B
Hi.
A
Jeffree star baby.
B
Thank you for having me.
A
Dude, this has been a long time coming.
B
It really has.
A
I'm so happy you're here.
B
Thank you for having me.
A
Me? Who the would have known that Montana would bring us together?
B
No. So we're literally in Bozeman, Montana.
A
We're backstage in a locker room.
B
We are. We're in a locker room. The glory holes are behind me. We are meeting for the first time today. We've been talking all year.
A
Yes.
B
And life finally brought us together. So thank you for having me.
A
And it's crazy because we did have a mutual friend who just passed away. Daniel. And he loved you saw so much dude.
B
He told me that you met him and I like and hung out with him for so long and I never met you.
A
So I never.
B
Crazy to me.
A
I never got to meet Daniel.
B
Why?
A
Were literally online friends for like 10 years.
B
Oh my God. I thought you guys partied in Vegas back in the day as well.
A
Nope, nope, nope. Just we grew up around the same circle. He had the same friends. I did. Like we never got to actually meet but we literally talked all the time online. Like it was crazy. I just loved that. I loved him, dude. He was just such a good soul.
B
One of a kind.
A
Yeah.
B
Honestly.
A
So I just feel like this was like Daniel's doing Possibly, like, pushing us together.
B
That's beautiful.
A
I have seen so many podcasts of you, and I feel like.
B
Did you notice how I was, like, silent for a long time, and then I just. It was like, you know what? It's time to talk. What?
A
What. What brought that on?
B
Like, I think during 2020 and, like, during the pandemic, like, I had such a crazy trajectory, and then the pandemic and so much online drama, like, exploded.
A
Yeah.
B
So I moved to Wyoming. I went to therapy. I really worked on myself, and I was like, you know what? I want to share that journey. Not just all the dramatic, chaotic, you know, and just makeup stuff only. I wanted to share how I healed.
A
I love that.
B
Let people see, like, who I am now, you know? So I started.
A
The podcast is amazing.
B
And thank you. And a lot of males fixate on sex every time I'm on their podcast. We all know I'm never gonna fully kiss and tell.
A
I love that about you because I'm the same way. I was a hooker in Vegas, period. So I'm never going to kiss and tell the celebrities that fucking.
B
What do you get when you put two escorts together?
A
Jeffrey and Bunny.
B
So a lot of people don't know that I used to be the queen of Craigslist in la.
A
Yes.
B
I used to make so much money during the MySpace era.
A
Oh, yeah, for sure, then. So when you say queen of Craigslist, you mean, like, putting, like, ads on there and stuff for, like, to do?
B
Yeah. And I. And I recently found some old ads in my old account I love. Because I am writing an autobiography, finally.
A
That's br. Because Craigslist and Backpage man, you literally.
B
Like, oh, I missed back page.
A
You were literally risking your life to be on those. I did Eros. I was an Eros girl. So I literally would post my ads and then, you know, screen them. And then sometimes I would work for the services in Vegas. Stuff like that.
B
But and networking. We're in big cities, so it's like, people think, like, escort. They think we're, like, at the street corner with no teeth, with their thumb out.
A
There's levels to this shit.
B
Levels.
A
I try to explain that to people all the time. People don't get it.
B
And then you start networking and meeting people. So I'm this broke kid. I moved out at 17. I was like, fuck you to my mother.
A
Let's rewind that.
B
Really? Let's rewind it. Then we'll get to the head and the bottoming.
A
So I want to rewind it back because you remind Me so much of myself. We have been through a lot of shit. We mask it with dirty jokes.
B
And humor.
A
And humor. Very dark humor. And, you know, going through the stuff that you've gone through, I don't. I'm pretty sure, you know, half of my following probably does know your story, but I'm sure the other half doesn't. And I think that that really is an epic part of your journey because it's showing, overcoming.
B
Yes. So we're survivors.
A
Yeah, exactly. Yes, for sure. So growing up, you grew up in Orange County, California.
B
So I'm from Huntington Beach, 714. And it was really boring growing up. Like, it was just. Everyone was, like, surfing and skating, skating. And I just never really felt like I fit in. I was very punk rock. I had. I was the first person to have, like, pink hair dye at my school. And I just tried to break all the barriers without really knowing it. I was just like, well, I'm gonna be me, and I'm gonna be myself. And for some reason, I got over the part where you care what other.
A
People think at an early age.
B
At an early age, I think because my childhood was so chaotic, my parents were drunk my whole life and that. So people don't know this. Well, some people do, but I've never tried alcohol. Right. And I think people sometimes have a hard time believing that because, you know, we all. We always used to post pictures with stuff, right? So there's photos of me with, like, a whiskey bottle. I'm like, yeah, it's all for show sponsorships, too. Literally all for show. So, you know, people always dig things out of the ashes. But I've never tried alcohol. I never will. My dad died when I was 5, so he drank himself to death. He killed himself. And he was just really miserable.
A
And did he commit suicide or did he die from cirrhosis?
B
It's like a. It's like a tricky line, Right, but suicide, Right? Yeah. So he was, like, on the brink and was like, okay, I'm finally done. So the last time I remember seeing him, his skin was yellow. His eyebrows were falling out. He looked horrific. And he grabbed me by the arm, and I was five and a half. And he was like, please don't ever drink. Like, it's ruined our family. And that was my last memory of my dad.
A
That was his blessing to you?
B
Yeah, it was wild. Yeah. So my mom did that to me when she spiraled and obviously got worse.
A
Right.
B
So she would drink, recycle the beer cans to get more alcohol, and just had a string of really annoying boyfriends. No one ever, like, abusive or crazy, but just always fighting. She never fell in love again. She was literally in love with my dad. And it didn't work out because he couldn't stop drinking. That was what ruined the marriage.
A
What? When you're five years old and your father passes away, how are you feeling? Like, do you remember any?
B
I do. I remember my mom telling me, like, a week or two after I saw him, she took me to the same. And she goes, hey. Like, she tried to explain to me, like, my dad died. And she always likes to say this. I literally, like, blinked, immediately put all the trauma away and was like, okay, can we get some more ice cream?
A
So you knew, just growing up in chaos, that it was better to just push it down instead of react. Yes, it had.
B
Which was horrible for me later when all the, like, emotions and traumas and demons were coming out and I'm in high school, my whole body's the cutting board.
A
Yeah.
B
I'm like, fully. And like a, you know, secret one. Not like I want attention. Like, you know, it's.
A
I feel like back in the day, mental health was not talked. No one talked about it, like, how it is.
B
Yeah. And in cookie cutter Orange county, no one was talking about feelings.
A
Right.
B
It's like, get the over it. You know, everyone's. All the husbands are cheating on the wives. All the, you know, everyone's getting beat. All these crazy things are happening, and it's just swept under the rug. And it's like the Real Housewives of Orange County.
A
Absolutely. Yeah, I know. It really is. The west coast is a different beast. People don't understand that unless you've grown up on the west coast. It's completely different way of thinking and way of living as like, you know, Montana or Wyoming.
B
So I didn't untrain this behavior until probably like six years ago.
A
When you were cutting, was that your way of just kind of like, relieving the pain? And did I know?
B
She didn't know for years. And then I slipped up and got comfortable and she saw it for the first time.
A
Was it on your arms? Is that why?
B
Oh, it was everywhere. But I would wear, like, heavy clothes all the time. It would be 90 degrees. But I was gothic and my style was very punk rock. So no one ever questioned it. Yeah, you know, it would be like I would. I had photography class and I would go in the dark room and cut my legs and then come back out. And no one ever knew, like, crazy stuff like that.
A
You're just hurting so Bad.
B
Yeah. So I felt like it helped me feel a little bit because I felt so numb and, like, dead inside. But I never wanted to kill myself.
A
Right.
B
I never had thoughts.
A
Well, because your dad passed away that way.
B
Yeah.
A
So possibly that was like.
B
So I never had the thoughts of, like, I want to end my life. But I was doing it to just feel something.
A
Right. I understand that.
B
And then it became like an addiction.
A
Well, you get addicted to the pain because it's the only time that you actually.
B
It was really fucked up is I was also addicted to the. Watching it heal. Wow. It was like.
A
Steve.
B
Yeah. Hi. Nice to meet you.
A
Don't start joking.
B
No, yeah, it was. It was really like. Yeah, it was that serious.
A
That's so much trauma to go through at such a young age. When did you start cutting?
B
I would say, like, ninth grade. And then I stopped when I graduated high school and I broke away. But my mom did catch me. So we're in this little apartment, and she always made me do chores. Single mother, only child, and I'm a Scorpio. It's a lot there.
A
I think you might have a lot of Capricorn cap and sag. I want to do your birth chart. Have you done your birth chart? What is it?
B
Stunning? I'll show you later.
A
Okay. He's like, I'm not showing anybody online.
B
God, that's stunning. So she caught me when I was doing the dishes. She always made me do chores and clean the bathroom and have manners and la la. And I was a straight A student. She said, you can look however you want. Do whatever you want. Dye your hair pink, red, black, do extensions. I shaved off my eyebrows in 10th grade. No one was doing that at all. It was like horror and shock.
A
Right. And like a pioneer of sorts.
B
It was crazy. And she caught me one day when I was doing the dishes and I wasn't wearing long sleeves, and she came home from work early. And when you've been doing it for so long. So she caught me and she saw the side of the arm. I'll never forget it.
A
What did she say?
B
I mean, you know, most parents don't fully know how to articulate it because they immediately go to, he wants to die. And it's like, you know. And she is a fucking train wreck. So you are bitch.
A
You're so is my mom. Trust me, I get it.
B
Yeah. So it was rough and we never gelled. So I'm 17 and a half. I graduate high school early. I'm out. I'm going to la. And by then I had been going to a lot of shows. I was 17 with the fake ID, going to the Key Club, the Whiskey on Sunday too.
A
I was at the Rio.
B
And yeah, so much makeup. No one really knew how old I like, they couldn't tell if I was 16 or 30.
A
You know, let's dial it back real quick before you left home because. Didn't. What? Wasn't one of your first sexual experiences at 12?
B
Yeah.
A
I mean, how do you even know to have sex next at 12?
B
Oh, my God. I don't know. It just naturally happened. And I think boys are really curious, but men don't like to talk about this stuff. Right. So when you're in, like ninth, this is eighth grade for me.
A
Right.
B
So let's dial it back to eighth grade.
A
Right.
B
Me and this guy Jeff and the football team and a foreign exchange.
A
Not another Jeff.
B
Yeah. So the first guy I ever blew had the same name as me.
A
Wow.
B
Life. So me.
A
So you were already feeling that you were into boys?
B
Yeah. So eighth grade was the first experience. Fifth grade was when I was like, oh, like, okay, girls are attractive, but I'm more attracted to men.
A
Gotcha.
B
And yes, I've slept with both. I love everyone, but I prefer men. Yeah, but I love everyone.
