Later in the identical livestream, the 40-year-old made ANOTHER joke about deportation whereas talking to others, saying:
“I do know what Jessica’s considering. She’s like, I’m calling ICE.”
WTF!
Watch each clips (beneath):
That isn’t humorous in any respect! It’s particularly insensitive given the ICE incident that simply occurred final week in Minneapolis, when a US Citizen named Renee Nicole Good was shot and killed by an ICE agent after dropping her son off at college. Regardless of your politics, none of this must be a laughing matter.
And, but sadly, everybody on the livestream laughed alongside. Jessica went reside later with Perez Hilton and denied remembering something in regards to the joke or understanding what Jeffree mentioned on the time — regardless of having had an over-the-top response within the second.

I apologize to anybody I’ve harm by not defending. Please give me the chance to develop, study and work onerous so i can do higher.”
Guess she went again to observe the replay!
Now, even Jeffree has reacted to the controversy! Within the remark part of one in all his posts, a fan complained:
“This makes me unhappy. I’ve purchased a lot of your make-up to seek out out you aspect with Ice.”
The creator rapidly replied:
“I completely don’t aspect with anybody, it was a darkish humor joke on a reside stream for 5 seconds”
