Jeffrey Lynn Steininger Jr. (Jeffree Star) is 34 years old. In his 34 years of life, he has proven time and time again that he is a giant sack of shit.
At age 19 (2004), Jeffree chased black women and yelled at them, calling them racial slurs. https://youtu.be/6DbXafcp_ZA
At age 21 (2006) Jeffree said he was going to use battery acid to “ligten [a black woman’s] skin tone.” https://dai.ly/x4l67gr
In 2007, Jeffree released a song called “We Want Cunt”, in which he used the n word, among other problematic and insensitive lyrics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sHrAWmKcj4
At age 23 (2008) he called the problematic Tila Tequila a “whore” during an interview. This is the first (recorded) statement of many that suggests a hatred towards women who express themselves freely. https://laist.com/2008/03/10/jeffree_star_interview.php
In 2009, at Warped Tour, Jeffree told a group of fans that they “look like they have autism”, calling a fan a “Down Syndrome ass bitch” and threatened to kill another group of people. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9ni9_AweQ
Also in 2009, Jeffree fat-shamed fans. https://www.instagram.com/daavaaad/p/BIE4QWnD5ci/
In a 2010 interview, Jeffree admitted to tasing a man who poured water on him. In the same interview, he called P!nk a “fucking dirty lesbian”, cited that he “doesn’t hang out with gay people really”, that “gay guys are like women, they’re fucking annoying”, and admitted to punching a girl and laughing about it.
Also in 2010, when Jeffree was 24 and Justin Beiber was 16, he made predatory comments about the singer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JHxsVrN63Q&feature=youtu.be (timestamp 6:55)
In 2012, Jeffree retweeted a comment about people with developmental disabilities, laughing at the “r” slur and never apologized for his actions. https://www.reddit.com/r/BeautyGuruChatter/comments/chtnu6/jeffree_stars_tweet_has_surfaced_the_internet/
In 2013, Dahvie Vanity of BOTDF was accused of sexually assaulting minors. Jeffree later tweeted that he saw Dahvie taking the girls into his hotel rooms and that he was aware it was illegal. A few years later, and Jeffree and Dahvie seem to be friends again. https://medium.com/cuepoint/warped-behavior-sexual-violence-on-tour-8ad218d50bc9
Dahvie, still friends with Jeffree as of April 2019 (with no evidence to prove that they had a falling out in the last year) was accused of sexually assaulting 21 women and children. Jeffree never expressed disgust or disdain for Dahvie’s actions. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/dahvie-vanity-botdf-sexual-assault_n_5c82afb8e4b0d9361627ca1f
In 2014, Jeffree posted a picture to Instagram of him wearing a jacket with the Nazi Eagle on it. Of course, he attempted to defend himself. https://www.instagram.com/p/w2_GSoTUeq/
For years prior to 2016, Jeffree was friends with Kat von D, noted antisemite and antivaxxer.
In 2016, a fan of Jeffree’s and a fellow beauty Youtuber went to a con to meet Jeffree and try his SkinFrost highlighter collection. The fan, RockyRoadkill, emailed customer service about an issue with the product before making an honest review online. Jeffree slandered the Youtuber on his social media. This is only one of many times Jeffree has attacked someone without reason for an opinion on his products.

Also in 2016, Jeffree got in a fight with youtuber MakeupShayla, which resulted in him calling her a “cunt,” and saying that he was going to “beat her into the ground.” After the convention, he took to Twitter and made transphobic comments about Shayla, saying she “looks and sounds more like a man than [I] do.” He also called her a “broke fucking rat.” https://bglh-marketplace.com/2016/05/jeffree-star-threatens-to-beat-up-beauty-guru-makeupshayla/
Again in 2016, Jeffree tweeted to drummer Tai Wright, telling him to kill himself. https://thisisnotyourscene.wordpress.com/2016/07/21/jeffree-star-tells-ex-slaves-drummer-to-commit-suicide/
In 2017, Jackie Aina retaliated against Jeffree for being racist and abusive. He also called her a rat (he has only called BWOC rats). https://lisaalamode.com/2017/06/17/cosmetics-mogul-jeffree-star-calls-jackie-aina-irrelevant-denounces-treatment-black-women/ and https://www.revelist.com/beauty-news-/jeffree-star-jackie-aina/8146/back-to-the-present-star-in-a-nowdeleted-tweet-called-aina-an-irrelevant-rat/6
Also in 2017, Jeffree exposed abuse that fellow Youtuber NikkieTutorials experienced with Too Faced makeup, and sent out self-congratulatory tweets about his actions. Note that he did not ask permission before exposing the situation. https://www.allure.com/story/jeffree-star-calls-out-jerrod-blandino
Again in 2017, Jeffree called KVD a “dumb whore” on Shane Dawson’s podcast. While KVD and Shane Dawson are also both problematic, out primary focus is on Jeffree himself.
In 2018, Jeffree called Jackie Aina a “gorilla”, a “he”, and made transphobic comments about her. https://collegecandy.com/2018/09/26/jeffree-star-jackie-aina-daved-scissorhands-munoz-racism-texts-receipts/
Also in 2018, Jeffree parked in a handicapped parking space at a Jack in the Box in Malibu. https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Cobm7VIBXTo/maxresdefault.jpg&imgrefurl=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v%3DCobm7VIBXTo&docid=ATQ1w5Fhk3o37M&tbnid=7Qc48tbo8cDz3M:&vet=1&w=1280&h=720&source=sh/x/im
In October 2018, Jeffree had the audacity to wear cornrows in his hair after being a racist POS. He defended himself on Twitter, of course, and trivialized the plights of POC being unable to wear their natural hair or cornrows in jobs.
