Notably, colors called "Celebutard," "Underage Red," and "Selektion," - a word used for the "selection" of Jews in Nazi Germany - were considered questionable and disrespectful, but Von D refused to apologize for them. Several years after the launch of the Kat Von D brand, the mogul received strong backlash for numerous lipstick shade names. Star and Dawson both denied the allegations, and Westbrook decided to take a year-long hiatus from YouTube in the aftermath. She accused Dawson and Star of becoming obsessed with ruining Charles' career because they were "bitterly jealous of James' success" (via Elle). ![]() ![]() However, in June 2020, Westbrook posted a Youtube video explaining that she had been manipulated by YouTubers Shane Dawson and Jeffree Star to post her original "Bye Sister" video. The drama seemed to fizzle out by the end of 2019, and most everyone assumed it was over. The feud held its flame for the upcoming weeks with back-and-forth videos and tweets between everyone involved, but both Charles and Westbrook soon decided to take a step back from the series of events and stay quiet for a while. While Jeffree Star continued to share tweets about Charles that claimed his apology video was a lie, Charles continued to lose more and more followers, including the Kardashian/Jenner crew, Demi Lovato, Ariana Grande, and Miley Cyrus.
