Hello everyone! This interview was a tough one, but also such an inspiring one. I’m so honored to have had the chance to interview Damien Leonhardt (formerly Jessi Slaughter). Damien has endured some horrible things in their life, including abuse by Blood On The Dance Floor’s Dahvie Vanity at 10 yrs old, and then the backlash from the entire internet when Dahvie tried to silence them. The fact that despite those things, Damien has turned out to be such a beautiful, strong and amazing person, brought me to tears a couple of times while editing this. I asked Damien if they wanted me to mention their social media, and they said not to mention it in the video (but that I could list it in the description) because they didn’t want clout from this. That statement alone shows the type of character they have. Damien is not only a hero for abuse survivors but also for literally ANYONE trying to overcome adversity in their lives. Please join me in supporting them on social media:

Many people have been asking me about Jeffree Star in relation to this issue, and my support for his products. I emailed Jeffree for a written comment regarding his stance on the issue, and I heard nothing back. So I’ve decided to not only pull my Jeffree Star review videos, but also pull my support for any of Jeffree Star’s products UNTIL he makes a statement thoroughly denouncing his support for Dahvie, and I would encourage you to do the same. Props to Creepshow Art, Tehmimi, and any other youtuber standing up for what’s right, and the more examples we set, the more people will follow and also take action. Money is great, but there comes a time when you have to stand for something bigger, and standing for abuse victims (children or adult) is as noble of a cause as it gets.
Lastly, thank you to all of my subscribers and supporters. I can’t believe how many supportive comments and love that’s been shown to me for doing this work. You’re my youtube family and I thank you so much. Please join me in supporting Damien and the other victims on their social media, and giving them all of the love and support we can.
