Kat Von D Publicly Ends Her Relationship With Jeffree Star, Leads To Twitter War

Tattoo artist Kat Von D and beauty guru Jeffree Star were once friends and business partners, but Tuesday Von D publicly ended the relationship with a social media post.

In a lengthy explanation, Von D said she can no longer rationalize Star’s “inappropriate behavior” which included the promotion of drug use, racism and bullying, according to Von D.

She will be pulling the Liquid Lipstick “Jeffree” from her make up line in the process of “disassociating” herself from Star.

She told fans she will further explain the cause of the statement in a later video.

After years of making excuses for, and rationalizing Jeffree’s inappropriate behavior (including, promoting drug use, racism, and bullying) I can no longer hold my tongue after recent events. I know that over the years, many of you were introduced to Jeffree through me, and regardless if you chose to continue to follow him or not, I just would like to disassociate myself from him and his brand from this point on. I plan on posting a video explanation as to why I felt compelled to make such a statement. But for the time being, I simply want to apologize to anybody and everybody who has ever had to deal with any of his negativity. And yes, with a heavy heart, I will be pulling the shade “Jeffree” from my collection. Sending extra love to everyone out there. ❤️

Star responded on Twitter saying the two hadn’t spoken recently, to which Von D tweeted a correction she threatened to prove him wrong with screenshots. Von D said that the motivation for the post was Star owning her money, but Star denied the allegations.
