Woah, i just had a thought, when Kathleen Lights went to Jaclyn's house to do a collab, a few years ago and Jaclyn was constantly snapchating videos and Kathleen said a really bad word and someone said; "Dont post that", but jaclyn did post it and Kathleen got alot of deserved backlash for it and Jaclyn said she didnt hear it. That was the extent of it from Jaclyn but i think maybe she did it on purpose because she was jealous of Kathleen and wanted to ruin her reputation. Jaclyn can not be trusted and clearly has some big mental health issues. She just needs to be cancelled and this cult of Jaclyn needs to wake up. Also, its not surprising that Morphe and Jaclyn where in business together because they both loved screwing peoole over in this community.
That’s right! Hurricane Jaclyn has left a wave of attempted destruction throughout the beauty community. What’s scary is that she’s able to do so without much blow back on herself for a while. That’s a mastery of manipulation. She knows exactly who she is and what she does.
Oooo I never thought of that! While Kathleen never EVET should have said what she said, Jaclyn shouldn’t have posted it. Especially if she said “don’t post that/it”. Like why would you post it if that word was even said? Ugh. Karma is coming form Jaclyn. Slow but surely & I cannot wait for the day it all hits her.
Yeahhhh. There seems to be a pattern here.... I don’t understand why you would post a Snapchat video of someone ranting about somebody else in a private environment, maybe just venting, and then say that it’s somehow an accident, or you didn’t post it with “ill intent”. OK so what was the intent, cauuusssseee 👀👀
The problem with Manny is he is inauthentic and wants to be with the ‘in’ crowd whatever stage of life he is at. If that means stabbing Jen G at the back, at that time, so be it. Look at him promoting and lying on his JC painted review. Why Manny why ? Your products are great, you have been forgiven and accepted by the community, and yet here you go again🤦🏽♀️
@@heatherjones1307 Becca. Makeup geek. Gone. Sigma? Who's she? Jaclyn cosmetics? Bankruptcy. Morphe. Bankruptcy. Jaclyn Roxanne? Gone. Koze? Ruined another woman's business and just threw it away. She does not have a good track record. Koze? Gone.
I have a suspicion she's not even a hundred thousand-aire right now. She owes a bunch of property tax or something and I think she's got significant money troubles.
@@FlailTVshe did a video a while but about her being a shopaholic , she still trying to live how she did before but no one wants to work with her no more and she lost so many fans , all that money will be gone in 10 years max
I don't believe Jaclyn has EVER actually created anything. Companies let her choose from their products & slap her face/name to it. Just like her jewelry...I'm suppose to believe she created each piece? Na. She was given pre-made designs to choose from for her line. Same with Koze. Just pick a product and call it yours 🙄
For real! I saw the email exchange between Jaclyn and Marlena Stell… I feel so bad for Marlena! Jaclyn is such a bad businesswoman. It must’ve felt like pulling teeth to get her to choose the shades she wanted in the palettes 🙄
I said in another video that she uses “create” the same way Amber Heard uses “pledge”. Slapping your name and face on someone else’s IP is the exact opposite of “create”. I just picture her in that pan coat after the lipstick debacle. Does she think she’s a scientist, too?
I said on a previous video I didn't think Jaclyn was intentionally malicious, I thought she was just stupid. I take that back. I think she's a shady, awful person out to get whatever she can from people.
Completely agree. I could've given her the slightest benefit of the doubt with the makeup geek situation. That she was at best, just really dumb and lacked courtesy. But the Gerard situation? You have to be extremely delulu to think you're owed anything and to weaponize a relative piece of drama just to get your way. Malicious is the only way to describe such behavior.
Jaclyn posting the unflattering video of KathleenLights makes even more sense now hearing how jealous she was. Plus, in regards to Manny, it’s also gross behavior to post an unflattering Snapchat when your friend asks you not to. That’s also fishy.
I don’t think Jaclyn Hill has a creative bone in her body. She’s a salesperson. Period. In the old days, she would have been selling snake oil on a traveling cart.
At this point, I'm inclined to believe, Jaclyn Hill and Karina Kaboom PLANNED THE WHOLE THING and Manny MUA ABSOLUTELY knew what he was doing when he posted that Snapchat. I've never supported Jaclyn and I stopped supporting Manny. This whole thing disgusts me. Let me go buy some Gerard Cosmetics.
Yup. I'm in the same boat boycotted Gerard way back when and then Manny later when he caused drama with his friends. Will pay attention to what Gerard Cosmetics puts out now. I don't see any beauty influencers showcasing them, so the brand has been forgotten.
Not forgotten. Emily D Baker…not in the beauty space but a law TH-camr …mentions her lip glosses in every single video she does. That’s how I learned about her products.
Manny MUA has been messy from the start as well. He uses people to climb and insults his own followers. Then pulls the whole im changing and growing, buy my brand..
Okay, but in all seriousness, hasnt he actually changed? He admitted all the messy stuff he did that was wrong, why it was wrong, and hasn’t done it again as far as I know. I’m not saying you should like him or buy the brand but I don’t understand going out of your way to to give people crap who seem to have genuinely changed for the better
Totally and I don’t know how people can’t see that. He’s the worst and I’m glad I’ve been able to decipher this from the beginning. He’s another one that has been in my do not patronize list from the first time I saw him.
If it is him that they gossiped about, why does he still support her? Also, Manny, James, and Jaclyn earlier on all had the same intro … is or was that a Morphe thing???
As I got older, I stopped spending time with people that think vicious gossip is okay. I don’t like it and I don’t like the way it makes me feel. Of course Jaclyn Hill is one of those people. Of course.
I still see so many I used to be friends with not only being gossip bullies but they literally seek out gossip and meaness. I had to step away from a lot of friendships. It is nice to be away from it and to see it for how bad it can be and become.
@@Cosmo-XoXo I genuinely feel like negativity and toxicity makes our insides rot. Life is hard enough; why make it harder for someone else? I refuse to invite the bad juju into my space.
I watched Peter Monn's recent videos reacting to Jaclyn Hill and Jen Gerard. He made an excellent point about Jaclyn. She made her "I'm closing my brands" video 3 weeks ago. In the video, she talked about how she misses making makeup content and how she feels like a salesperson. Her next video was an "Amazon Favorites" video. And still no makeup content. If she missed it so much, then why isnt she making the videos again?
Because the laws changed and now they have to disclose what they actually brought, what is sponsored and what they got in “pr” She can’t do a makeup look without sponsors and lying about an amazing product she has been paid to promote now
It's not even the first time she's said she's going back to making makeup tutorials etc. She's used that line over and over.and still continued to only sell her products every single video. She's always been phony.
