Week\u2019s biggest drama: Jeffree Star \u201crobbed,\u201d Jaclyn Hill slams cheating rumors, more YouTube: PewDiePie \/ Jeffree Star \/ James Charles[jwplayer mgzBNoPb]While this week may have started on a slow note, things have certainly heated up as September comes to a close. With names like Jeffree Star getting caught up in some serious drama with his ex-boyfriend to makeup mogul Jaclyn Hill hitting back at cheating rumors, things aren\u2019t slowing down for a second, and we have all the tea you need to stay informed! So\u2026 What\u2019s brewing? Jeffree Star hits back at false accusations from fake accounts Who\u2019s involved? Jeffree Star is quite possibly one of the biggest names in YouTube\u2019s beauty community, having amassed an entire empire of his own under Jeffree Star Cosmetics. However, there\u2019s trouble in paradise, after he claimed that his alleged now-ex boyfriend \u2014 pro baller Andre Marhold \u2014 had stolen from him. What\u2019s the tea? Star claimed that Marhold \u2014 who he has apparently parted ways with \u2014 had taken a few designer items from his home and was seemingly not answering the phone. However, Marhold \u2014 or rather, a \u201cbackup\u201d account pretending to be him \u2014 shot back with accusations of his own, claiming that Star had acquired a sexually transmitted disease and that he\u2019d even cheated on former ex-boyfriend, Nathan Schwandt, with his friend. It seems as though these accusations, as well as the accounts making them, were completely false, as Star later explained in a statement. Claiming he is completely clean of any STD, the YouTuber is undertaking legal action against the fake accounts \u2014 but there\u2019s more to this wild tale than these rumors. But wait \u2014 there\u2019s more! A post from yet another fake \u201cbackup\u201d Instagram account pretending to be Marhold claimed that he and Star had never slept together nor even dated, going on to allege that Star had actually hired him to be a fake boyfriend in an effort to clean up his image. However, this account was later proven to be faked, with the real Marhold claiming he\u2019d never spoken on anything officially. PewDiePie and Alinity bury the hatchet Who\u2019s involved? PewDiePie is the undisputed king of YouTube, standing as the site\u2019s most-subscribed independent creator of all time. Alinity, a popular Twitch streamer, once \u201cthreatened\u201d the YouTube star with a copystrike after he used one of her clips in a video, leading to a long-standing \u201cfeud\u201d of sorts between the two. What\u2019s the tea? Years after Alinity\u2019s initial copystrike threat took place, it seems she and PewDiePie have finally made amends, after the two hashed it out in a private conversation. \u201cI never said this, but Alinity actually reached out,\u201d he said during a video uploaded on September 29. \u201cShe apologized, we totally buried the hatchet. And I don\u2019t want to take part in any more s**t on Alinity memes, even though this one is very subtle.\u201d (Topic begins at 4:24) PewDiePie\u2019s statement follows Alinity\u2019s on-stream breakdown in July, after which she revealed the heavy emotional toll all the online hate from her cat-tossing scandal had taken on her mental state. That\u2019s not all; Pewds even told his viewers to \u201cmove on\u201d from the drama, saying: \u201cI don\u2019t hold grudges, and neither should you guys. I see this a lot, people bringing up s**t someone did years ago. Yeah, no one cares anymore. Is that really what you bother your life with?\u201d Is Bella Poarch becoming the new \u2018queen of TikTok?\u2019 Who\u2019s involved? Charli D\u2019Amelio might be TikTok\u2019s reigning queen (with nearly 90 million followers on the video app), but there\u2019s another influencer who\u2019s closing in from behind \u2014 viral lipsyncer Bella Poarch. What\u2019s the tea? After breaking a TikTok record for scoring the most likes on a single post, Poarch has seemingly accrued more than twice the average views of Charli, as reported by journalist Chris Stokel-Walker. Boasting over 48 million views to Charli\u2019s 27.3 million, Poarch has turned heads across the net due to her seemingly simple videos \u2014 of which she has uploaded less than half of Charli\u2019s own upload library. Wow: Bella Poarch is getting roughly 2x the average views of Charli D’Amelio per video now pic.twitter.com\/RuweVTMSUL \u2014 Chris Stokel-Walker (@stokel) September 29, 2020 With some accusing her of being an \u201cindustry plant,\u201d Poarch has seemingly skyrocketed to internet fame out of nowhere, which is, in itself, making users pay attention. Pokimane comes under fire for \u201ctransphobic\u201d comment Who\u2019s involved? Imane \u2018Pokimane\u2019 Anys is one of Twitch\u2019s top streamers, who recently returned to the net after taking a month-long hiatus in August. What\u2019s the tea? However, her return to the net was not without some division among viewers, after the star caught flak for trying her hand at being a VTuber. That wasn\u2019t the only thing catching fans\u2019 ire, though; in an attempt to combat the \u201csimp\u201dinsult running rampant online, Pokimane referenced the age-old \u201cAttack Helicopter\u201d phrase in an Instagram post, a term that some internet users have come to view as transphobic. \u201cI\u2019m tired of seeing anyone (male, female, attack helicopter, other) be called a simp for being remotely nice to a girl,\u201d Anys wrote. Her post sparked outrage among Twitter users, prompting a quick reply from the Twitch streamer apologizing for \u201cmissing the mark\u201d with her post. \u201cI don\u2019t want to enable transphobic language or behavior, especially within the gaming space,\u201d she said of the issue. \u201cI\u2019ll do my best to be and do better.\u201d Jaclyn Hill hits back at cheating rumors Who\u2019s involved? Jaclyn Hill is a huge name in the YouTube beauty scene, boasting her own line of cosmetics and even collaborations with such brands as Morphe. What\u2019s the tea? While Hill has come under fire in the past, it seems that some critics are more recently spreading rumors about her relationship with her new boyfriend, who some claim she started seeing before she\u2019d broken things off with her ex-husband. The beauty guru addressed these claims during a video on September 25, claiming that she\u2019d only gotten together with her current man after she and her ex-husband had parted ways months prior. (Topic begins at 15:03) \u201cWhen I got on camera and announced that I was getting a divorce, my ex-husband and I had been separated completely, and he had been moved out of the house for over six months at that point,\u201d she explained, also clarifying that they ex-couple had faked spending New Years together to avoid further drama. \u201cI understand why the time frame looked messy online,\u201d she added. \u201cBut no. There was no cheating.\u201d Whew! This week was quite a doozy to say the least; from one of Twitch\u2019s biggest stars finally ending her beef with YouTube\u2019s top content creator, to Charli D\u2019Amelio\u2019s title of TikTok Queen being threatened, it seems that just about anything can happen. Do you think critics should \u201cmove on\u201d from the Alinity drama? Would Jeffree Star really hire someone to be his boyfriend?
