KAT VON D DISASSOCIATES HERSELF FROM FRIEND JEFFREE STAR IN LENGTHY SOCIAL MEDIA POST





Kat Von D wanted the whole world to know that she was no longer associating herself with pal Jeffree Star, singer and makeup artist, so she took to social media to announce the break in their friendship late on Monday night, July 18, 2016.
"After years of making excuses for, and rationalizing Jeffree's inappropriate behavior (including, promoting drug use, racism, and bullying) I can no longer hold my tongue after recent events," she wrote in an Instagram post. "I know that over the years, many of you were introduced to Jeffree through me, and regardless if you chose to continue to follow him or not, I just would like to disassociate myself from him and his brand from this point on."
With that, Kat also promised to elaborate on the reasons for her public announcement in the coming days.
"I plan on posting a video explanation as to why I felt compelled to make such a statement. But for the time being, I simply want to apologize to anybody and everybody who has ever had to deal with any of his negativity," the 34-year-old said.
The tattoo artist, who has her own makeup line, even dedicated a shade of her Kat Von D lipstick to Jeffree, but now says she'll be discontinuing the color.
"And yes, with a heavy heart, I will be pulling the shade "Jeffree" from my collection," she continued.
Finishing, "Sending extra love to everyone out there."
Jeffree was quick to reply to Kat's message, also jumping onto social media with a series of posts.
He claimed that she got upset when he came out with his own cosmetics brand.
Kat and I texted a few days ago after 6 MONTHS of silence. She never supported me or my brand and got distant when I launched mine.

Jeffree called the whole ordeal "sad and gross" and decided to step away from it all.
This whole situation is sad and gross. I don't need to clap back or make a video about someone's post. It's getting trite.

Instead of feeding into negativity and internet fights, I'm going back to the real world and off to enjoy the rest of my day <3

But, Kat didn't back down. In response to his string of tweets, she accused Jeffree of stealing artwork from her.
We'll just have to wait and see how things play out between Kat Von D and the Jeffree Star Cosmestics creator.

To mark his birthday and his achievements, Saturday’s Google Doodle honored Shannon, depicting him juggling a set of ones and zeroes, the numbers he used to transform computing after learning they could be used to represent words, pictures, videos and more. While he was a research assistant at MIT, Shannon drew from Boolean algebra to pioneer digital computing, using the value of “1” for circuits turned on, and the value of “0” for circuits that were off.

Hillary Clinton Gains Double-Digit Lead Over Donald Trump in Key Battleground States

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton has built up a significant lead in several crucial battleground states, according to new NBC/WSJ/Marist polling released today. Clinton has generated double-digit margins in Virginia and Colorado with 13-point and 14-point advantages over Trump, respectively. The poll also showed Clinton with leads over Trump in Florida and North Carolina. In the Sunshine State, Clinton has a 5-point edge among registered voters. In North Carolina, Clinton enjoys a 9-point advantage. Losses in these states could be devastating for Trump. The Republican nominee’s clearest path to the White House requires wins in Ohio and Florida, where Hillary Clinton has a slight lead, as well as North Carolina and Pennsylvania, where he trails by a broad nine percentage points. Trump has been plagued by controversy since his party’s convention three weeks ago, clashing with the father of a fallen Muslim soldier, refusing to endorse House Speaker...

Jill Stein on 11 key issues: Where does Green Party presidential candidate stand?

Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein presents herself as a viable alternative this year to the two major-party candidates, who have the lowest approval ratings of any presidential nominees in the past seven decades. Stein, 66, of Lexington, Mass., is making her second bid for president on the Green Party ballot line. The Harvard-educated doctor received almost 500,000 votes for president in 2012, which she boasts is still the record for most votes received by a woman candidate for president in the general election. Stein says she became involved in politics more than a decade ago because she didn't like the country's direction, and had become alarmed about children becoming ill from environmental pollution and unhealthy foods they are provided. She and running mate Ajamu Baraka support a "Green New Deal" under which the government would end dependence on fossil fuels, fight climate change and create millions of new green-energy jobs. Here...