I kinda think Manny posted the Snapchat on purpose. He is shady and has always been a social climber. Jaclyn is even worse and has bullied and gaslighted anyone who’s gotten in her way. Great video Jen! Loved it 💓
@@nicanonymus2491 Honestly it really stumps me lol, usually I can be a pretty good “devils advocate“ and see the other side of things but like … 🧐🧐 what was the reason Manny 😂
Jen is one of the kindest people in this industry! I know her personally and she really is a gem…she would give anyone the shirt off her back. She’s an angel ❤
@@triciac.5078 Haha! Yeah, I don't know YWP (Nicole). I met her once VERY briefly many years ago, but she probably doesn't even remember. It was super fast.
Jaclyn is a bully ....i cant believe this is happening....women has to move mountains to get their equal rights.... Instead of supporting one another....woman tearing down another woman.... seriously, do better Jaclyn otherwise Karma will!!
It seems like Karma’s already working overtime to catch up to her shady ass. The fact that this is her default setting is concerning to me. She got away with this for way too long.
I find it difficult to believe that as social media savvy as Manny is/was, he had no idea, and left it up for 18 hours. Not buying it. It’s nice to finally see Jaclyn Hill get her karma.it’s not enough, but it’s a start. The amount of hurt and destruction she’s left in her wake is horrible.
I bet Jen Gerard and her company would be a huge success if she rebranded and brought back some products in new and updated packaging. I would support her.
I just watched The Sesh yesterday. I love how they made the correlation between Jaclyn and all the companies that she had been a part of and had collabs with and all of them have either gone out of business or filed bankruptcy 😳 I know you have too but glad they did as well❤
Jaclyn wanted everything in text form as she was hoping Jen would say something “wrong” and she could post it as the reason she was stopping work with her…
As someone who has met Jen Gerard, I can truly say that she is a gem in this community. She has had quite a few blows, but she'll turn the other cheek and still offer support.
It’s honestly to a fault. I watched the interview feeling so bad for her. She’s constantly questioning and gaslighting herself, and I just wanted to shake her and say “Hey go get some therapy because you need to stand up for yourself” ❤
I really hope Jaclyn's supporters start seeing the truth. People like Jaclyn who crush others on their quest to the top don't deserve to be at the top. People like Jen and Marlena deserve to be there.
I USED to love her. I worked in upper management for Bath and Body Works, LUSH and Ulta in Florida through the early and teen 00’s. I tried probably 10 different times to get her to do a meet and greet at multiple different locations. She never responded to a single email. She didn’t have to, but she made it sound like she was hustling 24/7. It just rubbed me the wrong way allllllll those times, not a single response. All she had to do was show up and shake hands. I would have jumped on an opportunity like that in a heartbeat.
@@bronwyngavin6076 awww, that's sad. How hard would a "thanks but no thanks" email be? She really did always portray herself as non stop busy and working, but the truth came out that she was hardly involved in her products. The only creator I ever emailed was ijustine, and she emailed me back! Made me a lifelong follower of her
She had that shit piled up to one side, and she was holding it up with a blade of grass. All it took was Marlena coming forward. I just wish it had come out sooner. I thought she had some seriously bad luck, but it’s just the consequences of her actions coming to collect. She needs to go see if she can get any work as a MUA now.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but it looks like Alice Cooper wasn’t saying that transgender people are going to go into bathrooms and commit crimes. He said that cis men could take advantage of the situation, and is asking how do we prevent that danger while simultaneously respecting that some people are trans.
While he didn’t say “transgender people are committing crimes in bathrooms” he very clearly implied it. Context is important. That specific argument has been used countless of times to vilify trans people. It’s been used successfully for anti trans legislation. His earlier statement in the interview puts into question the validity of trans people. He then goes on to say “A guy can walk into a woman’s bathroom at any time and just say, “I just feel like I’m a bit of a woman today” and have the time of his life in there” I suggest looking more into this if you’re confused as to why it’s anti trans.
He was literally being so respectful, I was about to buy vampire cosmetics but I can't support an ableist company. He was clearly being respectful and only pointing out issues within the topic. We should be able to have a conversation about it.
I just finished watch The Sesh and I feel the Gaby situation is worse than the Koze situation. Yes, Gaby didn’t have to close her business, but Jaclyn (and others) went on and on about the whole copyright situation with Koze, yet Gaby DID have a trademark and it still didn’t make a difference! Yes, that was on Morphe, but Jaclyn could have done something!
Jaclyn’s relationship with Linda & Morphe seems to be the catalyst to her vampire behavior. It’s like Linda painted a picture of riches she could not resist & from that point on, any woman or company she was dealing with was done dirty. The failed launches, trademark ™️ issues & failure to address said issues appropriately all happened under Morphe’s watch so did she learn these practices from them? She claims not to be a sell out but her actions indicate otherwise.
i'm a transgender man who watches your channel, thank you for discussing the Alice Cooper situation. we are not a fad, my life has completely changed for the better after transitioning
The damage that was done to Gerard cosmetics was IMHO so big that even me, who started paying attention to beauty youtube in yearly 2016, I kinda became aware that Gerard Cosmetics was shady. I didn't even know how I became aware of it, it was just kinda in the air. And then two things happen - Emily D Baker started frequently mentioning their lip glosses in her videos AND I saw Jen's comment and that comment was so kind, sincere and sweet that it made me stop and think that if a brand owner can be so kind then their brand cannot be shady.
Jaclyn tried to gaslight Jen into making an apology video so that Jaclyn could drop a statement asap distancing herself from Gerard Cosmetics on the Karina Kaboom dramas coattails( not because of the drama but for selfish reasons 💰). Since Jen didn’t take the bait and Jaclyn didn’t get her easy way out that time she decided to demand the $250k. Since Jen flat out said no to Jaclyn, she went full Regina George and made the Snapchat video parting ways with Jen and destroying her brand at the same time.🎯
Wow Sanders Kennedy could keep a secret! I always wondered why people felt so comfortable to tell him things, but I can see he kept his integrity intact even with all the drama lol
Ive always been a fan of Jen G and watched the interview on The Sesh. Jen looked BEAUTIFUL and the entire podcast was great! AND the fact her 'Law Nerd' cup is up front.. 💜💜💜
Unbelievable!! I've had a somewhat negative opinion on JH for a long time, but this makes it overflowing! She's clawed her way to the top and didn't care who she hurt or destroyed in the meantime. How does this woman still have a platform????? I'm utterly speechless!
