NikkieTutorials comes out as transgender after facing threats of blackmail.
International beauty YouTuber, NikkieTutorials, has over 25 million followers on YouTube and Instagram combined. But while maintaining a focus on her skill as a makeup artist, the Netherlands-native, whose real name is Nikkie de Jager, has kept her personal life private — until now.
“By the time that I was 19, I fully transitioned. I transitioned while on YouTube,” she explained. “I have literally grown up and transformed into me in front of all of you.” de Jager went on to explain that the content on her channel remained beauty-centric as not only an escape from what she had been going through in her real life as a young person transitioning but also a look into the world that she wanted so badly for herself.
Even after revealing the transformation that she’s gone through herself, de Jager told her viewers that sharing her truth shouldn’t change anything. “The last thing I want in my life is for you to not trust me anymore or to look at me with different eyes or look at me in a different manner, or think that I have changed,” she said. “I have changed a bit because damn this feels liberating and freeing. But I, at the end of the day, am still Nikkie and nothing changes about that.
