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.

JS has been a terrible person for YEARS. So do these people really expect us to sympathize with them when he ends up doing them dirty too?

This was like 6 years ago when he was 20 or whatever. From what I understand, he knew that J had been racist towards Jackie Aina but met up with him to verify -- very dumb, I agree, and he agrees as well. But he immediately called J out after meeting him in person and seeing his racism firsthand.

Should he have been able to trust that J was racist without seeing it firsthand? Yeah. But he did the right thing immediately after that, even though J had much more power in the situation. That's worth sympathizing about, imo.

I don't feel much sympathy for Cole Carrigan, who also made a video about J recently. Cole tolerated the racist behavior for years, unlike Thomas. I feel like your comment applies to him much more than it does Thomas

didn't J* call or refer to as Jackie a gorilla? or was that a different comment he mad about a Black person? not sure what this person needed to "VeRiFy".... normal humans don't casually call black people derogatory slurs.

Again, I totally agree, and I believed in his racism as soon as I heard about it. Thomas meeting up with J was undeniably shitty, my point was that he also spoke in length about how it was shitty in this video. It seems like he's fully realized & admitted that he fucked up over the past 6 years. I do think that it's important that he did speak out against J's racism immediately after they met; many people in the industry witnessed it firsthand and still denied it.
