’t like it bro,” said Zanetti. “I’ve been waiting here for like an hour and a half,” Jarvis replied, with Zanetti responding: “Listen, don’t raise your voice. Last night you changed the time, you changed the time. It was meant to be last night. “It was meant to be yesterday, you changed it!” Jarvis began arguing his case, explaining he was sat ready for the face-to-face when it was originally scheduled the day before. However, Zanetti claimed Jarvis’ team changed the time last minute due to the former FaZe Clan star having issues with his medical. Judging by his reaction, it’s fair to say Jarvis was absolutely baffled and had no idea was Zanetti was talking about. “That’s a lie, that’s a lie bro.” Jarvis then hit back, calling out his opponent for showing up over an hour late to their face-to-face. After a nearly two-year hiatus from boxing, Jarvis will finally be stepping back in the ring on April 22, whereas Zanetti comes off the back of his boxing debut — where he fell to the hands of Slim Albaher who took the win by unanimous decision.

Jared Leto ‘mesmerized’ by Hololive’s Shirakami Fubuki during Vtuber Morbius interview HololiveHard on the press circuit with interviews promoting his newest film ‘Morbius’, Jared Leto had an iconic encounter with Shirakami Fubuki. The bi-lingual interview, with the VTubers questions and banter in Japanese, and Jared Leto’s replies in English, is impossible to stop watching. Watching Jared Leto trying to comprehend exactly what is going on, and his developing reactions throughout the interview make this a one-of-a-kind experience. From the initial “wow” muttered under Leto’s breath, it’s clear he is mildly unprepared for the interview. What follows is nothing short of wholesome chaos. As described by Washington Post’s Gene Park, the full interview is “as uncomfortable as it is delightful.” Vtuber interviews Jared Leto about Morbius and it’s uncomfortable as it is delightful pic.twitter.com/iEOSZ5iu42 — Gene Park (@GenePark) April 1, 2022 Finding himself lost for words early on in the interview Jared is visibly stunned by the experience, asking early on “can I ask, is that a tail? or is that your hair in the back.” After Fubuki-chan’s response prompts Leto to say “ah, hair and a tail, best of both worlds,” the anime fox-girl lets loose with a larger question about what the experience on set was like. Flubbing his words, Leto ignores the question replying “yeah, it really is such a unique character, it’s uh, mes-mu… mesmerizing. So, uh, anyway, I forgot the question.” Potentially caught off guard by the translation process, you can see the actor with a wide-eyed slack jaw for much of the interview, but this doesn’t stop him from throwing his own spanners into the works. Responding to a question about superpowers, Jared stone-facedly asserts he already has the ability of flight, claiming “learning to fly took a lot of dedication, lot of time. I’m getting pretty good now, I can stay up for about 20-30 minutes.” Continuing with attempts to derail the interview, Leto offers a bizarre mixture of flirtation and nutrition advice when asked about how he got his body into super-hero shape for Morbius. Telling the hololive interviewer: “you look pretty strong too, you just have to work out and eat well. I don’t know what your diet consists of, maybe mice? And small birds, but uh, that always helps. Keep your protein intake in” Closing out the interview, Jared shows active shock at the penultimate question, letting loose an excited “oooh” in response to the Hololive superstar. He finished the oddball interaction with “you learn something new every day, you sound like my kind of fox.”

Jared Leto embraces viral Morbius meme with ‘Morbius 2’ script Sony Pictures / Jared LetoFollowing the internet craze of making memes surrounding Sony Pictures and Marvel’s recent Morbius film, lead actor Jared Leto seemingly embraced the trend in a cheeky Twitter video. Morbius memes have taken the internet by storm following reports of low critical reviews and a reported $39.1 million opening, as reported by ABC10. From people hosting 24/7 livestreams of Morbius on Twitch to photoshopping video game covers, the internet can’t get enough of memeing on Morbius. Now, the film’s lead actor Jared Leto is getting in on the action after posting a Twitter video leaking the title of Morbius’ upcoming ‘sequel.’ Jared Leto embraces Morbin’ time The Hollywood actor posted the video to his Twitter on June 3, which shows him sitting on a chair thumbing through a script. The camera approaches Leto apparently caught unawares as he tries to cover up what he’s reading through. The camera finally zooms into what script Leto is reading through before finally revealing the title: Morbius 2: It’s Morbin’ Time. It’s a clear reference to what is perhaps the most popular meme surrounding his latest film, in which internet users imagine a world where the main character, Michael Morbius, adopts the saying as his catchphrase throughout the film. The now infamous “It’s Morbin’ time” catchphrase came from Twitter user @Rank10YGO who tweeted out: “The best part of Morbius was when he said ‘IT’S MORBIN’ TIME’ and morbed all over those guys.” Since then the tweet has gone viral and garnered over 135,000 likes and nearly 14,000 retweets, eventually leading others to use the phrase in their memes. It seems not even Jared Leto can escape the fixation on memeing Morbius. After all, if you can’t be ’em join ’em. While Leto’s Morbius 2 script is obviously a joke, there’s still a chance that Sony Pictures and Marvel will move forward with an official Morbius sequel considering the film is made its way back to theaters following the large influx of memes.

Japanese YouTuber shocks public with hyperrealistic dog costume YT: I want to be an animalToco, a Japanese YouTuber, has taken the internet by storm after making a public debut in his incredible hyperrealistic Border Collie costume. Toco, who spent a staggering $15,791 on the dog costume, has been living his dream of becoming an animal. The costume — meticulously crafted by Zeppet Workshop, a company known for its costume work in movies and television — took over 40 days to construct. For the last year, Toco has showcased the costume in videos posted to his YouTube channel, with many viewers questioning their own eyes. In all of these videos, Toco can be seen posing in his dog costume and behaving just as a dog would. But now, Toco has taken it a step further… On July 21, in a video titled “Dogs and people’s reactions to seeing a realistic dog costume!” Toco can be seen venturing out into the real world for the very first time. The video description reads, “My name is Toco, I wanted to be an animal and I became a collie. This channel will bring you such an unusual video.” In the video, Toco is seen being taken out for a walk on a leash, engaging with other dogs and humans at the park. The reactions of passers-by and other dogs range from curiosity to astonishment, with many seemingly unable to discern that Toco is not actually a dog. Toco’s journey to becoming a Collie has been a long one. Last year, his story of crafting the costume became a sensation, covered by various news outlets. He hired Zeppet Workshop to make the suit, which involved a lot of trial and error due to the significant differences between human and canine skeletal structures. The decision to become a Border Collie was a strategic one. Toco believed that a larger animal close to his size would make for a more realistic model. The extra belly fur of the breed also helped hide the fact that an adult man was inside the costume. With his YouTube channel gaining traction, viewers can expect to see more of Toco’s adventures as a Collie in the future. As Toco himself puts it, “I will continue this in the next video! Please subscribe to this channel!”