A
I loved boys and makeup. Boy George was my first crush.
B
Hate it. Love Boy George. But I am not attracted to men in makeup.
A
Really?
B
Don't like femininity.
A
Wow. I like a man. I love that.
B
So if someone looked like me, it's the biggest turn off, right?
A
Well, yeah, I wouldn't want to have somebody who looked like me either. So I get it.
B
But like, I'm not into glam boys. I'm not into femininity. But I love a bad. Like, you're hot, I love you. But I don't like a guy in makeup.
A
Right. But you know what? My dad was a musician and he had long black hair and he played in the band and he had, you know, so I've always been attracted to the. The emo boys, you know, the Chris motionless and.
B
Yep. He was just in Wyoming. Yeah.
A
Like that. So.
B
Oh, I know. I can't. We're talking about that later. We.
A
We can't bleep his name out.
B
No eyeliner, like, nice body tattoos, whatever.
A
Sports guys. Right? Or.
B
No, nowadays. But in the war tour days, it was like country boys and like Scene Boys, the MySpace, you know?
A
Yeah.
B
Oh, my God, so many flashbacks. I'm in heat. We're in eighth grade.
A
I'm ready to swallow fifth of a. Yeah, okay. Fifth grade you were already attracted to boys.
B
And then eighth grade and I already looked different. Where in fifth grade was the first time I was called a gaylord and a oh yeah.
A
Really?
B
Oh absolutely. It was this era of 90s where like the guys wanted to be like gangster and wear baggy flannel and these huge Tommy Hill figures.
A
All I dated was gangsters and I.
B
Was more like little button up boy scout, like tight cut military haircuts. My grand My grandparents raised me while my mom was getting sober, right? So she got sober when I was in high school finally.
A
Oh good.
B
Thank God. And she's been sober since.
A
Yay mom.
B
Congratulations to her. 23 years. Let's go.
A

So I've got to be honest, I've never been a huge pajama person because most of them either feel stiff, too hot, or they twist up while I'm sleeping.
B
Doing.
A
I just want something soft, breathable, and cute enough to wear around the house without feeling sloppy. Then I tried skims. It was game over. The first time I felt the fabric, I literally said, oh, wow, this is different. It's buttery, soft, stretchy, and it moves with you like it was made for your body. It's that perfect mix of comfort and confidence. What I love most is how the skim sleep set makes me feel cozy but still put together. It's my go to for lounging, winding down at night, or just relaxing around the house and around the holidays. Pajamas are kind of a tradition for us. Everyone gets a new pair. So you already know.

You and Jeff hook up and it turned into a threesome, right?
B
Yeah. So my first, like, real experience with a guy was with two guys.
A
Okay, gotcha.
B
And while I've been writing my book, I've been told by the guy that's.
A
Writing with me, which, by the way, I love Neil Strauss.
B
He's a genius.
A
Don't around like love.
B
So he definitely let me analyze myself very deeply with this. And he's like, everything you do without you knowing it is extreme. And I was like, huh? And that hit me hard. In a good way. Yeah. But it's just like everything I do, like, oh, I bought some land, now it's the biggest yak ranch in America and I'm in seven restaurants. I can't just like, let things be right.
A
Well, you came from nothing and I'm literally, I'm a money hoarder. Literally, I have so much around. Like, it's crazy. Once you. When you come from nothing, you want.
B
Everything, and you're never both turned dirt into diamonds, literally.
A
And you're never happy. Like, it's. Once you reach one goal, it's the next goal. It's the next goal.
B
It's the next goal. Okay, good. You understand.
A
Yeah, no, totally. I have a lot of Capricorn in me though, too, so I'm like. I never give up. I'm literally just always going. So moving on. After your first threesome, take me on that journey. You're 17. You are leaving home. You're going.
B
I literally got a U haul. My. And I always had older friends. Of course. I hate. I hated immature little kids. So someone. Same.
A
I was the same way.
B
That's it. So they rented me a U haul. We pulled up, I said, bye, Mom. Like, I'm out.
A
And she just let you go?
B
Yeah.
A
Yeah.
B
I mean, what was she gonna do, right? But it was good. It was really good. But I had to grow up quick.
A
Right.
B
So.
A
Especially on the streets of Hollywood. Yes.
B
So my birthday's in November. So then I turn. School's over in June, July. So I'm doing, like, little freelance makeup jobs. Barely making it by. And I'm sleeping on someone's couch. She works at Mac makeup. She's like, you're 18 now. Like, you need to work at Mac. Your makeup so fierce. Like, hello. And she was way older than me, so she got me the in. And obviously I sold myself. My first job. So my first job ever was at Mac Cosmetics. And now I'm their competitor.
A
Yeah. Literally. You went in there, took all their tips and tricks.
B
I'm a Mac alumni. I have. I have Ruby Wu lipstick tattooed on my arm. I'm a Mac alumni forever. Like, and I still wear their. Their powder. I love it.
A
I could totally picture being at Mac, too.
B
Ah.
A
Highest seller, I bet.
B
But then it already started. Everyone already, you know, the jealousy, the craziness, the. Then I learned the industry was really caddy. It wasn't about the artistry. It was all very competitive. And LA was, like, very cutthroat. And back then, there wasn't a million makeup artists like there is now.
A
Right.
B
There was no technology, no phone. No one could even process that. We barely just started having phones. Right, Right. So there's.
A
I had beepers and.
B
Yeah.
A
When I look down, I'm looking at my list of notes that I have, so.
B
And what we're just saying, you were.
A
Talking about Mac Hybrid and Squirrel you were talking about Mac, baby. And everybody was a hater.
B
We were freelancing, we were going to different locations and I was always had the top sales. It was really fun. And as you meet people in the store, as customers, you start networking. So from day one, my online journey. And by the way, I was already online at this point.
A
At this point, right.
B
I was already on these websites that people don't even know exist. Like Hot or Not Dot com.
A
Dude, I loved Hot or Not, Live.
B
Journal and all these things that people don't even know existed. No, that was already.
A
That was our childhood.
B
Yes.
A
Literally.
B
So I would meet people.
A
Is anyone up? Dot com?
B
Is anyone up? Oh, Jesus.
A
All those.
B
Oh my God, yes. And all of a sudden I'm getting clients outside of the store, right? And I'm doing makeup for music videos, lo fi Z list movies that no one's ever heard of. And then I meet this girl and she start. I start working for Hustler. I start doing makeup for porn.
A
Wow.
B
At 19. So I just started networking and just making as much money as I could. But for the lifestyle I knew I was meant for. It wasn't enough, right? So that's when someone introduced me. Of course I did some girls makeup. She was about to go turn a trick, didn't know it. And she's like, oh baby, the guys would love you. Yeah, I'll never forget her saying that line. And I was like, what do you mean? And she's like this and this. And I was like, I can't. Like I didn't even fully understand. A lot of men have fantasies. La la la. So I'm ignorant, bitch. She sold me out. In a good way.
A
She turned you out?
B
Yeah, yeah, she got her 10%.
A
We love that.
B
Oh my God. So I started the journey of hustling and doing sex work, which I haven't really talked about much.
A
I think it's important, but it is to know that I'm so.
B
And I'm never ashamed, ever.
A
I feel like people think that we should be ashamed for what we had to do to survive. And I'm never gonna apologize.
B
Even though I'm at this stage in my life, I sometimes still wish I could do it. It was so.
A
Listen, it was so. It was a different time where like if you wanted to wake up and make X amount of dollars, you could.
B
That was it.
A
On what?
B
Five guys in one day?
A
Dad. Or even a sugar daddy. Have a sugar daddy who just fucking gave.
B
I had a few of the. I even had ones online that I never Met. So people were like, okay, you're on MySpace. How did you. People would send me high powered cameras. I didn't know that existed. And I would teach myself everything. So I was one of the first people to do a vlog.
A
Wow.
B
Me and Paris Hilton were the first ones to ever make money off of being a social media star.
A
Absolutely.
B
I coined Internet. An Internet celebrity.
A
Absolutely. I remember the first time I saw you was MySpace. It was you. Forbidden.
B
Oh, my God. Rest in peace.
A
I know how.
B
And Tila Tequila.
A
Tila Tequila. Where the is.
B
And I'm the last one standing.
A
And normal someone.
B
That's it. Oh, my God.
A
You haven't lost your money.
B
Tequila's crazy.
A
I know.
B
Forbidden. Could never escape not being a star anymore. And God bless her addiction. Alcohol.
A
Yeah.
B
That's literally like in Orange County's culture. I hate it.
A
No, it's so sad because she was such a beautiful woman. But Tila. I don't know what the happened. I think she had an aneurysm and just never got right after that. Right. Isn't.
B
I have no idea.
A
The stuff that she's the Illuminati, but I'm not sure.
B
No, we're not claiming her. Yeah, no, no, no, no. We don't know who that is. She wanted to be a part of the club, right? No, thank you.
A
Oh, yeah. I don't think she made enough money. Right?
B
No.
A
Don't you have to have, like a certain amount of money to get into the Illuminati?
B
I'm not sure.
A
I played the fifth. Everybody thinks my husband and I are in the Illuminati. And I'm like, I'm glad you guys think we have that much money. Like, it's not what it is.
B
Yeah, it's interesting. Yeah. Life's very interesting.
A
Yeah, definitely.
B
So I moved to Wyoming and I escaped a lot of things.
A
Right. So let's dial back, though.
B
You had. Let's dial back.
A
You had started doing sex work and how long did you do sex work for? Did you use that as like a means to an end while you were doing social media? Yeah. Okay.
B
Exactly.
A
Okay.
B
And then, like the Warp tour days really took off. And I started your music.
A
Yes. I loved Beauty Killer.
B
So people forget. Thank you. Oh, my God. That I was obviously a working makeup artist. Artist.
A
Yeah.
B
And then MySpace and social media really exploded for me. Yeah. And I started to all of a sudden have, like, merchandise and I'm number one in Hot Topics. So I stopped, obviously, doing makeup on others.
A
Right.
B
People would hire me back in the day. Like, oh, will you do my wedding? Or, like, come to my daughter's birthday party. Like, those days were very fun.
A
Right.
B
But then I started doing music. Yeah. And I did music as a joke. I rapped on this Hollywood Undead song, a very long.
A
We love Hollywood. My husband just did a feature with them.
B
Oh, that's awesome.
A
They're still around.
B
Yeah.
A
And still kicking ass.
B
That's it.
A
Like, love them.
B
And the first album, I was supposed to be on it and then there was drama and they took me off. But the song was already online for free called Turn off the Lights.
A
Right.
B
And it was massive. I even re recorded it. Interscope Records and whoever at the time took me off. But the song was already massive online.
A
Wow.
B
And it was just very interesting.
A
Isn't it crazy how record labels work? Like, they're just. They're shade. Yeah. They're shady as.
