In her Twitter account, Dy said she’s acknowledging her mistake and would like to sincerely apologize to Star for whatever violation of his right she committed.
She also said that Star is one of her inspirations and that her intention for her MD Approved series was to make Star’s content in Philippine version.
“I believe that a mistake cannot be corrected with another mistake.And as the adage goes, “When you make a mistake, there are only three things to do about it, admit it, learn from it and don’t repeat it.” Dy wrote.
Redditors countered Star’s threat
However, some netizens are quick to point out Star’s wrongful rant.
In a Reddit conversation, several Redditors defend Dy against Star’s “baseless” accusations. They said, there could be no case against Dy because Jeffree Star Approved was not copyrighted by instead just a trademark that he use which doesn’t violate copyright laws.
Michelle then thanked her family and friends for the support and she promised to bounce back from the humps and create new contents.
