Jeffree Star addresses criticism after old photos resurface online
Makeup mogul and YouTuber Jeffree Star has addressed public outrage after receiving backlash from fans over controversial older photos of himself, as well as “offensive” comments he’d made in the past.
Star became the subject of scrutiny in early June after old photos surfaced of the beauty guru posing by a fan who’d draped a Confederate flag around their shoulders in a Visalia, CA diner.
Many found the pictures distasteful and accused Star of racist behavior — claims that he addressed in a lengthy Twitter post on June 18.