B
Not all, but most.
A
Not all, but pretty much most of them are. They're just so shady. I feel like Hollywood Undead always had some sort of drama going on. They were. They were fighting each other.
B
I know, it was awful.
A
Sorry, guys. I mean, to talk shit, but I'm just saying.
B
No, it was just back in the day. Yeah.
A
Like, they were beefing with each other.
B
Worked it out.
A
Yeah. For sure. But let's talk about your music career. I mean, you had like, Nicki Minaj as a feature and like, dude, so cool.
B
I worked with a lot of really cool people. Yeah, I did music. I always say, like, as a joke, but I actually really enjoyed it. When I did the first rap verse, I freestyled it and wrote it down in 10 minutes. It was very, very crass. And I was like.
A
We just started freestyling right now before the camera started rolling.
B
I even put Forbidden in my first verse. The first. Yeah. Ever. It was. Yeah, it was. That's so funny. The little last line is. And watch me. Forbidden's fat.
A
No, that's so.
B
But it's so good. And she loved it, by the way.
A
I bet. But it's just like.
B
And it was. It was crazy. It was vicious.
A
And I was like, timeless.
B
I want to be like the obscene, like white little Kim. Right. And that was my shtick. And I pen some wild ass.
A
It was actually really good. I loved. What is the song? Plastic Slumber Party.
B
Plastic Surgery, Somber Party Love.
A
That was one of my favorite songs.
B
And that was very like lo fi. Fun electro MySpace music, like Depeche Mode.
A
You had to be like techno.
B
Yeah.
A
It was really cool. Yeah. You had to have been there. It's the best way to describe it.
B
And for some reason, because of my space and I was already popular for being me and my character. You know who this character.
A
Right.
B
It just got big.
A
Why don't you pursue music anymore, though? Because you're so good at it, and it seems like it's a passion.
B
I've been asked this for every time I do an interview.
A
Really.
B
And we have definitely been dabbling for fun.
A
Dude, my husband will help you.
B
It's really. You need it. But listen, I. You never know. There may be a little comeback.
A
Yeah. Do it, please. I think TikTok needs a jeffree. Star Trek. It will go.
B
I even have a new song on my phone.
A
Can we get a little snippet later on the bus? Okay.
B
I'm like, for fun.
A
I. But you're so good at it. Like, I think that's something that you need to do, and it's also a creative outlet for you.
B
It's really cool.
A
Yeah.
B
And now that I'm living this Wyoming life and I'm older and my voice is less faggoty. I can say that number one faggot right here. My voice is deeper.
A
Right.
B
And I really like my voice. And someone came over the other day, and we did. I'm not even kidding. You're gonna die. Beauty. Killer acoustic.
A
What? No.
B
Yo. Yeah. And they're like, would you ever perform this before?
A
Teen kid that grew up with us needs that. Dude. You have no idea.
B
So when I open up my retail store, we're jumping 30 years ahead.
A
Yeah.
B
I just. We're just all over my opening. I had yellow wolf perform.
A
Yeah, we love yellow.
B
We broke the record of biggest event ever in Casper for downtown. It beat even the eclipse from 2018.
A
Yay.
B
And we' been on the moon. But anyway, that's for. That's for the next 10 minutes. It was epic.
A
I love that.
B
So I was like, you know what? Everyone's. You should go perform a song. And I was like, oh, hell no. But then it actually kind of inspired me.
A
Good. I'm proud of you.
B
So you never know what could happen.
A
You need to do that. Do stuff that makes your. Sets your soul on fire.
B
Yes.
A
You know, I feel like you've done so much now for not just you, but for everybody else and to maybe prove points, because from all the trauma that we have come from, we're always proving a point.
B
We are. And I feel like, thank God she knows that.
A
I feel like music for you is therapeutic.
B
It is.
A
And I also feel like it's something that you Enjoy. It is as much as like.
B
Because the makeup brand took off so big.
A
Yeah.
B
I was like. And I really became engrossed. Yeah. I went from living in a one bedroom apartment with a thousand dollars to like, I want to be a CEO of my own company. And I had to literally teach myself everything.
A
But I mean, you did it and look what happened. So you're in. Let me, let me. So when we left off, I just started music. You had just started music when you decided to stop music. And then when did you start getting into makeup?
B
Oh, that's.
A
Was that like coincided with each other?
B
It was also the music was literally like a ten year journey.
A
Right.
B
And I was always independent until the end.
A
You were touring and everything, right?
B
Oh, yeah.
A
You're hopping on the tour bus tonight.
B
Wild. We had tour buses. I was performing and there was no like real label behind me. I had an independent deal through Warner, which means I had no support.
A
And it's like a distribution deal.
B
It was literally a distribution deal. That was it. And it was sick. And we had a. You know, we had a cute little number one dance album and La la. But I never got the success that I wanted.
A
Right.
B
I wanted to be like number one. And then there's other people in the industry coming up at the same time and they chose evil deals. Kesha, Lady Gaga. And they even stole from my. Oh baby. And I'm not blaming them. I'm blaming their stylists on their team. They would go out and they would.
A
Steal Gaga for sure.
B
Girl.
A
Yeah. Like, that's your. That's your whole.
B
It was crazy back in the day.
A
Yeah.
B
I would go and I saw their first show once and people weren't doing season. Throwing up kink on the. On the screen right before she goes on stage.
A
Like your cereal shot, right, girl?
B
The COVID of Plastic surgery. Slumber party. I'm puking pink.
A
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. You have your.
B
I go to this woman's show. She's throwing up pink on the Jumbotron for her first big tour.
A
And there's nothing you can do.
B
Devastated, crying. Fifteen years later, I'm reviewing her concealer. We're cool. Lady Gaga, I love you. But it was her team. And later down the road, when I became signed to similar folks, they all had stories and it was really dark and it's. None of it was her fault. When you're that big, you have such a team behind you and you're just going with and below.
A
No say so. Like literally.
B
Yeah. Right.
A
We never know.
B
But a lot of them Chose horrible deals. You know, people call it selling their soul. I've always kept my soul.
A
Yeah.
B
And I've been offered a lot.
A
I'm looking you in your eyes. You seem to have a soul here. Yeah.
B
It all cracks.
A
He turns into a reptilian.
B
Right now. They wanted me to go full reptile. I didn't want to.
A
Really?
B
Yeah.
A
How does that even work? How does somebody come to you and say, hey, I want you to be a reptilian?
B
They see the potential that you can do to shift the culture.
A
Right.
B
And I chose to shift it myself.
A
So people actually will come to you and say, hey, I want you to be a reptilian. What does that entail?
B
It's more like, will you. It's basically like selling your soul. It's such a tricky thing.
A
Like Ursula and the Little Mermaid, like, sign on the dotted line and you.
B
Have to give more than that.
A
Really? Yeah. Like a firstborn or like you're left nut or something.
B
Listen, if you want that tour bus to not have the brakes go out tonight.
A
No, I'm just kidding.
B
No one can hear us.
A
No one.
B
No one knows we're talking about this. No, we're good. It's a tricky slope because the industry is really dark work.
A
Right.
B
And there's a lot of people that.
A
Look like there's such a dark side and there's such. Also a light side. It just depends on which there is.
B
But thankfully, because of social media and people having the guts, a lot of things are now infiltrated. Harvey Weinstein, Jeffrey Epstein, all these things are coming out. Right? And it's like, thank God.
A
Yeah.
B
So Hollywood is so scared.
A
Yeah.
B
Oh, I bet there's no new artists. They're all pushing the stupid satanic demon.
A
It's also like, what's her name? It's getting weird.
B
It's just getting boring.
A
It's getting uncomfortable to the point.
B
Right, Is what it is.
A
Yeah. It's just getting uncomfortable to the point of just like, who are. What are you trying to prove? We get it. You know, like you're.
B
It's to make them feed into it. Like they really are. I know, it's. It's so boring. I listen to the new song for the first time on the plane right here, and I'm just like, this is it, huh? Yeah.
A
You're like, that's it.
B
Verse is kind of cute, but it's like, I just bought a limousine and I'm just like, my IQ is dropping right now. It's not great.
A
She's losing her first album.
B
I Even like, paint the town. Right. I think it's cute. It has a great beat. Obviously, these producers know what they're doing. They create a beat that you're gonna be hooked on and you can sing it in your head. Say all game.
A
Yeah, for sure.
B
So I never played the game with these top producers. I never. I saw how dark the industry was and it was like, could go here or this way. So I fired everyone. I said goodbye to Akon. I said goodbye to convict music, which.
A
You were assigned to Akon, whenever you were doing your music.
B
So my last few songs, it has the iconic, like, clink convict. Do you know how cool that was that very first time? I got to put a track out with his intro. It was like, I made it. It was insane. Yeah, Prom night. The crazy single where our little kids shooting up everyone at the end.
A
Yep.
B
Such a forward thinker.
A
You really are. So you have always been. No, for sure, for sure. You have always been ahead of your time.
B
Listen, baby. Columbine had just happened. And I'm like, we're gonna tap into this because I also was getting death threats every day. It was different times, right? I would walk out the streets looking like this faggot. I was called the craziest names. Nowadays, people don't talk like that, right? It's all behind the keyboard.
A
Canceled. That's it.
B
You know what I mean? Yeah.
A
Trolls and.
B
But back in the day, it was just so different.
A
2014, you're already doing MySpace.
B
2014 is when I started the brand, Right?
A
So I was gonna say your MySpace was after music or before?
B
Before and during.
A
Okay, gotcha.
B
And then, remember, MySpace tanked. Finally started having its run. Facebook's here, Instagram's here. All these new things are happening. The population's changing. The last generation's now into, you know, just everything's evolving. So it was a very hard time for me. I let go of the music world, right? I knew I was never going to be number one single and. And performing in front of 20,000 in my head, not knowing what was gonna come later. And I gave it all up. And that was like the only moment where I almost felt like giving up. Not like full suicide, but it was like. It was like very hopeless, right? And I was sitting in this apartment that I did the documentary on, right? Me and Shane Dawson, we even went back to the old apartment. It was so fucked, right? And it was just a moment of like, we're going this way or this way. So then I just started using the Internet, which is free. You don't need to go to college. And I taught myself how to make a product, how to build a brand. And I just taught myself everything from the ground up. And there was a makeup. I mean, I'm in la, there's makeup labs everywhere. People want to work with me, but it was at a really weird stage. So as I quit, I start. I went back to the Warped Tour crowd. I started selling merchandise and doing meet and greets with no music anymore.
A
Right.
B
Here's a sick merch line. Come meet me. Because I was broke.
A
The tenacity, though.
B
I was fucking broke.
A
Most people don't have the tenacity that you do to do that to. To go and teach themselves things and to just keep hustling. That's like something that you can't fucking teach people. You should be proud of your Survivor.
B
Thank you. Survivor mentality. It was like it was do or die.
