James Charles, a name so chilling

0:00:05.111,0:00:07.259
that it requires a trigger warning.

0:00:07.259,0:00:09.011
Trigger warning: James Charles.

0:00:09.011,0:00:11.247
You can say a lot of things about[br]James Charles.

0:00:11.247,0:00:12.411
Most of them are bad.

0:00:12.411,0:00:13.943
Like, really bad.

0:00:13.943,0:00:17.097
But objectively, he is one of the most[br]well-known

0:00:17.097,0:00:19.742
influencers from the last 10 years.

0:00:19.742,0:00:21.912
And because of how much exposure

0:00:21.912,0:00:25.763
and business success he saw[br]over the years,

0:00:25.763,0:00:30.643
James Charles is truly somebody who[br]could have had it all

0:00:30.643,0:00:34.169
if only he wasn't a piece of shit.

0:00:34.169,0:00:38.048
If you're watching this video, odds are[br]you've heard of James,

0:00:38.048,0:00:40.948
or you've at least heard of his infamy.

0:00:40.948,0:00:45.318
You may have had the petrifying[br]experience

0:00:45.318,0:00:47.078
of seeing his BBL or hearing him say

0:00:47.078,0:00:49.428
"Hi sisters!"

0:00:49.428,0:00:52.560
This guy's digital footprint has [br]some of the funniest

0:00:52.560,0:00:55.527
and grossest shit I have ever seen.

0:00:55.527,0:01:00.145
Because as we'll get into, he is a massive[br]creepo, freako,

0:01:00.145,0:01:00.974
womp womp.

0:01:00.974,0:01:04.354
It is quite a tale.

0:01:04.354,0:01:08.949
So allow me to take you on an Unhinged[br]James Charles Deepdive.

0:01:19.157,0:01:22.737
James Charles (or James Charles[br]Dickinson)

0:01:22.737,0:01:27.744
was born on May 3rd, 1999 in Bethlehem,[br]New York.

0:01:27.744,0:01:31.639
And he is Emily Dickinson's third cousin[br]twice removed -

0:01:31.639,0:01:34.400
ignore that, it was a lie, I just lied.

0:01:34.400,0:01:37.380
In 2010, at the age of 11, he started his

0:01:37.380,0:01:40.457
very first YouTube channel called[br]JaysCoding.

0:01:40.457,0:01:44.530
This channel mostly consisted of him[br]covering songs like

0:01:44.530,0:01:46.124
"Pumped Up Kicks".

0:01:46.124,0:01:49.931
♫ "You better run, better run[br]faster than my bullet." ♫

0:01:49.931,0:01:52.031
"Before He Cheats" by Carrie Underwood.

0:01:52.031,0:01:55.565
♫ "Carved my name[br]into his leather seats." ♫

0:01:55.565,0:01:58.813
But most notably, this [br]"It Will Rain" cover

0:01:58.813,0:02:00.739
where he's wearing this wolf hat.

0:02:00.739,0:02:03.482
♫ "- morphine at my door." ♫

0:02:03.482,0:02:05.826
And although these childhood videos are[br]wholesome,

0:02:05.826,0:02:08.873
this would be the start[br]of a very troubling

0:02:08.873,0:02:11.247
pattern of him[br]singing unprompted.

0:02:12.807,0:02:16.129
Although my personal favorite video[br]that I found on JaysCoding

0:02:16.129,0:02:21.186
was this six-second upload of just[br]a image of an eye.

0:02:21.186,0:02:24.361
Like, bro really uploaded an[br]image to YouTube,

0:02:24.361,0:02:26.685
and that is so of the time.

0:02:26.685,0:02:31.023
But in 2015, he would launch his second[br]and main channel

0:02:31.023,0:02:33.997
that we know today as James Charles.

0:02:33.997,0:02:37.456
And this is where he started uploading[br]makeup tutorials, such as

0:02:37.456,0:02:43.180
serpent makeup tutorial and[br]Snapchat Galaxy makeup tutorial.

0:02:43.180,0:02:48.040
And as you can see, none of these look[br]particularly good.

0:02:48.040,0:02:51.226
In fact, they're pretty bad,[br]but I assure you

0:02:51.226,0:02:54.977
everyone's makeup looked[br]really bad in 2015,

0:02:54.977,0:02:57.582
so that really means nothing I guess.

0:02:57.582,0:03:02.248
But he was gaining a really decent[br]audience from posting these tutorials.

