Jeffree Star is doing the unthinkable and most amazing thing to make days a little brighter
in the midst of the Coronavirus outbreak.
What’s up guys, it’s Emile Ennis Jr. here with Clevver News, and don’t worry, Clevver
isn’t going anywhere!
We are still going to be delivering you all the celebrity news that you need to know,
we are just going to be working from home to do our part in preventing the spread of
Coronavirus.
Now, let’s dig into the Jeffree Star news, shall we?
With the Coronavirus spreading at rapid numbers throughout the states and multiple states
on lockdown, Jeffree Star is taking matters into his own hands and making days brighter
for those in need.
Over the weekend, Jeffree took to Twitter to reveal he gave his delivery driver a pretty
hefty tip as a thank you for being out and delivering in the middle of this outbreak.
He wrote “I appreciate every single person who is willing or able to deliver food during
this horrible time…
I just tipped my driver $1,000 and said a huge THANK YOU.”
From there, Jeffree realized it would be a day of giving when he asked his fans to leave
their Cash App user names so he could send them money during these hard times.
He said, “I really want to help more people in need today!
Drop your cash app below with hashtag #JeffreeStarApproved - I'm going to help as many people as I can
until I hit the limit.”
It didn’t take long before many got some high dollar surprises from Jeffree.
In one of his first responses, he wrote that he sent someone $250.
But when it came time to stop, he revealed it wasn’t because he ran out of money, but
rather he reached the cash limit for the day.
And when that time came, Jeffree tweeted at Cash App to urge them to up his limit so that
he could help more of his fans writing “Hi @CashApp, I'd love it if you could verify
my account so I can raise the daily limit of $ I can SEND.
Just hit the limit after sending to 20 + people!
Thank you so much!
#JeffreeStarApproved.”
His fans on Twitter were impressed by his selfless actions with one user writing in
“This is why i LOVE and SUPPORT @JeffreeStar because he is actually helping people out
there in need instead of singing a stupid cover with celebrities that help NO ONE.
Like come on what the fuck is the cover going to do cure the virus?
Be like Jeffree Star #JeffreeStarApproved.”
Another wrote, “While other CEO's are laying off their employees, Jeffree is paying his
staff AND giving money to his customers and followers in a time of need.
WE STAN THE STAR.”
While many were singing his praise, others called out Jeffree for lying or faulting him
for trying to solve a widespread disease with money.
One user wrote “His daily limit? of how much he can give?
lies...he can paypal, venmo, buy crap online and have it shipped for people...this guy
is a liar.”
Another said, “Giving money to fans nor creating videos will "cure the virus".
What he's doing is awesome, but you don't have to belittle other people to praise him.
Keeping your mental health strong is important as well and sharing videos and content that
brings positivity is also helpful.”
We know that Twitter can definitely be a place for people to speak their mind, but they weren’t
just coming for Jeffree.
People were criticizing James Charles too after he tweeted , “being quarantined is
so boring wow should I start an onlyfans”
And of course this simple tweet triggered some people like this person who said, “You
know you could always take a page out of @JeffreeStar's book and help out instead you know give money
instead of take it away from survival sexworkers idk just a thought”
But there were plenty of fans saying yes bring the content as well, as well as those who
were just utterly confused.
Now back to Jeffree, he wasn’t done giving away money.
He tweeted yesterday saying, “I’m going to give away $30,000 to 1 random person who
retweets this tweet AND follows Twitter Philanthropist @Pulte and Me!!
(If you don’t follow us, we can’t DM you the money) Will show proof!
Much love”
People immediately began to retweet and follow and quite a few people revealed they were
doing giveaways too, but even though this tweet gained a lot of traction because of
potential free money, there was an earlier tweet that really had fans shook.
No it wasn’t this tweet...
...we have to go back a little further to this tweet about James Charles.
Jeffree quote tweeted Charli D’Amelio’s tweet that says, “holy moly donut shop #1
and #3 trending on youtube @jamescharles” Her tweet also has screenshots of both of
their videos on the trending page.
So Jeffree responded to that saying, “Ummmm you look SO gorgeous!!!
James killed it per usual.
100”
Now fans were confused by this because of the drama that James and Jeffree had in 2019.
One fan said, “2020 really is weird”
Someone else said, “I had to move my bang to read that again”
And another person pointed this saying, “Just cause there’s been drama in the past doesn’t
mean there has to be negativity forever.
Legends supporting legends”
And even Charli D’Amelio actually tweeted to Jeffree saying thank you!
However, not everyone was so quick to forget what went down last year when Jeffree spoke
out about James.
In fact, some people are dragging Jeffree on Twitter like this person who said, “Man,
#JeffreeStar really doesn't have any ethics.
You gonna try to assassinate @jamescharles reputation, go quiet when people
ask for proof, NEVER apologize publicly, and then pull this?
You are so gross.”
But again people are still defending Jeffree like this fan who said, “People are really
throwing shade at @JeffreeStar right now over giving away money, and for giving a simple
and civil complement to @jamescharles?
Are we serious right now?
There's more important things to worry about.
Move along, there ain't no tea.”
But after all this, people just want to know if they are cool again or if Jeffree’s tweet
was just a one off thing.
And speaking of people now it’s time to hear YOUR thoughts at home.
