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 \u2014 but it doesn\u2019t look like he\u2019s 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\u2019t publish here, for obvious reasons). With critics slamming Star for the label\u2019s potential effect on younger makeup fans, he was met with backlash on all sides \u2014 even receiving some potential threats, as well.

I wonder if the people who constantly tell me to kill myself every minute of the day ever get tired or hungry??? \u2014 Jeffree Star (@JeffreeStar) August 24, 2020 That\u2019s not all; Star also dispelled rumors of paying off anyone he\u2019s currently seeing, writing, \u201cI know it\u2019s devastating news for some people, but I don\u2019t give money to anyone I\u2019m dating or anyone who is f***ing me. Work on your own insecurities sis, I\u2019m not the problem.\u201d I know it\u2019s devastating news for some people, but I don\u2019t give money to anyone I\u2019m dating or anyone who is fucking me. Work on your own insecurities sis, I\u2019m not the problem \ud83d\udc96 \u2014 Jeffree Star (@JeffreeStar) August 24, 2020 Finally, Star ended his tangent with another quip: \u201cWorry about how to pay your own bills, not who\u2019s in my mouth. Thank you, God bless \u2013 Upper management.\u201d Worry about how to pay your own bills, not who\u2019s in my mouth \ud83d\udcaf Thank you, God bless \u2013 Upper management \u2014 Jeffree Star (@JeffreeStar) August 24, 2020 This continues Star\u2019s unbothered attitude toward peoples\u2019 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 \u2014 and while he had an explanation for his latest palette\u2019s divisive name, isn\u2019t going to give critics the satisfaction of renaming it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
