Aside from Twitter, Jeffree also used Snapchat and Instagram to share how he's been feeling since the accident. He said, "I hate taking pills, but the pain this morning was the worst I've ever felt since the accident."

Social Media Users Accused Jeffree Star of Faking His Car Accident for Publicity
The beauty influencer, who has a luxurious lifestyle that hints at a crazy-high net worth, says that he is still very much in pain. But some people speculate that his stories don't all add up. One person questioned why Jeffree has been able to walk around in videos he's shared on social media if he has a broken back. Another fan chimed in, saying, "now how did Jeffree Star's car flipped three times, and none of them have bruises and scratches on their skin."

Jeffree Star 'Cremated' Palette Controversy
Millions of people have been sick, thousands of people are dying, and most of the global population stays at home and isolates to help flatten the curve. So many fans were disappointed to see that Jeffree's palette was called Cremated, as they thought it was insensitive and tone-deaf in light of everything going on. While Jeffree delayed the release of his palette, some people wished he delayed it even longer, like this fan who wrote, "People keep pointing out he trademarked it back in 2019, but I feel like its an insensitive name regardless. But the situation right now makes it worse; he could've delayed the release if anything."
However, others came to Jeffree's defense, writing things like, "I think you're looking into that way too literally. It's a phrase he uses, same as when he said 'I'm deceased' which is a shade name in one of his palettes."
Many media outlets began to cover the palette release because it was controversial. The beauty influencer hopped back on YouTube with a video titled "Responding to the Backlash Over My Cremated Palette," where he talked about all the backlash he's faced over the palette's name.
He explained that palettes take many months and sometimes even a year or more to make. The palette was created and named back in 2019, long before people dealt with this global crisis. The YouTube star explained that he never had any malicious intent behind the controversial name. He also shared that cremation is a tradition in his family. Finally, he explained that the palette had already been produced, and he didn't want to wait much longer to put it out partially for logistical reasons like the expiration dates. It's no surprise that his name has become a source of controversy.
