Jeffree Star who has built a beauty empire was earlier a MySpace celebrity and now he is being accused of sexual assault, groping, physical violence and offering hush money during those days, as per an exclusive investigation by Insider. While it was known that Star would indulge in racist outbursts, Star's former friends, peers, and associates told Insider that he has a history of physical and sexual when he was at the height of his Myspace fame and some of these allegations are extremely serious involving homeless teenagers.

However, these allegations have been vehemently denied by Star's attorney and they reject the physical and sexual violence mentioned in the Insider article. While calling the accusations "false and defamatory" they denied all the allegations. Messages obtained by Insider also showed two of Insider's on-the-record sources discussing a $10,000 payout offer from Star to recant their allegations.
Jeffree Star has been in the world of media and entertainment right from the MySpace days, where he was known for his love for music and bold personality. From being the most followed person on MySpace to becoming a billionaire businessperson, Star has come a long way. HOWEVER, these allegations change the entire narrative. Not only are these allegations shocking but can put him behind bars if proven. While Jeffery Star has kept a stance where he says that these allegations are false, if the proofs leak out, the beauty mogul might find himself in deep trouble.
