Kim Kardashian has had a great deal of back and forth with her fans and makeup artist Jeffree Star in the past 24 hours, as the reality star came to the defense of Star and then apologized for involving herself with the situation.
On Monday, Star criticized Kardashian’s new KKW Beauty makeup swatches and received a bit of backlash from Kim K’s loyal fans because of it, so Kardashian came to his defense, despite his public history of racist remarks. Though Kardashian stood by Star on Monday, on Tuesday (Aug. 15) she spoke out yet again, apologizing for hurting her fans.

Originally, Star had made the comment that Kardashian’s new line of swatches look “like chalk,” which prompted a number of her fans to attack him on social media, pointing out his past of making offensive racial comments. Kardashian then told her fans to stop and shared several videos in his support in which she said, “I get that it’s a serious deal if you say, like, racial things, but I do believe in people changing and people that apologize, I will give them the benefit of the doubt.”

Kardashian posted, ”Love you, Jeffree…I do not defend people who are racist, and I’m very against it. If someone claims that they’ve changed, I’d love to give them the benefit of the doubt…Enough, just don’t bring it up anymore.”

Kardashian, herself, brought it up again, though, after she received criticism for supporting Starr in the first place. In an attempt to cool over the situation, the star apologized on Tuesday to her fans for ”defending a situation [she] didn’t know much about.”
In the most recent video, Kardashian explains she is sorry for “feeling as if [she] had the right to say get over it in a situation that involves racism” and hopes going forward she and fans can move forward, be positive, and spread love.