A
Yeah.
B
So On Warped Tour 2013, testing out my first ever lipstick formulas in the heat. It was awesome. Oh. And I'm concocting my plan and thinking about what I'm going to do and I'm like, okay, I want to put out three liquid lipsticks. There's only like three brands on the market at the time.
A
Kylie wasn't around then.
B
Nope. Her lips were still normal.
A
Yeah.
B
And mine weren't. We had.
A
We got into plastic surgery at a young age because that's where, that's how we grew up. That's how the west coast is.
B
Exactly. Yeah. So I'm on this tour bus, we're doing meet and greets every day in the hot sun. Everyone else, you know, they do their 30 minute set, their little 10 minute meet and greet and they all go, try to fucking get wasted. I'm under that hot tent. Seven hours working that, making, making all the money.
A
Yeah.
B
Never partying. And once the seven hours is over, then I go chill, redo my makeup. Then we swallow.
A
Line them up, Line them up, baby.
B
But, you know, it was just. It was such a crazy time for me, so I felt very hopeless. But then I'm ready to start the brand and launch this.
A
Right?
B
I have no investor. Akon was gonna own part of my brand. Shout out to Akon, amazing musician. Right.
A
Is he a good human too?
B
He is, but he was going through so much turmoil in his life with his record label playing games and all these things. He could not be the best manager for me.
A
So. Okay, circling back, we. You're on Warped Tour, you're doing. You're working your ass off and you're staying Sober this whole time?
B
Yeah.
A
So you never had a problem with drugs or anything?
B
No.
A
Wow.
B
So I didn't smoke. So here's a great. I didn't try weed until I was 23.
A
Okay.
B
We're on tour, and I'm with Daniel. And the very first time was in Salt Lake City at this venue. And their. Their house. The venue owners. Their house was above the venue.
A
Weird.
B
And it was very cool. Shout out to Jackie. I still remember her. And they had the volcano bag.
A
Oh, my God. A gravity bong type thing.
B
No, no, like the volcano. Like the one that blows. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Not the bong, but, like the bag.
A
Okay, gotcha.
B
And it's like pure vapor. So it's very strong for your first time. Yes.
A
Extreme.
B
And obviously, people always ask, like, why did you want to do it? Then it was like, in the moment. I'm feeling that. Not that rock star life, but, like, I had made it. I'm on stage. There's a few thousand people there every night. It was very wild times, right? And I'm with Daniel. I felt very safe, and I was like, you know what? Let me just try it for the first time. Like, everyone else is smoking and they're acting normal. I didn't. I didn't like the wasted, gross, aggressive emotions, all this. I saw the array of people really happy, really violent crying, trauma coming out, and I'm like, all this when you're.
A
Sober around drunk people. I just talked about this on a podcast yesterday.
B
People don't get it. It's hard. It's awful.
A
I tell everybody I'm judging you because there's nothing attractive about a woman spilling all over the place, a guy in your face just breathing on you. Like, I hate it.
B
People don't realize that until they're sober, right? So it was. It was great times, though. It was amazing, right? So we're at this weird trajectory of, like, how am I going to get this brand launched? And then once the.
A
A gravity bag, though.
B
Yeah. Oh, the gravity bag. See, I'm already on the gravity bag today. So we try weed for the first time. So I take a hit. I'll never forget this. And the bag's like, big. And you take a hit. And I'm like, I literally felt nothing. And a lot of people go, well, sometimes the cannabinoids don't work on your first time. Yeah, whatever.
A
Oh.
B
So I didn't know the vapor takes, like, maybe five to 10 minutes to, like, kind of kick in. So Mr. Extreme over here, I take, like, five more hits. And I'm like, nothing's happening. This is so, like, wow. I can't believe I took this long to try to weed and nothing's happening. It hit me like a train.
A
Oh, no.
B
In the best way.
A
Oh, good.
B
No, bad. First trip.
A
Good.
B
I can't stop laughing. Oh, I'm already a silly.
A
Yeah, yeah.
B
Me and Daniel are on. It's this cheetah print rug.
A
Oh.
B
I'm laughing hysterically in my underwear. The show's done. I'm all sweaty, you know, I mean, we're just up there chilling. Everyone's getting a drink. La, la, la. I cannot stop laughing. The munchies hit.
A
Oh.
B
And we're like, okay. You know, we start saying goodbye. I'm high for hours. We get into the van to go to the. The hotel. The little. The little quinta. We're in the van, going to the hotel, and I feel like we're on a roller coaster and we're going 35 mil. Yeah. I'm laughing. And start. We get to the hotel. I clean out the vending machine. Oh, I have no idea. But I'm so high, my brain blacks out.
A
Oh, no.
B
I wake up. There's chili, Frito bags, Funyuns, Snicker bars. Like, I cleaned out that. And I had an eating fest with Daniel. We ordered pizza. I don't remember ordering. And I had the best sleep of my life. That's what I remember.
A
What a great memory of you, too.
B
It was beautiful. And I felt so safe with Daniel. So I love that I start my journey of liking weed. And I didn't fully really get into it until I started my brand and I felt comfortable. And now, you know, I. I say I've been high for 10 years, but marijuana has been a really big. I don't know, it's so hard to, like, claim something is doing something right. But it definitely has helped my creativity flourish. Right.
A
Do you battle with mental illness still or anything?
B
Honestly, no, not really. Like, we are.
A
No cutting or anything like that anymore. I was gonna say maybe it, like, eases that.
B
Yeah. It does take away full anxiety. I don't ever really feel anxious, but I do smoke weed every day where it's legal.
A
Yeah.
B
And let's say my team's like, yo, okay, I created a concept, but you need to name these 35 eyeshadows. Like, now.
A
Right?
B
Puff. It starts coming out. I need, like, if I. That's why music. Oh, my God.
A
Yeah.
B
When I did that first album, I had never really smoked.
A
Right.
B
Beauty, killer, and all the.
A
But it was A way for you to channel.
B
Yes.
A
Your energy. Yes. And just throw yourself into something that you really enjoy.
B
Yeah.
A
I love that.
B
It's really cool.
A
So let's talk about something else that you enjoy. Makeup. Do you still enjoy makeup?
B
I really do.
A
Yeah.
B
Yeah.
A
And skincare now, too.
B
Okay. Obsessed. The older we get. I've always loved skin care. I used to tell people as young as 15, don't move your face.
A
Right. Yeah.
B
Which was always my thing.
A
That's why I'm frozen now.
B
As I get older, I don't care. I dissolved all my filler, and I'm just kind of living a more free life. But I'm still me. I'm still Jeffrey Star.
A
Do you do Botox or anything?
B
I haven't in two years.
A
Wow. It looks amazing, though. I have to have it. I can't. When I start getting the wrinkles in the forehead, I freak out.
B
I'm. Yeah, I do have more wrinkles. I'm not embracing them. Maybe they'll go away this. This winter.
A
Great, though.
B
Thank you. But I'm just doing a little more. Like, my lips were too crazy, so I dissolved a lot. And, you know, when things start to.
A
Migrate, I look like Marge Simpson.
B
So I had to. Yeah, I had to tone it down for me. Like, below. My nose was getting weird.
A
No, your face is perfect. You look beautiful.
B
So I have to tone it down a notch for me.
A
Yeah, that. But we always do things for us, not for anybody else.
B
But I always go extreme.
A
Yeah, for sure. So you started the makeup brand in 2014?
B
2014. I launched three liquid lips on Black Friday.
A
And you were looking for an investor? Akon was gonna invest, but he couldn't.
B
He was out. Next, let's hit up my best friend of 12 years, Kat von D. She's down. She shows me a makeup lab, and I start doing my formula. She literally gives me a sample with a name of the lab. I call it do all the Work. When she tried to destroy my career online, which flopped and backfired, she said she did everything. It was the biggest insult I think I've ever felt my entire life, because I did everything.
A
Yeah. It's always hurtful when a friendship breaks up. It's like, worse than a divorce.
B
And publicly for the very first time, because I had not really done online drama. Then after that, as bigger as things got, oh, it was a bloodbath.
A
I feel like people just come for you just to be.
B
Yes. They used to all the time, just to get attention, so. But it was my first big taste of The Internet. Flipping right. Without knowing any facts.
A
Oh, they don't care.
B
And then days later, if I recall, they all flip back and realize it was all full.
A
Yeah, they don't care.
B
But it was so hurtful for someone to say I created his brand. It was like. But it was believable. That was a problem. And now because she was a little.
A
Bit bigger than you back.
B
Absolutely right. Because she had that and she liked or whatever having more money than me and she liked being the friend that had more. So when I surpassed her, she flipped on me. 12 year friendship. She's tattooed my whole body. 50 portraits. It's.
A
Would you guys ever be friends again?
B
No.
A
He just because of you.
B
Because of the way I was treated. I can never. Forgiving is fine. When you get older, you can never go back to someone that stabbed you that hard.
A
Well, you can but not forget.
B
Yes. So it was one of the most painful things I've gone through.
A
Do you think maybe she's grown a lot since being a wife and I'm just playing devil's advice.
B
Yeah. No, I honestly have no idea.
A
Yeah.
B
I'm one of those people that now that I've. I've. I've really helped myself. I don't lurk. It's like the old days. I would care what everyone's doing. It's so unhealthy. It is.
A
I need to stop doing that.
B
I don't. So I don't read the news. I don't know what's happening anymore. I don't care who's who. What's this? Who did this? Who? I just don't care. It's so unhealthy.
A
You just get to a point of just serenity.
B
But when you're in the same world. Yes. You're told she has a kid now. That's crazy. Crazy.
A
Yeah.
B
Insane. That. That's insane.
A
Yeah.
B
And when you say also like I hate children and then you have one, anyone's allowed to change their mind. Obviously I've grown a lot. It was wild to see someone become a parent.
A
Right.
B
So hopefully it makes them nicer.
A
I feel like children soften women too. So, you know, you never know. Never say never. Maybe you guys will cross paths somewhere down the road and be able to.
B
But I'm ready to share because I have never really talked about it. And I think that I never got to say my piece because no one wanted to hear what I had to say at the time.
A
I know. I just hate that for you. I feel like you're so misunderstood. Not now. I feel like with TikTok, everybody's starting to get to see the real you or the grown you. And I feel like everybody's loving it and embracing it.
B
Her saying misunderstood was the only time today where I felt like a tinge of wanting to cry.
A
Oh, I love you. You want to hug?
B
Let's hug later.
A
Listen.
B
But yeah, it's hard when you have success to say you feel any type of way because people equate to you feeling fine. Yeah, I didn't. I never started the brand to make money.
A
Right.
B
It grew insane. And then I.
A
So you started the brand because you came from nothing and you had something to prove.
B
Yes.
A
You didn't want to be a piece of shit. Your whole. Or, you know, whatever people. A derogatory name that people were calling you. I totally understand. I've been a hooker my entire life. Now I'm a millionaire because I fucking.
