Jeffree Star Cosmetics responded with a statement of their own.
“We are shocked and extremely saddened by the decision of our former retail partner Morphe Brushes on parting ways with our brand and Jeffree,” they said. “Over the past five years we’ve accomplished amazing things together and released iconic products. We are proud of everything we’ve accomplished with them.”
For those who missed it, the announcement followed Tati Westbrook‘s tell-all video in which she accused Jeffree and Shane Dawson of “coercing and manipulating” her into turning on fellow beauty vlogger James Charles. Back in May 2019, Tati posted a previous video called “Bye Sisters,” where she accused the makeup mogul of lying, manipulating and being a disrespectful person after he supported one of her rival vitamin companies.
On July 19, Jeffree finally addressed the drama and issued an apology to James. He also defended Shane, but did not mention Tati by name throughout the entire 10-minute clip titled “Doing What’s Right.” After his video hit the web, some fans took to social media and slammed Jeffree for being “manipulative and conniving” during his apology video. Some even accused him of using the Black Lives Matter movement as a way to distract “from his drama.”
