Jaclyn Hill has seemingly left social media following backlash against her disastrous lipstick launch.

On Wednesday, the beauty YouTuber appears to have deleted her Instagram and Twitter pages. Her YouTube channel, however, is still active. Many are now speculating why Hill seemingly chose to delete the two accounts.

While some believe Hill needed a break from the internet to protect her mental health, others believe a recent YouTube video posted by Marlena Stell, the CEO of cosmetics brand Makeup Geek, led her to step away. Some people have also accused Hill of attempting to hide information about her makeup brand, Jaclyn Cosmetics, and gain pity from her followers.

Hill did not release an official statement before seemingly deleting her accounts

While Hill didn't alert her fans before her social media accounts disappeared, TeaSpill, an account that follows drama on YouTube, screenshotted a tweet from Hill before her page was taken town.

In the tweet, Hill said she deleted something she posted because she "immediately got hateful comments," and needed "to protect [her] mental state." It's unclear as to what deleted post Hill was referring to.

Hill seemingly deleted her accounts one day after Marlena Stell, the CEO of Makeup Geek, released a revealing video about YouTube's beauty community

On Tuesday, Marlena Stell, the CEO of beauty brand Makeup Geek, released a video titled "Dear Influencers" on YouTube.

Throughout the video, Stell detailed her experiences working with both small influencers and famous beauty moguls, including Manny MUA, James Charles, and Hill.

When speaking about Hill, Stell shared a story about the production of the YouTuber's lipsticks, which some say were embedded with contaminants and gave them bumps and swelling.

According to Stell, she ran into Hill on June 6, 2016, at a cosmetics laboratory that created Makeup Geek concealers. The products, however, were never released, as Stell said she discovered shards of plastic, fingerprints, hair, and other contaminants embedded inside.

"After I got my concealers that had all of these issues with them, I had let Jaclyn know," Stell said in her video. "I was like, 'Look, I've had issues with these concealers, I know you were at this lab or whatever - I don't know who is doing your lipsticks, honestly - but don't work with this lab because I had a really s----- problem with them."

"The whole [beauty] industry behind the scenes now knows that this one specific lab has had an issue multiple times with multiple people producing s----- product," she continued.

"I cannot say for sure if [Hill's] lipsticks are made at that same lab," Stell said. "I'm not there on the production line to see it physically. I'm just saying that if I see you at this lab, and then I see that these products are here - like, I gave you recommendations for other labs to work with."

Stell did not disclose the names of any labs she mentioned in her video. INSIDER has reached out to Stell to ask for more details.

People are now questioning why Hill's social media accounts have disappeared

On Twitter, some people said they think it's understandable that Hill would need a break from the internet following the massive backlash she's received in recent weeks following the release of her lipsticks.

Some people also urged others to be cautious of the messages they send Hill on social media.

However, a YouTube drama account called HereForTheTea2 screenshotted a recent image from the fan account and re-shared it on Instagram.

According to HereForTheTea2, JaclynHillCloset said they reached out to the mother of Hill's boyfriend, who said Hill "is safe" but "needs time."