I don’t understand why they always bring up bathrooms as if there hasn’t always been gender neutral bathrooms in public spaces and it’s been just fine.
You know, this makes me so mad that I never bought anything associated with the big beauty TH-camrs because I don’t trust them but I was still influenced away from Gerard. This shows the power of influence! I think I will check them out.
Hope you’re feeling better Jen! I’m bummed about Alice Coopers colab. I was and still am a huge fan of his earlier music. He still rocks this 64 yr old gals heart! I love listening to Pandora’s Alice Cooper station and rocking out. 🤘🤘
I can’t wait until karma hits Jaclyn. I never thought of some of the incidents in the way they’ve been looked at until now. She comes off as extremely money-hungry & shady.
I think she’s done. I think she has paid for subs and buys positive comments. Unless the world is just a much shittier place than I think it is. I clicked on her “My Favorites” video, and it was literally ALL glowing, positive comments. There’s no way that she has that many devoted followers still. I refuse to believe that every horrible human in the world is a Jac Stan. There are companies you can pay for that sort of thing. It’s the only thing I can come terms with.
Ive actually never bought from Gerard Cosmetics because i always heard that Jen was a mean girl and a bully to other women in the community. Now i feel bad. I never said anything about them, but i just feel bad for writing them off because of a situation i really didnt know anything about.
I’m very glad Jen Gerard spoke up. I had no idea that this is the actual truth until all this starting coming out recently. I’ve never supported JH but I certainly didn’t know it went this deep!!! I will definitely support Gerard Cosmetics!
Jacklyn hill is the exact reason why I refused to watch all of beauty TH-cam until a couple of years ago. I thought everyone were snakes just like her.
I also tuned out as everything I watched was just bitchy ugliness. I dipped in and out of creators keeping in their own lane, and doing the work to get views and subs and not being controversial to get the numbers
Jaclyn would only communicate on text because she wanted it all in writing. Then she could clip out what was texted and use it against Jenn. That my friends is sick.
Jaclyn changed her addiction from alcohol and such to money and validation and just like any addict, eventually things turn against you and people that you've hurt will speak out. The self pity card doesn't work forever and people are finally tired. That's her intervention lol
Thinking about it, companies like Gerard Cosmetics have a lot to answer for. They try to make bank off the name of a famous youtuber/influencer by selling, say, a selection of cosmetics as the influencer's creation...when they aren't created by the influencer at all. Picked colors? Even a monkey can do that. But it's all hyped up as the influencer going through months and months of toil (it took 45 minutes, including signing the contract). Everyone involved wants customers to think the influencer devoted themselves to the product from start to finish. Nope. Smoke and mirrors. Lies and deception. The company rakes in money from dumb fans, and the influencer's ego and clout gets even larger. But when you come across a mercenary influencer like Jaclyn Hill, the scheme bites you in the ass. It goes from being a wink and a handshake to a shakedown. "I touched it, it's mine now. If you want it back, give me all the money. Also, this is no guarantee I won't ask for money again. Girlboss." I feel sorry for Jen Gerard but I also blame her and other business owners like her for making do-nothing influencers into the monstrosity they are today.
I knew I liked Jen Gerard from always seeing how kind she is in Emily’s chats. My respect for her has only grown. I love her lipglosses! I’m branching out and trying everything that lovely lady has! She is just so real and kind!
When Jen Luv said “Sanders knows about everything” i hollered!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂 it’s true! Back then, he literally has ALL THE TEA 😂 maybe because he’s the only beauty tmz at that time? 😂😂
I think he also had a rep for seeking out all sides, and being willing to kill stories if the “hero” (like Jen) begged. In journalism, that kind of reputation is how you get all the stories fed to you.
Not that he does not have his own issues but Jeffree Star called all these people out years ago but Jeffree had credibility issues. Jen Gerard is a respected businesswoman and has held this in most likely because Jaclyn tried used her power in the marketplace and legal team to silence her. Well that tactic only lasts so long and the truth will come out eventually. I applaud Jen for sharing her story and hope it gives her some peace to move forward.
I bought 1995 and then boycotted Gerard when I saw Manny's video. Wish Jen would have spoken up then and I don't understand how she could be cool with Manny when she told him not to post it.
I think Manny should speak up about this. Why did he do it? I personally don’t believe he didn’t do it intentionally or even less as a mistake. Also, I think JH wanted written messages to take them out of the context and use it against Jen.
Unless Jen asks him to, I don’t see a point for him to. People have already made up their minds about him (see other comments for this video!), and those folks aren’t going to change their mind because he says something like 1) he didn’t think of Snapchat as being “online” because it goes away after 24hrs (this was a common concept about Snapchat that was even promoted by the brand at one point, because the internet is forever but Snapchat isn’t, 2) he didn’t really even think about what he was doing because he was so chronically online, or even 3) he thought she meant something ELSE she said that none of us know about because he didn’t put THAT online. None of those will change the minds of anti-Manny folks, and his supporters don’t need a video about it. So unless Jen asks him to, in order to clear things up, what does Manny benefit? More hate comments, possibly having a few supporters drop their support, and…?
clicked the thumbs up bc you mentioned HEADBANGER'S BALL.... yes girl, and Alice Cooper just played in concert with Rob Zombie and Filter and Ministry! He's still rockin hard and so am I lol
Jacklyn had said that she had prayed over the “situation” and felt the she was doing what God wanted her to do… any time you use God’s name in your own favor and claim His name for whatever your own gain is and not for a great good you will face consequences. And look at her life. She just doesn’t get it. She keeps repeating the same behavior. Smh.
Jaclyn and her family started a church and are all founders of it so that they don't have to pay taxes on all the money they make. You can search and find many videos about it. I personally don't know anything about it, I've just seen videos talking about it.
I don’t know what more the Jaclyn stans need to hear or see to understand that she is not a good person. Everyone she has worked with has been burnt and with the exception of Gerard Cosmetics, every company she has collaborated with has gone bankrupt or closed down (Becca, Morphe and MakeUp Geek) - Jaclyn is a bad omen.
R.E.M. Beauty has come out this year at Sephora in Poland and I imagine in other European countries. We don't have Ulta or Morphe so it couldn't get worldwide before😉
I had just started wearing makeup and following Kathleen Lights and Jaclyn Hill when this all happened. I refused to buy Gerard Cosmetics after this. But I also stopped following Jaclyn when all she was pushing was Morphe.
