A few days ago, Jeffree Star posted an update on his youtube channel saying that for the time being, he is leaving California. For the first time in his life he is picking up and moving and setting down roots somewhere else, which, for the time being seems to be Wyoming, where he has his second home.
Yes, the place where he had the car wreck. You would think that Jeffree wouldn’t want to be anywhere near Wyoming since he had a car accident there, but it looks like California is the place he’s willing to leave behind in the end.
Jeffree Star is leaving California for the sake of his mental health
He says that his businesses, Jeffree Star Cosmetics and Killer Merch will still be California based, and that’s a smart move because there wouldn’t be much opportunities for either company out in Wyoming, where Jeffree is moving to. But Jeffree says that during quarantine he has had a lot of time to think about what he actually wants out of his life, and it seems that in the next step, California just isn’t in the cards for him.
He says that it was not an easy decision, he said it took him months to come to this conclusion. He says that the trouble all started in 2019, where even though it seemed he was winning professional, his personal life was in ruins.
He says he never quite healed from those losses. He lost two dogs, Daddy and Diamond, if you’re a longtime viewer you will know that both dogs were with him for almost the entirety of his youtube career (I think Daddy actually was, not so sure about Diamond.), and that he views the dogs like his own children, so it’s understandable that he would still be feeling their losses.
He also split with his longtime boyfriend, Nate, whom he calls the person that will probably be the only person that he’s ever truly in love with, in 2019. He says that eve though people are fond of drama and tea, that he is never going to talk about what went down between he and Nate, because he views his relationship as sacred, yes, the King of Tea is not going to spill any this time, not about this.
He says that the house is simply too big for him and that he’s had people live with him, his Mom, and various friends, but he feels the need to move on from a place that feels like a hotel. He says that filming the 2019 series with Shane Dawson was a good distraction, but ultimately he was simply burying himself in work and running from his problems and not addressing them.
He says that back then he wasn’t really ready to examine his problems, and that his ego thought that he needed a gigantic house, but the truth is he didn’t. Of his relationship he says that when he fell in love with someone he was able to truly love himself for the first time, but he feels like that moment has came and went, and that that’s okay. He has stopped dating for the moment.
He says he is ready to let go of so much, and focus on his inner happiness and peace. He says that 2020 was one of the only times he’s ever truly asked himself “should I even be alive?” and anyone who has gone through real trauma can relate to the question “what is my purpose?” very well.
While this definitely wasn’t an apology video, he did apologize for hurting people in his past, and while everyone can have their own opinion on that, I will say that it took guts to own up to the Regina George comparison on Jeffree’s part. We see you, Jeffree. He says that everything happens for a reason, and that he’s very embarassed by what all has happened, and last year he actually went and sought therapy.
This is a good thing, but he said it took him months to reach out and dial the number that his friend gave him because he was afraid. Again, this is pretty relatable, the thought of going to therapy can be intimidating for many people.
Jeffree says that he is actually happy again, and creating again, and is in a good place mentally. While he didn’t delve into the drama, or the tea, like we would have wanted, he does seem more genuine in this video than he has in videos past, also, the backbrace is off, so that’s a good thing.
Jeffree says that he is focusing on himself, specifically his mental health, and that he’s in a good place right now, but he’s quick to tell everyone that he’s human… thanks for the confirmation, Jeffree. Stay tuned!!!
