Jeffree Star "apologizes" for past racism

People will accuse you of something but won't ever let you explain the REALITY AND THE TRUTH. They want to believe you're wrong.

You can't prove a negative. People don't want that. I KNOW who I am and what I stand for. No one can take away my happiness.

I know some of you want me to drag these smaller YouTubers using my name for views... Let me them rot and be miserable. They're sad humans.

Because old videos from TEN years ago are being brought up again, it's turning into a circus online...CAN I SPILL THE TEA RIGHT NOW??

An OLD VIDEO from 10 years ago from https://t.co/dmUu9eLmbc has surfaced and it's me and my gay-Latino friend filming a FAKE conversation.

Who was Sharolaid and he did blackface numerous times and even worked with Brandon Rogers who still makes money off a black persona voice.

We filmed a PRETEND conversation where we say some really shocking, disgusting and childish things. It was for shock value.

It was WRONG and I already addressed this years and years ago on Myspace. It was put to rest but new people want to drag it up...

If ANYONE was offended by my words, I am sorry you ever had to hear me talk like that. It does not represent WHO I AM.

The other guy in the video was a drag queen who used race, sex and drugs as a way to be SHOCKING and YouTube deleted his account years ago

I'm sorry to ANY of my followers, customers or fans for offending you. I made a fucked up mistake to think it was ok to act like that.

I've been a huge supporter in pushing woman of color in the beauty world and for having more brands recognize other skin tones.

— Jeffree Star (@JeffreeStar) July 4, 2016

I MADE A HUGE MISTAKE. I was a stupid 19 year old who thought it was cool to be "shocking" BUT: there was no hate in my heart.

— Jeffree Star (@JeffreeStar) July 4, 2016

I think people forget: I'm a human being. I fucked up big time and I can always admit when I'm wrong. I apologized 10 years ago and:

— Jeffree Star (@JeffreeStar) July 4, 2016

I will not let one incident from my past ruin the positive and important messages I've always stood by.

What do you think, ONTD? Do you believe him even after he threatened Shayla with physical violence and said she looked like a man which was transphobic despite him being gnc?
