Shane Dawson is seemingly siding with Jeffree Star in the makeup mogul's ongoing feud with Kat Von D.

The YouTuber uploaded a video called "The End of the Beauty World" to his new YouTube channel ShaneGlossin on Tuesday. The video features 36 minutes' worth of deleted footage from his recent docuseries, which showed the creation of his collaboration makeup line with Jeffree Star Cosmetics.

Though many of the deleted scenes detail their makeup collection, a few others were seemingly directed at drama within the beauty community.

Shane Dawson seemingly doesn't support Kat Von D or her namesake beauty brand

Approximately 13 minutes into the video, Star is seen opening a press package from Rihanna's makeup brand Fenty Beauty. He then explained the purpose of the package to his videographer Andrew Siwicki and fiancé Ryland Adams, confirming that he was on lists to receive free products from at least "15 different companies."

According to Dawson, one of those brands was Kat Von D — a makeup line created by the tattoo artist in 2008. The brand was recently renamed as KVD Vegan Beauty after the founder sold the company to focus on other ventures.

"They put me on Kat Von D's list, and I had to tell them to take me off," Dawson said before making a face at the camera.

His fiancé's sister, Morgan Adams, chimed in to note that she owns the brand's foundation, which she described as being "pretty good." Dawson then jokingly replied: "Get out of my house."

Jeffree Star also joked about his former friend in the video

Eighteen minutes into Dawson's video, the YouTubers began discussing Dawson's pig logo, which was created for his collaboration makeup line. After Star called the design "iconic," Siwicki noted that it would be even more iconic if tattooed on Dawson.

Star replied to them both: "No honestly, what if we got Kat Von D to do it?" As Star and Siwicki began to laugh, Star said: "She needs work. She has a baby now; she needs work."

Star and Von D were once friends, but began feuding around 2016

Before they were celebrities and internet stars, Star and Von D described each other as best friends. Star got tattoos done by the artist, and she named a lipstick after him. In 2016, however, Von D publicly ended their friendship over social media.

According to Allure, Von D said at the time that Star struggled with "drug use, racism, and bullying." She also accused the makeup mogul of not paying one of her friends for designing his famous star-shaped logo. Star denied that allegation, according to Allure, and accused her of not supporting his work. He later released a YouTube video about the feud.

 

Representatives for Shane Dawson, Kat Von D, and Jeffree Star did not immediately reply to Insider's request for comment.