So basically Jaclyn Hill and morphe stole a name in the past. So she knew that she could get away with stealing the Koze name from Kaitlin Nicholson and she knew that Kaitlyn didn't have the money to copyright 😔 WTF 😒 and in hindsight, she never even copyrighted the Koze name and now she's done with it 😮
Wow. The fact her using an established name before really shows she probably knew all about Koze. Since Becca dropped the suit due to money, someone in small business wasn’t going to be able to come for her about a not trademarked brand. That TM comment was a super dig.
Please start doing longer videos on specific headlines in the beauty space! Love your research and perspective. For example I'd love to see a 30min video on any one of the WUIM news topics
I came into the beauty community just as Jaclyn released that larger Becca collection, I never saw the snap chats or even knew it started with Jaclyn but I heard Gerard cosmetics was shady and I have never purchased anything from them because of that. I feel bad that i felt that way and it was based on lies 😔
Just saw Mikayla's Collab tik tok with Gwen...and someone needs to do a deep dive into Gwen's brand because they laid off ALL their inhouse employees a few months ago with no warning and it makes me so upset (as I knew a few people) yet now they have the budget to pay for Mikayla 😬 yikes.
I am old enough to remember the 70s. Being androgynous or gender bending was a thing. The Gap started as a store selling non-gendered clothing. Ok, it was men’s cut jeans and t-shirts really but we ladies wore them. Lots of famous people claimed to be bisexual and the men wore makeup and feather boas. I think it’s interesting because we are repeating history with the kids of the’70s generation. The thing is Post-‘70’s is when the aggressive blue and pink toys came out. So, watch for society to swing the other way!
It's so interesting to me how many people of an older generation, who were around in the heyday hair metal & David Bowie & Prince & all of those androgynous aesthetics, still believe that gender nonconformity is a "new" thing. The important distinction right now, I think, is that there is more language now for people who feel that expression is more integral to their identity... Like the difference between a woman wearing a tux as a fashion statement, VS a nonbinary person or trans man wearing a tux to express themselves. They're both awesome. But I think people saw the stuff in the 70s/80s as pure fashion or shock value, so there's a lack of understanding of gender variance on a fundamental level. Am I rambling or does any of that make sense?? Lol
@@ZijnShayatanica I think you’re rambling because it does not make sense. Because women in the 70’s were wearing gender neutral close to express themselves just as non-gender conforming individuals are today. Diane Keaton in the 70’s someone who comes to mind. It’s not different. It’s the same thing. It’s a rebranding of the concept.
@@The-real-Alex I agree that, for most people, it isn't different. As many trans people who are visible online, we're still a very small minority of the population. All I meant to convey is that many older generations seem to find this resurgence of gender expression as different - not that it is. And I was trying to "devil's advocate" why it might seem different. Both to them & also on the basis that it isn't solely fashion for some of us. But I didn't mean to diminish or counter your point at all!! Your point absolutely resonated for me. And Diane Keaton is absolutely an icon. 💕
Jaclyn is Jaclyn. I wonder how many other people she's steam rolled over. I always thought her just blowing up the way she did changed her, but the more i learn, the more it's apparent that its just who she is. And I'm sure she'll never change. Always going to be something with her. And if there happens to not be anything, she'll do a video of herself crying with some drama for attention. Always something with her.
Jen is so sweet and really supports those who use and rep her brand. I was so happy to find Slay All Day, because most setting sprays I tried had given me migraines. I won't use anything else. Then there is the liquid lip with it's mousse like texture that feels like you're not wearing anything on your lips. I wish her allthe best.
Well I always felt the all Astral Radiance thing looked like a huge scam, the weird instagram page with weird posts and badly written descriptions, the announcing a collab and then taking everything off the website and putting it back again... idk it was all fishy, it looked like those scam messages that we receive in Instagram
Jaclyn Hill always came off as inauthentic-could never understand how people loved her so much…
I agree. I'm glad I never supported her.
Never understood it either. Very fake person.
Agreed! I have never ever since day one many many years ago I saw her true colors and they are dark dark dark.
Yep Paige and Ali adore her so I quit watching them too
I completely agree. She didn't feel remorse moreso that people didn't agree with her lies and that she had to do extra videos on the scandals
Woah, i just had a thought, when Kathleen Lights went to Jaclyn's house to do a collab, a few years ago and Jaclyn was constantly snapchating videos and Kathleen said a really bad word and someone said; "Dont post that", but jaclyn did post it and Kathleen got alot of deserved backlash for it and Jaclyn said she didnt hear it. That was the extent of it from Jaclyn but i think maybe she did it on purpose because she was jealous of Kathleen and wanted to ruin her reputation. Jaclyn can not be trusted and clearly has some big mental health issues. She just needs to be cancelled and this cult of Jaclyn needs to wake up. Also, its not surprising that Morphe and Jaclyn where in business together because they both loved screwing peoole over in this community.

💯💯💯
I completely forgot about that. Such a horrible person
iirc they were playing a video game when Kathleen said the slur. It wasn't even directed at anyone in particular.
I love how Manny keeps saying that he doesn't want to be involved in drama yet always is in periphery of every drama
Yeahhhh. There seems to be a pattern here.... I don’t understand why you would post a Snapchat video of someone ranting about somebody else in a private environment, maybe just venting, and then say that it’s somehow an accident, or you didn’t post it with “ill intent”.

The people that say they don't like drama are usually the biggest shit starters. My niece is like that.
The problem with Manny is he is inauthentic and wants to be with the ‘in’ crowd whatever stage of life he is at. If that means stabbing Jen G at the back, at that time, so be it.

Just like her jewelry...I'm suppose to believe she created each piece? Na. She was given pre-made designs to choose from for her line. Same with Koze. Just pick a product and call it yours 🙄

She’s good at selling, nothing else. 🤷🏻♀️
For real! I saw the email exchange between Jaclyn and Marlena Stell… I feel so bad for Marlena! Jaclyn is such a bad businesswoman. It must’ve felt like pulling teeth to get her to choose the shades she wanted in the palettes 🙄
Jaclyn doesn't have a single creative cell in her body. The only thing she's good at is being a highschool mean girl and bullying people

At this point, I'm inclined to believe, Jaclyn Hill and Karina Kaboom PLANNED THE WHOLE THING and Manny MUA ABSOLUTELY knew what he was doing when he posted that Snapchat. I've never supported Jaclyn and I stopped supporting Manny. This whole thing disgusts me. Let me go buy some Gerard Cosmetics.
Yup. I'm in the same boat boycotted Gerard way back when and then Manny later when he caused drama with his friends.
Will pay attention to what Gerard Cosmetics puts out now. I don't see any beauty influencers showcasing them, so the brand has been forgotten.
