The beauty guru said in the past he has been known for acting out of anger, frustration, and his emotions. He said, “I’m so quick to grab my phone and just say whatever’s on my mind at that moment, without ever really thinking the ramifications of my words, my actions.”
Jeffree said he has really reflected on his actions by keeping mum about the drama. He said it has been really important that he understands everything he was a part of and what he did wrong. The makeup mogul said he has never tried to bring anyone down and he is not a villain in some movie. Jeffree said that a lot of things that have been said are not true.