B
Work my ass off. Understand?
A
Yeah. Like they can't let go of that past, but they want to, you know, they don't want to acknowledge what I've done with my clothes on, you know. So I totally understand where you're coming from. Let's talk about the brand though. So you started it and started at 2014.
B
So Kat was going to be the investor.
A
Yes.
B
Flips on me. We all know that how that ended. And isn't it funny? She doesn't have owner brand anymore. It's gone.
A
Yeah.
B
The irony in the last crazy. My brand turns nine years old this November. Crazy. So grateful for the journey we. So I then in the music industry, I'm like, okay, I have. I have no investor. I've already met the lab. The three colors are done. The formula is better than the ones on the market. I have no money. So I'm sitting there in full hopelessness. But I'm like, I'm still a hustler. Hello.
A
So how many dicks do I gotta suck?
B
That's it. And. And shockingly none to get the first loan.
A
Good for you.
B
Isn't that great? So I start hitting up booking agents, people that are in the industry. Do you know anyone?
A
Connections that you've made?
B
I know everyone. Yeah, I know all the. All the booking agents from the little punk rock venues to House the Blues to the arenas. And I'm like, okay, I'm gonna start networking. I start calling people. This guy that owns Sumerian Records had a meeting with me and the co owners of Sumerian Records. Ash and Jeff Cohen invested in me and believed in the project.
A
And it feel good. It was insane to have somebody believe in you finally in your vision.
B
Clip clicked of like you. You have the funds to make the dream a reality. And all I needed was a hundred thousand. So I. I put everything I had in and they gave me the last of what I needed on launch day. I paid them back in five minutes. Wow.
A
I just got goosebumps.
B
It was beautiful because it was so like, is anyone going to care? I'm like, I have to do a photo shoot. I do a photo shoot in a pink coffin.
A
Yeah.
B
My first brand shoot ever. And my eyes are open and I'm like. Like the liquid lipstick you've all been dying for. Coming soon. And that was this journey of my even creating a website, letting people know where you are. And then it was just like, you know, releasing colors and then the first highlighter and then the first lip scrub. And now it's spiraled into this massive thing and it's just so beautiful. And I'm so in love with makeup. And I've changed the entire industry, literally everything. I enter, even TikTok. I'm changing TikTok right now. I'm taking the credit from doing the live streams of the live crowd.
A
Dude, we crack up seeing you on live all the time.
B
I'm like, you never know what you're getting.
A
I'm like, jeffrey is hilarious.
B
Really fun.
A
No, you're hilarious.
B
And then battling, like, the Tick Tock creators.
A
Yeah.
B
And the people that I didn't know existed and then becoming part of the family, and then half of them loving me and, you know, half them hate me.
A
I don't think they hate you. I think they just hate to love you.
B
Yeah. That's really. I can't believe I joined their platform and I'm loving it. They. Some people are shook.
A
I'm so happy. When I saw you on there, I was like, jeffrey's on Tick Tock. I was like, it's about time.
B
I know. So in the pandemic, when it was this whole dancing era.
A
Hated it. I wouldn't do it either. I was like, you're not gonna catch my.
B
It was the first time where I was like, wow, I'm not progressing with the Internet culture, but YouTube is still so big. So let's go to. I start the brand. I learned what a beauty influencer is. Rolling my eyes in the back of my skull right now.
A
Like, everybody's so catty in that industry and just.
B
I start doing YouTube. I upload my first tutorial. Now, remember, I always forget to tell this to people. No one had seen me without Makeup on before. So my big.
A
Which I think you're gorgeous without makeup on. I love you without makeup on.
B
And a lot of people do. Thank you for saying that. But I wasn't ready. And I felt insecure about. It.
A
Was everything your entire life.
B
Exactly.
A
You hid behind that?
B
Absolutely. And now that my trauma was starting to heal. I wasn't broke anymore. I had tax evasion. My bank account was frozen. No one knew any of this. And it was really, really dark times. I started.
A
The IRS is the real fucking gangster.
B
That's it. They love me.
A
But they do.
B
They love me. And it. And it transformed my entire life. So as I started to heal, the big shock was I'm gonna be bareface on YouTube.
A
Yeah.
B
And I saw what the other girls were doing. So boring. We all know I fuck it. Everything I enter.
A
I love that you always want to do your own thing. Because I'm the same exact way. I don't want to follow everybody.
B
That's it. So I enter YouTube. I'm the first person. I'm doing a tutorial. I'm lighting up the bowl. They changed the rules. You can't do that anymore.
A
Yeah.
B
20, 15, 16, 17. Oh, my God. And then 1819 was just obviously incredible. And my channel went from a hundred thousand to eighteen million people. And it was just like, how is this real? From tutorials to showing everything about my. I call it my marriage. My five year marriage. From every surgery to every mistake is all on my channel.
A
Yeah.
B
And I quit last year.
A
You shared your life with everybody.
B
I did.
A
I was so invested in you and Nate's relationship. That is.
B
It was beautiful.
A
It was gorgeous to watch. And thank you.
B
Because I fell in love for the first time not knowing it was gonna be on camera. Really.
A
Right.
B
And it was really cool.
A
Yeah.
B
I finally felt loved for the first time by another man that didn't want me to be a secret. And it really helped me heal. So being in love in that relationship really helped me heal.
A
What happened with you guys? If you don't mind me asking? Can we talk about it?
B
There's a lot of paperwork involved.
A
Wow. Really?
B
Yeah. Yeah.
A
Wow.
B
Yep.
A
Both we.
B
Yeah. Yep.
A
I just went and lurked his Instagram last night and he doesn't look like he's doing well.
B
Really? No. Oh, my God. That's so weird to hear. Because I don't lurk anymore. Obviously. This was.
A
I was like, where is he? Because I was writing my questions.
B
Oh, my God. This November, I'm four years single. I mean, no. I've dated people that's not fair to say. But in a deep, real relationship, yeah.
A
Are you. Do you think that maybe you're scared?
B
Of what?
A
Of falling in love again.
B
Oh, that's a great question. No. And I'll get back to that. No, I'm open now. I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid at all. I know. No, I'm really not. Like, I'm very open to it. Haven't met the right person. I've dated some people. We've had a good time, la la. But I haven't met anyone like I felt when I met him. And our souls were like, wow.
A
Twin flames.
B
Yeah. Had no idea. So I have not felt that since our breakup can legally not be discussed.
A
Gotcha.
B
I'm so sorry, everyone that wants the tea. I know, I know. I, I. It's not like I even want to talk about it. It's just, it's a normal thing. Like, you can legally talk about your breakups and whatever. I cannot. Which is a different world we live in.
A
Yeah.
B
So we had a great time. Does.
A
So there's not one person that you have met that has, like, just set your soul on fire?
B
Not since.
A
Yeah, you're just.
B
That's my vibrator. It's on the bus.
A
It's my blood pressure cuff in my purse. When it goes off, people think it's a vibrator.
B
It's the NDA vibrating in my backpack, literally. Oh.
A
So moving on.
B
So you lurked. That's so funny.
A
Yeah. So. Yeah.
B
And what. And what is your synapses? So I miss Bunny.
A
Yeah. Because I was writing on my interview last night, and I was like, where the is Nate? Because that is the only part of your life that I was ever invested in. I have not been invested since. No offense, but I don't get in the drama, and I don't care. Like, I just love you as a human.
B
I love that.
A
Thank you.
B
So you did a little lurking.
A
I did. So I went on Nate's profile, and he looked, looks. And I, you know, this is just my observation. I'm not saying anything. I don't know anything.
B
Okay.
A
He looks like he might be under the influence of something not positive, but he just doesn't look mentally okay. You know, so. I don't know. I even said that to Haley earlier today. I was like, he didn't look good. Like, you can look at you and see that you're glowing and that you're trying to heal and, you know, be a better human. And with him, it just kind of looks like, he's lost probably still.
B
That's interesting.
A
Yeah.
B
Oh, my God.
A
Do you ever miss him?
B
No.
A
Okay, Moving on.
B
I love all the times we had, though. And a lot of it, which is funny, is on camera. Right. We went to Bora Bora for the first time together. Like, those were so cool. And obviously, there were so many moments off camera of. Of love and affection. And, you know, we had little pieces on YouTube. But it was a beautiful relationship. It really was. And I had really fell in love.
A
With the first time it served its purpose.
B
Yeah. And it did. And it was so. It was really great for me because it really did. Like I said, help me heal. And I think it's hard for people if you haven't really fallen in love, what that feels like, because I thought it was made up, and then it happened to me.
A
He probably helped heal a bunch of childhood trauma wounds, you know, really did. You know, growing up in chaotic households, like. Like we grew up in. We search for that puzzle piece that can make us feel like the, you know, the little kid that we were before.
B
And so cliche. When I stopped looking is when it hit.
A
Yeah. Hello. I've never dated a. A big guy before, and I literally had sworn off all dudes. And then here comes this big squish, and he just bounces into my life.
B
Dude. And souls connect.
A
Literally.
B
Cannot explain it at all.
A
Like, he. It's so cool. Seven years, and I just couldn't imagine life without him. So it's gonna happen for you again because you're a beautiful human and you deserve to be loved.
B
I agree. And I'm open to it.
A
Yeah. Well, you guys hear that? Jeffrey's looking. Well, no, Jeffrey's not looking. He's open.
B
You never know.
A
Yeah.
B
Right now I'm back in my whole era, I think.
A
Would it be a regular guy, or would it have to be somebody who's on the same level as you? I would think trying to date you would be hard.
B
It is.
A
Yeah.
B
But I'm also really busy, so it's hard to right now. Want to give a bigger of piece. Piece of me right now. Right. I'm obsessed with my ranch. I'm a real farmer.
A
Yeah.
B
Like, I'm out there in Louis Vuitton, covered in yak. I got over 350 yaks. I have four factoring camels.
A
I know why you love yaks. I've come to the conclusion because I was pulling up a picture of them the other day because I was the.
B
Most diva of all cows.
A
I was like, what the Is it?
B
Remember that terminology.
A
Tell me that's not the scene, kid. Of the animal kingdom.
B
That is a Highland Scottish cow.
A
Okay, well, I thought it was, but.
B
They look very similar. Okay, they do look similar.
A
Gotcha. I was like, it's the hair. It's the emo hair.
B
Like, so yaks. Those are called. So the yaks that look like that are called super woolies.
A
Okay.
B
And there's different, like, hair on the yak. But they're all really beautiful. They're like. I call them the diva of all cows.
A
Are they majestic as. I can't wait. I'm so excited.
B
I live at the base of a mountain.
A
Can I ride one?
B
Yeah, you can ride a camel. No yaks. Yeah. But you can pet a yak. You can rub one to the ground. They're really cool creatures.
A
And are they just so loving.
B
Yeah.
