Tattoo artist and reality show star Kat Von D has cut business ties with makeup artist Jeffree Star.

In a YouTube video , Von D says she’s ended her business relationship with Star because he refused to pay for logos designed by a mutual friend and used on Star’s products.

She said in an Instagram post that she’s also pulling the shade “Jeffree” from her makeup collection.

Von D has starred on a pair of tattoo-themed TLC reality shows, “Miami Ink” and “L.A. Ink.”

Star responded on Snapchat, saying Kat Von D’s statements were “full of some really interesting lies and some propaganda.”