Japanese Twitch streamer reveals the problem with IRL streaming in Tokyo Twitch/sakurasenpailive/PixabayJapanese Twitch star SAKURA Senpai explained some of the issues streamers face while trying to do IRL broadcasts in Japan. While discussing visiting a ramen restaurant for content, Senpai suggested that she didn’t think IRL streamers have a “great future” in Japan and Tokyo – especially for those who live in the country. “I’m Japanese. For other streamers, foreigners, livestreaming people, that is okay,” she said. According to the streamer, foreigners who are visiting Japan have different expectations as tourists than people who already there and are used to obeying these unwritten streaming rules. “Japanese people are really angry at live-streaming suddenly,” she added. The example she gave was that if she just brought a camera into a shop, employees and patrons would be angry at her. “Japan is like that,” the streamer sighed. She then recalled how the government in Tokyo was talking about potentially banning livestreaming in public. While the government didn’t ban IRL broadcasts, it’s still frowned upon and a lot of places simply won’t allow it. “Many, many places say ‘no camera’,” she revealed. “When I’m streaming outside, you guys saw that.” As it turned out, in the past, SAKURA had been asked to leave places when attempting to broadcast. “If it’s live-streaming, it’s going to happen. But if it’s YouTube, I can ask in advance ‘can I bring my camera?’” So, while IRL broadcasting Japan on Twitch may be difficult for many Japanese people, they’re more likely to create content specifically for YouTube or other video platforms. It’s certainly interesting to think about how this affects content for Japanese entertainers such as SAKURA. However, as she said, for non-locals visiting the country, it seems like they’re free to livestream as they please. So far, Senpai isn’t doing too bad for herself in 2020 having just passed the 15,000 follower mark on Twitch. Hopefully for her, the rest of the year can maintain this growth – even without IRL streams.

Japanese streamer perfectly shuts down troll asking her measurements A Japanese Twitch streamer had the perfect response to a nosey viewer who hoped to learn her body measurements — and they didn’t get very far. Japanese Twitch streamer “SakuraSenpai” has seen a sharp growth in popularity as of late, known for her humorous interactions with her audience and equally hilarious slip-ups with slang terms during her English language learning broadcasts. However, one such fan interaction turned into a valuable lesson, after a viewer got a bit too comfortable with their queries regarding her body. During a broadcast on January 2, one fan decided to ask SakuraSenpai about her measurements — although it looks like they weren’t super confident in their chances of actually getting an answer. “I am sure you won’t answer this, but I was wondering what [are] your measurements?” the fan asked. Sakura quickly noted the ridiculousness of the question, shouting, “Why did you ask this of me if you knew it? …if you knew it, what’s gonna change it?” She went on to deliver a hilarious message to the viewer, arguing that breasts aren’t filled with “hopes or dreams” — just fat. “Guys, wake up!” she replied. “B**bs are just fat. Same with your a** — butt? Okay? There are no hopes or dreams [in there], okay? Nothing inside! B**bs are just fat!” Another viewer typed in the chat, “B**bs are the future,” prompting a good-humored laugh from the streamer before she continued. “[You’re wrong!]” she laughed. “Nothing! Why do guys dream about b**bs so much? A** is muscle, but b**bs are just fat!” She went on to confirm that she would not be answering questions regarding her measurements, encouraging viewers to “use their imaginations” if they were really curious about the subject. SakuraSenpai marks the latest in a string of female Twitch streamers hitting back at perverted viewers, such as AshleyRoboto’s hilarious spiel against fans who criticized her turtleneck sweater and KnightSinclair roasting viewers for creeping on her friend. Unfortunately for SakuraSenpai’s viewer, it doesn’t look like they’ll be getting the answer they were after — a decision that she made abundantly clear for other fans in the future.

Japanese Twitch streamer banned for baring it all amid karaoke session YouTube: junchannelMega popular Japanese streamer Junichi Kato has found himself being slapped with the ban hammer on Twitch. The outlandish streamer often draws comparisons to xQc for his energy, but this time caught the ire of Twitch mods for showing a bit too much of himself. Junichi Kato, otherwise known as kato_junichi0817 on Twitch and junchannel on YouTube, has amassed an impressive following in his time on the livestreaming platforms. Looking at his past year on Sullygnome, he boasts an easy average of 20,000 viewers at any given time, with an enormous peak viewership of 87,510 in September 2021. With a fanbase as large as his, and with a reputation for consistently going bigger and crazier with his stunts, it was only a matter of time before the 36-year-old streamer found himself on the rough end of Twitch’s notoriously inconsistent ToS. He’s now found himself on the receiving end of his first ban for ‘exposing himself’ on stream. Taking to Twitter to express himself in his unique style he said “Forgive me Twitch,” based on rough translations. “Reflecting on it, I’m crying now.” Continuing his lighthearted commentary on the ban on Twitch, Junichi poked fun at the mega-company, saying “Oh, Twitch isn’t a karaoke platform?” Junichi, colloquially known as ‘Unkochan’ has had an impressive impact on the Japanese streaming community, often touted as being ‘Japan’s largest streamer’. A reddit comment had this to say on his impact on the Japanese livestream scene: “It’s not even an exaggeration that he singlehandedly triggered the recent migration of all the Japanese streamers into Twitch the past year or so. Before he came to Twitch, it was basically a niche streaming site to watch pro fps players like Shaka or Stylishnoob. After he came to Twitch, it seems like every other streamer has started to make the transition from Youtube streaming to Twitch. He’s also a really unique streamer in that in the 13 years he’s been streaming, he’s turned donations off the entire time.” Read More: VTuber Veibae cops first ever Twitch ban – Whenever anyone finds themselves banned on Twitch, it’s usually a good guess that nudity was somehow involved. UnkoChan’s ban is no different, with the streamer showing, and shaking, his butt during a Karaoke stream. As many were quick to point out, the amount of butt shown in the video that got the hugely popular streamer banned is far less than is regularly seen on other channels, especially with the Hot Tub meta still firm in the collective memory of Twitch users. Though some were also happy to make light of the situation “warranted ban, not enough water” With the comparisons to xQc, there’s also been a lot of discussion on Twitter and Reddit focusing on the ban for “showing butt cleavage” with xQc receiving no ban for illegally watching Hunter x Hunter on stream during the anime meta. There’s been no official response from Twitch, but we’ll keep updates on the situation, should it develop.