A
I heard the coolest quote the other day that said if you want to buy land and fill it with animals, it's because in the time of need that you had during your trauma, that was what. The only thing that was there for you were the animals. And I was like, that's me. Because I can't wait to dye my hair red and be a gardener and be ugly and just also have.
B
I don't want to eat horrible food.
A
Right.
B
That we're probably being poisoned with.
A
What is your diet?
B
Pretty. Pretty bad? It's way better now.
A
Yeah.
B
So let me. Let me drop a shot. Let me drop a shocker. No, fast food. Really?
A
Yeah.
B
Obviously, I've had in and out once or twice a year, but I used to eat and promote fast food. Like, it was part of my thing. Right. And I do not. I haven't eaten fast food in, like, three years.
A
Yeah, I don't eat fast food either. I ate in and out when we were in Vegas.
B
Yeah. Sometimes you have to.
A
I literally am eating sauerkraut and ground chicken today to just. Just make my tummy feel better.
B
I love food, so. And. And I eat a lot of yak now, so obviously I raise them for pets and breeding, but now I have a full meat operation.
A
Do you have certain yaks that you love and they get to live?
B
People always go in on me. Like, you're.
A
Yeah.
B
The ones I name and I'm rubbing on. On Instagram, obviously, are not being slaughtered for meat.
A
So we have taken.
B
No, we haven't. We're not taking Snowflake and Snowstorm to the butcher. So we have a whole meat meat herd, which you'll see when you come to the Ranch. And they're just there for food. We're in six restaurants now.
A
Wow.
B
It's un. We're in the busiest steakhouse in all of Wyoming called Fire Rock.
A
I love that. Maybe we'll have to go eat there.
B
Oh yeah. Or we'll cook them at the house. Whatever you want.
A
Yeah. Whatever you want.
B
Yak steaks. So then of course I opened up my new store.
A
Right.
B
Make the Jeffree Star Store. We're gonna go visit that and meet.
A
Okay. So let's. Before we get to the store. You quit YouTube.
B
You left LA after almost nine years on YouTube. Billions of views.
A
Did you just have enough.
B
It ran its course. And then the drama from all my old friends. They ruined YouTube. I always. I'm. It's their fault. Yeah. They really did.
A
Yeah.
B
So they. The last final hurrah was two ex friends uploaded a video full of lies about me and it literally ruined the Internet. It was at a point where people did not want drama anymore. It's on CNN. 50 million views and they're all trying to flip on me because I just keep climbing and climbing.
A
Right.
B
So we all kind of. And then YouTube itself kind of broke. The beauty industry of YouTube was dead. Right. We're all getting 30 million views. No one cares anymore. Right. And it's a new era.
A
The monetization on it has changed even.
B
Yes.
A
Yeah.
B
But the cool thing is all my old videos are still there.
A
Yeah.
B
I get a check every month from Google. It's like residuals on music. It's pretty cool.
A
Yeah.
B
So will I ever upload again? I don't know. Maybe. I've been asked when I launch big makeup collections to go back and swatch them in a 30 minute video.
A
Yeah.
B
Versus this quick tik tok. Like how do you promote a collection with 10 new items? Right. With a quick little 30 second. So you never know.
A
I think if anybody can figure anything out, it's you. Absolutely. If you can make anything your.
B
But I was burnt out.
A
Yeah.
B
So we're on 20 years of social media.
A
Yeah. You just needed a break. Your soul was tired.
B
And then I discovered TikTok. In a good way.
A
When you quit YouTube, did you. Was that when you moved from LA to Wyoming?
B
Was it? I'd already lived in Wyoming.
A
Oh, so you had.
B
So I was showing. Yeah.
A
I was already getting ready to just.
B
Yep.
A
You were going through a change.
B
Yes. A big one.
A
Yeah.
B
And it was. It was a necessity. It was necessary.
A
Did you leave LA just because of the. The humans that are there? Because I tell everybody, like When Leo Skeppy came on the podcast, I was like, leo, don't go to la. It's not the same as it used to be. It lost its sparkle.
B
It's lost its magic. It's really not what it used to be anymore at all. And I fell out of love with it.
A
Yeah.
B
And then it was just getting so dark and to. And just so many weird things are happening behind the scenes. And a lot of people did not want me around anymore because of this moment of, like when all the YouTube drama happened. I was going to expose a lot of people. And this is a tricky conversation. Someone else's. Let me word this the right way. I got cocky and thought that I could ignore expose someone else's trauma and story to X out someone else.
A
Gotcha.
B
That person did not want me to. Therefore, this person is still free. Wow. And that was very hard to deal with. Right?
A
Yeah.
B
But it was also selfishly wanting to let everyone know this person's a piece of. Right. And it's like I had to learn through my journey of healing and through therapy. That was not. Not appropriate. Which is I never did it. Obviously.
A
Right.
B
But those thoughts were haunting me.
A
But your intention behind it was good.
B
Yes. Because so many people were trying to hurt. We're supporting someone who is so awful.
A
Right. It's that misunderstood thing again. Yeah. Yes.
B
So the Internet as the roller coaster of my career has been. They wanted me to be the villain. I guess that that year.
A
Everybody needs a villain.
B
And it was crazy me. So this person begged and pleaded me not to share what they had told me. I obviously respected it and never did it.
A
Right. That's still. That shows that you're a good human. You know, you didn't.
B
And to see this person still out there. They're not thriving like they used to be at all. Is just interesting. But the industry does have demon demonic snakes.
A
Yeah, Absolutely. You'll have to tell me who it is later so I can steer clear of that human.
B
Oh. His name is James Charles, girls.
A
Oh, no. Really? Damn it. Do we need to believe that? No, no, no.
B
James. You know, you're a biggest. He's the biggest piece of. In the beauty industry.
A
Wow.
B
And he allegedly has done a lot of horrible things. He admitted to talking to minors. He is a piece.
A
So that is true. I just. I always stay out of the drama.
B
He did a video allegedly not allegedly admitting to sexting minors.
A
So I never knew this. Hey. We had a situation where he used one of my makeup artists as hacks and didn't tag Her. So I just. On my backup account, I have a backup tik tok, tik tok account. I was just like, hey, James, we love you, we respect you, but, you know, give credit where credit's due.
B
He wants to be the one that he did, though. Oh, okay.
A
I was surprised.
B
Right.
A
But what's crazy is everybody in the comments started telling me about the pedophile stuff and I was like, God, I didn't know. You know, like, I stay out of.
B
It, but one of the most vile human beings on this planet.
A
Lord.
B
Yep.
A
That's crazy.
B
Well, honestly. And I have never really talked or addressed these things, but he is a literal monster.
A
Wow.
B
And the fact that he's out there and somehow has a beauty product, I guess that just came out. And a list celebrities are promoting this alleged child is. People aren't ready for the truth. Everyone wants to keep their mouth shut and they keep. Keep why?
A
Right.
B
If someone is bad, let people know. Yeah. No, you have a list celebrities literally using this. Has he been all demonic and really dark and all those people, they stick together.
A
Has he ever been charged?
B
I don't know. I don't think so.
A
Yeah, I think that's probably.
B
Will we see it in the future? Yes, I'm sure.
A
Well, also the Illuminati, though, not to keep bringing that up, but don't they use people like James Charles to bleed into other air, you know, because they can easily access minors, the children. Right. Yeah.
B
He is a big problem and I don't speak on him, but they tried to ruin my career because of all the information I had.
A
Wow, it's really brave of you.
B
So I moved away. I stood up to all of them, said you.
A
Yeah.
B
And I left that little LA county. And they're so controlled mentally by it. It's really sad. So.
A
And you're free.
B
Yes.
A
You're literally.
B
But it's shocking, honestly. It really is. And I never speak about this. People ask me about this all the time.
A
Yeah.
B
I don't dwell. I don't really think about them. But when you start, you know, you're interviewing me, we're talking about the literal past.
A
No, I appreciate the honesty and it's.
B
Like I'm always going to keep it real.
A
Need to know. It's not fair where you could be saving another child. You know, like that part. Yeah.
B
But they don't take. People are not taking it as serious anymore or like new people discover someone and they're like, yeah, whatever.
A
Well, hopefully they will after hearing you speak on it. Because somebody such as Yourself, who's been in the industry for so long, who has street cred, literally, you know, to be able to stand up to somebody as powerful as him. Because he is a powerful dude.
B
Yeah.
A
And say that, you know, maybe people will start listening now.
B
It's scary. Oh, it makes me sick just, like, thinking about his name. So.
A
Sorry. I have no idea.
B
But I've learned that it's not. Not. I don't need to expose anyone.
A
Right.
B
I don't need to do any of that. It's all gonna play out how it's supposed to be.
A
It always comes in the dark. Always comes along.
B
He is pure evil. Let me just leave it at that.
A
All right. Moving on to more beautiful things. Casper, take me. Take. We're gonna go see the beauty.
B
Drama exploded. I don't know. Wyoming's coming, but I'm like. I'm just so over living here.
A
Yeah.
B
And I also had an ego. Death. Death.
A
I love that you know when to tap out.
B
Yes.
A
A lot of people don't know when to do that.
B
And you know about ego deaths.
A
Yeah. Haley just had one on the PJ last night. She took it.
B
Really?
A
She took a edible and thought she died. She was looking.
B
No, but I'm talking about, like, when you. Your real ego, like. Yeah. Diminishes.
A
Oh, yeah. No, I've been through. I went through a really bad domestic violence relationship where I almost died a couple times.
B
Horrible.
A
That will humble you and literally make you. You take the shell of the human that you were off and become a different human. Yes. For sure.
B
I'm playing this in my book, like, December 19th, I'm single for the first time in five years. I move into the. One of the biggest houses in la. The big. One of the biggest mansions in Hidden Hills.
A
Yeah. It was a big. I remember seeing it online.
B
Single, 25, 000 square feet.
A
Lonely.
B
Pandemic started. Starts. We had so much fun. We filled so much content. But I had a realization sitting in this massive home, surrounded by all these things, that it didn't make me happy.
A
Yeah. Material doesn't make you happy.
B
No, but I didn't know that because I didn't have time to really think.
A
Until you were working towards the goal.
B
Yes. So I don't know. I want to leave California permanently. I just know I want to be away. I want to be in quiet. I want to actually go heal and not pretend and talk about it. Like all my efforts. Ex friends and we. I've been to Wyoming so many times. I've been on tour right. For Years we passed through here. Oh, my God. Stunning. So I'm looking around. Jackson Hole is very famous. A lot of celebrities live there. Big mansions, no land. I'm like this. This is literally like going to LA.
A
Yeah.
B
We discover Casper. It's a small town, 60,000 people. A hard working town. People are nice.
A
Country boys everywhere.
B
Yep. Oil field workers. Farmers.
A
There are some really hot oil field workers. I see my tick tock. I'm like, damn.
