Though if you weren’t paying attention, you might not have realized. Because none of Star’s supposed “best friends” seem to have wished him a happy birthday.
In fact, many people have hypothesized that the two BFF bedrocks of Team Jeffree — Manny Gutierrez and Laura Lee — are no longer speaking to Star, widely regarded as beauty YouTube’s most controversial personality. In fact, it seems like Jeffree is only still friends with ONE of his YouTube besties.
Let’s sip some tea and examine the evidence.
My subtweet sense is tingling!
Laura has also been subtweeting “shady” people who are “fake friends,” which Manny, Nikita Dragun, Jaclyn Hill AND Gabriel Zamora have all been favoriting, replying to, and retweeting.
SEEMS LIKE SOMETHING MAY BE UP.
Tati and Jeffree did a couple of videos together back in June, and according to one another’s Snapchats and IG Stories, continue to hang out socially. Tati was roundly dragged by her fans for working with Star, who they viewed as a bully — and was quite at odds with Tati’s “positivity first” persona.
Still, it’s clear that Tati has decided to stick with Star despite the controversy.
“Just did a social media PURGE and unfollowed / blocked all the fake pieces of shit in the beauty community,” he wrote. “Surround yourself with good energy at all times, life isn’t worth wasting time on people who pretend to like you… It feels so good to mentally start a new chapter and remember what your goals are, what’s important… get back to your center.”
The people he appeared to have unfollowed at that point included former friends Jaclyn Hill, Nikita Dragun, and Gabriel Zamora.
That’s pretty unusual for ALL parties involved.
These three were friends, but that friendship was also really good for ALL of their professional brands. Suddenly, they’re no longer shooting together, they’re not hanging out, they’re not being cute on social media anymore — so it’s easy to see why fans think that something is going on.
If I didn’t know what I was looking for because I’m a creep, I’d have no idea that Star was at Laura’s launch event. For an influencer of Jeffree’s stature, this is REALLY unusual.
“I do not have a statement regarding fake news. This purely fake news — me and Manny are perfectly great together. We are great friends, he can hang out with whoever he wants to hang out with. I do not own Manny, and he is free to do what he wants. That’s his friendship, not mine.”