Japanese streamer angry after YouTube subtitles claim she used a slur YouTube/Sakura SenpaiJapanese Twitch streamer SAKURA Senpai wasn’t happy after YouTube’s auto-subtitles incorrectly indicated that she said a slur in one of her recent videos. According to the subtitles on her February 16 video “How to talk to girls according to Japanese English textbook,” Senpai used a slang slur “Asian n**gas” around the 2:50 mark. However, as SAKURA was quick to point out during her most recent stream, the video is chalked full of errors to the point where YouTube didn’t even get her name right. “YouTube subtitles say ‘Asian n-word’ or something. I didn’t say that at all!” she explained. “Seriously. I didn’t say the n-word at all.” “I just really want to apologize,” the streamer continued, despite the fact it wasn’t her fault. “I’m so sorry, but I didn’t say that. YouTube just misunderstood.” She went on to say that she didn’t know how to fix the problem, but provided additional evidence that YouTube was in the wrong. Loading up the video, the entertainer showed how mere seconds into the video, YouTube mistook “SAKURA Senpai Live Japanese streamer” for “Agnes my life Japanese sister Eva.” “What’s Agnes?!” the streamer asked her chat. “What does it mean?” The errors continued a bit later on in the video too; the video mistook her saying “in Japan” for “in the farm” when she was talking about Valentine’s Day. “In the farm?!” she laughed, clearly amused albeit frustrated by the auto subtitles. For her part, Senpai seemed to conclude that this would be a good way to get multiple views on her video from each user, suggesting that her audience first watch it first normally and then with subtitles for a good laugh. There’s no denying that the mistakes YouTube made were quite brutal, to say the least, even if it was just a case of the program having a hard time understanding her accent. Luckily, Senpai approached things with a clear head and was able to explain it all to her chat.

Japanese streamer groped by stranger during Shibuya Halloween bash Japanese Twitch streamer “Meowko” had an unsavory experience with a stranger while she was trying to stream Halloween festivities in Tokyo’s Shibuya ward. With Halloween upon us, folks are out and about celebrating the spooky holiday all around the world – including Tokyo’s Shibuya ward, where crowds gather en masse to party in the center’s iconic street crossings. However, such gatherings are known to get a bit rowdy, with a reported 13 arrests made last year for such offenses as theft, assault, and groping, the last of which was caught on camera during a streamer’s 2019 Halloween festivities. Japanese streamer “Meowko” was making her way through Shibuya’s crowded streets with a group of friends when her camera caught a gut-wrenching incident that left viewers’ jaws on the floor. As they walked, a man casually reached out and grabbed her friend’s breast, angrily lifting his hand as he was reproached by the woman before being moved out of view by the crowd. The partygoers regrouped a few moments later, where Meowko explained that her friend had kicked the man in reaction to the assault – an understandable response to such a horrific act. “She kicked him,” Meowko explained in shock. “She just said that she kicked the man because the dude was grabbing her boob. Holy s**t, oh my god. I’m so sorry. She just kicked him so hard.” The internet is mostly in agreement with her friend’s actions, with commenters across sites like Reddit denouncing the groping in heated comments out of anger for the woman. “The audacity,” one user wrote of the interaction. “What the ****? And he tries to look confused after.” Others were confused that the policeman in the clip seemed to “move the crowd along” without confronting the groper – although some argued that he may not have seen the incident due to the mass of people crowding the street. https://www.flickr.com/photos/danramarch/29333983472No matter the case, sexual assault is never okay. With Halloween parties rife in the coming days, the incident on Meowko’s stream acts as a shocking warning to partygoers to protect themselves and celebrate safely.

Japanese politician wants PewDiePie’s dogs to help promote tourism Instagram/PewDiePieYouTube sensation Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg was blown away after the governor of Gunma in Japan invited his dogs, Maya and Edgar, to help promote tourism in the region. PewDiePie has been loving life in Japan recently. The Swedish YouTuber had only recently been able to move there after trying to since 2019 and it seems like he’s not the only one loving his new home. In his latest video, Kjellberg revealed that his dogs had received an invitation from the governor of Gumma to check out the sights. The video, which is listed by PewDiePie as an ad, begins with the Swede calling his dogs into the room to read them a letter presuming sent by Japanese politician Ichita Yamamoto. “We would like to invite you on a trip to Gunma Prefecture. Gunma Prefecture is a beautiful place with many hot springs, delicious vegetables, and beautiful nature,” he read. “Please bring your family, PewDiePie and Marzia.” Throughout the nearly 20-minute video, Pewds visited numerous spots in the region including places to dine, relax, and sights to see. That said, he made it clear that Gunma had sponsored the trip. “Gunma sponsored this trip, so you have to go to Gunma right now. Book your tickets to Gunma. Go to Gunma,” he reiterated. Overall, the video played out similarly to his standard vlog videos, but it’s quite interesting to see how Japanese politicians are trying to use PewDiePie’s dogs to help promote tourism. Whether or not it has any effect, however, remains to be seen.

