We Were Treated Like Absolute Garbage at Beautycon (with live footage)

[@SierraStephenIRL]

The hardest part about rewatching this footage is the progression of it all. Skylar & I went into the day so excited and happy and feeling our absolute best. We try to give Beautycon the benefit of the doubt with the first few hiccups, try to brush it off and have our own fun, but by the end of the day we left feeling insecure and humiliated. I hope Beautycon can learn from this and do better for other creators, but I won’t be back to see for myself.

[@DamarisArlene20]

Sierra & Stephen IRL I love you guys even more now! I’m so so sorry this happened to y’all! I watched your live yesterday and did laugh at the mean girls laughing at you. I only laughed after y’all laughed and were like this is a movie scene. I laughed WITH y’all, but I 100% felt that and then got teary eyed too! I’m also so glad y’all can laugh about the RIDICULOUSNESS of these terrible people. You guys are the REAL talent and the awesome ones for sure. Y’all looked gorgeous! Keep your heads up. Thanks for being YOU! Your subscribers want nothing other then YOU...and your cute friends! Haha. We love Sierra💗💗💗💗💗

[@jaleesastengel1747]

I think she needs to approach the reporters and say "Hi, I'm Sierra... can I tell you about my beauty channel?" When she walks the red carpet WORK IT!! She did a few small poses at the beginning.... but other than that, just walked. You need to walk a few steps, stop and do some BOMB poses... walk a few more steps, stop a POSE... all the way down. If you catch their eye, they will take a picture.

[@JennRighter]

When you said "it's because I'm fat", my heart and soul felt the way that Skylar's face looked. I'm normal weight now, I'm almost 39. I've been a normal weight for about 5 years now. But the other 34 years of my life I was very overweight to lower end obese, and that remains a part of you. You can shed that weight, but you will never shed that experience. When you said "it's because I'm fat", instant tears. I know that feeling so well. It's so disgusting, I'm honestly at a loss for words for how disgusted I am. And, by the way, it's never good enough with weight. Look at people like Tyra Banks, she was being lambasted for being fat. It's a shame game and no weight, no size will exclude anyone from the ridiculous body shaming that exists.

May Short Agreed. I want to see him lose all his power. Even though he lost a shit ton of followers awhile back, he kept all his power thanks to KZbin controlling the algorithm. He will never learn, no, he will never have to learn until the very few people more powerful than him pull the rug out. He’s just the middle bitch mean girl making money for the corporations. I can’t stand any of the people you named. They are all users and the real losers.

[@livinglife3483]

May Short I have a feeling for every thing we know JS does for charity publicly, he’s secretly supporting and giving away millions to various charities and causes. I believe his first instinct is to give, not receive. He can have all the Hermes handbags in the world as far as I’m concerned because all his bells and whistles come from a very different place than these status seeking insecure little monsters who have never really struggled. I’ve never seen anyone quite life JS and I don’t mean the way he looks. He knows how to balance that fantasy lifestyle we all love to dream about and love watching with some sincere realness. You can see exactly who he is by the people he keeps closest to him now after figuring out how to deal with his success. He landed in the right place.

[@mg-ti6eb]

Meg Dougherty well a private phone conversation you have an expectation of privacy as you would in your home! Also, recording your voice without knowledge is a security risk, as a lot of verifications are voice recognized. However if he were having that phone conversation in a public area and someone filmed him secretly it wouldn’t be against the law, as long as it’s not inflammatory/lies degrading your character or being used to make money you have no expectation of privacy in public. The laws are so meshed now and crazy, they haven’t really caught up to technology yet!

I ran in to an ulta one day to grab a few restocks while i was running errands, dressed in cute work out gear, hair in a messy bun, with sunglasses on my head more expensive than that girls car prolly(they were a gift, and like the most expensive thing in my entire wardrobe! Prolly worth more than most of my clothes combined!) And this bitch wanna say to me, "i think these items over here might be more ur style" directing me to the drug store isles. Now listen. I aint rich. I save up for what i get, and shop bargains where i can. But just because i dot walk in there all glam to the gods, hair done perfect, im inthe wrong section picking out my standard abh eyebrow pencil!?!?! Bitch next! I was so offended. I told her "look lady i know what im here to get. Please stop judging me" i havent been back to that ulta since.

[@juliejunkyardx]

I'm not at all feminine, even on my "good days", and the shit people in large (and even small, local) beauty shops have said to me and the way the treat me when I go in is unreal.

I can only imagine how much worse it would be if I was also fat.