Not forgotten. Emily D Baker…not in the beauty space but a law TH-camr …mentions her lip glosses in every single video she does. That’s how I learned about her products.
honestly i tried to give manny a chance but after seeing everything he done in 2023 it disappoints me,
@@michelehoward4113yes she does!!!! Love EDB ❤❤
ngl that's actually a good theory lol
Manny MUA has been messy from the start as well. He uses people to climb and insults his own followers. Then pulls the whole im changing and growing, buy my brand..
Okay, but in all seriousness, hasnt he actually changed? He admitted all the messy stuff he did that was wrong, why it was wrong, and hasn’t done it again as far as I know. I’m not saying you should like him or buy the brand but I don’t understand going out of your way to to give people crap who seem to have genuinely changed for the better
Totally and I don’t know how people can’t see that. He’s the worst and I’m glad I’ve been able to decipher this from the beginning. He’s another one that has been in my do not patronize list from the first time I saw him.
If it is him that they gossiped about, why does he still support her? Also, Manny, James, and Jaclyn earlier on all had the same intro … is or was that a Morphe thing???
@@colleenjennifer-lynnwho gossiped about who?
@@herefortheshrimp1469some of his recent actions are sus. Supporting Colleen Ballinger and James Charles.
As I got older, I stopped spending time with people that think vicious gossip is okay. I don’t like it and I don’t like the way it makes me feel. Of course Jaclyn Hill is one of those people. Of course.
Could not agree more!! It makes me feel completely gross! ❤💯
I still see so many I used to be friends with not only being gossip bullies but they literally seek out gossip and meaness. I had to step away from a lot of friendships. It is nice to be away from it and to see it for how bad it can be and become.
@@Cosmo-XoXo I genuinely feel like negativity and toxicity makes our insides rot. Life is hard enough; why make it harder for someone else? I refuse to invite the bad juju into my space.
I agree with u. But I also think this video is exactly that. I had to stop watching after a few min
One could argue that this is gossip...
I watched Peter Monn's recent videos reacting to Jaclyn Hill and Jen Gerard. He made an excellent point about Jaclyn. She made her "I'm closing my brands" video 3 weeks ago. In the video, she talked about how she misses making makeup content and how she feels like a salesperson. Her next video was an "Amazon Favorites" video. And still no makeup content. If she missed it so much, then why isnt she making the videos again?
Because the laws changed and now they have to disclose what they actually brought, what is sponsored and what they got in “pr”
She can’t do a makeup look without sponsors and lying about an amazing product she has been paid to promote now
It's not even the first time she's said she's going back to making makeup tutorials etc. She's used that line over and over.and still continued to only sell her products every single video.
She's always been phony.
I didn't know that Jaclyn had tried to steal a destroy other companies and not just Cozy, it's clearly calculated by her yikes.
I kinda think Manny posted the Snapchat on purpose. He is shady and has always been a social climber.
Jaclyn is even worse and has bullied and gaslighted anyone who’s gotten in her way.
Great video Jen! Loved it 💓
Same, why do you post someone venting about somebody else and then say there was “no ill intent” what was the intent then?
Especially because she said: „don’t post that…!“ Of course it was intentional! 🙄
@@nicanonymus2491 Honestly it really stumps me lol, usually I can be a pretty good “devils advocate“ and see the other side of things but like … 🧐🧐 what was the reason Manny 😂
Jen is one of the kindest people in this industry! I know her personally and she really is a gem…she would give anyone the shirt off her back. She’s an angel ❤
Truth!
@@jenluvLOL took me a bit to mean you meant Jen Gerard. Not yourself. 😁
@@triciac.5078 Haha! Yeah, I don't know YWP (Nicole). I met her once VERY briefly many years ago, but she probably doesn't even remember. It was super fast.
Jaclyn is a bully ....i cant believe this is happening....women has to move mountains to get their equal rights....
Instead of supporting one another....woman tearing down another woman.... seriously, do better Jaclyn otherwise Karma will!!
It seems like Karma’s already working overtime to catch up to her shady ass. The fact that this is her default setting is concerning to me. She got away with this for way too long.
I find it difficult to believe that as social media savvy as Manny is/was, he had no idea, and left it up for 18 hours. Not buying it.
It’s nice to finally see Jaclyn Hill get her karma.it’s not enough, but it’s a start. The amount of hurt and destruction she’s left in her wake is horrible.
She even said: „don’t post that…!“ He was a guest in her house and did this? Shame on you Manny!😠
@@nicanonymus2491 that never sat right w me.
Manny is very gossipy and shady. You get that vibe off of him instantly.
Oh my did yes. The fact that Jen thinks manny didn’t know makes me question her sanity. Like, come on girl, really?
I bet Jen Gerard and her company would be a huge success if she rebranded and brought back some products in new and updated packaging. I would support her.
I listened to her interview and she did say she was going to be bringing some of her old products back.
It would be cool to see a packaging update!
@@patientmarmalade4787I want Red Brick Road to come back. Such a beautiful red.
Jaclyn is such a snake. How she still has a platform is beyond me.
Jaclyn drama aside, Jen's looking like a whole bombshell today 😱 okay, gworl! Go off 🎉
I was thinking the exact same thing! Very Bonita today ❤️
I just watched The Sesh yesterday. I love how they made the correlation between Jaclyn and all the companies that she had been a part of and had collabs with and all of them have either gone out of business or filed bankruptcy 😳 I know you have too but glad they did as well❤
Jaclyn wanted everything in text form as she was hoping Jen would say something “wrong” and she could post it as the reason she was stopping work with her…
All of this makes me think back to the Kathleen Lights situations. Although Kathleen was wrong, JH definitely
posted the snapchat purposefully…
As someone who has met Jen Gerard, I can truly say that she is a gem in this community. She has had quite a few blows, but she'll turn the other cheek and still offer support.
It’s honestly to a fault. I watched the interview feeling so bad for her. She’s constantly questioning and gaslighting herself, and I just wanted to shake her and say “Hey go get some therapy because you need to stand up for yourself” ❤
I really hope Jaclyn's supporters start seeing the truth. People like Jaclyn who crush others on their quest to the top don't deserve to be at the top. People like Jen and Marlena deserve to be there.
I LOVED Jaclyn so much. I unfollowed her. I'm so tired of her and everything about her.
@@nickybenher595 nice to hear you've been paying attention. I used to love her too .. she really did the best tutorials.
@@nickybenher595this! Everything she has done is horrible and disgusting.
