There's nothing funny nor acceptable about child abuse, no matter the circumstances. And one YouTuber is learning that the hard way after taking to her channel to reveal that she beat her 2-year-old for simply getting into her Jeffree Star Blue Bloods palette. The situation has her in serious hot water, with social media calling for the removal of the child from the home.Ā
Check out how it all unfolded ahead.
In a generation of oversharing, there's always troubling moments from influencers.
In a recent case, YouTuber Michelle Grace took to her channel to reveal that she "beat" her toddler for messing up her Jeffree Star palette. And it wasn't a pop or a quick slap of the hand. She continued to explain that the beating was so bad that her hand began to hurt. "I donāt know who the heck Michelle Grace is but she is absolutely vile," someone said on Twitter with a recording of the now-deleted video. "She openly admits to beating her 2 yr old for ruining her Jeffree Star makeup pallet. Girl, there isnāt enough makeup in the world to hide the ugliness you have on the inside."
It's resulted in social media calling for the child to be removed from the home.
Social media has been tagging child protective services, urging them to relocate the young child to not endure anymore abuse. "If anyone knows where this woman (Michelle Grace) lives please call the police and CPS," someone tweeted. "She said she beat her 2 year old child until her hands hurt because the baby destroyed her makeup palette. She needs to go to jail. The baby sounds in serious distress."
A formal petition has been established.
Concerned citizens have gone so far as to start a petition calling for the child's immediate removal from the home and further investigation into the incident.
And there's allegedly a GoFundMe from the child's father.
While whether the GoFundMe is legitimately from the child's father has yet to be confirmed, the page alleges that the father is looking for help with legal fees so that he can get custody of the 2-year-old. "For those that have seen the #michellegrace sh*t hereās the dadās go fund me page to help his daughter," a tweet with the link read.
But it seems she has a history of troubling tweets.
After the incident, old tweets were dug up and revealed that Grace has a history of abuse and sharing very concerning aspects of her life.
And now, Star has thrown shade at the situation.
It all started when a fan tweeted Star explaining that their child too had ruined their Blood Sugar palette, however, they took a much different approach than Grace. "My 3 year old got into my @JeffreeStar #bloodsugar palette while I was at work today," they said. "We cleaned it up the best we could. Guess what I didnāt do? Touch her. I didnāt scream, didnāt beat, didnāt 'pop' or spank. I talked with her, she apologized, and helped me clean her mess up."
Star responded, clearly not a fan of Grace's behavior. "Hi parenting, how are ya? Please DM me your address so I can send you a new palette! Iād send you a new mattress too but I donāt know how firm you like it," he said offering a new palette.
As of now, Grace has removed all content from YouTube and her other social media accounts.
While she tried to justify her actions, Grace seems to have deleted all social accounts.Ā
