The 35-year-old YouTube star and cosmetics mogul is a larger-than-life personality who has over 16 million online followers and has become famous for online video tutorials. Star's personal life has often been thrust in the spotlight often due to his combative public feuds with other celebrities.
Last year, Star came under fire for alleged past racist comments and inappropriate behavior. Other beauty influencers like Jackie Aina, and the brand Morphe Cosmetics have since cut ties with Star.
Star was also accused of sexual assault and physical abuse by several former associates last year, as well as paying $10,000 in hush money to at least two of the accusers, according to Insider.
Star's attorney's have since called the accusations "false and defamatory."
Star's Twitter account said Friday that they would update the public with more information on the car accident in the coming hours.