I USED to love her. I worked in upper management for Bath and Body Works, LUSH and Ulta in Florida through the early and teen 00’s. I tried probably 10 different times to get her to do a meet and greet at multiple different locations. She never responded to a single email. She didn’t have to, but she made it sound like she was hustling 24/7. It just rubbed me the wrong way allllllll those times, not a single response. All she had to do was show up and shake hands. I would have jumped on an opportunity like that in a heartbeat.
@@bronwyngavin6076 awww, that's sad. How hard would a "thanks but no thanks" email be? She really did always portray herself as non stop busy and working, but the truth came out that she was hardly involved in her products. The only creator I ever emailed was ijustine, and she emailed me back! Made me a lifelong follower of her
"As long as greed is stronger than compassion, there will always be suffering" - Rusty Eric. This quote fits perfectly for Jaclyn.
Of course Jaclyn only wanted to communicate via txt. It's so she could keep "receipts" and further hurt Jen.
Jaclyn Hill is just digging her own grave at this point 😐
She had that shit piled up to one side, and she was holding it up with a blade of grass. All it took was Marlena coming forward. I just wish it had come out sooner. I thought she had some seriously bad luck, but it’s just the consequences of her actions coming to collect. She needs to go see if she can get any work as a MUA now.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but it looks like Alice Cooper wasn’t saying that transgender people are going to go into bathrooms and commit crimes. He said that cis men could take advantage of the situation, and is asking how do we prevent that danger while simultaneously respecting that some people are trans.
This is how I read it too. 🤷🏼♀️ Hard to tell for sure without further context though.
Exactly. Big difference. He was pointing out that definitions and boundaries need to mean something.
While he didn’t say “transgender people are committing crimes in bathrooms” he very clearly implied it. Context is important. That specific argument has been used countless of times to vilify trans people. It’s been used successfully for anti trans legislation. His earlier statement in the interview puts into question the validity of trans people. He then goes on to say “A guy can walk into a woman’s bathroom at any time and just say, “I just feel like I’m a bit of a woman today” and have the time of his life in there”
I suggest looking more into this if you’re confused as to why it’s anti trans.
I think the rest of his statements provide all the context you need regarding his stance on the matter.
He was literally being so respectful, I was about to buy vampire cosmetics but I can't support an ableist company. He was clearly being respectful and only pointing out issues within the topic. We should be able to have a conversation about it.
I just finished watch The Sesh and I feel the Gaby situation is worse than the Koze situation. Yes, Gaby didn’t have to close her business, but Jaclyn (and others) went on and on about the whole copyright situation with Koze, yet Gaby DID have a trademark and it still didn’t make a difference! Yes, that was on Morphe, but Jaclyn could have done something!
Thankyou SO much for the shoutout Jen, and for pronouncing my name correctly!!! 👍🏻😁🙌👏🏻 that really means a LOT to me! Hope you feel better ❤ xxx 🌈
If he recorded it and uploaded it had to be for bad intentions
yeah, i can't see it as anything else than intentional shit-stirring tbh
Jen was right Karina's personality back then was mean. I couldn’t watch her because of it back then.
I mean she literally said she would sexually assault Sanders Kennedy on camera so yeah. She’s crazy lol
She destroyed Makeup geek
She destroyed Gerard Cosmetics and she destroyed Koze.
Jaclyn’s relationship with Linda & Morphe seems to be the catalyst to her vampire behavior. It’s like Linda painted a picture of riches she could not resist & from that point on, any woman or company she was dealing with was done dirty. The failed launches, trademark ™️ issues & failure to address said issues appropriately all happened under Morphe’s watch so did she learn these practices from them? She claims not to be a sell out but her actions indicate otherwise.
i'm a transgender man who watches your channel, thank you for discussing the Alice Cooper situation. we are not a fad, my life has completely changed for the better after transitioning
Jen Gerard is such a LawNerd 💜 All of that aside, she really is such a star in the cosmetics community and such a wonderful person in real life.
I've heard so many good things from her, and about her. I don't like watching Karina. She gave me a icky feeling watching her.
Awww thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️ I love the Law Nerds 💜
I caught that too😂
I know! I found out about her and Gerard Cosmetics through Emily and the Law Nerds! Made me happy to see that!
The damage that was done to Gerard cosmetics was IMHO so big that even me, who started paying attention to beauty youtube in yearly 2016, I kinda became aware that Gerard Cosmetics was shady. I didn't even know how I became aware of it, it was just kinda in the air. And then two things happen - Emily D Baker started frequently mentioning their lip glosses in her videos AND I saw Jen's comment and that comment was so kind, sincere and sweet that it made me stop and think that if a brand owner can be so kind then their brand cannot be shady.
Jaclyn tried to gaslight Jen into making an apology video so that Jaclyn could drop a statement asap distancing herself from Gerard Cosmetics on the Karina Kaboom dramas coattails( not because of the drama but for selfish reasons 💰). Since Jen didn’t take the bait and Jaclyn didn’t get her easy way out that time she decided to demand the $250k. Since Jen flat out said no to Jaclyn, she went full Regina George and made the Snapchat video parting ways with Jen and destroying her brand at the same time.🎯
Can we please stop letting manny get away with all the shit he does?
Jaclyn needs to cut her losses, leave the internet, and get a real job.
But then she would actually have to work. She seems lazy, in my opinion.
She wouldn't make it in the real world. She's too far gone.
I seriously don’t see how she could ever survive in the real world at this point
She’s sold her soul for money. If she was to quit today, she’d have more than enough money to comfortably retire unfortunately
I feel so bad for Jen Gerard. She seems like a really genuine,nice person.
I am here . Looking gorgeous Jen ❤
🤗🤗🤗
Not going to bias your perspective at all. Very neutral look at the story
Jens tenacity is unbelievable. Fire, Jaclyn, beauty community collapse.... She's still going. Heck yeah!
Wow Sanders Kennedy could keep a secret! I always wondered why people felt so comfortable to tell him things, but I can see he kept his integrity intact even with all the drama lol
Ive always been a fan of Jen G and watched the interview on The Sesh. Jen looked BEAUTIFUL and the entire podcast was great!
AND the fact her 'Law Nerd' cup is up front..
💜💜💜
How incredibly beautiful is she!! Inside & out 💜💜💜💜
Unbelievable!! I've had a somewhat negative opinion on JH for a long time, but this makes it overflowing! She's clawed her way to the top and didn't care who she hurt or destroyed in the meantime. How does this woman still have a platform????? I'm utterly speechless!
I don’t understand why they always bring up bathrooms as if there hasn’t always been gender neutral bathrooms in public spaces and it’s been just fine.
