Jeffree Star tries to distract from Kim Kardashian controversy

Beauty vlogger Jeffree Star wants people to start worrying about things a little more important than makeup — especially after Kim Kardashian addressed racist comments he made in the past.

“Every news and media outlet in the world has emailed and called my office all day asking me for a Kim. K quote,” he griped on Twitter on Tuesday. “Please f—k off. Talking about makeup has turned into a blood bath since yesterday. WAKE UP. THERE ARE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS 2 WORRY ABOUT.”

He added, “We have a literal PIECE OF S—T for a ‘President’ who is embarrassing our entire country and you want [to] worry about Jeffree Star. #cantrelate … Because with how dark and depressing America is right now, I don’t think I’m important. Stop wasting time on gossip and focus on reality.”

On Monday, Kardashian, 36, angered fans when she defended Star, 31. The vlogger has been the subject of criticism after social media proof of him using racial slurs surfaced in June. He later apologized in a video.

“Guys, I see you being so petty and bringing up things in [Star’s] past, but he has also apologized for those things,” Kardashian said on Snapchat on Monday. “I get [that] it’s a serious deal if you say racial things, but I do believe in people changing, and people that apologize, I will give them the benefit of the doubt and accept that people change and move on.”

However, she backpedaled the next day and acknowledged her own privilege.

“I just feel a bit naive and I do want to really apologize for me feeling like I had the right to say, ‘Get over it,’ in a situation that involves racism,” she said on Snapchat. “I don’t really feel like I have the right to speak on that and I really, really am sorry and I just, from the bottom of my heart, I was and I have always been about positivity. … I really am sorry and I just want to move forward and be positive.”

Though Star encouraged his followers to discuss matters more important than gossip, he was back to shilling cosmetics within an hour of his most recent political tweet.
