Kat Von D fight with Jeffree Star - KAT VON D EXPOSED JEFFREE STAR

Hey guys cat, I just want to post this video about what I posted earlier about Geoffrey Star and my recent decision to distance myself, actually completely disassociate myself from him and his makeup line and I think it's very harsh and I can understand why there would be a reaction not only from my own fans but also from Geoffrey's fans and in no way is this video or my post intended to criticize anyone. I'm simply telling the truth. I'm keeping the facts and I think it's important for me to let my fans and followers know where I stand on this because the way Geoffrey chooses to live his life and treat other people is not something I personally agree with. agree, so you know being associated with someone who does things.

For him to do that really makes me nervous because I don't want my fans or followers to think that that is a good example of how we should treat each other and how we should treat the people that are in our lives or around us and I have witnessed first hand of a lot of things that I know that you guys already know, I mean the way he treats not only his fans but also the brands and I think that anyone who bullies him a little bit is like a very easy trigger person for him will simply attack.

I remember, you know, seeing him ranting and actually ordering his followers to

t attacking this other, much smaller brand that made lip glosses and not even lipsticks because of some human error and labels. I remember thinking like the brand accidentally labeled something with carmine and they claimed it was vegan and he just went with this brand, you know, the injustice of that human error that was completely forgivable and I remember thinking when you're not even vegan. I mean, I know you like to put that word on your packaging so you can bring the vegan box, but you totally eat animal products and not only that, but you like promoting Mac and you like tons of other L'Oreal like lines of Most major makeup that I test on animals are famous for not being cruelty free, so why would you sit there and not only verbally attack but simply bully a brand that shouldn't even be?

Not even being on your radar, I never really understood it, but anyway, I'd like to rewind to a very important detail in all of this: if you ask Jeffery how he made his makeup line, I. I'm sure the story will be something about how he created himself and all these things that I think is maybe how he wants it. You know, it was his makeup approach, but I can actually tell you how his light makeup

ted. I'm telling you this because I was there and it started in my living room and when Jeffrey was there, you know, I don't know, I think he wasn't doing anything and he came over, he was hanging out, he wasn't doing anything. when it comes to his career and he's bitching or complaining about some other brand that was doing really well at the time and I just told him you know, I've always been the person that said hey, why don't you have? your own makeup line, you know, I think you're, I think Jeffrey was creative, I think he's different and I think he has his own style and aesthetic and um, and I was always the size of Manta, you know this aspect of Jeffrey that I don't even I don't even know he actually exists or not, but like the fact that he was an outsider, yeah, that he's different and you know, giving the followers of him a sense of belonging in a world where you know they might not work.

I don't know where people tend to go. turning down something that is so different and I always thought it was something that he cherished and would strive for, but I don't necessarily think that's the case anymore, so I think that was a big part of why I wanted to help him a lot in that one. so, but I did everything I could that I even connected him with a factory that at that time was producing my eternal with the lipstick formula and many of my eye shadows at that time and Judy was the name of the lady, you know the boss there and basically got Jeffrey a meeting there to see if he could start his own makeup line and you know, even Judy told me that after meeting with Jeffrey, you know the only reason he had that meeting because I vouched for him and there have been more times where I have vouched for Jeffrey and hoping that he would like you to do the right thing and you know, and in some cases, it hasn't really worked out. that way, I'm not looking for credit, you know, I don't need to like, you know, let me know every time I'm on Instagram, but at least tell the truth, you know, and only because I called you. on social media about being a bully doesn't mean you know the point that you can post a tweet saying, hey, you know, Kat Von D has never supported me on my makeup line, honestly, Jeffrey, if it weren't for me, I would.

Don't worry anymore now, I'm talking about your makeup line and I think maybe you would do it differently, but you definitely wouldn't do it in the capacity that it happens in and I think it's important to understand that because I think it's very easy to paint someone knowing his pathological forms, anything, you know he tends to exaggerate many things and over the limit in many things and that is something that I have learned over the years spending a lot of time... Once with him, so the reason The reason I mention this is because when I was helping him with the creative process of making his own makeup line, we got to a point where I said, Hey, it looks like I can do this. help you with the mood boards I made.

I just can't do your artwork for you. You know, that's something I keep really unique to my makeup line. Know. I think my own team would be very disappointed if I started drawing for someone else. makeup line, so I was like, hey, look, I'm not going to draw your makeup line art, but I have a guy that's really cool and I've used him for tons of projects. I mean, he's like a lettering and logo specialist. he's a hardworking guy from Detroit, his name is BJ Betts, so, you know, if you watch any of my old videos, like my news of the week or my cat's beauty chat, like all those lyrics that BJ did , and if you scroll down and in the credits you will see his name.