You know, this makes me so mad that I never bought anything associated with the big beauty TH-camrs because I don’t trust them but I was still influenced away from Gerard. This shows the power of influence! I think I will check them out.
So glad truths are coming out! Karma’s a bitch!
No, Karma is a mirror. 😂
Did anyone else exclaim, “I know that guy!” When Sanders was on 90 Day Fiance supporting his friend, Stephanie, a few years ago?!
Wait, WHAT???
@@jenluv Yes! His friend was on S4 of Before the 90 Days and he was on a few episodes.
@@kyliedunmire7280yes!!! I forgot about that.
Ohhhh my gosh THATS where I’ve seen him before 😂
Omg yessssssss
Before I go on with the video, I have to say you look stunning today ❤
Absolutely agree💞
Yes I love her in pinks and warmer colors.
Hope you’re feeling better Jen!
I’m bummed about Alice Coopers colab. I was and still am a huge fan of his earlier music. He still rocks this 64 yr old gals heart! I love listening to Pandora’s Alice Cooper station and rocking out. 🤘🤘
I can’t wait until karma hits Jaclyn. I never thought of some of the incidents in the way they’ve been looked at until now. She comes off as extremely money-hungry & shady.
I think she’s done. I think she has paid for subs and buys positive comments. Unless the world is just a much shittier place than I think it is. I clicked on her “My Favorites” video, and it was literally ALL glowing, positive comments. There’s no way that she has that many devoted followers still. I refuse to believe that every horrible human in the world is a Jac Stan. There are companies you can pay for that sort of thing. It’s the only thing I can come terms with.
Ive actually never bought from Gerard Cosmetics because i always heard that Jen was a mean girl and a bully to other women in the community. Now i feel bad. I never said anything about them, but i just feel bad for writing them off because of a situation i really didnt know anything about.
I’m very glad Jen Gerard spoke up. I had no idea that this is the actual truth until all this starting coming out recently. I’ve never supported JH but I certainly didn’t know it went this deep!!!
I will definitely support Gerard Cosmetics!
Jacklyn hill is the exact reason why I refused to watch all of beauty TH-cam until a couple of years ago. I thought everyone were snakes just like her.
I feel like 99% of the people on the top are snakes...
I also tuned out as everything I watched was just bitchy ugliness. I dipped in and out of creators keeping in their own lane, and doing the work to get views and subs and not being controversial to get the numbers
Strapped in and ready for this video😂 Oh boy….
Jaclyn would only communicate on text because she wanted it all in writing. Then she could clip out what was texted and use it against Jenn. That my friends is sick.
Jaclyn changed her addiction from alcohol and such to money and validation
and just like any addict, eventually things turn against you and people that you've hurt will speak out.
The self pity card doesn't work forever and people are finally tired.
That's her intervention lol
Thinking about it, companies like Gerard Cosmetics have a lot to answer for. They try to make bank off the name of a famous youtuber/influencer by selling, say, a selection of cosmetics as the influencer's creation...when they aren't created by the influencer at all. Picked colors? Even a monkey can do that. But it's all hyped up as the influencer going through months and months of toil (it took 45 minutes, including signing the contract). Everyone involved wants customers to think the influencer devoted themselves to the product from start to finish. Nope. Smoke and mirrors. Lies and deception. The company rakes in money from dumb fans, and the influencer's ego and clout gets even larger. But when you come across a mercenary influencer like Jaclyn Hill, the scheme bites you in the ass. It goes from being a wink and a handshake to a shakedown. "I touched it, it's mine now. If you want it back, give me all the money. Also, this is no guarantee I won't ask for money again. Girlboss."
I feel sorry for Jen Gerard but I also blame her and other business owners like her for making do-nothing influencers into the monstrosity they are today.
I knew I liked Jen Gerard from always seeing how kind she is in Emily’s chats. My respect for her has only grown. I love her lipglosses! I’m branching out and trying everything that lovely lady has! She is just so real and kind!
Imagine earning 600,000 in 13 months just for naming the lipsticks. Jeez! 🙀
When Jen Luv said “Sanders knows about everything” i hollered!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂 it’s true! Back then, he literally has ALL THE TEA 😂 maybe because he’s the only beauty tmz at that time? 😂😂
He used to tell me some of the things people would tell him . I was like whoa 😳
@@JenGerard that sound like Sanders Kennedy!! And also, OMG OMG OMG, hi Jen!! 😍😍😍.
I think he also had a rep for seeking out all sides, and being willing to kill stories if the “hero” (like Jen) begged. In journalism, that kind of reputation is how you get all the stories fed to you.
@@khills oh yeah. I forgot about that. If im not mistaken he IS a journalist.
Not that he does not have his own issues but Jeffree Star called all these people out years ago but Jeffree had credibility issues. Jen Gerard is a respected businesswoman and has held this in most likely because Jaclyn tried used her power in the marketplace and legal team to silence her. Well that tactic only lasts so long and the truth will come out eventually. I applaud Jen for sharing her story and hope it gives her some peace to move forward.
The krispy kreme x hailey bieber collab is sad to me because she probably doesn’t even let herself eat a donut :(
I bought 1995 and then boycotted Gerard when I saw Manny's video. Wish Jen would have spoken up then and I don't understand how she could be cool with Manny when she told him not to post it.
Probably because saying anything at all would have fed the drama fire.
@@omegasobsessions I see Jen's thinking in keeping quiet, but I wonder how many customers she lost because of it.
I haven't been a fan of Morphe for a long time, but after listening to Gaby's story, I will absolutely never buy from that company again.
I think Manny should speak up about this. Why did he do it? I personally don’t believe he didn’t do it intentionally or even less as a mistake. Also, I think JH wanted written messages to take them out of the context and use it against Jen.
Unless Jen asks him to, I don’t see a point for him to. People have already made up their minds about him (see other comments for this video!), and those folks aren’t going to change their mind because he says something like 1) he didn’t think of Snapchat as being “online” because it goes away after 24hrs (this was a common concept about Snapchat that was even promoted by the brand at one point, because the internet is forever but Snapchat isn’t, 2) he didn’t really even think about what he was doing because he was so chronically online, or even 3) he thought she meant something ELSE she said that none of us know about because he didn’t put THAT online. None of those will change the minds of anti-Manny folks, and his supporters don’t need a video about it. So unless Jen asks him to, in order to clear things up, what does Manny benefit? More hate comments, possibly having a few supporters drop their support, and…?
Jen saying ‘No release date” for Harry Styles perfume was classic.
