Many of Ethan’s friends and colleagues expressed their heartache surrounding his sudden death on social media. Presently, it’s still unclear what really caused his death though Ava said that he was allegedly struggling with addiction.
She said that addiction is a disease and she had to pull the makeup artist aside in recent weeks and talked to him about his usage. She added that those who were close to him were scared and she just wished she tried harder.
In another tweet, Ava wished she could turn back time and listened to Ethan when the influences told her he wanted help. According to her, Ethan was well liked and respected in the beauty industry. Last year, he started using drugs because of too much pressure of being famous at his age. She added that recently he became problematic caused by drug induced mania. She also said that he was a good person and he didn’t deserve to die.
In conclusion, Ava considers herself lucky to have known Ethan who had given and helped her so much. He was a real friend who wanted her to win.
Many in the YouTube community and beauty industry had spoken up about his passing. Manny MUA took to Twitter and wrote “rest in peace ethan @trashqueenethan you were so incredibly talented at such a young age. I know he’s made many many mistakes… but to say he deserved to pass away is horrible and inhuman. i pray for his family and loved ones, a horrible loss.”
Meanwhile, Cole Carrigan wrote a touching message honoring Ethan on Instagram. He wrote, “I know we haven’t been the closest recently but during times like this it doesn’t matter. You have inspired me with your makeup looks ever since I first started makeup, you were my first real friend in this messed up industry when I was nothing and treated me equal. U were my first collab I ever did and I felt so cool that you wanted to do it with me. The beauty community lost an extremely talented soul today and may you rest easy.”
Cole concluded by writing that his prayers go out to Ethan’s family and closest friends. He also reminded them not to hesitate to reach out if they need anything.
On the other hand, influencer Grace Anne Auten also shared a message for Ethan Is Supreme on her Instagram. She wrote, “I love you. I can’t believe I have to say goodbye so soon. We just talked a couple days ago, when you sent me a video of the disposables that had just come in from your visit here. F–k. I f–king hate it here. I wish I could say more..but there just aren’t any words. I love you. I believe you’re still here for me.”
Rest in peace, Ethan Is Supreme.
