the ugly downfall of the BeAuTy GuRu queen - Jaclyn Hill

[@sylasgirl]

The issue with influencers is that they are ordinary people who, if they were not influencers, would be unlikely to have businesses, or be CEOs, or have any kind of role that requires having business acumen, so when social media catapults them into being business owners they lack the requires skills to do it properly, they have zero business smarts so make absurd decisions or totally lack any kind of moral compass as they are just seeing $$$$. Basically greed is the biggest issue with influencers. It drives all their dumbass decisions.

[@chersilveira8944]

She IS a horrible monster trying to pass herself off as a person. She has been screwing over women, other brands & has basically been a runaway train filled with explosives heading towards any women that have a good following since day one. She even put a video out with her supposedly having a mental melt down to get sympathy saying she had mental illness ( panic disorder, anxiety, etc) to further manipulate followers. She is a flesh eating bacteria. What she did to her husband was beyond cruel & she was mind Fing him for years, RIGHT UP TO HIS END. She lied to him the whole time he was in rehab & then he comes home to find ALL his belongings gone, that he wasn't living there anymore & his FRIEND and his WIFE were TOGETHER. He relapsed & was using within a month. THIS was told by John himself. WHAT kind of a creature does that?

[@eh1126]

She doesn’t own the make up brand, that’s why she can’t decide to close it. That brand has always belonged to Morphe (now Forma). And the only reason she’s saying that she’s closing her brands because she’s no longer excited is because she can’t admit the truth: her brands are no longer selling. She lost her customers’ trust by putting out nothing but overpriced crappy products.

[@KathysKritiques]

I was thinking the same thing! All she used to talk about was her dream of owning her own make up brand. Then she gets it and has the nerve to say she never wanted this??

[@AKbaby89]

I actually supported Jaclyn after lipstickgate because I believed her BS. The last thing I got from her was at her jewelry launch. I got the solitare necklace, wore it for like 3 hours, didn't get it wet at all, and then months later when I went to go wear it (I really only wear jewelry for special occasions, I have super sensitive skin so I'm just not a jewelry person) I saw that *literally* every single link in the necklace was rusted. Every last one. But it's really bad on the parts that were around my neck. By the solitare (what would sit on the chest) it's only rusted where the links connect, but around the neck the links are basically fully rusted. I emailed them and they offered to replace it but I told them I didn't want another rusty necklace and they literally never replied. So that was fun. Tbh I wasn't a huge fan ever, I did have both of her bigger palettes with Morphe and a few items from Jaclyn Cosmetics, which Jaclyn was only ever the face of, but the new owners denied her contract renewal so who knows what's happening there🤷‍♀️ im glad I didn't give her tons of money, but im more annoyed that I ever believed her lies. She manipulates tf out of her audience and it feels crappy knowing I was manipulated and lied to🤷‍♀️

[@dailybread7687]

They never replied back? Oh my goodness I’m so sorry that happened. If that happened to me I would file my own Motion and take them to court, which you still can do. I would have to held them accountable, but that’s just me. That family needs accountability. Like why are they under a church umbrella? To avoid paying taxes. They disgust me and her Mother is not an idiot. She knows exactly what she’s doing and helping JH Oh, did you take pictures of your neck and the necklace? I would’ve sent them to them then wait. If no reply then take them to court but you don’t need pictures sweetie you can still do it if it’s not to stressful for you. I wish you the best ❤❤

[@rougeroadie1193]

I’m not the biggest fan of JH. But in the spirit of playing Devil’s advocate. The whole food stamps things has been a topic for a long time. People seem to think that coming from well off families means that you won’t struggle as an adult. That’s just simply not true. I am someone who personally came from a family who isn’t wealthy but definitely not struggling and have always had the means to provide. I grew up with lots of things and pretty much wanted for nothing. I was on food stamps more than once in my early adult years. There was a time in my life that I would go to work as a hairstylist assistant and pray to make $20 in tips just so I could put gas in my car to make it back home and go to the grocery store to buy a dozen eggs and packs of top ramen. Because that’s all I could afford to eat. Those times sucked.. but I’m also so thankful for them. They taught me so much. And if my family had bailed me out, I wouldn’t have learned those lessons and probably would not appreciate the money I make now.

[@Ineverusemychannel]

Yea, factor in how young she got married and her ex husbands long term struggle with addiction, and her being on food stamps for a short period is not a crazy stretch.

