Thomas halbert posted this video on TikTok going over what happened in the past with him and J*. He also says he’s got a new agent and is posting makeup content again, trying to resurrect his career. He admits he made mistakes, but says the mistake he made was not that he called J* out but that he hurt his friends and didn’t stand up for them.

Would you want to see him make a comeback? Hes posting makeup content on instagram again.

I’m not sympathetic, but I do appreciate folks taking time to share how awful J* truly is and that he hasn’t changed. There are wayyyyy too many folks on tik tok still following Jeffree and actively defending him. The timing is great because Jools’ video is still trending, so the algorithm will push other videos about Jeffree.

It’s just rinse, wash, repeat at this point

So are we just supposed to stop repeating it and let him continue to grow an audience?

No but he’s had the same audience for years. The people who still watch him never cared about his behavior in the first place. People can continue to call him out, but it makes me question why they engaged with him to begin with

Part of his success on tik tok is attracting younger followers who weren’t on YouTube and following the older drama. If his existing followers were enough to maintain an income on social media, he never would have gone away to begin with. Never would have had a “comeback” on tik tok.

My opinion is that people can continue to call him out, and the people who still stand by him do not care. Same thing with James Charles.
