Jeffree Star under fire for comments on trans and nonbinary people YouTube: Bussin’ With The BoysMakeup mogul Jeffree Star is taking some heat due to comments he made about trans and nonbinary people during an episode of Taylor Lewan\u2019s \u2018Bussin\u2019 With The Boys\u2019 podcast. Jeffree Star is an OG beauty influencer and makeup mogul, boasting a popular presence on social media as well as an expansive empire of makeup products, clothing, and even yak meat. After retreating from the limelight in 2021 in favor of living a rural life on his 500-acre yak ranch, Star has slowly but surely come back into the picture over the past few months, most recently calling out fellow influencer Mikayla Nogueira\u2019s controversial mascara promo. Although fans were here for his critical review of the same product, the YouTuber is now facing major backlash online due to comments he made about trans and nonbinary people in an episode of the \u2018Bussin\u2019 With The Boys\u2019 podcast, hosted by the Tennessee Titans\u2019 Taylor Lewan. Jeffree Star sparks backlash after comments go viral In the episode, Star criticized trans and nonbinary people, claiming to have garnered a conservative following as a result of his views. \u201cI\u2019m not into all the other bullsh*t,\u201d Star began, referencing trans and nonbinary people. \u201cThe \u2018they\u2019 and \u2018them.\u2019 And all that extra sh*t that we added during the pandemic because everyone was so bored in their f*cking houses. They just started to make up more sh*t.\u201d \u201cThat\u2019s why the conservatives like me, because I\u2019m just real,\u201d he continued. \u201cYou\u2019re not they and them. You\u2019re trans \u2014 you\u2019re male, or you\u2019re female. And people get so mad when I say that. How are you a \u2018they?\u2019 What the f*ck does that mean? It\u2019s stupid!\u201d (Topic begins at 1:03:31) Star has since garnered a wave of backlash online after a tweet calling out his comments went viral. \u201cThis is rich, coming [from] someone who constantly refers to themselves as an \u2018alien\u2019 in society,\u201d producer Daniel Preda wrote in a post that\u2019s garnered over 5,000 likes. \u201cIt\u2019s really not that hard to respect people\u2019s pronouns, but hey, anything for a little more attention that you crave so deeply, right? You\u2019re embarrassing, Jefferson.\u201d \u201cI\u2019m so tired of this,\u201d another commenter said in a quote reply. \u201cJust respect non-binary and trans people. Jeffree Star is disgusting.\u201d Another user pointed out a previous video in which Star proudly displayed a gender neutral bathroom in one of his warehouses. I know ppl change (esp for money & attention) but I remember in a shane dawson\u2019s vid Jeffree proudly showing off his company\u2019s all gender bathroom. pic.twitter.com\/dbKuJDHrYD \u2014 gray jedi (pinned! \ud83c\udfac ) (@GrayJedi2189) February 15, 2023 \u201cI know it has to be addressed, but he is doing this to stay relevant and revive his 2019 fame,\u201d another argued. \u201cAt some point we just have to stop giving him the time of day.\u201d I know it has to be addressed but he is doing this to stay relevant and revive his 2019 fame.

In the clips, Star directly called out his critics, arguing that he \u201cnever said\u201d that \u201cnonbinary people don\u2019t exist.\u201d \u201cI said I don\u2019t like the pronouns and I don\u2019t agree with them. I never said they don\u2019t exist. B*tch, I\u2019m a freak. I\u2019m a part of the LGTBQ community! B*tch, I\u2019m pansexual. I\u2019m bisexual. I\u2019m whatever the f*ck you wanna call me.\u201d \u201cI do not agree with a few things,\u201d he continued. \u201cI\u2019m old school. This new, all these f*ckin\u2019 thirty terms, Girl, stop. Stop complicating everything. Just chill. Take a hit. Relax. And don\u2019t put words in my f*ckin\u2019 mouth.\u201d This latest news follows rampant speculation that he was actually dating Lewan due to a series of cryptic tweets he posted prior to their viral podcast episode.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
