Laura Lee: Beauty Guru Loses Sponsorships Over Racist Tweets
Are you familiar with Laura Lee?
If not, then you just need to know that she’s a YouTuber known for doing makeup reviews and tutorials, and she also has her own makeup line.
And she’s in a whole, whole bunch of hot water right now.
To give a little bit of background, Laura was recently on a trip with some other beauty gurus, and they all posed for a photo together with their middle fingers up.
The person who shared the photo on Twitter captioned it “Bitch is bitter because without him, we’re better.”
Most people took it as a dig at Jeffree Star, a former friend of all the people in the photo, including Laura.
But the thing is that Jeffree’s fanbase is really, really intense, so even though none of those people went after him directly, his fans still took it upon themselves to dig up any dirt they could on them.
They succeeded.
Some screenshots of tweets that Laura made several years ago have been going around, and they’re pretty awful.
And by “pretty awful,” we mean super racist.
“Tip for all black people,” one of the tweets reads, “if you pull ur pants up you can run from the police faster.. #yourwelcome.”
In another, she wrote “Ni**as in Paris? Whaaaaat I thought they couldn’t afford to leave Compton! LOL!”
In one last tweet, just in case you weren’t disgusted enough, she asked “How do you blindfold a Chinese person? Put floss over their eyes!”
If you can even believe it, she actually added “#dumbgook” to the end of that one.
Because she is garbage.
When it became clear that her old tweets were becoming a big deal, Laura deactivated her Twitter, then came back after deleting several tweets.
She also posted a lengthy apology, explaining that “the girl who tweeted that isn’t who I am today.”
Her story was that she’s just “a small town girl from Alabama” so she didn’t know any better, but she was 24 years old when she wrote all of those tweets.
Most 24 year olds, even ones from small towns in Alabama, understand racism.
Laura also said in her apology that she planned on “getting involved with foundations that focus on educating the importance of equality and social justice.”
To wrap things up, she said that she hoped she’d be able to earn her fans’ respect back.
It did not work out like that.
Her followers weren’t happy with the apology because it didn’t feel sincere, and also how dumb is it that she tried to act like she didn’t know any better because she’s from the south?
So Laura took a few days and then posted an apology video on her YouTube account.
And it is insane:
It doesn’t really matter what she said, because it’s mostly the same stuff she said in her written apology — that she’s way sorry and she’s not really a racist.
Interestingly though, she said several times in the video that she retweeted those racist things, when the screenshots clearly show that she wrote them herself.
But it’s strange because even though she’s sobbing through the whole thing, there aren’t any tears, and even though she’s clearly very emotional, she made a lot of edits to what’s supposed to be a raw video.
So yeah, most people think she’s being fake here, too, and that she’s not actually sorry for tweeting those awful things, she’s just sorry she got caught.
She’s probably extremely sorry now, since it’s starting to look like her career is over.
A few weeks ago, Laura celebrated reaching five million subscribers on YouTube, but now she’s down to about 4.5 million, which is a pretty extreme drop.
Her cosmetics company is also suffering — Ulta recently announced that they’d be carrying her products on their site and in stores, but it doesn’t look like that’s happening anymore.
A spokesperson for Ulta spoke with The Blast, saying “We have decided not to move forward with the launch of Laura Lee Los Angeles. Ulta Beauty values equality and inclusivity in all that we do.”
In addition to Ulta cutting ties with her, Laura has also been cut loose by Boxycharm, a beauty subscription service that carried her products, and Morphe and Colourpop, cosmetics companies that have worked with her in the past.
Things really, really aren’t looking good for her right now.
And that’s one of the many, many reasons why you don’t want to be a racist!

Laura DeMasie: Who Is Jana Duggar"s Rumored Girlfriend?
If you’re a longtime Counting On viewer, then you’re probably familiar with Jana Duggar’s longtime friend Laura DeMasie.
Laura and Jana have an unusually close relationship, as DeMasie assists her BFF with homeschooling of the younger Duggars, as well as the many other chores that have been Jana’s responsibility for the entirety of her adult life.
