What Is Going On With Jeffree Star Now? YouTuber Alleges That Boyfriend Robbed Him

Jeffree Star's drama train is still running full speed.

The YouTuber and makeup guru's personal life is making headlines once again, with Star accusing his boyfriend, Andre Marhold, of stealing from him.

Star left a comment on an Instagram photo posted by Marhold on Wednesday hinting at some trouble between the couple. Not only did Star claim Marhold was dodging his calls, but the beauty vlogger also alleged that Marhold took items that didn't belong to him.

"Since you can't answer the phone right now, can you give me all the stuff back you stole from my house?? What kind of lowlife f**king scum does that? Give it back!!!! If you need a return label, just ask [cry face emojis]," Starr wrote.

Hip magazine was the first to share a screenshot of Star's comment, which has since been removed.

However, the fallout didn't end there. Following Star's post, he shared an Instagram and Snapchat clip in which he claims that he broke things off with Marhold "about a week ago" after he "discovered a lot of things" about Marhold, a former overseas basketball player, like that he allegedly didn't have a job nor a bank account.

"So, all these things that I were [sic] told were all false and I was lied to. And I was like, 'Okay, bye sweetie, it was really good meeting you, thanks," Star said. "Then, all of a sudden, there's some LV luggage missing. There's some backpacks missing, and there's a few sunglasses missing."

Not long after Star's rant, Marhold posted a threatening warning on Instagram from the account _amarxiii, which noted it was a "backup page," claiming that if Star didn't remove the videos accusing him of robbery, then he would reveal some of Star's dirty secrets—like the fact that Star allegedly became involved with "a close friend of" Nathan Schwandt, the man Star dated for five years before his hookup with Marhold.

"You got an hour to delete them off Snapchat. It's crazy because I'm a real genuine person and I really didn't want it to get to this point," the post reads, with Marhold later adding, "Let's just say this is going to ruin you."

In another post, Marhold wrote: "You didn't even tell your supporters you hit me up offering all these expensive things for my time. I have proof of what I posted I have your name on paper work your name on pill bottles etc we can do this all night."

Star eventually complied and removed all the videos, but not before they were snagged up by a couple celebrity gossip blogs. However, on Thursday, Marhold posted an Instagram Stories message from his actual account, amarxii, asking followers to report the finstagram account, which has since been removed.

Over the summer, Star faced some consequences for his many years of bad behavior, from appearing in blackface, using violent and racial slurs and loads more. He was essentially canceled by the internet—along with fellow YouTuber and friend Shane Dawson—while beauty influences like Jackie Aina publicly ended friendships with Star, citing his crude antics and shady dealings. Morphe cosmetics, with whom he and Dawson launched a makeup collection in 2019, stopped selling the makeup palates before later discontinuing Star's line, Jeffree Star Cosmetics, altogether.