0:03:02.248,0:03:06.773
But the inciting incident, the[br]catalyst that would launch

0:03:06.773,0:03:11.778
James Charles' career, happened in[br]September of 2016.

0:03:11.778,0:03:18.199
And this moment would have irreversible[br]repercussions on society and the Internet.

0:03:18.199,0:03:20.621
James was 17 years old at this point,

0:03:20.621,0:03:23.763
and he had just taken his senior photos,

0:03:23.763,0:03:26.669
which came out fugly according to him.

0:03:26.669,0:03:30.189
And so he hired the school[br]photographer to come back

0:03:30.189,0:03:33.517
and let him retake the pictures[br]with his ring light.

0:03:33.517,0:03:37.824
And as you can see here, his highlight is[br]definitely going off,

0:03:37.824,0:03:41.412
his brows have a good[br]Roblox look to them.

0:03:41.412,0:03:45.080
However, where I draw the line is[br]that man bun.

0:03:45.080,0:03:46.850
What the f**k?

0:03:46.850,0:03:49.360
Anyways, his friend convinces[br]him to post these

0:03:49.360,0:03:55.272
new glamorous pictures online[br]and they go extremely viral.

0:03:55.272,0:03:58.162
Like, this picture of James[br]was being shared

0:03:58.162,0:04:02.038
so much that CoverGirl noticed it.

0:04:02.038,0:04:06.319
And that is how he became the world's[br]first male CoverGirl.

0:04:06.319,0:04:11.636
Now because this was 2016, it stirred[br]controversy amongst conservatives.

0:04:11.636,0:04:13.625
And, you know, of course it did

0:04:13.625,0:04:17.444
because it's CoverGirl, not "CoverDong".

0:04:17.444,0:04:20.349
Seriously, though, I found this[br]old Twitter thread

0:04:20.349,0:04:24.031
where people are just bitching about this[br]like there's no tomorrow.

0:04:24.031,0:04:26.156
A great example is this one:

0:04:26.156,0:04:36.954
<i>reads tweet.</i>

0:04:36.954,0:04:39.412
There's also this one where[br]a woman compares

0:04:39.412,0:04:44.255
James being on CoverGirl to a white[br]person doing blackface.

0:04:44.255,0:04:46.818
Um... Nurse, she's out again!

0:04:46.818,0:04:50.678
Anyways, outisde of these randos making[br]a stink out of it,

0:04:50.678,0:04:53.297
this opened up a lot of opportunities

0:04:53.297,0:04:54.303
for James.

0:04:54.303,0:04:58.653
I mean, he went on Ellen, I guess that's [br]not that impressive, though.

0:04:58.653,0:05:02.713
As I mentioned in the Jojo Siwa video, you[br]could literally fart into a bucket

0:05:02.713,0:05:05.750
and somehow make it on Ellen at this[br]point in time.

0:05:05.750,0:05:08.827
And as his fame was escalating,

0:05:08.827,0:05:11.594
he did his first-ever fan meet.

0:05:11.594,0:05:14.724
Only 50 people showed up to this event,

0:05:14.724,0:05:16.730
and one of the videos that was taken there

0:05:16.730,0:05:19.343
was turned into a meme because at

0:05:19.343,0:05:24.958
some point James just sat down on the[br]ground and started singing.

0:05:24.958,0:05:33.437
♫ Bring me a little water now! [br]Bring me little water, Sylvie!♫

0:05:33.437,0:05:37.009
I don't know what my favorite part about[br]this meme is. It might be

0:05:37.009,0:05:40.003
the Snapchat caption that says "f**k it up"

0:05:40.003,0:05:43.797
which insinuates that he's doing a good[br]job singing right now.

0:05:43.797,0:05:45.739
Or it could be the fact that he raises

0:05:45.739,0:05:49.104
his finger up as if he's hitting those[br]high notes.

0:05:49.104,0:05:51.405
This was, of course, the very first time

0:05:51.405,0:05:53.244
that he was turned into a meme,

0:05:53.244,0:05:56.244
but it's certainly would not be the last.

0:05:56.244,0:06:01.342
This same year, James did a CoverGirl[br]promotion with Zendaya,

0:06:01.342,0:06:05.673
and oh my God, this has gotta be

0:06:05.673,0:06:10.386
one of the most unintentionally funny[br]videos I've ever seen.

0:06:10.386,0:06:13.554
So this video that they're doing is a[br]challenge to see what makeup

0:06:13.554,0:06:16.575
looks they could come up with in the[br]span of 5 minutes.

