For more than a decade, Jaclyn Hill has been a household name in the beauty influencer scene. During this period, she has established a solid reputation and amassed millions of fans. Collaborations with firms such as Becca and Morphe only contributed to her illustrious resume.
However, the influencer has been involved in a number of issues. The most recent was her newest TikTok (@jackattack) video, in which Hill and her companion pretended to consume each other’s blood.
Jaclyn Hill pretended to swallow blood in a TikTok video.
The influencer shared a video in which she and her boyfriend, Jordan Farnum, were perplexed by Megan Fox’s interview in which she admitted to drinking Machine Gun Kelly’s blood. The duo then drank two shot glasses filled with dubious crimson liquid. Megan Fox said in an interview with Glamour Magazine UK that she and her fiancé, Machine Gun Kelly, ingested a few drops of each other’s blood for ceremonial reasons.
Jaclyn Hill’s video was not favorably welcomed by her admirers. Many questioned her religious beliefs, accusing her of encouraging cult behavior and satanism.
Amanda Ensing shared a TikTok screenshot with the following text:
“It’s a joke, according to beauty influencers. Consider normalizing and joking about consuming someone else’s blood. Please assist us, Lord.”
Jaclyn Hill responded to the claim on Instagram. She posted a video on her Instagram story in response to a follower’s remark that read:
“Jaclyn why? You say you love Jesus, and yet you do this? It isn’t humorous; it is diabolical. You have so many people looking up to you, and you mainstream and encourage it? I practically purchase everything you make. Don’t sink to this level, dude. It’s absurd.”

She said that she had gotten about a thousand such DMs from fans and followers, and that the first reaction to the video was good and hilarious, but that it quickly went sour. She further claimed that the TikTok video was a prank intended to parody the activity/ritual. She went on, stating,
“I don’t want to delve into spirituality because I adore Jesus. I am a believer with a strong faith. This was a joke, and if they want to use it for demonic or satanic rites, that’s their problem. That is not my trip, but it is theirs. As a joke, Jordan and I drank beet juice, mocking how ludicrous it is that they are drinking each other’s blood. Don’t come looking for me or my beliefs.”
She went on, saying:
“I didn’t think of it as demonic; I just thought it was the most ludicrous thing I’d ever heard in my life. And that was amusing to me. Someone wrote after I uploaded it that it was a Satanic ceremony to welcome the devil. And I was like, ‘Oh my God,’ because I was just fooling around.”
Jaclyn Hill’s beliefs were also called into doubt in March 2020, when it was revealed that her father was a member of a cult. The beauty influencer chastised them, claiming that others were unfairly criticizing them. She said that she hadn’t seen her biological father in eleven years.