Japanese Rainbow Six coach calls himself fat and beatboxes during bizarre interview Screengrab via TwitchFans who tuned into Rainbow Six Siege’ Pro League finals were greeted with a hilariously bizarre celebration as the location for the next premier event on the calendar was finally revealed. At plenty of esports events, developers and tournament organizers are usually handed the opportunity to announce some upcoming game updates and locations of new events to get fans excited about the future of the scene. That was no different during the Season 9 Pro League finals in Milan, as it was revealed that the tenth installment of the Rainbow Six finals event would be heading to Japan – prompting wild celebrations from fans. However, none of them matched the excitement of Yasuhiro ‘kizoku’ Nishi, who took on the mantle of welcoming the Siege world to his home country in an incredibly unique, yet strange, manner. “I’m so happy,” screamed the PET Nora-Rengo coach and owner, explaining his delight at having a major event taking place in Japan. “Japanese Siege community is very, very big,” he added. Yet, things started to take an even stranger twist as kizoku carried on by mocking himself. “And, my stomach is big too!” However, the increasingly bizarre interview didn’t stop just there. Kizoku immediately broke into a rap, prompting the interviewer to give him the floor as he celebrated “sushi” with some quick bars and a few taps of his stomach, too, for good measure. Things came back down to earth as the popular Siege personality dropped a relatively normal message of support for all the players and fans who make the trip to his homeland – before signing off with a screech of ‘arrivederci’ to the Italian fans in attendance. The tenth running of the Rainbow Six finals Pro League Finals will get underway in November, giving pros plenty of time to grit their teeth in the game’s upcoming updates as they battle to make it to Japan for the premier event. It also gives Kizoku plenty of time to come up with his next set of crazy antics, which he will probably ramp up to the next level considering he’ll be representing his nation on home turf.

Japanese official slams “nuisance” streamers amid Johnny Somali arrest X/g_menguts_chJapanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Matsuno is calling out YouTubers for causing trouble after Johnny Somali was arrested for allegedly trespassing during a Kick broadcast. The streaming world has been alight with controversy in recent weeks with Kick streamer Johnny Somali causing disturbances in Japan, much to the frustration of locals and other streamers. In the past few months, Somali had been attacked for racist outbursts directed towards locals and even harassed Twitch streamer Meowko after running into her. Now, following his arrest at the hands of Japanese police, Cabinet Secretary Matsuno has weighed in on the controversy. Streamers urged to stop “invading privacy and causing nuisance” in Japan At a press conference in late September, Cabinet Secretary Matsuno discussed the controversy and expressed his belief that streamers should refrain from, “invading privacy and causing nuisance.” While the official believes that streamers should have a right to broadcast, the trouble IRL streams have caused for non-streamers made him speak out. “Of course, we must ensure the freedom of YouTubers and other broadcasters, but within that, we must not violate the privacy of others or cause nuisance. Naturally, you must refrain from doing so,” he said. Matsuno further added that the police should respond accordingly with this policy whenever privacy is infringed or someone is causing a nuisance. Since being arrested live on stream for allegedly breaking into a construction site, Johnny Somali has remained inactive on Kick and hasn’t posted to Discord. It’s still not clear what he has been charged with, but trespassing in Japan can result in three years in jail. We’ll have to wait and see what happens with the controversial streamer and if a trial looms.

Japanese police arrest YouTuber for uploading anime and gameplay footage White FoxPolice in Japan have arrested a 52-year-old YouTuber for uploading footage of Steins;Gate: My Darling’s Embrace and SpyxFamily to the platform. The Content Overseas Distribution Association (CODA) organization announced that for the first time ever, someone has been arrested in the country for uploading footage of a video game and anime. According to Anime News Network, a Nagoya City man was arrested on Wednesday by Miyagi Prefectural Police for the crime of posting videos to YouTube. Kadokawa, the rights holder for Steins;Gate says the man had been uploading footage for a few years now, since at least 2019 with an hour-long “let’s play” video seemingly being what resulted in the arrest. Why was the YouTuber arrested? The YouTuber in question was reportedly uploading videos and earning money from ad monetization despite not having permission. After CODA and Kadokawa determined the man’s actions were malicious, the authorities were contacted. The YouTuber also reportedly admitted that he knew what the was doing was illegal. YouTubers are encouraged to get permission from rights holders to upload content to avoid copyright infringement and action will be taken against others who post unauthorized content. Even with permission, however, users are often limited in how much and what content they are allowed to post and monetize. Companies implement these policies in order to prevent spoilers and channels from profiting from significant story material. In this case, for instance, the YouTuber posted the endings to Steins;Gate: My Darling’s Embrace, something prohibited by the rights holder.

Japanese IShowSpeed fans gather outside hospital to support YouTube star amid illness YouTube: IShowSpeedFans of YouTube star IShowSpeed gathered outside a hospital in Tokyo to support the streamer as he battles an intense sinus infection that left his right eye severely swollen. IShowSpeed is one of the most prominent streamers on the net. After being handed a permanent ban from Twitch in 2021, he went on to make a huge name for himself on YouTube, where he boasts over 18 million subscribers. Speed even weighed in as one of YouTube’s most-watched streamers of 2022, and recently scored an exclusive show with Kai Cenat on Rumble. The streamer has a huge fanbase, with viewers tuning into his over-the-top broadcasts from all around the world — and those fans are showing their support in a heartwarming way. IShowSpeed fans gather outside Tokyo hospital to cheer up sick YouTuber On July 29, Speed was rushed to a hospital in Tokyo, Japan after he reportedly suffered a severe cluster headache and a swollen right eye. It was later revealed that Speed was suffering from an intense sinus infection, and according to a statement from his friend, the influencer could have lost his eye if he hadn’t received medical attention right away. The streamer is currently on the mend in Tokyo — but he’s not weathering the storm alone. A wholesome clip circling the internet shows Speed’s Japanese fans standing outside of the hospital where he’s presently staying, chanting his name in support. The fans even broke out into song, singing the YouTuber’s famous song, ‘World Cup,’ which he performed at the Rolling Loud music festival in early July. Speed has yet to give another update on his health, but it’s clear that fans are hoping he gets well soon and are sending him their best thoughts and wishes.

