KEY POINTS

  • "I hope they enjoyed that paycheck they got from the views," Hill tweeted Wednesday
  • On Thursday, she apologized for the "childish" tweet
  • In February, Hill had revealed that she was battling anxiety

Social media influencer and beauty guru Jaclyn Hill, whose reputation was hit after people found fuzz and bumps in her lipsticks, recently took to Twitter to lash out at those who blew up the issue. However, a day later she apologized for the tweet.

"Damn people really dragged me to filth when I had a scandal with my lipsticks. But are no where to be found when I’m 'unproblematic' and doing well. I hope they enjoyed that paycheck they got from the views, though!" she wrote Wednesday in the now-deleted tweet.

The following day, Hill apologized for the "childish tweet."

"Last night I made a tweet that I shouldn’t have. I was very emotional and should have put my phone down instead of reacting childish. I was not referring to fans, I was not referring to drama channels and I was not referring to certain influencers that have now been brought into this," she wrote on Twitter, Dexerto reported.

"I was upset because of stuff going on behind the scenes & should have kept my mouth 100% shut. Because now it’s turning into something that I didn’t even see coming cause I reacted so quickly without thinking. I’m sorry for jumping on Twitter instead of dealing with it privately," she said in the now-deleted tweet.

Following last year’s lipstick controversy, Hill, who has close to 6 million subscribers on YouTube, took time off social media. She returned to YouTube in February and revealed that she was battling anxiety.

"At the end of the day, to cope with my anxiety and my depression, I turned to alcohol and started drinking to fix what I was feeling mentally. My anxiety gets so bad, you guys, that I uncontrollably throw up. Last year, I would say, there was a couple months’ period where I was throwing up probably five days a week," she said in the YouTube video.