[@mirandarinconnn]

I went to the comments to say this!!

[@basskitten808.]

Exactly. It's not hard to believe she was genuinely on food stamps for awhile being that she was the main bread winner working at MAC and her husband had addiction issues and didn't have a steady job. Also, that partially explains as to why she was so much skinnier back then versus now - it's because she was broke. Being broke basically kept her skinny. And let's be honest that she probably spent a lot of the money she'd earn at MAC on material items rather than food as she seems like someone who has always prioritized material things.

[@MelanaC]

I am allergic to nickel and that’s usually the component that turns skin green. Also makes the ‘silver’ tarnish and go black or dark. Marks the neck or fingers and leaves a nasty green-blackish grossness Nickel content is a very cheap ingredient and there can be 85% nickel and only 3% actual silver!!!

[@Sweet_Tooth_Art]

It's actually the copper in cheap jewellery that makes your skin green. Most cheap jewellery is nickle plated copper. The thin layer of nickle wares away pretty fast exposing the copper that then reacts with the oil of your skin and goes green as it oxidises.

I don't think it's fair to suggest her excitement about her previous brands was fake. I think we've all tried a hobby or loved something and eventually the same passion we had for it at the beginning dwindles. I think that's perfectly fine and normal. Sure most of us don't have the funds to make it into a business, but I could think of a dozen people I know right now that would start a business creating something they love if they had the money and ideas for it and they could just as easily decide it's not for them later on.

[@camiehatfield]

You make a fair point. I think that Jaclyn came out with those other brands to fill a void in her life called happiness. I think Stephanie is right that she did look happier in the past. Jaclyn says those were her worst times but you could see that sparkle and she was genuine. It just seems that even though she has been in therapy for a long time concerning some issues, she just isn’t that much of a happy person anymore. I don’t know if it’s because of her lies or all the money and lifestyle she lives but something has been off for a long time with her and she needs to take time and reflect and humble herself. I think her “boss bitch” attitude in the beginning made her fall because of the mindset she put herself into. You can’t just become a CEO and not put yourself into the work and let everything go while you just sit on a throne showering yourself with diamonds and money while telling the people putting money in your pockets basically f you and that’s what I feel like she has done time and time again. She has refused to address a lot of stuff and when she did there were lies. A business should not have this much drama going on period..

A lot of phrases I heard from Jaclyn over the years: I’m a CEO, I fired a bunch of people, My team…part of success is being a leader and not a boss. And being a leader means you succeed with your team and you fail with your team. Morale and direction come from the top. If she decides to continue her makeup brand the first thing I would suggest is to understand what it means to be a leader. To instill trust in her team to do what she hired them to do. To understand they are trusted advisers. She also needs to earn trust from her team. Leadership is a very difficult role. And until she understands what being a leader is about, she will not succeed.

Always another great video!! Stephanie, can you list what makeup you use? That lipstick is stunning. 😊

[@caitmac154]

Appreciate the audio warning! Lolll I was in denial that it would be noticeable like “eh I’m sure it’s not that bad” 2 seconds later: •___•

[@LacedwithLacey2424]

Wonderful video! Wow. I have never seen that clip of her dads settlement. Woah!

[@MaffyTaffyHaffy]

Why have I been watching your videos for Ike hours now 😅 it’s Iike oddly comforting

[@veronika_raynexxoo]

I wish she would just go away 🙄 she reminds me of a door-to-door salesman 😅

[@darklin333]

Lol 🤣so true 💟☮

[@hii_armanii]

i love when you post

[@Zuvie77]

I miss your vlogs when can we get one of those?

[@midwestbadger2503]

2011-2016 me was a Jaclyn fan!! I remember hopping on her band wagon from the start just by chance coming across her videos early on. Those were the days. By 2016, it wore off and she wasn't the same I could tell. And then after that everything started coming out, issues, etc and I was like thank goodness I jumped off the Jaclyn train. So devastating.

Love this style of video, Stephanie! Love your other style of videos too but I enjoyed this one

[@imjustagirl9756]

Jen Jerard, of Jerard Cosmetics, just made a post on the evergrowing /r/JaclynHillSnark subreddit. She talked about how Jaclyn tried to ruin her and extort her for $250,000. She will be coming out with more of her story next week. Marlena Stell of Makeup Geek has already done so on Kendall Rae's podcast. She also has a recent scandal with Koze for stealing someone else's brand then dumping it. This goes deeper than we know. She's no angel, and no one is perfect, but this woman is calculating and enjoys trampling on other women to get a leg up.