Japanese man who became Toco the Dog says he wants others to follow in his footsteps I want to be an animal/YouTubeToco, a Japanese YouTuber, has opened up about the interest people have in his hobby of dressing in his incredible hyperrealistic Border Collie costume. Toco the Dog – known for his $15,791 hyper-realistic border collie costume – has done his first interview whilst dressed as a dog. The Japanese man went viral in 2022 after unleashing his canine alter ego and his ridiculously realistic costume, which has shocked the internet. He went viral once again in July 2023 when he went out in public in the costume for the first time. In his first in-costume chat with EFE, a Spanish international news agency, Toco claims that fans want to follow in his footsteps as they ask him for advice. “Since I was a child I wanted a change,” he shared. “When I am dressed in the suit I feel happy because my dreams come true.” He went on to share that receives lots of positive messages, including from some who want to follow in his footsteps. “I receive all kinds of messages, among the positive messages, some tell me that they want to do what [I’ve done],” he said, according to The Daily Star. “This has allowed me to see that there are other people like me.” This is not just a fancy dress outfit by the way, as Toco has always dreamed of transforming into a dog. “I’ve thought about it since I can remember,” he told MailOnline in 2022. However, the YouTuber has said that he doesn’t ‘want my hobbies to be known, especially by the people I work with’. “They think it’s weird that I want to be a dog. For the same reason why I can’t show my real face.” Who is Toco? Toco has grown increasingly popular since he posted a video on July 21 of him walking around in public in his $15,791 custom dog costume. The costume — meticulously crafted by Zeppet Workshop, a company known for its costume work in movies and television — took over 40 days to construct. For the last year, Toco has showcased the costume in videos posted to his YouTube channel, with many viewers questioning their own eyes. In all of these videos, Toco can be seen posing in his dog costume and behaving just as a dog would. In the video, Toco is seen being taken out for a walk on a leash, engaging with other dogs and humans at the park. The reactions of passers-by and other dogs range from curiosity to astonishment, with many seemingly unable to discern that Toco is not actually a dog. With his YouTube channel gaining traction, viewers can expect to see more of Toco’s adventures as a Collie in the future. As Toco himself puts it, “I will continue this in the next video! Please subscribe to this channel!”

Jamie Foxx shocks NELK boys with awkward Mike Tyson stand-up joke fail YouTube: FULL SEND PODCAST / Instagram: Mike TysonActor Jamie Foxx regaled the NELK Boys with a hilarious story of when he joked about Mike Tyson in a stand-up routine… while Iron Mike himself was in the audience. The NELK Boys are a group of YouTubers who have taken the platform by storm with their over-the-top pranks and jaw-dropping meetups with fans — which have landed them in legal trouble in the past. Alongside their hugely successful YouTube channel, the NELK Boys have also started their own podcast, which saw a surprise appearance from none other than Academy-award winning actor Jamie Foxx. During the February 25 podcast episode, Foxx regaled the YouTubers with his past and present exploits, including the time he made a joke about Mike Tyson back in ’89. Foxx claimed that he was in the middle of a stand-up comedy routine when he started to crack a joke about Tyson. To his surprise, no one was laughing. The situation was quickly explained when someone from the crowd called out that Iron Mike himself was sitting in the audience. After some back and forth with the audience, Tyson’s own brother, Rodney, yelled: “Mike said do the joke — but that s**t better be funny.” Luckily, Foxx ended up getting a “standing ovation” for his comedic chops and was even invited to hang out with the legendary boxer after the show. Of course, the NELK Boys were extremely curious to hear what the joke was. For the first time ever, Foxx explained it: “It was actually just a scenario,” he said. “I said I pulled into the Kentucky Fried Chicken through the drive-thru, and I didn’t say what I saw, but I said what I heard. “‘Hi, welcome to Kentucky Fried Chicken, may I take your order?’” Foxx continued in an imitation of Iron Mike’s unmistakable lisp. “It was basically saying that Mike was working at KFC.” (Topic begins at 1:23:50) Foxx’s appearance on the NELK Boys’ podcast comes as just another jewel in their crown amid the release of their ‘Full Send’ NFT and the shocking success of their ‘Happy Dad’ brand seltzer.

Japanese-fluent IRL streamer catches Tokyo bartender swearing profusely Twitch/starbitzychanIRL Twitch star ‘Starbitzychan’ stunned a Tokyo bartender who attempted to stream-snipe her by swearing profusely during a live broadcast. On February 24, the streamer, who teaches English as a second language, was broadcasting out of t a bar in Tokyo when the bartender began saying “chinchin” under his breath. When translated, “chinchin” is a childish word for penis that many non-Japanese speakers wouldn’t pick up on. “Those words are very naughty!” the streamer scolded the bartender, who just continued with his profanity. “Alright, I’m about to bust it,” Starbitzychan smirked before clearing her throat, shocking the woman next to her who didn’t know she was fluent in Japanese. A few moments later, the IRL streamer started going off on the bartender in his own language, surprising the man who was at a loss for words. “Ahhh!” he laughed, embarrassed that his attempt to stream snipe had been foiled. “I told him I spoke Japanese,” she told the woman sitting at the bar with her. For his part, the bartender played it cool while the entire room was all smiles at the situation. https://twitter.com/starbitzychan/status/1232346250206277632 When her friend, Alex, sat down shortly thereafter, the streamer explained how the bartender kept “whispering penis and vagina in her chat’s ears.” “If you have to translate it in a clip, just say, ‘I can speak Japanese, I know what the f**k you’re saying,’ is what I just said,” she continued. Once the stream had ended, the streamer took to Twitter to explain how the whole night had been amazing. “First stream snipe of 2020–good start!” she captioned a series of photos. We made a Japanese @gootecks I am DED at the reaction tonight hahahahhttps://t.co/HHpTYnwfIN still LIVE pic.twitter.com/ZkXz3r5A94 — ✨ Starbitzy ✨ 🇺🇦 BLM✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 (@starbitzy) February 25, 2020 Amusingly, in another of her photos, she froze the frame on the bartender’s reaction recreating the popular PogChamp Gootecks emote. The whole situation was certainly wild, and a night that Starbitzychan and her chat won’t soon forget.