I won't buy anything that involves Jared Blondino. That's a big no from me... don't care if it's the very best... I won't give him a nickel.
clicked the thumbs up bc you mentioned HEADBANGER'S BALL.... yes girl, and Alice Cooper just played in concert with Rob Zombie and Filter and Ministry! He's still rockin hard and so am I lol
I went to that show! It was amazing!
Jacklyn had said that she had prayed over the “situation” and felt the she was doing what God wanted her to do… any time you use God’s name in your own favor and claim His name for whatever your own gain is and not for a great good you will face consequences. And look at her life. She just doesn’t get it. She keeps repeating the same behavior. Smh.
Jaclyn and her family started a church and are all founders of it so that they don't have to pay taxes on all the money they make. You can search and find many videos about it. I personally don't know anything about it, I've just seen videos talking about it.
Wow- I also loved the song Poison and Alice Cooper. Sad to hear his position has changed to a less inclusive ideal.
I don’t know what more the Jaclyn stans need to hear or see to understand that she is not a good person. Everyone she has worked with has been burnt and with the exception of Gerard Cosmetics, every company she has collaborated with has gone bankrupt or closed down (Becca, Morphe and MakeUp Geek) - Jaclyn is a bad omen.
I loooove the sesh and i also lov that jen shouted you out and also kendall talked about how amazing of a person you are!
You did amazing! I had no idea you were sick until you said so at the end! I hope you're feeling better now!
R.E.M. Beauty has come out this year at Sephora in Poland and I imagine in other European countries. We don't have Ulta or Morphe so it couldn't get worldwide before😉
I hope you feel better Jen! Thanks for all you do!
I had just started wearing makeup and following Kathleen Lights and Jaclyn Hill when this all happened. I refused to buy Gerard Cosmetics after this. But I also stopped following Jaclyn when all she was pushing was Morphe.
So basically Jaclyn Hill and morphe stole a name in the past. So she knew that she could get away with stealing the Koze name from Kaitlin Nicholson and she knew that Kaitlyn didn't have the money to copyright 😔 WTF 😒 and in hindsight, she never even copyrighted the Koze name and now she's done with it 😮
There's an ad for me below the video for the Jaclyn Hill Morphe palette 😮
Hi Jen, I hope that you started to feel better. Take care of yourself, we can always wait. ❤
0% surprised. jh has always been 🗑️
Wow. The fact her using an established name before really shows she probably knew all about Koze. Since Becca dropped the suit due to money, someone in small business wasn’t going to be able to come for her about a not trademarked brand. That TM comment was a super dig.
Okay, if he doesn’t have a grungy perfume called sloppy seconds then he just isn’t trying.
If I were to associate any one individual with the term “Glazed Donut,” it would be NikkieTutorials, not Hailey or Miranda.
Please start doing longer videos on specific headlines in the beauty space! Love your research and perspective. For example I'd love to see a 30min video on any one of the WUIM news topics
I came into the beauty community just as Jaclyn released that larger Becca collection, I never saw the snap chats or even knew it started with Jaclyn but I heard Gerard cosmetics was shady and I have never purchased anything from them because of that. I feel bad that i felt that way and it was based on lies 😔
Really enjoyed this video. Thanks for all the updates! Hope you feel better fast ❤️ sending hugs and prayers 💖🙏
Just saw Mikayla's Collab tik tok with Gwen...and someone needs to do a deep dive into Gwen's brand because they laid off ALL their inhouse employees a few months ago with no warning and it makes me so upset (as I knew a few people) yet now they have the budget to pay for Mikayla 😬 yikes.
I am old enough to remember the 70s. Being androgynous or gender bending was a thing. The Gap started as a store selling non-gendered clothing. Ok, it was men’s cut jeans and t-shirts really but we ladies wore them. Lots of famous people claimed to be bisexual and the men wore makeup and feather boas. I think it’s interesting because we are repeating history with the kids of the’70s generation. The thing is Post-‘70’s is when the aggressive blue and pink toys came out. So, watch for society to swing the other way!
It's so interesting to me how many people of an older generation, who were around in the heyday hair metal & David Bowie & Prince & all of those androgynous aesthetics, still believe that gender nonconformity is a "new" thing. The important distinction right now, I think, is that there is more language now for people who feel that expression is more integral to their identity... Like the difference between a woman wearing a tux as a fashion statement, VS a nonbinary person or trans man wearing a tux to express themselves. They're both awesome. But I think people saw the stuff in the 70s/80s as pure fashion or shock value, so there's a lack of understanding of gender variance on a fundamental level. Am I rambling or does any of that make sense?? Lol
@@ZijnShayatanica I think you’re rambling because it does not make sense. Because women in the 70’s were wearing gender neutral close to express themselves just as non-gender conforming individuals are today. Diane Keaton in the 70’s someone who comes to mind. It’s not different. It’s the same thing. It’s a rebranding of the concept.
@@The-real-Alex I agree that, for most people, it isn't different. As many trans people who are visible online, we're still a very small minority of the population. All I meant to convey is that many older generations seem to find this resurgence of gender expression as different - not that it is. And I was trying to "devil's advocate" why it might seem different. Both to them & also on the basis that it isn't solely fashion for some of us. But I didn't mean to diminish or counter your point at all!! Your point absolutely resonated for me. And Diane Keaton is absolutely an icon. 💕
Jaclyn is Jaclyn. I wonder how many other people she's steam rolled over. I always thought her just blowing up the way she did changed her, but the more i learn, the more it's apparent that its just who she is. And I'm sure she'll never change. Always going to be something with her. And if there happens to not be anything, she'll do a video of herself crying with some drama for attention. Always something with her.
Jen is so sweet and really supports those who use and rep her brand. I was so happy to find Slay All Day, because most setting sprays I tried had given me migraines. I won't use anything else. Then there is the liquid lip with it's mousse like texture that feels like you're not wearing anything on your lips. I wish her allthe best.
Happy WUIM day!❤❤❤
I am SO proud of Jen Gerard! Wish I could give her & Gaby the biggest hug. Go support both of their brands! I did!💯🏆💗
I'm here for the tea ☕ Jen.
This is so disgusting. Jaclyn clearly doesn’t care about anything beside money, what a girls girl right?! How can anybody buy from her.
Well I always felt the all Astral Radiance thing looked like a huge scam, the weird instagram page with weird posts and badly written descriptions, the announcing a collab and then taking everything off the website and putting it back again... idk it was all fishy, it looked like those scam messages that we receive in Instagram
You look amazing! Would have never guessed you didn’t feel well. Hopefully, it was a quick recovery.
Thank you for covering this!
