'Filming this video is scary, but it feels so liberating and freeing.'
Aside from being one of YouTube's most popular beauty vloggers, de Jager is also a Global Artistry Adviser for Marc Jacobs Beauty and has been working with the prestigious company since last year.
De Jager revealed in her coming out video that she was being blackmailed by others who were threatening to"leak" the news that she is transgender. "Apparently, we live in a world where people hate on people that are truly themselves," she said, before raising her middle finger to those who were allegedly going to release her news.
"Glow babies, today is the day, I am free, and I get to be me finally" de Jager adds."Please know that this doesn't change anything about me." De Jager concludes the video by thanking everyone from her manager to her boyfriend Dylan for their support.