James May reveals his new project, and it has nothing to do with cars James May/TwitterTop Gear and Grand Tour star James May has revealed his brand new project, and it has practically nothing to do with cars. Instead, the celebrity has invested in a quaint, roadside country British pub. James May is known worldwide for his automotive misadventures with colleagues Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond over the years. The trio have driven on every continent in the world over the course of their shows, but May’s latest project will bring him much closer to home. On September 19, he teased fans with a photo taken in front of a nondescript white building, telling them he had just bought a pub (well, half of one anyway). I’ve just bought half a pub. #TheRoySwallowcliffe pic.twitter.com/JKhR8p9gwW — James May (@MrJamesMay) September 19, 2020 Despite calling it “The Roy” on his social media, the establishment’s actual name is “The Royal Oak” and it’s located in a small village called Swallowcliffe, Wiltshire, two miles southeast of Tisbury and 11 miles west of Salisbury in the south of England. The pub is right off the main road through the village and looks like a great cozy spot to relax, grab a pint and some nice, hearty, English country food. Since he made the news public, business at the Royal Oak seems to be booming (based on May’s social media at least). Considering all that’s going on in the world with curfews, it’s probably great for publicity to have one of the most well-known names in the automotive world as a co-owner. For those of us who can’t make the trip over to the UK to check out May’s latest venture for ourselves at the moment, at least we can watch this video walkthrough with him from DRIVETUBE. The star revealed the Royal Oak had been closed for a year before he took over and had never made a profit before – the old owners got fed up especially with what’s going on in the world today, so May stepped in. “Yes, there has never been a worse time to buy half a pub, but let’s look on the bright side,” he insisted. “At least nobody else wanted it.” The Royal Oak is now officially open, so if you ever happen to find yourself passing through lovely little Swallowcliffe you might consider stopping by. If you’re not into the food or drink, you can still try and catch a glimpse of the Grand Tour star.

James Somerton called out for “manipulative” apology amid Hbomberguy allegations James SomertonIn an apology video that was deleted after just hours of being up, James Somerton was torn apart by those who felt wronged by the way he presented his content. The creator admitted to not properly crediting creators, but many blasted him for the way in which he conducted himself during the over 30 minute apology. James Somerton has been radio silent since Hbomberguy spent almost half of his 4 hour video about YouTube plagiarism focused on Somerton’s channel specifically. Hbomberguy claimed James plagiarized a large portion of his content from other creators on the platform, authors, and documentaries. In the hours following Hbomberguy’s video, Somerton deleted everything; His YouTube videos were privated, his Patreon was taken down, and he stepped away from the internet entirely for a time. However, just a few weeks later, he’d come back with an apology video. The reaction to that apology was scathing, leaving many unsatisfied with how he responded to the allegations placed against him and feeling as if he was still deflecting blame. As a result, Somerton deleted the apology mere hours after uploading it. James Somerton deletes apology video following backlash It didn’t take long for backlash to mount once James Somerton’s video was uploaded. Though he admitted fault with not properly crediting sources, he didn’t ever directly address the topic of plagiarism or acknowledge that the way in which he made his videos could be viewed in that way. “I’m really, really sorry. For the stuff in the videos, the not crediting people and – for a lot of videos, I did the opening titles thing and I tried to put, ‘This is based on this person’s research or this person’s book’, but I know now that wasn’t enough. That wasn’t ok. There were a lot of times that stuff just got put in, and there was no attempt at crediting anybody.” James Somerton explained in his apology. And, while some had a level of sympathy for Somerton’s claim that he was recently hospitalized as a result of events that unfolded following the video’s release, they found his video to be “manipulative”. Jessie Gender, one of the people whose content was allegedly plagiarized by Somerton, put out an entire tweet thread and subsequent video explaining her feelings on the apology. You can watch her full video for additional context, but the gist is that she felt his apology wasn’t much of an apology at all and that Somerton centered the video around himself rather than the victims. “James has caused a lot of harm, and people deserved an apology. Frankly, this video was not that.” Additionally, Somerton didn’t acknowledge yet another almost 2-hour video from Todd in the Shadows that broke down information Todd claims Somerton “made up” in many of his video essays outside of the plagiarism allegations. He also re-instated his Patreon and put many of his videos back up. Somerton claimed that he put his Patreon back up so that those who were pledged to him monthly could take down their pledge. However, if Somerton truly didn’t want people’s money on his Patreon, creators have the ability to turn off monthly payments in case they feel as if they didn’t fulfill a promise to their patrons, whether it be a lack of content or exclusive rewards. James Somerton even lied within the apology video, claiming he’d compile a list of every author he took content from without crediting. However, that list never came, and his video was swiftly deleted. In all fairness, a full list of authors Somerton allegedly plagiarized from would take a long time to put together. Hbomberguy’s video displayed, in some cases, over a dozen authors whose work was directly or almost directly copied over to Somerton’s video without being credited. And that’s just one video. Dan Olson (aka FoldingIdeas), a vocal critic of Somerton far before Hbomberguy’s video, also went on to call out Somerton in both the YouTube comments of the apology video and in his own tweet thread for spending thousands on new camera equipment while claiming he’d need more money from Patreon to stay afloat. Somerton also told a lengthy story about his friendship with co-writer Nick being ruined as a result of the events that unfolded after Hbomberguy’s video came out, only to say he “never intended” for a lot of the content in his videos to be there, instead putting the blame on Nick. “I want to apologize for the misinformation and outright lies that ended up in the videos, I can honestly say that I never intended for any of that stuff to be in the videos. In most cases, I didn’t write it.” claimed James Somerton. Since uploading the video, not only has the apology been deleted, but James Somerton’s YouTube and Patreon have once again gone dark. However, he made a community post that was up for a short time before his channel was gone from public view: He promised to “apologize properly and in detail when I’m more mentally stable” before pulling his YT channel a short time after.