Okay seeing the clip of the sesh on Stephanie's video is great

[@Pam.uki.]

I really love you content, please keep sharing!

[@dewilew2137]

As someone who knows of Jaclyn Hill, but has Never actually watched a video of hers, This clip ( 3:07 ) has to be a mistake. This cannot actually be the same person. Right? Edit: Wait. Fuzzy gloves? What, like mittens? 🤔

[@thaterinb245]

Did you say “everything she touched turned to gold” on purpose? She allegedly told Linda from Morphe that same thing years ago 😆🤭

[@eh1126]

Yes! Jen Gerard from Gerard cosmetics also spilled the beans that Jaclyn used to brag about her ability to manipulate people. She’s horrible.

[@patr70]

Tell that to men in her life.. and you'll see a graveyard filled with bodies! 😨

[@Wiche11e]

At that time I used to spend all my money on makeup because: "I needed it in my life".. I never finished it, it expired... I threw it away

[@centralgirl10]

She was my role model back in 2015 now especially after the KOZE situation , I don’t know what I was thinking 😂

[@Stephanie-ft9pv]

You was prob young lol

[@NJgirlMel]

Same girl - same!! I’m embarrassed to admit I supported her all the way up to Koze too. Now looking back- I should’ve known SO long ago. I’m embarrassed. Once she came out w Koze & the whole name thing came Up- I was DONE w her… now officially been unsubbed from all her platforms for months. She’s pure evil- honestly what a total b**ch!! Knocked down too many women on her way up- sickening

G'day Stephanie, I came across your videos through curiosity getting the better of me and I have never laughed so hard in my life, you are so so funny and an extremely talented talker. I love your whit your a bloody scream. 😱😱😱🤣🤣🤣

[@Jesscristine]

I like these types of videos ! Can you make one on manny mua? Being cancelled, where are they now etc

[@mychannel8809]

I literally grew up following Jaclyn’s advice, no I can’t be bothered to listen cause I don’t buy any of her bs.. it’s really a shame I miss the old days in the beauty community 😢

[@ashleymichelle0713]

Loving this hair ❤ thanks for your content 😘

[@C4RYB34R]

Aww. I need half an hour videos with Stephanie. Right now, my absolute *favorite Aussie*

[@izabelladybacki-xs7vq]

HEY STEPH. i was wondering if you can do a video on celebrities with different insecurities like yellow teeth, acne, PROTURDING EARS (my insecurity), cellulite. like stuff others girls have that they might feel bad about. ok bye love youuuuu

[@Shannonsense]

Loved this video! I have been watching both you & Jaclyn for yearsss! I do hope the best for Jaclyn, but she makes me very sad

[@thewelcometochannel]

This haircolor looks so good on you!!

[@1Skorpia]

Im glad shes nose diving. Im shocked ANYONE supported her years after lipstick gate. 15:14 is a kardashian move. Triggering people to hate watch AND BUY to prove a point. Like hating the product. Its a real psychological thing to obsess and follow someone you dont like. Look at how many women follow their exes😂 or a girl they dont like. Its emotional manipulation at its finest.

[@sambun6394]

I remember in high school buying my twin sister the jac pallete and my younger cousin the purple vault pallete……..🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡i like growing and realizing my own mistakes honestly

[@chrmartinez2]

I think she COULD regain her followers but only if she owned up to her wrong doings/greed AND genuinely apologized to Marlena & Kaitlyn. She could own up all she wants but until it’s proven that she genuinely apologized to both of em and made things right with them, I won’t be able to believe she actually has any integrity and kindness. She has proven too many times that she only exists in Jaclyn’s world and she can stay there but I will gladly give my money to someone else….as will everyone else.

[@missapril2520]

I'm very excited to hear you're starting a new brand!! What's it gonna be?!!

[@lucianarocha7439]

I’m also blondie my hair and you look so pretty but let me know, you look so gorgeous as brunette, if someday you decided to come back. Motherhood is bringing you so much glow Steph!

[@kristimh]

Early Jaclyn was great, but I can’t even with what has happened since. The Becca highlighter days were my favorite. Thanks for touching on that. I always wondered what happened…
