Laura lee has been forced to apologize after over 200 thousand people unsubscribed from
her channel.
apparently its all becase laura tweeted some pretty remarks back in 2012, and I’m
going to tell you what she said, here for you on IO.
Welcome back to inform overload, I’m charlotte dobre.
Tell us in the comments below if these tweets have made you unsubscribe from laura lee’s
channel.

Laura Lee is an extremely popular beauty youtuber.
She used her fame to start her own makeup line, laura lee los angeles.
At the time of this recording, she has 4.7 million youtube subscribers.
But that number seems to be drastically declining, and quickly.
She actually hit 5 milion subscribers just two weeks ago, which she celebrated by taking
this photo.
At the time of this recording she’s lost almost 300 thousand subs just in the last
two weeks alone.
The youtube beauty community is up in flames, and Laura Lee is the latest caught in the
fire.
It all started after shane dawson posted his documentary about jeffree star.
Jeffree star has gotten in to trouble before over similar reasons, which he has apologised
for many times.
Shane interviewed jeffree star about this in his documentary series.
After the documentary went live, the beauty youtuber community got in on the drama.
Gabriel Zamora tweeted a picture of him with Laura Lee, Nikita Dragon and Manny MUA, with
the caption, is bitter because without him we’re doing better.
Manny thought the tweet was clearly directed at jeffree star, and then gabrial responded
with a tweet that said, imagine stanning a , I could never.
Well of course, twitter lost its mind, and uncovered a tweet from 2012 where Gabriel
used the N word.
Gabriel then apologised both to his fans and jeffree star with a statement.
But twitter was on a rampage, as people began to uncover some really offensive tweets made
by laura lee in 2012.
Like this tweet that said ‘tip for all black people, if you pull your pants up, you can
run from the police faster.
This is extremely insensitive because right around the time that laura made these tweets
was when Trayvon Martin was and.
In a response to all the backlash, laura lee deactivated her twitter.
Her excuse was that she was a small town girl from Alabama with little cultural education.
In fact, most of these beauty youtubers used the same excuse, they blamed their comments
on being young and using hateful words as jokes with friends.
She also posted a teary apology to youtube, where she says she can barely look at herself.
Laura said that shes also planning to get involved with foundations that focus on educating
the importance of equality and social justice.
But it might be too late.
The fact that laura has lost so many subscribers is going to affect how much money she makes.
Laura has lost the equivalent of 25 thousand dollars a year over this scandal.
Meanwhile, jeffree star seems extremely amused, he posted a snapchat video that features him
laughing and saying, that a lot more shady stuff is going to come out.
When people try to him, they end up ending themselves.
