In this week's episode, I explore downfall of one of YouTube’s most prolific trios — Shane Dawson, Trisha Paytas, and Jeffree Star — from the origins of their friendship to how it all fell apart publicly before our eyes. This episode is in light of the upcoming reunion between Trisha and Jeffree on the Just Trish podcast, which has not yet been released at the time of recording and uploading.
