Shallon Lester is a professional “lifestyle influencer” who’s made a career off of fabricating celebrity gossip and giving out terrible relationship advice to teenage girls. As the former Deputy Editor and acting Editor-in-Chief of Star Magazine, a trashy celebrity tabloid magazine that you'd find at a local grocery store checkout aisle, Shallon saw the potential in monetizing her long-winded wine aunt ramblings, and thus made a career out of her YouTube channel. Before she became popular on the platform, there’s a chance you may recognize her from those awful kissing tutorial videos by Howcast that went viral around 6-7 years ago.
Shallon has flown under the radar for the longest time, given how she's closely tied to mainstream media and pop culture-type circles. That was until another YouTuber by the name of D'Angelo Wallace put out two videos addressing Shallon's content, her garbage takes, and some of her degenerate past + present behavior. Keep in mind that the majority of information about Shallon and resulting drama has come from D'Angelo's two videos, which I recommend watching or listening to if you have the time:
Intro to who Shallon is and D’Angelo explaining how he stumbled across her while researching Ellen DeGeneres.
Shallon's 1st video talking about how Ellen DeGeneres is a psychopath.
Claims that Ellen "allegedly" won't let her wife have a baby and keeps her home all day.
Tries to apply some bullshit psychoanalytical number-based test to prove that Ellen's a psychopath.
Literally compares Ellen to that of Adolf Hitler.
2nd video about how the pandemic will ruin Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's marriage.
Claims Meghan's some kind of master manipulator that convinced Harry to separate himself from the royal family.
Connects the separation point to the kind of behavior abusers are known for.
Believes Meghan's a morally bankrupt person.
Spouts some more easy-to-debunk lies about Meghan.
3rd video about Pete Davidson's breakup with Arianna Grande (thumbnail title: "How Beta Males Manipulate Women").
Shits on Pete for being bipolar, having BPD, and claims he has no intentions on fixing himself.
Believes that Pete going to rehab is just an excuse for him to get more drugs.
Shames Pete for openly talking about in an interview how he's self-harmed in the past.
Continues to shame Pete for bringing up his suicidal thoughts.
Essentially says that he either should have killed himself or simply not have brought it up at all during his interview.
Separate video's brought up where she shits on white men for suffering from anxiety and depression.
Videos about Shallon's absolute hatred for Selena Gomez.
Gossips about Selena being an alcoholic, despite having a recent kidney transplant at the time.
Goes on to say that she's practically wasting the organ that was donated to her.
As part of a "song review" of all things, Shallon (gleefully) predicts that Selena will eventually die from overdosing.
Old tweets showcasing Shallon (mid-to-late 20's) openly thirsting after a teenage Justin Beiber (around 16).
Selena and Justin were a couple for several years, hence the hate boner she has for Selena.
After D'Angelo's first video dropped, a wave of videos came out from other YouTubers talking about Shallon.
Shallon puts out a response (below) on her subreddit, which has far less engagement than that of her YouTube channel, Twitter account and Instagram page.
Calls the haters "clout-chasers."
Has privated her Twitter account + hid her YouTube channel's subscriber number.
Acts like the main criticism she's received was her needing to be more positive and acting less like an armchair psychologist in her videos.
Claims she blocked D'Angelo on Twitter because he doxxed her.
Can't provide proof that he doxxed her cause Twitter removed it (which it clearly did not).
Says she's filed a police report and is now under legal advice to not talk about any of this (yet does it anyway).
Shallon deflects all criticism, saying how the people calling her out are only doing it for the drama.
Downplays one of her past predatory thirst tweets as being "weird and lame"
She says this while having deleted tons of tweets + going private on Twitter.
Past tweets + blog posts where she talked about turning gay men straight.
Blames her past tweets on abusive relationships and depression.
Ends her response saying that she and her fanbase are strong women that sometimes offend people.
Also says that she's totally new to being a vlogger (which is bold-face lie).
Past video where she talks about why she prefers going for younger guys, as it's easier to control them in the relationship.
Doesn't believe men can be sexually traumatized by women.
Confirms that she's been lying about her age.
Currently claims to be around 35, though past interviews + info reveals her to be 37 or 39 y/o.
More past tweets revealed of her thirsting after teen boys.
Constantly brings up New York State's legal age of consent.
Video (featured below) of her interviewing a band made up of teen boys.
At one point she's practically molesting the lead-singer's hair.
The band members tell her they're not really into sex, yet she continues to try and get them to be more sexually active.
At one point she tells them how she's had boyfriends younger than them, despite how they're all currently around 18 at the time.
Once again points to NY State's legal age of consent.
Tries defending herself over past racist and transphobic statements + videos brought to light.
Something about Mississippi's culture being summed up as poor black people and shrimp(?).
Something about how BTS all look the same and that they look like white women.
Says that she can't be racist cause she had an ex-boyfriend who was black, helped raise money for a black family, and worships at a predominantly black church.
None of this relates to people saying she's racist toward asians.
Something something calls a trans-man an "it" and a "thing."
Conclusion: Shallon (and her blind supporters) needs to get her shit together.
TL;DR: Shallon has a history of putting out terrible videos, blogposts and tweets showcasing her hypocrisy toward men, bigotry toward mental illness, and all-around predatory behavior toward teen boys. She practically refuses to own up to any of the legitimate criticism she's received, and has instead defaulted to playing the victim.
Not even the few comments on the video from 10-11 years ago felt that her interview was in the least bit appropriate:
And lastly, a few select pics from her Instagram, and the gem that is her LinkedIn page:
No idea how it's possible to have your LinkedIn profile associated with a convicted scam artist, sexual abuser and child sex trafficker. Must be some kind of accomplishment.
