She wrote:

“After years of making excuses for and rationalizing Jeffree’s inappropriate behavior (including promoting drug use, racism, and bullying) I can no longer hold my tongue after recent events. And I know that over the years, many of you were introduced to Jeffree through me, and regardless if you chose to continue to follow him or not, I just would like to dissociate myself from him and his brand from this point on. I plan on posting a video explanation as to why I felt compelled to make such a statement. But for the time being, I simply want to apologize to anybody and everybody who has ever had to deal with any of his negativity. And yes, with a heavy heart, I will be pulling the shade ‘Jeffree’ from my collection. Sending extra love to everyone out there.”

The video of Kat Von D

Kat also uploaded a 14 minutes video on YouTube in which she spoke about the exact reason for the closure of her friendship with Jeffree. It was titled It’s so much easier to do the right thing. She said that the exact reason for the breakup was that Jeffree had not paid her friend and fellow artist BJ Betts who helped Jeffree design the logo of one of his makeup brand.

He also did not acknowledge Betts for it. Jeffree even blocked Betts’ phone number. When Kat intervened, Jeffree told her to be away from this matter and blocked her phone number as well. So things came to a head and at that point, the friends split.