B
Hot. UPS workers, baby. Listen. So we. We fly there a few times. We love it. Everyone's really nice. Instead of like, la, well, what do you do for a living? You know how they look you up and down. How can I use you? It's how are you? I was like.
A
And they genuinely want to hear you.
B
Y' all really want to know how I'm doing.
A
Yeah.
B
I had to train myself to like.
A
That's how it was when I moved to Nashville.
B
The guard had to come down a little.
A
Yeah.
B
Fell in love with it. I find a property that has a bunch of land for sale around it. End of the road, no neighbors. Really. Silence. Don't know. I'm gonna become a farmer and own one yak.
A
Farmer Jeff.
B
Farmer Jeff's in the building and all of a sudden I have all this land and I'm like, oh, okay. I had seen yaks on tour in Switzerland. 2010. We're in Geneva. We're going through in the little tour bus. Yaks on the hillside.
A
Could you have ever imagined in 2010 that you would own a yak farm? Just saying that. Chance encounter with them.
B
I Google. Are they legal? It's a bovine cow. I don't know this though, because they're. I've only seen them in other countries.
A
Yeah.
B
I Google it. There's even a yak farm in town.
A
Yeah.
B
I buy my first three. You know, I can't leave it alone and just have them be my pets.
A
Right now.
B
We're.
A
I'm surprised they're not in the house with you.
B
Sometimes they are in the kitchen. Yeah.
A
Oh, my God.
B
The little ones that are trained, they'll come in and out, out. They're really cute. The dogs love them.
A
I'm gonna cry. That is cool. I need that. I'm gonna go tell my husband right now. We need land.
B
And there are yaks in Tennessee even though it's humid there in the summer. And I don't really recommend it. My friend does have a yak ranch out there.
A
My husband, actually. I told him last night about your land in Casper and he was like, dude, let's look for some land. I was like, I'll ask him if he knows anybody that's selling stuff.
B
We're ready.
A
We're trying to get a farm and peace and quiet.
B
Yeah. There's nothing like it.
A
Yeah. So what does.
B
Now we're here.
A
What does Jeffrey do next? Do you just kick up your feet and just relax? Like, does the little boy in you?
B
Yeah.
A
Is he ever gonna be proud?
B
I'm really proud now.
A
Good.
B
I am running year nine of the brand. Two years into skin care. I'm raising Tibetaniacs and camels.
A
I mean, come on.
B
And the farm life is so fulfilling. So last year, for six months, I didn't travel except twice to do photo shoots. Everyone came to me. Jay saw snow for the first time. We did a photo shoot in 10 degree.
A
I love your team, by the way. Her team is. His team is here and they're just amazing.
B
And we're in the snow. 10 inches of snow. Shooting the Wyoming winter campaign. Like, we've done so many cool things. So I didn't travel for six months. I got to really become a rancher.
A
Yeah.
B
And it's me and a few guys. We do it all ourselves.
A
You get out there all the time and just bust ass. Oh, I love it.
B
It's like my. My big pet project. I'm obsessed with it.
A
I love this for you.
B
So now we're just growing it. More restaurants we open. So we just opened up the store.
A
Right.
B
Which yellow have performed at Iconic meat and makeup.
A
Like, what a crazy concept.
B
Isn't it cool? And a lot of people. Oh, baby.
A
Yeah.
B
I'm gonna call my store. One of the busiest retail stores in Wyoming history.
A
Wow.
B
And September and you're there working it.
A
I see you online. Just working it.
B
September 14th, two month anniversary. Oh, it's a zoo. Every day a line out the door. And then I started to like, make up a funny concept. Celebrity works the register. It's my own store. I. I'm very hands on with everything I do. So I'm like, you know what? I'm gonna go live and I'm gonna just help the customers out and like ring them up. Let's just see how it goes. I'm on a six hour stream. It's crazy insane. And me and TikTok are good friends now. We've just worked on a really big deal together.
A
Yeah. Can we talk about it?
B
Working on it. It. I'm gonna do some announcements soon.
A
Good.
B
But they are very happy that I joined.
A
Duh.
B
One of the. One of the highest viewed streamers ever, which is crazy.
A
It's not crazy.
B
And you guys seen the battles, right? And you've seen people go live. How you can send the gifts.
A
The island boy is always so the. I can't stand that he's a piece of.
B
Also, they tried to battle me and I'm like, no.
A
Yeah. No, they're just not great.
B
So there's. It's all very addicting and it's very fun. And we're working on some big, big Jeffree star moments.
A
Yay.
B
Which is so cool to be. And I'm the OG of social media.
A
That's what I was gonna say for.
B
The newest, hottest platform 20 years later.
A
To be like, yes, sir, you reinvent yourself. You're like the Madonna of social media. Yeah, Madonna's kind of.
B
I like that.
A
Literally, you are. You literally absolutely reinvent yourself. And you always know how to stay, you know, abreast of everything and just.
B
He's relevant.
A
Always, always relevant. Baby, I love that for you. And I love that this. This journey that you're on. I love this Jeffrey right here.
B
Just.
A
You seem so.
B
I'm actually proud of myself, so it's so cool that you said that, because I never really talk about that. I'm very grateful. I'm very humbled, and I wake up every day like it's my last, and I just go hard.
A
I love it.
B
I think if I'm given this opportunity, I can't be lazy one day out of my life.
A
No. So do you ever think you're going to be able to rest Currently?
B
No.
A
You're a restless spirit, like me.
B
I don't.
A
It's like I always have. No matter how proud of myself I am. It's like, okay, what can I do next? Like, I have to stay busy.
B
Yes.
A
No, I get that. I totally understand that.
B
And there's so many more dicks to conquer. And there's.
A
We didn't even get into the dicks.
B
Isn't that nice? Finally someone had me on their podcast and it wasn't about my Deep Throat. It wasn't about all the band guys and all the athletes.
A
No, I don't like that stuff. Doesn't.
B
It's. So we've already done it all. Especially from our past.
A
Yeah.
B
It doesn't interest off camera. Maybe I'll show her a picture.
A
Yeah, no, I would like that.
B
Maybe I'll show her a few. A list.
A
We can. We can. We can compare notes. Yeah, for sure. But I just feel like there's so much more to you Than the dicks you.
B
Thank you. And that is fine.
A
I like Mogul dude.
B
Thank you.
A
Like, you can pick any dick in the world. You know what I'm saying? You have the choice.
B
Does the audience know that we've maybe slept with one or two of the same people?
A
Well, no, but they do now. I never go into. I never discuss about who I sleep with. So, Jeffrey. Except for that one time when MJ came on my. My podcast.
B
Yes. And that. Okay, so the reason. Not the reason, but it accelerated our friendship as I wake up one day. Oh, it accelerated it. I wake up one day and I'm on Tick Tock, and I'm just starting my journey, and I'm like, why am I getting tagged in this thing about fucking sucking dick? And I'm like, typical. Then I'm hits you and your friend, and we're. And it was just hilarious.
A
Yeah. So mj, MJ Fresh came on the podcast, and I get a fucking FaceTime. I'm on the phone with her, and I'm like, this is a Wyoming number. Do you think it's Jeffrey? And she's like, no, answer it. I'm like, no, I'm not answering it because I don't know who it is.
B
You know?
A
Calls three more times, and I'm like.
B
I'm the only Wyoming number she should have in that phone. There's one area code for the whole state. Literally, shout out to 307.
A
So I text it, and I'm like, you called? And he's like, this is your new bestie, Jeffrey. And I was like, holy shit. And he's like, so I heard that I'm sucking dick. Long story short, Jeffrey actually sucked one of my ex's dick and hooked up with MJ Fresh's ex. So that. That's how it had gotten brought up. And we were just like, shout out, Jeffrey, what if I. He's a player, you know?
B
Can I ask a question?
A
Yeah, of course.
B
How did she. Or you know? So that's all I've wanted to ask.
A
My ex told me. Yeah, he. We. I'm very Vegas. Yeah. He was like, jeffrey sucked my dick one night. And I was like, how was it was. I'm very tall, and he's built like. He's got a little baby arm.

B
Why do you think I flew in to do this?
A
Yeah. I love you. I do have a question for you though, about one hookup.
B
He can fix it on camera. It's fine.
A
Yeah, that's fine. I don't care.
B
Oh, my God. Can I have a sip? Can we share?
A
Of course.

A
No, you're fine.
B
If a guy's flying out, he's getting 24 hour testing with the results to my email know.
A

A
Do you meet people?
B
Not that many people. I'm sounding like I. Every day.
A
No, no.
B
Have I met some people? Yeah, yeah. It's every other day.
A
You have to be very. You have to be guarded. Have you guys ever hooked up?
B
No, but he. He's seen. Go ahead, tell him. Oh, so. So besides. Can I say this or no. So besides doing wigs, Jay also does porn on the side. He's a star.
A
I love that.
B
Come, Kevin. Come on. Take me with you. I love that because I'm like, where can I go in? Because I started to get more famous as the makeup brands popped.
A
Yeah.
B
And I'm like, I don't want to go to this men's free clinic anymore. People are going to think, oh, he has something. So he's getting. People make up the craziest.
A
Yeah. For sure.
B
And they're like, no, I just want to make sure I'm safe and clean. Yeah. So I was like, damn, Jay, I don't want to go to this place anymore. People are gonna, like, take it, you know, because you're in the lobby, someone goes like this. Yeah. Oh, no.
A
And then they. You can have the rest of it. You're fine.
B
Thank you.
A
So they literally, people will say something and it's like, word is bond.
B
Like they.
A
They don't have to have any proof. It just spreads like wildfire. Does that to me every day.
B
So Jay hooked me up and.
A
Yeah.
B
You know, but I have been on the gym, like, obviously. And he's like, right next to me.
A
So you guys. Are you guys like BFFs?
B
Yeah. Like, obviously people can turn that into something. So it's like, you know, I'm in a very, very strong click. We've all been friends for years.
A
Yeah.
B
So I Was like, hey, I love that. Thank you, Kevin.
A
Of course. Well, look, I don't go any. These two are my shadow.
B
That's it.
A
Mimi, like, when you find your. Your squad that you trust.
B
We've had other employees, like, people have tried to fight us. Us. They. They've ran, and I'm in. I'm literally.
A
I wouldn't try to fight you guys.
B
Looking like this, and I'm like, I have his back. Always.
A
I want to see Jeffrey mad, running in, full glam, swinging.
B
I would pay for that swinging, baby. A fan wanted to take a photo, but Jeffrey was having a conversation. And you know, people have sometimes no boundaries, no respect at all.
A
Yeah, yeah.
B
But God forbid a public figure or somebody acts on their feelings and they get bashed for it. Right? Because they don't see the other.
A
Yeah. Oh, absolutely. There's always two sides.
