Jeffree Star Accused Of Sexual Assault, Physical Violence & Bribery
Amid his ongoing social media beef with ex boo Andre Marhold — who allegedly stole from him, 34-year-old make-up maven Jeffree Star, full name Jeffrey Lynn Steininger, Jr., is now being accused of sexual assault, physical violence and bribery!
While he’s been in headlines over his past racist outbursts and numerous, subsequent, apologies, Star is back in them as at least five former friends, peers and associates tell Insider that during Star’s rise to fame as an electropop musician (back in the Myspace era/late 2000s), he was physically and sexually abusive. Several sources say Star sexually preyed on multiple men around him via nonconsensual oral sex and groping.

Star’s accusers also alleged that he would get off on using weapons, like stun guns, on the people around him for fun, or for revenge after being rejected. While the make-up guru’s attorney denies the physical and sexual violence allegations, calling them “false and defamatory,” messages obtained by the publication also show a conversation between confirmed sources regarding a $10,000 payout in hush money from Star, asking them to recant their allegations. One accuser says, “Jeffree has never hidden any of this. The only thing he’s ever done is shut people up.”
The aforementioned source, identified by Gage Arthur, who claims he was slipped Ambien on the first night staying over Star’s home in 2009, wholly says, “Jeffree has never hidden any of this. The only thing he’s ever done is shut people up. But what needs to happen is somebody needs to speak up and open that door for people who have more serious encounters. And nobody’s done that. And I’m not afraid to be that person.”