James Welsh brands Trisha Paytas’ cosmetic collab “worst skincare launch ever” Instagram: Trisha Paytas, James WelshPopular British YouTuber James Welsh has reviewed Trisha Paytas’ skincare line, and branded it the “worst skincare launch ever”, and criticized the production methods. Welsh’s video covered a lot of ground from the production of the products to testing out the sunscreen. Welsh noticed that products had separated, leaked, and alleged that they might have been cheaply made. Welsh said the set cost $200 (now $159.00) and featured a variety of products. This included sunscreen, toner, cleanser, and night creams. The skincare line is in collaboration with Charlotte Wilson, the CEO of Glow Skin Enhancement, who does not claim to be a doctor, an aesthetician, or a dermatologist but claims to have “the gift of skin” that comes from God. Welsh claims that Wilson “is not a chemist” and wonders who is formulating the products. Welsh also says in the video that he found it “hard to find the ingredient list for these products.” In the video, Welsh shows off the products including one that appears to have separated. When reviewing another product containing SPF, Welsh says he doesn’t “know how that has sunscreen in it,” in what he says is his personal opinion. When trying the product on, he says “something’s not right.” Welsh then proceeds to use an app that should show whether UV light is being blocked on your skin. The app appears to show no difference in the appearance of Welsh’s skin (it should appear black) leading Welsh to conclude “this isn’t a sunscreen” though adds he thinks “the camera could be faulty.” He concludes the video by saying he plans to throw the collection away as he doesn’t think “it’s fair or safe to give this away” and says he’s “dubious” of the brand. Claims of skin burning after using Paytas’ products The brand has faced criticism from one user who received an angry response after she claimed her products were delivered broken. Then a woman named Sara claimed in a TikTok that she received a burn after using Trisha Paytas’ products. Sara claimed in a tweet that the reaction “burned like crazy” and that she was up till 4 am “with tissues dabbing my nose because it was WET and wouldn’t stop.” Paytas has not responded to the criticism yet on their social media channels and Sara’s Twitter is now private, meaning her tweets are now unable to be read. The original TikToks however are still up on her account at @sarastrohstein. Paytas is no stranger to controversy either. In 2021, they have been beefing with podcaster and former friend Ethan Klein and accused Klein of lying. Paytas is also known for a months-long feud with Gabbie Hanna who they recently labeled “vile and disgusting.” Paytas has also had criticized Dixie D’Amelio, James Charles, and Jeffree Star.

James Harden & Tayler Holder reportedly suing Austin McBroom for $2 million each Tayler Holder Instagram / BackgridAustin McBroom is reportedly facing two separate suits seeking $2 million by NBA star James Harden and TikTok’s Tayler Holder over the losses from the Social Gloves’ Battle of the Platforms boxing event. This is on the heels of a $100 million suit by the event’s streaming partner LiveXLive against Simply Greatness Productions (SGP), who ran Battle of the Platforms. McBroom isn’t affiliated with SGP, but his company does own the ‘Social Gloves’ moniker. But that’s all on top of the latest action against the ACE Family head, which looks to be a development stemming from the reported $10 million loss from the event. Harden was named an investor in the ‘Battle of the Platforms’ YouTubers vs TikTokers event in June, and it looks like he’s out to recoup some of his money. According to a report from Page Six, Harden’s lawyers are seeking the $2 million that the Brooklyn Nets guard invested, as well as an additional $400,000 for promised profits. Meanwhile, TikToker Tayler Holder is also seeking $2 million from McBroom, according to a report from The Blast. Previously, Holder and Bryce Hall shaded McBroom for lack of payments out of the event, and it seems that that has now escalated to a legal suit for breach of contract. According to the lawsuit, Holder says he was paid $85,000 upon signing for the fight, but he was allegedly guaranteed $2 million or 2% of an adjusted gross revenue for the event. The event, however, floundered in PPV numbers with only about 136,000 packages being sold, with fighters claiming they’d gone unpaid in the weeks following. Legal battles continue to reign down on the ACE Family collective in the fallout of the Battle of the Platforms spectacle. Harden and Holder’s disputes add another $4 million on top of the pile of claims against McBroom. While it’s not clear how the ACE Family saga will unfold, Dexerto will continue to follow the story as more developments come about.

James Kingston’s windy crane climb is the scariest thing you’ll see today Instagram: thejameskingstonYouTuber James Kingston has set hearts racing after uploading a video of him free-climbing on a crane in Munich, and it is guaranteed to be the scariest thing you watch today. One of the greatest things about YouTube is the ability to watch almost anything you could ever imagine, allowing viewers to flick through things that they couldn’t otherwise down from the perspective of the creative, talented, and oftentimes brave content producers who regularly upload to the platform. Of course, while some of these things are adventures of opportunities many would love to to get a chance to do, we’re not quite sure if everyone would enjoy the mindblowing escapade that James Kingston uploaded to his channel on August 15. Filmed back in 2013, when the Brit was at the height of his free-climbing and parkour days, it was one lovely morning in Munich. Kingston decided to get a better vantage spot of the beautiful German city by going for a leisurely climb, on top of a crane. View this post on Instagram Anyone who’s seen Kingston in action before are well aware that he holds no fear for heights, and started an association with FaZe Clan back in 2017 when he decided to scale their $10 million mansion. He’s taken his skills all over the world, climbing the arch at Wembley Stadium in London, a battleship, and even hung onto a crane in Los Angeles with one hand. So, while climbing a crane in Munich doesn’t sound like something out of the normal for Kingston, it doesn’t make it any less terrifying to watch in the eight-minute uncut footage he uploaded to YouTube, taken from a visit to the Bavarian city seven years ago. In the video, he can be seen climbing up the ladder and into the cockpit of the vehicle, before making his way outside and actually walking across the long metal arm that hangs out to lift items, walking carefully across the slim frame while the wind blows around him. From a POV perspective, you can see how small the area he has to walk on is, but even crazier is how you can see how far off the ground he is, well above multiple story buildings. You can watch the full video, and give yourself crippling anxiety, below. Of course, the YouTuber managed to make it down without plummeting onto the Munich concrete, but it definitely doesn’t make watching the video any less nerve-wracking, especially when he looks down and shows you the drop below. In 2019, he announced that he announced that he would no longer upload climbing clips due to YouTube demonetizing his videos. Yet, he delighted fans in July 2020 when he confirmed they would be returning to his channel, and is currently releasing footage from climbs he made in the past.