Not surprisingly, the situation has led to rumors that Jana and Laura are dating.
We may never know if that’s really the case, as coming out as gay would be enough to get Jana permanently disowned by her parents.
Whatever the case, it seems Laura is definitely one of the most important people in Jana’s life.
The 33-year-old not only helps out around the compound, she’s also a VIP guest at events that are otherwise Duggar-only.
For example, when Jinger Duggar welcomed her first child back in February, only a select few immediate family members were on hand.
But despite the fact that Jinger didn’t even invite all of her siblings, there was Laura, standing right by Jana’s side as usual.
Laura was also on hand for several other recent events as well, including Jinger’s gender reveal party.
Duggars rarely allow outsiders in their midst, so some fans have been confused by the sight of a non-relative at so many private events.
“Like really… who is she? Why is she around? Why is she STILL around!?” one fan recently commented on a Duggar-themed Reddit board.
“Why did she go to Jinger’s birth?”
Several other fans echoed the sentiment, and while the exact nature of Jana and Laura’s relationship might forever remain a mystery, we do have a goods idea of who DeMasie is and where she came from.
Laura is a 33-year-old Arkansas native, who is currently employed in the media department of the Institute in Basic Life Principles (IBLP).
The IBLP is an important part of the Duggars’ lives and the source of many of the family’s most controversial beliefs.
So it’s safe to say that Jana and Laura first crossed paths as a result of their shared involvement with the organization.
As for why Laura is suddenly everywhere — well, that’s more of a mystery.
It’s not hard to see why so many fans suspect that she and Jana are more than friends, but thus far, there’s no clear indication of any romantic involvement.
Now that Jana’s twin, John David Duggar, is courting Abbie Burnett, Jana is officially the only single Duggar over the age of 20.
So it’s possible that she and Laura are simply kindred spirits who find comfort in one another in a desolate place where they’re already considered old maids.

Jana Duggar: Secretly Dating "Best Friend" Laura DeMasie?
The news that John David Duggar is courting Abbie Burnett has revived interest in Counting On fans’ very favorite question:
Namely, why is it that Jana Duggar is still single?
Jana is only 28, but in the Duggars’ world, that’s dangerously close to old maid territory.
Jana and her sisters were taught from a young age that procreation is second only to praisin’ the lawd on the list of a woman’s reasons for being.
While her siblings took that lesson to heart, with most of them marrying young and getting pregnant on their honeymoons, Jana has chosen a different path.
From what we’ve seen, that path mostly involves helping to care for her younger siblings, and lots and lots of gardening.
But if a new fan theory is to be believed, Jana’s existence isn’t quite as lonely as we’ve been led to believe.
If you’re a longtime Duggar aficionado, then you might recognize Jana’s longtime friend Laura Demasie.
Jana and Laura have been so close for so long that Demasie has even helped Jana with the homeschooling of her younger siblings.
So perhaps it should come as no surprise that many Duggar fans now suspect that Jana and Laura are more than just friends.
The subject is a common topic of discussion on Duggar-focused message boards on Reddit.
Many point to Jim Bob Duggar’s cryptic 2017 comment that Jana “preferred the company of women” as evidence.
It certainly sounds suggestive, but we’re pretty sure Jim Bob didn’t mean to imply that Jana might be gay.
We say that not because she’s definitely not gay, but because we highly doubt Jim Bob would ever publicly acknowledge that fact if she were.
It’s no secret that several Duggar children have rebelled against Jim Bob’s authoritarian rule in recent years.
But women wearing pants instead of floor-length skirts is one thing — coming out as homosexual would be quite another.
Hard it is to believe in 2018, there are still families that consider being gay to be a disownable offense.
And the Duggars are one of them.
Sadly, if Jana and Laura were actually in a relationship, they would likely be forced to keep it a secret for the rest of their days.
Even if the rumors about Jana were true and she wanted to come out she would likely realize that doing so would lead Jim Bob to force all of his other children to cut ties with her.
And for someone as family-oriented as Jana, that would be tantamount to a death sentence.
As if any of us needed another reason to dislike Jim Bob.
