NikkieTutorials is addressing Jeffree Star‘s latest scandal.

The 26-year-old YouTuber opened up in a review of Jeffree‘s controversial new Cremated palette in a video posted on Wednesday (May 20), which has faced criticism for being death-themed amid the global health crisis.

“Even though I have to agree with the people that the timing…the timing,” she said.

“So many people are passing away because of the coronavirus, and we need to take a distance from people, having a burial and that ceremony is a very touchy subject at the moment. I have to agree with people saying that the timing is a little…urgh. With that comes – and I’m not defending anyone – after I taped my appearance on Ellen in January, I actually visited Jeffree,” she revealed.

“Jeffree showed me this palette and told me it was geared for April. He had been working on it for so long. That tells you that creating makeup isn’t done in two weeks. It isn’t done in two months…it takes months upon months of finding the right balance of the formula, it’s like a whole sort of journey, but then the virus happened. So I don’t want to get into it too, too far, but the thing is though…it wouldn’t have mattered if he came out with this right now, or in a couple of months. We’re going to have to deal with the virus for the next couple of years, probably…the theme is cremated, so it would have hurt people either way.”

Jeffree also spoke about the scandal on the same day.

Watch Nikkie‘s review…

YouTube star NikkieTutorials is continuing to speak out about the negative experience she had while appearing on The Ellen DeGeneres Show back in January.

The 26-year-old beauty guru was on the talk show to open up about coming out as transgender and she previously has said that Ellen never greeted her before the interview and that the host was “cold” and “distant.”

Nikkie opened up more during an interview with &C Magazine (via Pop Crave).

“Maybe I’m being naive, but I expected them to welcome me with confetti… ‘Welcome to the Ellen DeGeneres Show!’ But instead I got greeted by an angry intern, who was a bit overworked. I expected a Disney show, but I got a Teletubbies After Dark,” Nikkie said. “Every guest at Ellen had a private toilet, but I didn’t. I couldn’t even use the closest toilet to me, because it was reserved for the Jonas Brothers… They were allowed, I wasn’t, I thought. Even though looking back, my interview got 8 million views, while theirs only got 2 million. Ha!”

Nikkie added, “For people who didn’t know me, it was a good summary of my story. But the people who did know me expected more. ‘I should’ve just went on Eva Jinek,’ I thought to myself.”

She says that after being on the show, she thought to herself, “Don’t meet your idols.”

NikkieTutorials, otherwise known as Nikkie de Jager, is opening up about her experience on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

During her appearance back in January, the 25-year-old YouTube guru spoke with Ellen about her coming out after being blackmailed, and the overwhelming amount of positive support she has received.

While recently appearing on early-evening Dutch talk show De Wereld Draait Door, NikkieTutorials spoke frankly about her time on The Ellen Degeneres Show and revealed it wasn’t the most positive.

“Well let’s just say there’s a huge difference between this show and Ellen and I’m saying that in favour of this show.” Nikkie then explained herself further: “It’s nice that you came and said ‘Hi’ before the show started. She didn’t.”

Nikkie added: “Ellen is just such a different world. It functions differently.” When asked if Ellen was “More distant, colder?”, Nikkie replied: “A little”. She then continued to state: “It was a huge honour to be on that stage with Ellen but it wasn’t as nice as I thought it would be.”

NikkieTutorials is undergoing some “makeup therapy.”

The popular beauty YouTuber uploaded a video called “Responding To My Coming Out” on Tuesday (January 28) reflecting on her video coming out as transgender after being threatened to be exposed by a blackmailer.

In the video, Nikkie discussed what she experienced after uploading the video, her first experiences stepping out and the public’s response to her coming out. She also discussed speaking to Ellen DeGeneres, and all of the media offers she received.

She also revealed that she knows the identity of her blackmailer, and contemplating destroying his life by outing him.

“Nobody should get away with blackmailing, but when I look at my situation…that person has been punished. I don’t want to lower myself to his level. I’m creating my own level. I’m better than that…they now know that I know exactly who it is, and I think they’re gonna have a little bit of that fear,” she said.

During her appearance, Nikkie spoke about her coming out after being blackmailed, and the overwhelming amount of positive support she has received from her mom, her fiancé, and her fans.

She also explained that despite being blackmailed, she is thankful she can live authentically and hopefully inspire other transgender people to do the same.

Later on, Ellen surprised Nikkie with a $10,000 donation in her name to the Trevor Project, benefiting LGBTQ+ youth, courtesy of Shutterfly.

Nikkie De Jager, who is known to fans on YouTube as NikkieTutorials, has come out to the world as transgender.

“Filming this video scary, but it’s so liberating and freeing,” she said at the beginning of the video. “I’ve been wanting to share this side of myself to all of you for so long but I could never figure out the timing.”

The 25-year-old makeup artist and beauty vlogger revealed that she was “born in the wrong body” and started identifying as a girl at age six.

When she was 14, Nikkie started hormones and used growth stoppers to prevent her from becoming taller. When she was 19 and while she was already making YouTube videos, Nikkie fully transitioned.

“Yes I am transgender,” she said. “But at the end of the day I am me.”

Nikkie revealed that she didn’t tell her fiance Dylan Drossaers her truth at first, but he knows now.

“Dylan and I, we clicked. And he didn’t know. He knows now. Dylan knows about my past, but I wish I told him sooner. Everything felt so magical, so good, that I was afraid to lose him if I were to tell my full story. At the point where I told him my full story, of course he was shocked, but that is a private matter that we’re dealing with and that I’m so proud of that we’re able to deal with,” she said.

Nikkie says the reason why she has come out on YouTube is because she was being blackmailed. “I am free, and today I get to be me,” she said.