James Charles vs Tati Westbrook live YouTube subscriber count tracker The drama between James Charles and Tati Westbrook has sent shockwaves throughout the YouTube community, with subscribers leaving Charles’ channel in their droves and moving on to Tati’s – but now, the tables have turned in a big way. James Charles subscribers immediately began leaving the channel on May 10 after the release of Tati’s Bye Sister video – where the fashion and beauty guru took 40 minutes to break down her relationship with Charles and called a close on their friendship after days of tension between the two. The upload, which went viral almost instantly, has become the biggest talking point on the platform and swept into mainstream news after Charles lost a record-breaking number of subscribers. James Charles and Tati Westbrook: Live sub counts and gap It didn’t take James long to respond to the drama though, after his channel lost 538,883 subs on May 10, although his apology video has quickly become one of the most disliked videos on YouTube ever. That number has since been eclipsed, twice, with the channel losing 1,261,460 subscribers on May 11 and a further 772,373 on May 12. In a similar fashion to the PewDiePie and T-Series war for YouTube supremacy, onlookers have quickly started following the record-breaking losses with their own live trackers. FlareTV, a channel operated by two Canadian teens, followed the PewDiePie and T-Series battle to the bitter end and has now switched focus to the fashion and beauty YouTubers. At the height of their feud, Charles approached nearly three million subscribers lost – dwindling down from 16,014,696, and dipping below 13.5 million. At the same time, Tati saw a huge upswing in her own channel, skyrocketing from 6,382,321 to over 10 million subscribers in less than a week. However, Charles uploaded a video on May 18 that completely changed up the narrative, exposing Tati for multiple “lies” in her story with screenshots of text messages as evidence. Since then, Charles’ “No More Lies” video has given him a major leg up in his beef with Tati – as well as Jeffree Star, who cut ties with Charles’ clothing line and unfollowed him on social media after Tweeting about the situation in favor of Tati. Will James Charles regain his subscribers? The ‘race’ between two fashion and beauty YouTubers may not be as gripping as the war waged by PewDiePie and T-Series, or even have the same sort of fan support that impacts the changes, but being able to track such a huge loss because of one video is truly astonishing – as well as Charles’ subsequent comeback. Charles has since seen a major upswing in subscribers after uploading his second response video, with fans sounding out in favor of the once-disgraced beauty guru over Tati. Tati is losing her quickly-gained subscriber base fast, dropping from over 10,675,000 subs to 10,668,000 subs just an hour after Charles’ video went live – a major development, considering the YouTuber gained over five million subs in response to the drama. In comparison, Charles himself has seen an increase in subscribers, gaining subs by the hundreds as his latest video gains traction across the web, which could see him restored to his 15 million subscribers. Since the original upload of Tati’s video, a number of high profile stars have come out and criticized the beauty mogul, including Jeffree Star who labeled Charles a “danger to society” in a tweet posted on May 14. Singer Zara Larsson also called out the YouTuber, stating that he had messaged her boyfriend. Before you believe anything that was said today, remember there are always two sides to every story. — Jeffree Star (@JeffreeStar) May 18, 2019 Star has likewise seen a drop in subscribers following the release of Charles’ video, coming out with a statement after the fact that read, “there are always two sides to every story.” While Tati appeared to have the definite upper hand, fans’ opinions are quickly shifting in favor of Charles – but with this story still developing, there’s no telling how matters will turn out, in the end.

James Corden responds to YouTuber pretending to be him The Late Late Show with James Corden, Josh Pieters & Archie Manners – YouTubeJames Corden is hailed as one of the world’s most popular late night hosts — but one YouTuber manged to trick high-profile celebs into thinking he was the TV star, which Corden reacted to in a new segment of the Late Late Show. YouTubers Josh Pieters and Archie Manners shocked the world by scoring the very first public interview with Tiger King star Carole Baskin, who believed she was on Jimmy Fallon’s The Tonight Show, thanks to their crafty impersonation skills. This isn’t the only impersonation they’ve pulled off, either, with two also imitating James Corden by using a soundboard with audio clips taken from previous segments of the Late Late Show, successfully scoring massive interviews under the guise of a completely different person. These phony interviews didn’t escape Corden’s notice, who brought up the insane moment during a May 7 episode of his show, where he jokingly challenged the YouTubers’ notion he could be “replaced” with sound bites of his own voice. “I’m getting this overwhelming feeling, that frankly, I’m not as important to this job as I maybe thought I was,” Corden admitted to his crew via their Zoom call. “I just want to say this, right here, right now: I will not be replaced with sound bytes, okay?” To prove his point, Corden walked off screen, as a way to show that the segment couldn’t carry on without him — but capitalized on the humor of the YouTubers’ skills with his own mashed-up edit of clips from the Late Late Show, which said, “Stick around, we’ll be right back!” Pieters has since reacted to Corden’s response to his prank, writing in a Tweet that the other celebrities he’d interviewed did, indeed, end up scoring a spot on the Late Late Show — in a way. You see guys @HollyH @mollymaehague @tommytntfury @CraigDavid I wasn’t lying when I said you were going to be on the Late Late show with @JKCorden pic.twitter.com/PmhxXXt2cM — Josh Pieters (@joshua_pieters) May 7, 2020 That’s not all: Baskin has even responded to her faked interview with Pieters, writing in a statement, “I appreciate their cleverness and that they created their video in a way that I don’t feel was in any way mean-spirited.” Big thanks to Carole for taking our video in the spirit it was intended; I’m glad the Big Cat Public Safety Act is still getting some publicity, even if it’s not on Fallon. pic.twitter.com/NRjK4d2aNy — Josh Pieters (@joshua_pieters) May 4, 2020 Thankfully, it seems everyone is on board with Pieters’ massive prank — just one of many he’s pulled off in the past, including flying out Katie Hopkins to Prague to win a completely faked award.
