Jeffree Star hits back at critics upset he\u2019s 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 \u2014 but not everyone is happy with his philanthropic deeds. Star\u2019s 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 \u201c#JeffreeStarApproved.\u201d 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 \u2014 but even acts of charity can come under scrutiny. Apparently, not everyone is happy about Star\u2019s 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\u2019s privately donated millions to charitable causes. \u201cIf anyone is mad that I\u2019m giving away MY money, you have a lot of soul-searching to do,\u201d he began. \u201cMy family and I have donated millions privately, and I\u2019ve helped every single person in my life. I love giving back, if that offends anyone, can\u2019t relate.\u201d If anyone is mad that I\u2019m giving away MY money, you have a lot of soul-searching to do\u2026 My family and I have donated millions of dollars privately, and I\u2019ve helped every single person in my life.
