I deleted everything. I’m done. For those who wanted me to “address it” I did. I’m sure u can find it reposted somewhere. But I don’t want this energy in my life or on my timeline. I’m too sensitive for this shit and I’m done.

Jeffree Star:
- *New* past racist pictures of the controversial Beauty Guru Jeffree Star surfaced: 1) a picture of him posing next to someone wearing a confederate flag 2) pictures of him glorifying self-harm 3) receipts on him previously creating in 2001 to 2004 a nazi makeup line called "lipstick nazi" which promo pics featured swastikas.
- Following this 140th racist scandal, Jeffree Star issued an apology on Twittter, saying he was "17" at the time and wanted to "fit" into the art scene back then.
- Says the term "lipstick nazi" came from a Seinfeld joke where one character was nicknamed "soup nazi" for being a crazy cook. Denies ever owning another makeup brand than Jeffree Star Cosmetics.
- Now, he knows better and grew up and owns an all-race inclusive successful makeup brand.
- Following this scandal, J* lost 200k subs on Instagram and is now at 15.8M followers.
Shane Dawson:
- At the same time, other problematic male Beauty Guru Shane Dawson addressed the rumors about his participation in last year's takedown of James Charles by Tati Westbrook.
- Says in a deleted tweet that he had nothing to do with it though he knew Tati was going to make the video.
- Also states that he's done with the toxic Beauty world (even if he re-launched his palette collection "Controversy" with Jeffree Star 24 hours before).
- Shane Dawson was previously exposed in 2014 for the racist comedy skits he did on YouTube back in 2012 when he was 23. In them, Shane did a blackface and cosplayed as a black woman to perform for what he called a "ghetto prank". He completed the racist "skit" by dropping the n-word and joking about chickens and booty dances.
- He apologized in 2014 after getting exposed, saying "I’m sorry for anyone offended by my old videos. I have no hate in my heart and I hope you can forgive me."
- Shane overcame this controversy and has now accumulated 23M followers on YouTube.
- Of course, both are getting roasted even though J* supporters are defending him en masse and calling for Rihanna and others to be boycotted over wearing a "Boy" hat once (because it's the same as what J* did).
I can’t believe there are lgbtq people that continue to support racist nazi Jeffree Star. #Exposeracists #jeffreestarisoverparty pic.twitter.com/Cm65ozJRJd

For everyone who hasn't gotten the chance to read what Shane Dawson said before he deleted it. He wants to be all shady but can't stand when people treat him like how he knew James Charles was being treated. So there's that. pic.twitter.com/7FrM99fluD

Ppl be like “yeah Jeffree Star has said the n word multiple times, started a brand called lipstick nazi, posed with confederate flags, worked with a known pedo, called Jackie Aina a gorilla, and threatened to pour acid on a black person’s skin to lighten it, BUT he’s GROWING✨”
