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 \u2014 but now, some critics are accusing the influencer of faking the entire ordeal. In April of last year, Jeffree Star \u2014 known for his massively popular beauty brand, Jeffree Star Cosmetics \u2014 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 \u2014 but now, some aren\u2019t too sure that he was telling the whole truth. Internet sleuth \u2018Good Citizen Records\u2019 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\u2019s April 2019 video \u2014 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 \u2014 Good Citizen Records (@RecordsCitizen) July 22, 2020 In a video titled \u201cAddressing RUMORS about me,\u201d 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. \u201cIt\u2019s all so silly, but people really run with things, and I get it,\u201d he said of the drama. \u201cThis is what 2020\u2019s about. A lot of people are bored and miserable and just want to make up s**t all day. I\u2019m used to it. It\u2019s just shocking, the levels of things that people are believing now.\u201d (Topic begins at 6:30) \u201c There were 30,000 units of just concealer stolen, and so many other things,\u201d he continued. \u201cIt was so horrifying and awful and scary. So for someone to minimize it, like it was a hoax or something, I was like\u2026 I roll with the punches. Just take my advice and learn from me, guys. It is what it is.\u201d Despite the speculation, it doesn\u2019t look like Star is letting the drama get to him, and is decidedly unbothered about accusations of lying about the theft \u2014 as well as the current hubbub surrounding friend and fellow YouTuber Shane Dawson.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