I always give him credit for the art and lyrics of all the openings. That's because it's important. I think, don't you know, we worked really hard to create something and it really sucks when someone just steals that and then just blows it up and doesn't give them any credit, a little payment, so what happened is I introduced Jeffrey to BJ and then Vijay drew his logos and then Jeffrey went ahead with them and they are the logos that you see now on all the caps of all your lipsticks and he never paid for BJ and BJ called him and basically Jeffrey blocked his phone and finally BJ called from a phone landed and Jeffrey answered and then when he realized it was BJ asking for payment he hung up on him and blocked that number and that's exactly what he does, so by the time I found out about that, which was last Saturday, I texted Jeffrey saying, Hey Jeffrey, can you explain to me why I did BJ and he basically told me?

I shut down and or left and then he blocked my number and that's how he does it and they need a week of blocks and Instagram and they block me on Twitter like I followed him anyway just because I'm sorry. I know a lot of people love to follow it for me, like it's obnoxious to constantly promote it, like what fancy car are you leasing or leasing or whatever. I just think you know how to try to promote this lifestyle that, like you know your valley. It is determined by: you know the brand of bag you use, you know how big your house is or how many cars you drive.

I mean, you know again that's something I don't want to be in the same sentence with a "have." I've spent my entire existence trying to send such an opposite message, so why would I want to be associated with that? Anyway, half of this drawing here to show you what Vijay had originally drawn for Jeffrey. I need space, lots of love, I hope you guys I can see from my phone, but you can see different variations of the star and then if you want to zoom in on this one in particular, where you see it was a J and then an S and then you see this little saying circulate around. this side here this was the preliminary sketch for the logo that Jeffrey uses now and as you can see, before it was a J and an s and BJ had said this is what BJ wrote, you know, Jeffrey emphasizes that he wanted to have a Gucci or Chanel . sorry um, so I told him we could flip the s and possibly mirror the J as well.

I circled around the bottom to show him what I wanted to do with the zoom, so that's what he did, he didn't need me after that, he already had The masterpiece. already and that's when he stopped calling him and obviously refused to pay him, so I think as far as being an ethical company, it's very wrong with Jefferies. I think he needs to pay BJ and, um, I think that's the kind of behavior done by corporations that don't have a heart, you know I see that happen all the time, I know that happened to me, you know where it's like that, you know to people who aren't interested in you as an artist or an interesting use of the dollar sign. or just how much they can take advantage of you, that's not cool, man.

I think you know you can't sit there and post all these videos of yourself like, get ready with me and my Rolls Royce and then you can't like pay. a guy who worked really hard for you, what kind of messages are sent to anyone and everyone. I think it's the wrong message and I think as long as you know you have the option to do the right thing, why not do it? I think it was definitely a big line in the sand that Geoffrey Drew with me, you know, I think instead of just blocking, we could have talked about it and now you know people are like, why did you tag him in your photo?

You posted and it was like, Magna Wow, of course I would have tagged him, but when someone blocks you can't do that, you know, I think a lot of people were also offended by the photo I chose, do you know what that photo was like? that was taken from Geoffrey when I met him who was like a Jeffrey that I knew, you know, me in the Jeffrey that he is now is like this monster this big as attention seeking fame desiring money driven monster that doesn't want forgiveness and doesn't is to say that he doesn't have the opportunity to change I think everyone does I'm a good example of that I think you know I didn't used to be like I don't have as much as I have an Al, but I think that takes time and practice, but you have to practice those things, you have to unlearn the bad things, so I don't know, I think online bowling, you know, it's easy, you know, you can go ahead and pick all of these. other people who might be intimidated and wouldn't respond at all, but Jeffrey, I'm not afraid of you and besides, if someone knew him, he bothered you the way you bother people, I'd put up with it for you too, etc.

Like, I'm asking you nicely, Jeffery, and I'm sure you see this because you love it when someone talks about you. All I ask is that you do the right thing and pay, pay, BJ. I mean, it's like you know that's the minimum. What could you do after all this and as for a message I would like to send to my fans and followers, other beauty brand YouTubers or anyone else who has had to experience the insensitivity and negativity that Jeffrey has spewed. in your own way I just want to apologize because if I regret anything, as always, I regret putting Jeffery in touch with that factory um, I regret being a part of helping someone become so self-absorbed um when I probably could have, you know. , at least talk.

I recovered much sooner and you know, I sent a lot of love to Jeffrey. I hope one day I can figure it out and I'll be here if he ever wants to make peace with me, but I definitely won't hold my breath for it. so yeah, lastly I just want to tell any of my fans and followers that I don't want anyone going after Jeffery. I don't want him to attack or start wars. I really don't have time nor do I care. start a war like that, you know, if Jeff wants to go crazy on Snapchat, you know, Tweaker likes to rant on Snapchat about me or whatever he thinks of me, so be it, I don't need to hear about it, I don't care, um.

Hopefully that doesn't happen and in the end I think about anything we can send positive vibes to him and hopefully we can do something in his life that isn't just continually hurting the people around him and again, I'm so sorry. Any and all who have been in its crossfire know that it is not a fun place to be and, above all, I guess that's it. I just want to send you all more extra love today. I think there are tons of more important things out there. That's what we should worry about and that's it, bye guys.
