YOUR FAVORITE MTV SHOWS ARE ON PARAMOUNT+

Oh Good, This Is Happening

Beauty influencer (and yak farmer) Jeffree Star has announced that he and Shane Dawson are about to drop a new YouTube video.

Word has it that disgraced beauty influencer Jeffree Star will soon drop a YouTube video with disgraced beauty influencer Shane Dawson this Friday, so that’s something to look forward to. Jeffree Star tweeted the news yesterday, stating: “Brand new video will be up THIS FRIDAY! [Shane Dawson] and I react to finding our makeup collab in Nordstrom Rack… we went on the hunt w cameras! ..and I answer all of your questions.”

All of my questions Jeffree? All of them?

Back in 2019 (were we ever so young?), Star and Dawson were an extremely big deal in the beauty influencing world. The 'Shane x Jeffree Conspiracy Collection' by Jeffree Star Cosmetics apparently sold out of their flagship eyeshadow palette in minutes, which, according to Insider, earned them both millions of dollars.

But it all came crashing down in 2020, when both were revealed to have made flagrantly racist posts in the past. In Shane’s case, those included videos showing the YouTuber practicing Blackface, using the ‘N’ word and trafficking in racist stereotypes. Jeffree has also been called out for past racist behaviour, including sharing racist comments. Oh, and if all of that wasn’t enough, they’ve both made inappropriate comments about underage children; and about a year ago, Jeffree Star faced serious abuse allegations. Two peas in a pod!

But look, it doesn’t look like they’ll be talking about any of that. Instead they will be reacting to finding their makeup collab on sale in a department store, for some reason. The reason probably being that at the peak of his fame, Star filmed a video of himself walking through T.J Maxx (an American discount store known for selling cheap, outdated makeup) and having a go at the makeup brands on offer. “I’m so scared,” he declares at the start of the video. “Today, we’re going to TJ Maxx.”

Since then, Star’s products have reportedly been spotted in the discount store. So you know. It looks like all this man’s chickens are coming home to roost. Oh wait, it’s yaks that he has, isn’t it?

Anyway, both Star and Dawson are reportedly both in the process of leaving LA for a more laid-back lifestyle. Jeffree Star is apparently already spending a good chunk of time at his Yak farm in Wyoming, while Shane Dawson and his partner Ryland Adams reportedly bought a farm in Colorado. We wish these farms all the best.
