A P Louise employee has set the record straight after their “manifesting” on a recent live stream saw them “torn apart” by cruel trolls.
Declan was one of those leading the make-up company’s stream over the weekend, when he caused controversy among the thousands watching.

Some even went as far as to allege that he looked as though he may have been under the influence of a dangerous substance.
“Glad it wasn’t just me thinking it,” one person commented.
“There was a lot of going off screen, coming back and nose wiping.”
“I was in the live last night, there was definitely something off,” another said.

“Declan couldn’t even get his words out.”
“I cannot believe what I just watched,” a third wrote.
“I was in this live, they didn’t have a clue,” someone else added.
While another claimed Declan was “off his face”.
Others defended him, with Declan then releasing his own video on his TikTok page to set the record straight on what had actually happened.
“In the last 24 hours I’ve been going through a lot of hate and kind of abuse on the internet, on TikTok especially, and it’s been a lot,” he said.
“I just kind of want to talk about things and kind of just where my head’s at.”
He explained that he’d worked at P Louise all day, then gone onto the livestream and worked from 4pm to midnight.
“And from this live, people have been making, you know, I’ve taken videos and taken like screenshots and all this stuff of me manifesting,” he said, referring to a moment where he had closed his eyes and held his hands in a meditative pose.
“And been saying that I’ve been abusing drugs, taking drugs on a livestream, doing all this stuff.
“And it’s like, I just don’t get it. Like this, this has affected me…
“The live just, it turned dark very quickly at one point.”

He also claimed it’s the same “collective of people” that have been “tearing me apart on the Internet” over the past few months that continue to spread the nasty comments and false rumours.
“This isn’t fun. This isn’t easy,” he sighed.
“This is my life… think about what you guys actually put on the Internet.
“Think about what you guys are doing to someone because you don’t actually know what people are going through.
“People don’t know my actual struggles. I don’t owe it to a lot of people what I actually have been through.
“And I’ve been through a lot, okay?”
Declan, who has ADHD, autism and depression, also thanked those who have come out in support of him – including company founder Paige Louise.
And he concluded by saying: “If you guys don’t like me, that’s okay – I know who I am as a person.
“Just think about what you guys are doing.”
“Explaining a few things that’s happened,” Declan captioned the video.
“Must say thank you to everyone that has reached out and supported me.
“And thank you @Paige Louise, love you guys.”
“You’re also absolutely beautiful,” Paige added in response.
“I’ve watched clips and still don’t understand what the hate is about??” someone else wrote in the comments section.
“Please don’t ever let people get you down. You are so much better than them.
“Hold your head high, straighten that crown and show everyone how strong and powerful you are.”
“What a sad world we live in,” a third told Declan.
“My darling you are a beautiful person , with a beautiful soul, with so much to give.
“I am so so proud to have watched you grow into the person you are . This is not okay.
“But you speaking up shows a lot of strength, and also remember how many people you inspire and have inspired.
“Sending love my darling.”