0:06:16.575,0:06:20.662
And so they're both in a rush and trying [br]to showcase these CoverGirl

0:06:20.662,0:06:22.274
products along the way.

0:06:22.274,0:06:27.935
And about 30 seconds in, James gets[br]befuddled and just starts

0:06:27.935,0:06:30.452
copying Zendaya and then acts like

0:06:30.452,0:06:33.158
everything he's doing was his idea.

0:06:33.158,0:06:35.629
- "I used it on my inner corner."[br]- "Same."

0:06:35.629,0:06:36.441
(Huh??)

0:06:36.441,0:06:39.157
- "I used this as a base for the blue."[br]- "Yeah, same."

0:06:39.157,0:06:42.528
And not only this, [br]the end result is so bad,

0:06:42.528,0:06:45.477
she absolutely ate him up, I can't [br]believe this video exists.

0:06:45.477,0:06:48.361
These two people should not exist in the[br]same universe.

0:06:48.361,0:06:51.612
James would soon also start doing collabs

0:06:51.612,0:06:56.471
with massive YouTubers like Tana Mongeau,[br]Joey Graceffa, and even

0:06:56.471,0:06:58.783
non-YouTubers like Maddie Ziegler.

0:06:58.783,0:07:01.356
However, he would soon find himself in his

0:07:01.356,0:07:06.829
very first controversy, and that is the[br]"Ebola" tweet.

0:07:06.829,0:07:09.913
On Febuary 16, 2017, James writes:

0:07:09.913,0:07:20.516
<i>reads tweet.</i>

0:07:20.516,0:07:23.277
So obviously this is very out of touch

0:07:23.277,0:07:28.061
and just kind of assumes that Africa is [br]like a diseased-riddled area,

0:07:28.061,0:07:31.092
and so people were not happy about this.

0:07:31.092,0:07:35.603
And so the very same day he [br]did his first public apology ever.

0:07:35.603,0:07:36.716
He wrote:

0:07:36.716,0:07:44.279
<i>reads tweet.</i>

0:07:44.279,0:07:48.909
And people definitely still thought James[br]was racist for, like, a good month

0:07:48.909,0:07:49.924
after this.

0:07:49.924,0:07:53.091
But the discourse got completely[br]overshadowed by the events of

0:07:53.091,0:07:59.576
March 5th, 2017, which was the birth of[br]Flashback Mary.

0:07:59.576,0:08:05.877
So what happened was that[br]James was at an event

0:08:05.877,0:08:10.902
and he had WAY too much[br]powder on his face,

0:08:10.902,0:08:15.481
and so when they took this picture of him,[br]it caused a flashback that gave him this,

0:08:15.481,0:08:18.819
like, ghostly, ghoulish, sinister[br]SCP look to him.

0:08:18.819,0:08:22.960
And the internet was immediately[br]obsessed with this.

0:08:22.960,0:08:26.620
Like, this is definitely one of the [br]biggest memes that has hit the Internet.

0:08:26.620,0:08:29.135
Ask anyone, ask your grandma, [br]ask your

0:08:29.135,0:08:31.421
local pastor, they know [br]Flashback Mary.

0:08:31.421,0:08:35.255
The main comparison that was being made[br]to James was of this spider from-

0:08:35.255,0:08:36.624
what is this show called?

0:08:36.624,0:08:38.785
It's called Miss Spider's[br]Sunny Patch Friends.

0:08:38.785,0:08:42.226
Like, I can't express to you [br]how many times

0:08:42.226,0:08:44.066
I've seen this image against my will,

0:08:44.066,0:08:46.743
I wish I could permaban it from my brain.

0:08:46.743,0:08:51.895
Something a little disappointing about [br]this meme, though, is that the

0:08:51.895,0:08:54.535
widespread image of Flashback[br]Mary is not the real one.

0:08:54.535,0:08:59.597
This is the real one, and I will say, the[br]flashback is still really bad,

0:08:59.597,0:09:03.982
but whoever edited this picture[br]just made it 70 times worse.

0:09:03.982,0:09:08.607
An interesting artifact of the time that I[br]found was this Redbubble page

0:09:08.607,0:09:15.748
that just exclusively sells Flashback Mary[br]furniture, such as clocks and pillows.

0:09:15.748,0:09:19.987
I really don't understand Redbubble,[br]people will just sell

0:09:19.987,0:09:22.217
tych-fck-ehchk-ANYTHING there.

