Has canceling gone too far?

So recently, there has been another confrontation between Jeffree Star and the Kardashian Jenner family. But surprisingly enough, it wasn't with the preeminent sisters but rather one of their kids.

There has been bad blood between them for a long time, but recently Mason Disick, (Kourtney Kardashian ten-year-old son) was also involved in the feud.

Addison Rae, a well known TikToker, started a live stream with the ten-year-old. They answered questions one being about "who's Mason's favorite beauty guru," which Mason replied with "James." 
They started about James Charles collaborating with David Dobrik again, so James can now do David's makeup. When Mason mentioned Jeffree's calling him "spoiled af."

Jeffree is a self-made millionaire as well as a makeup artist, entrepreneur, singer-songwriter, and owner of Jeffree Star cosmetics.

When news got around to Jeffree about the snarky comment Mason made, Jeffree didn't take this lightly as he worked hard to get where he is now.

Jeffree responded by mentioning the fact that everything he has he worked hard to get—suggesting that Mason is confused with his privilege versus him being self-made.

There was a split on what people thought of the situation. Some didn't take Jeffree response lightly, canceling him because he was picking a fight with a ten-year-old. Others were defending Jeffree for being self-made.

Honestly, this whole situation could've been avoided if his parents would've kept a better eye on him. His parents are public figures, whether they like it or not; their son is also in the spotlight. Anything he says can be misconstrued, and him being a minor makes him more vulnerable.
