    He first gained attention on MySpace, before sharing his makeup tutorials on YouTube where he quickly amassed millions of followers. 

    At present, Star boasts 16.5million subscribers on his YouTube channel, as well 13.5million followers on Instagram, and 6.9million Twitter followers. 

    But while his career has brought him fame and fortune, Star has attracted a slew of negative headlines and has been accused of physical violence and sexual abuse. 

    Last October, the makeup mogul  was the subject of a lengthy report published by Insider, which featured interviews with insiders who claimed he 'groped men around him without consent' and used a stun gun to intimidate people in the late 2000s. 

    Star's attorney denied the allegations in the article.

    While his career has brought him fame and fortune, Star has attracted a slew of negative headlines and has been accused of physical violence and sexual abuse.

    In one instance, five people alleged to Insider that Star tased a homeless teen, then-17-year-old Gage Arthur, after he rejected his advances in a movie theater in 2009.

    Someone who claimed to be with them that night told Insider that Star said he wanted to 'f**k Gage' and tried holding the teen's hand, even though he is straight.

    After Arthur failed to reciprocate, Star reportedly walked out of the theater. When the group joined him in the parking lot, he allegedly chased the teen around a car and tased him.

    Arthur told Insider that later that night, when he stayed over Star's house, the MySpace celebrity 'gave him Ambien until he was intoxicated and forcibly performed oral sex on him without his consent.'

    Star's lawyer called the allegations 'false and defamatory,' saying Star 'has never tasered or drugged anyone for sex.'

    Meanwhile, Zach Neil, a former Warped Tour stage manager, told Insider that he has seen Star 'grope both guys and girls.'

    'I think anybody that has seen him in concert has seen that. That's just part of his thing, feeling people up and groping people and a**-slapping and d**k-grabbing,' he added.

    Neil said he didn't like how Star would pull young-looking fans on stage to feel them up and have three-way kisses.

    A spokesperson on behalf of Star told DailyMail.com: 'While Insider may believe that generating click-bait is more important than honest reporting, facts still matter.

    'This so-called exposé is nothing but a defamatory collection of long-discredited allegations, misleading hearsay from more than a decade ago and outright lies. Tellingly, all of the key individuals involved have refused to substantiate Insider’s bogus claims, while many, including Jeffree’s representatives, presented the reporter with a mountain of evidence proving that these allegations are false.'

    Star is no stranger to controversy, and earlier this summer, makeup retailer Morphe dropped his line because of his use of racist and offensive language in the past.
