After a few weeks of calm on Instagram, Deciem’s Brandon Truaxe, creator of the beloved inexpensive skin care brand The Ordinary, has had a tumultuous week. Emails obtained by Racked shed a little more light on what’s happening behind the scenes.

Racked was forwarded a series of emails that Truaxe appears to have sent yesterday to all Deciem employees, as well as to his attorneys and various Estée Lauder executives, including former CEO Leonard Lauder (Estée Lauder owns a minority stake in Deciem). The final email reads: “I’m done with DECIEM and EVERYTHING. No need to discuss.”

Racked reached Truaxe via email for comment, and his response was that he “clarified on Instagram.” A post on Deciem’s company Instagram page shows a picture of a Diesel watch. In the caption, several people and companies are tagged including President Donald Trump, Virgin Group’s Richard Branson, and Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg. The text discusses a meeting Truaxe is scheduling with Leonard Lauder. Since then, he has posted another video, telling followers “I love you and I’m going home ...” from the back of a car.

Over the past week, Truaxe posted and deleted a series of Instagrams, the tone of which was concerning to fans and followers. (A timeline can be seen at The Cut.) He apparently posted them from Biggin Hill Airport outside of London, which is used for private flights. He asked followers to call emergency services. He also emailed employees at his company, writing “911”; Racked was copied on this note. A follow-up email from Shamin Mohamed Jr., Deciem’s director of operations, indicated that he had spoken to Truaxe and “everything is ok.”

In emails obtained by Racked today, which Truaxe had sent to the whole company, he uses expletives and all caps, asking his staff to find him a flight out of Biggin and referring to rude treatment by employees there. At one point he also threatened to fire Mohamed if he and another employee did not respond.

This is the latest in a series of dramatic company conflicts that have played out publicly, including the firing of co-CEO Nicola Kilner and some US staff. Truaxe also received backlash over comments made on Instagram last month about a homeless person in front of a New York City Deciem storefront.

The business is growing rapidly. On Instagram, Truaxe has announced a new line for babies called Hippooh, a new body line called Loopha, various new The Ordinary products, and additional stores opening globally.
