jeffree star follows up on his controversial remarks about people using they/them pronouns – telling us he has no problem with non-binary people, but he accuses them of going too far with labels.
We caught up with the makeup guru on Thursday at LAX, where he backed up comments that got a lot of people fired up. He’s fully aware of the controversy brewing, but insists it had to be said…and, even more, he says he’s the perfect messenger.
For those who don’t know, Jeffree recently got candid about people using gender neutral pronouns they…call it “dumb” and some “bull ***” came up with when Americans got bored during the pandemic.
While some saw it as a blunt and hateful statement…Jeffree thinks people completely missed his point. He tells us he acknowledges that non-binary people exist and respects anyone’s labels, but doesn’t think he should be criticized for speaking his mind.
FYI – Jeffree was dragged online after his comments went viral, but for what it’s worth he also says he’s gotten loads of people thanking him for speaking out. He says he’s taking advantage of the current backlash against the so-called “cancel culture.”
