Jaclyn Hill used alcohol to cope with being \u201ccanceled\u201d over makeup launch Jaclyn Hill, YouTubeYouTuber and makeup mogul Jaclyn Hill suffered massive backlash over her first-ever product launch, which included alleged fuzz and bumps on her lipsticks \u2014 but the drama didn\u2019t come without a massive mental toll. Hill released her very own lipstick line in 2019, which quickly sparked outrage across the net after dissatisfied customers claimed that the products weren\u2019t up to standard. Instead, the lipsticks were alleged to be covered in fuzz and bumps and even filled with holes, with some even claiming the \u201cfuzz\u201d to be human hair. Why is my @jaclyncosmetics Decaf lipstick lumpy?? @Jaclynhill This cant be ok right?? #jaclyncosmetics #jaclynhill pic.twitter.com\/xjffA4fUF1 \u2014 Veronica (@itsv_82) June 5, 2019 https:\/\/twitter.com\/KBuzinkai\/status\/1136784979722219521?s=20 The YouTube beauty guru was subsequently \u201ccanceled\u201d by the online community, leading to a period of major depression and anxiety that Hill opened up about in a video on February 3. According to Hill, the outrage surrounding her lipstick launch caused her such great mental duress that she found herself vomiting several times a week \u2014 a physical response that prompted her to turn to alcohol to quell her inner chaos. \u201cAt the end of the day, to cope with my anxiety and my depression, I turned to alcohol and started drinking to fix what I was feeling mentally,\u201d she explained. \u201c\u2026my anxiety gets so bad, you guys, that I uncontrollably throw up. Last year, I would say, there was a couple months\u2019 period where I was throwing up probably five days a week.\u201d The YouTuber went on to explain that her overuse of spirits to \u201cself-medicate\u201d her anxiety eventually swelled up her face and caused weight gain \u2014 a major development when one compares her current look to older photos. (Topic begins at 22:10 for mobile readers) \u201cI\u2019m fine with gaining weight,\u201d she continued. \u201cI\u2019m fine with gaining weight in my body, I\u2019m fine with it. I don\u2019t care. But what the weight represents is what makes me so upset. So when people tell me, \u2018You\u2019re fat, you need to stop getting fillers,\u2019 it triggers me, in a way.\u201d Thankfully, Hill also revealed that she is currently in therapy to address her anxiety, which comes after a tumultuous 2019 that hit many makeup stars \u2014 like James Charles \u2014 where it hurt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
