YouTube star NikkieTutorials breaks her silence after being robbed at gunpoint

YouTube star Nikkie Tutorials has broken her silence since she was robbed at gunpoint at her home in Netherlands earlier this month.

The makeup artist, whose real name is Nikkie de Jager, shared her first YouTube video since the incident on Sunday – entitled “Letting you know I’m okay… Makeup Therapy”.

“Some of you have followed me for years,” she began her video, “and if you’ve been following me for years, you know that 2020 has been a ride.”

“In these years, I got to do some of the most amazing things, but also shared my darkest days with you…and I can tell you today is one of those dark days.”

“A couple of days ago, Dylan [her fiancé] and I were part of one of my worst nightmares,” she explained.

“We were robbed at gunpoint at our own home and, even though I can’t tell you too much because there’s still a very ongoing investigation, I do want to let you know that I am ok. I may not look like I’m ok right now, but I’m ok.”

“Having one of those worst nightmares come true is very surreal, but it also puts a lot of things in perspective,” she continued.

“Now more than ever you realize that family is everything and being in good health is even more important, so maybe one day I’ll be able to tell you everything, but right now it’s impossible for my mental state, but also for the law because we’re trying to do everything to make this right.”

“One of the silver linings in my life— now, here we go. This is going to sound so cliché – has always been makeup and that’s one thing I won’t let them take away from me is my love for makeup.”

“Makeup has helped me through my darkest days—losing my little brother, more stuff happening in my personal life. Makeup has always been that one thing that I could do to clear my mind, focus on some other stuff. It is literally therapy to me.”

“Every time I had one of those dark days, I had you there to support me and you have been there for me so much,” Nikkie thanked her fans.

“I can’t thank you enough for the messages I’ve seen on Twitter, on Instagram, everywhere and knowing that there’s such a huge group of people out there who are rooting for us, who are loving us, who are wishing us nothing but the best—thank you. Honestly, thank you.”

“Life is really unfair, but it is up to us to keep fighting every single second of the day,” she said. “I want to thank you for being there for us, for giving us time, for respecting us and for having our backs…In life, the most important thing is health, family and friendships.”

“I am so beyond grateful to be able to sit in my studio today and film a brand new video for you guys like nothing ever happened, because makeup will always be therapy to me and I want to thank you for providing a platform where I can truly be me and let go of all fears. I love you so much and hopefully I will see you guys on the next one.”

Sharing the news of the robbery earlier this month, Nikkie shared a statement on social media: “Earlier today one of my biggest nightmares became reality when we got robbed under gun point at our own home.”

“Dylan and myself got attacked but physically we’re okay. Mentally it’s a whole other story.”

“I’m writing this message for now to let you know that we are ‘okay’ and safe. Thank you for understanding as I take the next couple of days to myself,” she added.

Nikkie is one of the most well-known beauty gurus on YouTube, and has over 13.5 million subscribers on the platform.
