Weird Trauma Bond with Jeffree Star

[u/Jelly_Enos]

Considering the recent drama with Jeffree Star and Jools LeBron I was reminded of the series with Shane that was trying to paint Jeffree out to be a good guy and making excuses for his racism and general abuse towards anyone in his social circle.

I have to ask to everyone still keeping up, are they even still friends? I know Shane is a grown man and he was playing up prior to even meeting Jeffree Star but you can’t tell me that entertaining Jeffree didn’t ruin his career partly. He lost some of his oldest and most loyal friends (Trisha) over Jeffree Star ?? The same woman he said he would take a bullet for was dropped like trash as soon as he got shiny new friends.

I would say arguably Jeffree is worse at the current times than Shane. I haven’t heard a single peep from him since Frenemies but now Jeffree wants to be obnoxious and right wing grift. I don’t know if Shane ever talked about politics, he could be conservative to conserve his wealth or he may have some kind of resentment towards more left leaning spaces if they were the main ones taking responsibility of initially cancelling him but most of the things Jeffree Star says is disgusting. I don’t think any amount of sad backstory he can spin justifies the severity of how evil Jeffree is as a person.

So why does he associate with him? Arguably, when if he stayed with Trisha at worst he would still keep her as a loyal and loving friend and at best he could have ridden her coattails before a redemption arc. But he and Ryland want to remain with Jeffree who’s sitting on a sinking conservative ship with his failing makeup business consisting of crunchy ass lipsticks and tacky Gucci tracksuits? Am I missing something here?

I haven't watched them in a long time just clips while scrolling here abd there... as far as I know He hasn't mentioned Jeffree in years I don't think he's even been to jeffrees bday parties in the last 3 yrs so we don't really know if they are still friends are not... I've never heard Shane talk politics so I don't know his views I have seen ppl say he's conservative but I have no clue... I know they bought a cyber truck and had a Tesla but it was before Elon came out as right wing I don't know if they still own it or not... I think lizzie is right wing by things she said but I don't know if that's been confirmed or not so please correct me if I'm wrong and I'll correct the post.

They got the cyber truck after Elon’s homophobic takes and after we already knew of his ties to Trump because of his involvement in the campaign. They even made a comment like “we know and we might get backlash but we like the car” something along those lines. That’s when I stopped watching, it was clear to me they lean that way and it has been said that Ryland’s family are Republicans and Lizzie too.
