Screenshots from YouTube Controversial influencer Jeffree Star appeared on YouTuber Logan Paul’s podcast on Tuesday. Star said in the episode that he owns around 100 guns, which he keeps at his Wyoming ranch.
He said he loves shooting and is “waiting for someone to trespass” on his property. Controversial influencer Jeffree Star said he is “waiting for someone to trespass” onto his yak ranch in Wyoming, where he keeps 100 guns, adding that he has a “love” for shooting. Star, who moved from California to Wyoming in August, spoke with YouTuber Logan Paul in an episode of Paul’s “Impaulsive” podcast, posted June 14.
When Paul asked Star if he owned weapons, Star said he had “about 100” guns that he keeps on his property. A post shared by Jeffree Star (@jeffreestar) “Wyoming is cool. You get pulled over and you can have a gun on your seat with the silencer, and that’s normal,” he told Paul, adding, “I love shooting.
” Star, who is predominantly known for posting beauty and makeup content, also said, “I just love so many different things. I think everyone’s so used to how in the beauty world you’re just this one type of person. ” Earlier in the podcast, co-host George Janko asked Star if he has ever shot a person who broke into his house.
Star responded, “I have a few restraining orders against people but I’m waiting for someone to trespass, I’m down. ” Star appeared on an episode of “Impaulsive” that was posted on June 14. “Impaulsive” via YouTubeTrespassing is a criminal and civil offense in Wyoming, according to the state’s Legislative Service Office.
In 2018, local news outlets reported that the Wyoming legislature passed a “stand your ground” bill, making it legal for people to use “deadly force” against an intruder in their home. A 2020 US Civil Rights Commission report on the law found that similar legislation, sometimes referred to as a “Castle Doctrine,” has been passed in at least 22 other states, and remains controversial. Star has previously shared information about owning guns with viewers.
On April 10, he uploaded a YouTube video to unveil a custom pink pistol, produced for him by arms manufacturing company Beretta. He referred to it as his “favorite” pistol on the podcast. In the episode, Star also said he sometimes posts pictures with his guns on social media, which “upsets some people but mainly no one cares.
” When Star shared a post that showcased the pink pistol in April, many commenters criticized the influencer for “promoting” firearms. On Twitter, some users seemed surprised that Star owned guns, and one tweet with 47,000 likes said that “pivoting from makeup to guns” was an “unprecedented” move from Star. However, on YouTube, many comments also seemed to support Star.
One top comment under the influencer’s April video with 730 likes said, “Jeffree, you’re breaking the rules. You’re showing that you can be whoever you want, you can like what you like and you don’t fit in any boxes. ” A post shared by BERETTA (@berettaofficial) Star, who has 16 million YouTube subscribers, has been involved in several online controversies, most notably his public fallout with former friends and fellow beauty influencers including Manny Gutierrez, Nikita Dragun, and Laura Lee in 2018.
The feud blew up on social media at the time and has become known as “dramageddon. ” More recently, in May, Star received backlash for saying he would be slaughtering Yaks on his ranch to sell them for meat. The YouTuber later defended the decision in a June YouTube video, saying that farming animals was the “Wyoming way.
