The blackmailer that forced popular beauty YouTuber NikkieTutorials' coming-out video has been identified by the police, according to Nikkie herself. NikkieTutorials, real name Nikkie de Jager, shared her first new video to YouTube since coming out as transgender on January 13, creating a"makeup therapy session" to discuss things that have happened in the weeks since, as well as address fans' behavior online.
"Now let me tell you, when I found out exactly who was behind this all I was shocked. Because this is not a person that any of you know. It is someone that I don't even personally know," de Jager states in the video. She adds,"It's frightening because you know that someone is out there so evil to be able to do this and a to out someone when it should never be their place to out anyone. You are sick in your head for doing that.
De Jager has decided that she will keep this information to herself, and not publicize his identity to her fans."I know this is going to sound so stupid and weird but with this platform we have right here, I have the power to destroy a life," she says."I have the ability to not only destroy the life of my blackmailer, but also the life of his family. His kids. His friends.
The video clears up any speculation linking the recent drama involving Dani California, sister of TooFaced founder Jerrod Blandino, with the initial blackmail. On January 15, California was fired after transphobic remarks — assumed to be directed at de Jager — were found on California's Instagram profile.
Before ending her video, de Jager makes it clear that this response is not for everyone, bringing up her previous statements given to Ellen Degeneres about her being in a position of privilege. She says,"My situation is a special type of situation because I live in front of all of you. I live my life publicly. And I got the chance to take back my power. But if you're not I the position to take back your power, you need to seek help from police, friends, family.
