Jeffree Jeffree Jeffree you got some explaining to do what is up everybody
this is Chris from the rewired soul where we talk about the problem but
focus on the solution if you're new to my channel what I'd like to do is take a
look at the YouTube community all the drama that's going on and take this mess
and turn it into a message and today's message is don't be a hypocrite and
throw stones and glass houses so if any of that stuff make sure you subscribe
and ring that notification about so for all of you loyal rewired soldiers out
there who have been subscribed to me but watching the videos I'm making like a
question you might have is while I being so hard on Jeffery star all right and
then circle back a little bit later in this video after we talk about these new
tweets the just resurfaced and kind of explaining this a little bit further but
here's the things this actually came up on Twitter the other day and the issue
that I'm having is Jeffree star constantly taking this moral high ground
but it all started with this James Charles situation where he posted a tweet and
deleted it which blows my mind like for somebody with millions of followers like
there's no such thing as a deleted tweet alright
like if Jeffree Star wants to not post things that he shouldn't post dude needs to
start practicing mindfulness and and take a pause button right
I've been practicing mindfulness for a while now it's still difficult for me
but just know if you get to that massive following there's no such thing as a
deleted tweet but in a tweet that he deleted he he talked about James Charles
being a predator and saying that his boyfriend mate banned James tolls from
the house okay that's why I take issue because I was
having a conversation with somebody on Twitter about this and this moral
high-ground and they brought up the fact that I have a troubled past
right and that's true I'm a recovering drug addict an alcoholic I'll be having
celebrating seven years sober next month on June 23rd right
and I'll often talk about situations in the YouTube community and things like
that and the difference is the difference is and I hope this is the
message I'm conveying to people is not taking this high ground but a place of
empathy right like I'll call out behaviors I'll call out behaviors all
day long and talk about what I've learned why this is wrong the influence
that is having on all of the people watching these situations go down and
everything like that but I never forget where I came from and that's what it
seems like Jeffree star's doing and he's a wasting thousands of tweets to try to
erase his own history that's where I take issue all right so what what
happened was basically some new tweets resurfaced I'll put them up on the
screen right here as well I may go over some of them but I'll link the Twitter
thread down below but basically here's what just resurfaced now before I get
into this like especially with the false allegations in the Photoshop tweets or
DMS from people were making about James Charles I wanted to make sure so Jeff
Lee star as we all know he's deleted thousands of tweets so from this thread
I actually just did some research and here's a thing no matter how many tweets
that you delete the replies are still gonna be there so what I did do was I
went through this thread and I verified the replies existed and based on the
context of the replies you can see what happened to what transpired okay so even
though Jeffrey's I tried to delete this they're still there because the replies
are there all right so I'm going to read the gist of this story so this comes
from Twitter users sauce foot so it starts out with was Jeff least are
involved in grooming an underaged boy a thread so dozens of tweets from 2012
have emerged between Jeffree star and Jamie Ryan D a former teen model once
known for their large tumblr following Jamie has since transitioned and I
believe now uses they them pronouns according to their famous birthdays page
Jamie was born January 21st 1995 about a month after they turned 17
Jeffery who was 27 at the time began tweeting them regularly on
February 19th 2012 Jeffrey tweeted I ever crossed with an accent a week later
he tweeted um Jimmy Ryan D has the cutest accent and jaemin Ryan D well I
do like your accent leading one to assume Jamie may have been his hafir
mentioned crush so it goes on and there's some tweets that I have up on
the screen here and then it says Jamieson stay activated their twitter
account which makes it tricky to establish context the fans tweeted their
reactions to the 17 and 27 year olds exchange and it goes on to say Geoff
Lee's friend Johnny boy XO a popular trans youtuber back then made several
attempts to groom Jamie showing them in praise and tweeting I'm starting a
countdown until you turn 18 while Jamie was 16 according to her
model mayhem profile Johnny boy EXO was 26 at the time so when jolly bully EXO
tweeted Jimmy Ryan D I'm gonna come to London when you're 18 and we're gonna do
illegal things Jeffree star responded am I invited - which Johnny boy EXO told him
to bring his rhinestone dildo so from one of the last exchanges after Jamie
turned 18 one can piece together some context through fans quoting and
retweeting and these are the ones that I looked up and verified so it says there
are dozens more tweets suggesting the to regularly Skype and FaceTime please
spread this the story ought to be told and examined as one of predation with
that said please also respect Jamie's privacy so yeah in those tweets in those
tweets Geoffrey star who was 27 at the time was
talking to Jamie Riley who was 17 at the time
okay so this is where my issue comes in now obviously that's wrong okay now
