2020 has come with its own set of celebrity scandals, world pandemics and missteps, but
now Jeffree Star is the latest celeb to join the club during these unsure times.
Hey you guys, it’s Sussan Mourad here with Clevver News here to spill the tea about Jeffree
Star’s latest scandal.
It’s been quite the past couple of weeks for Jeffree following his announcement that
he is “not friends” with fellow YouTube star, Tati Westbrook.
Now, Jeffree fans know that last year he took his stance on the situation and unfollowed
Tati on both Twitter and Instagram.
During a recent episode of the podcast “Mom’s Basement” with fellow YouTuber FaZe Banks,
he dished up all the Tati drama that was surrounding him.
He said QUOTE, "It's so f*cked because everyone wants to make out – 'you ruined James Charles'
career' – no, Tati did and uploaded a 40 minute video about him and she should have
never uploaded that.
But she did.
And for some reason James Charles thinks that me and Shane [Dawson] orchestrated the whole
thing, like we f*cking care."
And after revealing that James has gone through “enough mental abuse” he also shared the
status of him and Tati’s relationship saying, “Are we enemies?
No, but we are not friends anymore."
But before the podcast ended he revealed there was more to the story than what viewers had
seen on his YouTube channel during the infamous Tati versus James fight.
He said, "If James Charles is ever listening, call me or sit down with me and I will show
you what was shown to me and I will tell you a year later, exactly what happened behind
the scenes."
Boy, do we wish we could be a fly on the wall during THAT conversation.
But it didn’t take long before the internet moved onto yet another drama involving Jeffree,
however; this one just so happens to revolve around his makeup collection.
Following the release of his new eyeshadow palette on social media, some fans of Jeffree
weren’t too thrilled when he revealed that the name of the new palette was called, “Cremated.”
Being that we are in the middle of a world-wide pandemic, many fans online found the palette
to be offensive as people began to point out that the death toll in the US alone is rising
everyday.
Being cremated just hits a little too close to home right now.
Gabi DeMartino wrote, “I’m a huge fan of his makeup ... but even if it were fall
(esp now) it’s really triggering and disrespectful to name eyeshadows “embalmed... grave digger...
life insurance... last respects... burial gown.. goodbye.”
sucks bc I love, the colors but the palette would trigger me everyday.”
Gabi went on to clarify, saying “this isn’t hate.
just such a shitty time period for what would always be a morbid concept.”
As well as “there’s quite a handful of us w death anxiety in the world.
i like his stuff im sorry to disagree with this one” before adding in the thread “ill
probably get attacked but oh well i only speak like this when it’s due”
And someone else said, “Um wtf people are being CREMATED because the mortuaries have
run out of space.
Bad timing.
This could have waited until thousands aren't dying daily.smfh.
Another said, “I’m so petrified of death.
I can’t look at cemeteries or anything of death relation.
I have horrible anxiety and depression and it’s a trigger.
I love you.”
One person even called out the lack of range within the palette itself saying, “There
are like three dark shades in the palette so don't worry about it lmao.”
But one fan put on their detective hat and went to work and uncovered that Jeffree named
the palette years ago before any of this had happened with one fan writing, “People complaining
about the name of the new @JeffreeStar collection, it's not that deep.
Yes we're in a pandemic but he named it forever ago and can't change packaging in a moment's
notice.
#cremated #crematedpalette.”
In a video he posted over the weekend, Jeffree gave the inside scoop on the palette and even
revealed it was supposed to be released back in April but was delayed due to the current
state
of the world.
In the same video Jeffree also added, "Cremated is like my iconic catchphrase, I'm deceased.
Cremated, as well as being, of course, very dark and gothic, it is also a term that I
like to use, you know when you're really blown away by something, you’re mesmerized and
it’s so sickening?
Me and my friends like to say, b***h, I'm cremated."
Not only does the palette have an eerie name, but Cremated does stay cohesive with the brand
and even features eyeshadow shades which include: Eulogy, Hearse, Obituary, Angel of Death,
Embalmed, Gravedigger and The Morgue,
In making the launch announcement Jeffree said “The #Cremated Collection is all about
tapping into your dark desires and exploring another side of yourself.”
Over the weekend.
Jeffree took to his Instagram to help celebrate the launch with his fans and touched on the
negative comments regarding the palette saying, “Cremated is number two trending right now
on all of YouTube and, bitch, I’m a little shook.
There’s a lot of people talking about it, it’s trending on Twitter and, bitch, it
might be the talk of the town right now.
There’s a lot of positives, a few negatives, because everyone wants to have their opinion,
but, baby, let’s talk about Cremated.”
He continued by saying he’d “never play it safe” and added, “On a real level,
you guys, my own father was cremated.
My two dogs that passed away last year were cremated.
So nothing ever comes from a negative place in my life.”
He continued, “So if you take it that way, that’s how you articulate things but, bitch,
not me.”
And there you have it.
The moral of the story is to Jeffree he doesn’t think he wasn’t coming from a negative place
with this collection - just hard work.
But I want to know what you guys think.
