Jeffree Star is known for his abrasive personality online. And that is usually on display when he is feuding with other creators. But the controversial YouTuber-turned-TikToker may have pushed away even more fans with his most recent comments about the LGBTQ+ community.
In a recent TikTok Live, the beauty guru took time to speak about the killing of right-wing political commentator Charlie Kirk, who was shot while speaking at a university in Utah. Clips of the Live made their way around X earlier this week. And in the video, Star made disparaging remarks about nonbinary people and defended Kirk's historically hateful rhetoric against the transgender community.
The video starts out with Star saying that Kirk "encouraged everyone to speak about their beliefs, whether he believed them or not." When a viewer asked if he identified as a Republican, he responded, "No, I'm a person. Because I'm standing up for someone who passed away, I'm now being called names in the chat." This seemed to incense Star, who addressed a follower who said they were unfollowing. "Thank god, if you believe in they/thems, you're a part of the problem," he said during the livestream. "If you're stupid enough to go against science, please unfollow me. Be whoever you want to be, but there's science and there's facts. You can pretend in your head you're a cat... you're still only A or B." He continued, "Yes, I am a grown-ass man that wears makeup, I will always be a male, my name is Jeffree... All of these grown men going into women's bathroom wearing wigs, you should all be in prison forever."

This is not the type of person you expect to defend Charlie Kirk.
No, but he knows what is actually is and that is better than most. Be what you want to be, just don’t try to force me to go along.
Didn’t see that coming.
“made disparaging remarks” = spoke the truth.