something that Geoffrey star told Kim star which was talked about on one of
the recent episodes of jelmer drama work was when asked about his tweets that we
service Jeffree star said he was just joking
alright so is that okay is that okay to do like
one of the problems is is that again Jeffrey star keeps taking this moral
high ground and I I legitimately felt sorry for a Jeffrey star last year when
the whole drama get in happened because all the stuff for those of you don't
know or don't remember what kicked off everything with Manny anyway and
laura-leigh and Gabriel Zamora and the key to Dragon was there a pretty much
bullying Jeffrey star okay and it's it's really easy for a lot
of people to play fit they're like oh my god I didn't do anything like like we
all know like Jeffrey start talks trash and I don't care I really don't care
that Jeffrey star is who Jeffrey star is but but he was just flourishing in the
fact that Laura Lee and many anyway just started losing hundreds of thousands of
subscribers and we're getting all this stuff and he was talking about karma and
everything like that and just relishing in it the the phrase that we talked
about the other day was shot in Florida alright taking pleasure in somebody
else's pain okay but the problem is is that Jeffrey star keeps acting like he's
better than everybody and doesn't have a troubled past now here's a thing a lot
of people a lot of people who are fans of jeffree star are going to say this
they're gonna say this but Jeffrey star has grown and he's changed yes I
absolutely agree but Jeff Lee star is a man in his 30s now and he's pulling out
a 19 year old kid like he hasn't even given James Charles the opportunity to
learn and grow he is publicly publicly putting on blast
James Charles a 19 year old kid and that's where empathy comes in like
that's why I am against cancer culture nobody should be judged by the worst
moments in their life all right I don't believe Jeffrey star should be
either I don't think Jeffrey star should be canceled well I'm what I'm here to
talk about is the hypocrisy and the lack of empathy and forgetting where you came
from and then trying to cover it up by deleting a bunch of tweets and here's
the thing I like I think the other reason it bothers me so much is Jeffrey
star was a mentor to James Charles like I have a ten-year-old son
okay a mentor is kind of like a parent that you never had or a parent in the
industry or the niche that you're trying to grow in right but like my
ten-year-old son what helps me monitor like my temper and react when my kid
screws up which he inevitably does right is whenever I'm about to blow up on him
I pause real quick and I'm like okay what was I doing what was my mindset
when I was his age right and it helps me calm down that doesn't mean I don't call
him out on his behaviors but I don't freak out right and this is an ongoing
pattern with Jeffery star where he's not thinking about where he came from
Jeffie star is not thinking about the countless katniss times that people have
forgiven him that people have co-signed is BS he has forgotten how many people
have stood by his side and given him a second chance
hello Shane Dawson did an entire doc you series with Jeffery star to like Jeffrey
star talk about his troubled past and what he was going through and everything
like that like Jeffrey star was given that platform so to see him do this as
James tall's is absolutely ridiculous and it's just I feel like a lot of
people don't talk about this because they're afraid of Jeffrey star and or
his fans which is one of the reasons why I taught see Westbrook was originally
afraid to speak up about James Charles so with that being said it's something
that I will keep touching on is there is such a double standard there is such a
double standard in this situation about who Jeffrey star is allowed to be the
standard people are holding James Charles - again gents all screwed up
right but like it blows my mind watching a community just tear down James Charles
but then talk about Jeffrey and say oh well Jeffrey star has grown and learn
from there well like are you even gonna give this kid a chance
are you going to give him a chance like James Charles has been radios
silent for the most part since his apology video okay
like and people aren't even sticking around to see if he grows if he changes
if he learns from this thing like I I work with drug addicts and alcoholics
and I tell them all the time do not get your expectations too high for people to
forgive you it's going to take time you're gonna have to prove them with
your actions rather than words alright but on the other hand too when I
talk to the parents I'm like listen they're not gonna change overnight you
need to give them a minute like give them one minute to even attempt to
change but I can't help but empathize with James Charles because he's got to
feel so alone right now because of all the people who have turned their back on
him but everybody is sitting over here like
Geoffrey star is this amazing mother Teresa of the beauty community and it
just it doesn't make sense to me so if you're watching this and you stuck
around this this long like please take a look at mob mentality cancel culture why
we're giving other people what some people second chances other people not
especially when you look at the graph like that the gravity of the situation
are like what James Charles actually did and what he's being accused of you know
like I just talked about this in my Logan Paul video if Logan Paul a guy who
filmed a dead body can get Redemption and still have his career like can we
give Jim Charles another chance okay anyways let me know your thoughts on