B
Just one second. Let me finish this conversation. The fan felt some type of way into a drink. I haven't had a drink thrown on me. I'm talking. And this was, like, a year ago. I'm talking the marijuana. Kidding. I'm talking 10 years. We're in Casper, Wyoming. She don't have. She can't get her photo right now. She throws a Red Bull can. It splashes my shoulder, and it gets on him. Game over. Let's just say game over.
A
Oh, it's a rat. I don't understand how people feel so entitled to somebody's time and body.
B
Yes.
A
It's just crazy.
B
But I'm also so nice. I love taking pictures. Look how fucking sickening I look. I want to take a photo with you. I don't want to hide in the dark.
A
Yeah, for sure.
B
I'm. Hey, I'm just having a. People don't care.
A
Yeah.
B
Think that they can get away with attacking guys, too.
A
Yeah. That's crazy, baby.
B
I don't care who it is.
A
If you don't start none, won't be none.
B
That's it.
A
You know what I'm saying?
B
We're not. We're not about the disrespect, but most people are obviously really great. They are.
A
No. And we do this because of you guys. You know, like, without you guys, there is no us, so. All right, so I'm gonna ask you some questions. We're gonna end this on the hot seat.
B
Six, y'.
A
All. Dude, we've been talking for an hour now.
B
It's about to start. It goes by so quick.
A
Crazy, right?
B
What's. What's. It's not tripping me out, but it's really cool. And. And amazing. When I meet someone and it's like, I've known you for a long time. You know, some people I haven't interviewed a lot. You've been interviewed a lot, and so is your husband. And, you know, sometimes or a lot of the time, the vibe or it's the same questions.
A
Yeah.
B
Like, girl, you don't have anything else to say.
A
Yeah.
B
And I feel like I've known you for a long time. I love your energy.
A
That means I love your energy. I think that's a big, biggest compliment that you could ever give a human is loving their energy.
B
Absolutely.
A
And I've always felt drawn to you. And I watched those three podcasts because I really have not kept up with you. And when I got done watching them, I told my girls, I was like, he is me. Literally, like, we're like the same type of human.
B
Isn't it funny? So she has watched me do a few podcasts and then been on them. It's. Don't you find it weird sometimes how some. How people act on camera with me versus is with other people?
A
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I brought that up to you before the show. I was like, you know, maybe they're not straight, but we're not going to say names on. Can I get a yes? Exactly. All right, so this is called the hot seat. I'm going to ask you a couple probably, like, six questions.
B
I'm ovulating.
A
You have to answer them as fast as you can. Okay.
B
All right.
A
Mary Kill. Kanye West.
B
Okay, Mary Kill. Let's go. Yep.
A
Kanye West, Jelly Roll, Drake.
B
Oh, this. I know.
A
Oh, listen, listen, inquiry minds want to know. I feel like Drake swings the other way.
B
So we're gonna marry Drake, Jelly roll. And behead Kanye west with a guillotine. Okay.
A
Gotcha.
B
And all my life, I have never slept with that man. We've been in the same room. I. A bunch of his friends. I've sucked off some of his homies. Yeah. I don't like short dudes.
A
Yeah.
B
That. It's like guys that wear eyeliner.
A
Yeah.
B
I. I'm not into short kings. You're not a king if you're short. Because you.
A
I love tall guys, too, so.
B
Yeah, my average is like a nice six, four and up.
A
Right.
B
Tallest. I've been with six one.
A
Right. And you wear heels.
B
Mr. 610. Call me. Yeah, I mean, he's overseas playing basketball right now.
A
I was gonna say, it's got to be hard to find. Find a 6 tenner. What's the weenie on that? Look like.
B
Oh, my goodness.
A
Literally.
B
Oh, Lord. It's giving medium rare. It's giving thick. It's giving stunning.
A
Okay.
B
It's giving statue.
A
What's the dirty. What's the dirtiest thing you searched on your phone last?
B
I'm gonna be a disappointment.
A
Okay.
B
I don't really search dirty things.
A
Right.
B
I'm. I'm someone that's really into pov. I love when people film me on my phone. Another man has never film me on their phone.
A
Yeah.
B
But on my Google searches, it's amazing.
A
That you've never let another man film you.
B
Hell no. And when they come over, your phone's in the car.
A
Wow. Do you make them sign NDAs? Absolutely. See, people get mad at me for making sign.
B
No, it's real. You have to.
A
You have to protect yourself, dude.
B
And you also know when you've been doing this for a long time as ex prostitutes, you know someone's energy.
A
Absolutely.
B
Whether they're a band groupie, a normal girl on the street, or escort, you know if someone's trying to be fishy.
A
Yeah.
B
And you don't think we know if someone's trying to pull.
A
But even if they're not trying to be fishy at that time, they might later don't have your time or your attention. Then they get shady.
B
Wow.
A
Like, that's how people are.
B
That's a big statement.
A
It's so fucked up. What's the worst thing you've ever sent to the wrong person? We airdrop people on planes just fucking around all the time. We fudgeing. Well, like screenshot nasty.
B
When something is near something I have. But thank God it was with a friend.
A
Right.
B
Of like, here's a wiener in my mouth. Right. Like that could ruin my. Not to me. It wouldn't ruin my career. People would actually like that. Yeah. But like, you want to see a picture that Jay took?
A
Sure, I would love to.
B
This is on a little private jet moment.
A
I'm like, I would love to.
B
Yeah. And obviously I'm like, hey, would, you know, do. Are you down to take a photo? Because there's. There's weird artists. Like, there's the R. Kelly side and then there's like your. Your friends and you all have fun side. Okay.
A
Yeah.
B
We're in the very fun side of life. When we're in the private jet and the sky is just blinging. It just looks stunning.
A
Whose wiener is that? All I saw was dick.
B
Isn't that cute?
A
The body it was attached to?
B
Yes. That is a huge wiener, isn't that cute?
A
Goodness. Yes, yes, it's very cute.
B
It's beautiful, right? But I love. And I'm really into, like, a nice 12.
A
That is huge.
B
Yeah.
A
Do you take that?
B
So my maximum of deep throating and I'll admit this on Bunny's show, is a 12 inch right after that. I can't take anymore.
A
I mean, that's 12 inches is a lot. Do you take that?
B
This folder is banging.
A
All right, let's finish these questions.
B
Oh, my God. Look at these Fendi glasses.
A
Good Lord.
B
Okay.
A
It was beautiful. That was a beautiful penis. That was a different penis, right?
B
Oh, way different.
A
Okay. I was like, that one's gorgeous.
B
Those are three.
A
I need to see who that's attached to later. Okay. I'm literally getting for clips for Klempt.
B
Over here, who's not doing merch right now.
A
Jack from Sleeping With Sirens. He's over over here.
B
Never hooked up with him either. But a lot of his friends, we.
A
Were trying to put.
B
He's too short.
A
We were trying to put bets on Alex or Jack. I was like, neither.
B
On God. Neither. Yeah. Too short. We'll bleep. They're both too short.
A
Yeah.
B
No, you don't have to bleep it out, cuz I didn't.
A
He said too short. What's the grossest thing that comes out of your. That has came out of your body?
B
Huh? I'm usually really quick.
A
I stumped Jeffrey.
B
Huh?
A
Jay's like, I know.
B
I'm like, I know because I'm like. I'm very like. I'm so, like, I never sweat, I never smell. I'm so, like a clean person. Like, coming out is like, I got hair transplant surgery. So seeing my. So seeing my skin, I know this is the answer people want, but seeing the skin removed while you're awake and then having it because you're giving yourself an organ transplant.
A
Yeah.
B
And then seeing it move to the front was crazy.
A
Was that painful?
B
Yeah, it was. And worth every penny.
A
Worth every penny. My husband wants that.
B
And I'm like, baby, my doctor's the best in America.
A
Okay. Oh, he's out here.
B
Yeah. It takes like, two or three weeks to heal. So when he's on the next album or doing something not on tour, amazing time to do it.
A
All right, I'll talk to him about it.
B
Yes.
A
All right. We got you hooked up, daddy.
B
We got you, baby. Dr. Ziering, we love you.
A
All right. Would you rather make out with a dude who choose tobacco or go down on a girl on her period?
B
Period? Girl in A period his face.
A
I said the same thing because they could keep a tampon in. You know what I'm saying?
B
Period. Exactly.
A
And then I just.
B
The Wyoming and all the chew. Disgust.
A
Yeah. Chews gross. Or how they stink. Bottles.

A
No, it was a big.
B

So that was like a ten and a half.
A
I love how happy you look with a dick in your mouth, though. Like, you literally, like. It's.

A
Not yet.
B
So in the future I don't honestly.
A
Know like you did with Tick Tock.
B
I don't have the desire to right now.
A
Yeah, absolutely.
B
Is there a tutorial coming of me at the 12 inches? I think that would be hot.
A
I think somebody we need that tutorial because I was told by an ex that he was the best head he ever had and I'm pretty. I like to pride myself. I I can't believe that cuz it's a. Listen, this dude has a little baby arm is what I call it. It's like a huge.
B
Anacondas have nothing on me.

Thank you guys for tuning in to another episode of Dumb Blonde. I will see you guys next week.
B
Bye.
Date: November 20, 2025
Host: Bunnie XO
Guest: Jeffree Star
This deeply candid episode brings together two outspoken icons: Bunnie XO of the Dumb Blonde podcast and the legendary Jeffree Star. The pair dive into complex, hilarious, and sometimes rawly honest territory—unpacking Jeffree's upbringing, trauma, early sex work, internet stardom, self-destruction, reinvention, business success, rural life, and ultimate self-acceptance. With laughs, confessions, and a notable lack of filter, the conversation showcases both the resilience and realness behind Jeffree's headline-making persona. If you think you know Jeffree Star, you haven't heard him quite like this.

“I taught myself everything from the ground up. There was a makeup—I mean, I’m in LA, there’s makeup labs everywhere. People want to work with me, but… I have no investor… I’m still a hustler. Hello.” — [49:48]
On Never Apologizing for Survival: “I’m never ashamed, ever… people think that we should be ashamed for what we had to do to survive. I’m never gonna apologize.” — [24:24]
On Legacy:
“I’m actually proud of myself, so it’s so cool that you said that, because I never really talk about that… I wake up every day like it’s my last, and I just go hard.” — [75:40]
Blunt, riotous, confessional, and fiercely survivor-driven—with moments of real vulnerability and empathy, especially as the conversation veers from comedy to trauma and back again. Both hosts eschew shame, choosing honesty even when it hurts, and demonstrate what resilience—and self-made success—looks like behind viral posts and dramatic headlines.
This episode is a must for anyone interested in the realities behind internet fame, the grit needed to survive both trauma and stardom, and how reinvention is possible no matter your origins. From self-harm and celebrity betrayal to yaks and sexual humor, Jeffree Star shows—alongside Bunnie XO—that realness and raw honesty are truly healing, and ultimately, contagious.