0:09:22.217,0:09:26.935
Anyways, though, speaking of James[br]Charles' foundation, he does not

0:09:26.935,0:09:28.977
know how to match that shit.

0:09:28.977,0:09:32.779
Like, there's entire compilations[br]of him doing just that.

0:09:32.779,0:09:37.409
And in this video specifically, he[br]describes himself as having

0:09:37.409,0:09:38.264
warm undertones.

0:09:38.264,0:09:41.477
"<i>GASP.</i> That looks like it could be[br]such a good match for me,

0:09:41.477,0:09:44.336
everyone is convinced that my skintone[br]is, like, not warm."

0:09:44.336,0:09:46.888
Girl, you are PINK! You are PINK!

0:09:46.888,0:09:49.893
I think the funniest part about all[br]of this, though, is that he

0:09:49.893,0:09:54.888
literally has a YouTube video trying, [br]like, 40 different foundation shades, and

0:09:54.888,0:09:59.169
in the end he <i>still</i> chooses the wrong one.

0:09:59.169,0:10:04.211
Side note, though, another James [br]Charles-ism is that he chronically misuses

0:10:04.211,0:10:08.283
Facetune, especially in this era.

0:10:08.283,0:10:14.059
And to be fair, he's never hid that he[br]uses Facetune, but it just looks so bad

0:10:14.059,0:10:20.226
that I don't understand why he continues[br]to do it. Like, when I see these pictures,

0:10:20.226,0:10:26.496
I get uncanny valley, Russian[br]Sleep Experiment, creepypasta vibes.

0:10:26.496,0:10:31.241
Moving on, though, we have the "It"[br]debacle of 2017.

0:10:31.241,0:10:37.460
Now, the It debacle began on September[br]7th when James tweeted about

0:10:37.460,0:10:40.751
how he was gonna go see It, and[br]how excited he was about it.

0:10:40.751,0:10:45.188
But literally five minutes into the movie,[br]he started tweeting about how bad

0:10:45.188,0:10:47.761
it was, which, of course, is just nutty

0:10:47.761,0:10:49.808
because how have you already[br]decided that

0:10:49.808,0:10:52.948
you don't like the movie, and it's only [br]been five minutes?

0:10:52.948,0:10:56.016
And, like, why are you even on your phone?

0:10:56.016,0:10:59.214
About thirty minutes later,[br]James tweets again,

0:10:59.214,0:11:00.777
and this time, he says:

0:11:00.777,0:11:11.423
<i>reading tweet.</i>

0:11:11.423,0:11:15.262
Both of these tweets annoyed people for[br]obvious reasons.

0:11:15.262,0:11:19.475
Like, he's just been texting the entire[br]movie.

0:11:19.475,0:11:23.437
It doesn't even sound like he's been[br]watching it to know if it's bad!

0:11:23.437,0:11:27.366
And so in response to all the people[br]questioning why he's doing this,

0:11:27.366,0:11:28.463
he writes:

0:11:28.463,0:11:36.287
<i>reads tweet.</i>

0:11:36.287,0:11:37.958
But <i>then,</i>

0:11:37.958,0:11:40.932
Finn Wolfhard replies to one of these[br]tweets and says:

0:11:40.932,0:11:45.322
<i>reads tweet</i>

0:11:45.322,0:11:49.948
Granted, at this time, I think Finn was[br]12 or 13 maybe.

0:11:49.948,0:11:51.026
And so James tweets:

0:11:51.026,0:11:55.473
<i>reads tweet.</i>

0:11:55.473,0:11:58.759
Which sounds like he's accepting the[br]end of this.

0:11:58.759,0:12:02.686
Like, this should be the end of the[br]conversation.

0:12:02.686,0:12:08.035
But instead, he starts backtracking times[br]3,000, and he says:

0:12:08.035,0:12:15.582
<i>reads tweet.</i>

0:12:15.582,0:12:20.239
For the next few hours, people on [br]Twitter would not leave him alone

0:12:20.239,0:12:22.500
about why he was texting in the [br]movie theater.

0:12:22.500,0:12:23.982
And so he eventually says:

0:12:23.982,0:12:30.967
<i>reads tweet.</i>

0:12:30.967,0:12:33.925
And this dug his grave in even more.

0:12:33.925,0:12:37.988
Because people were like, "What do you[br]mean 'everyone does it,'

0:12:37.988,0:12:40.081
like, everyone does not do that!"

0:12:40.081,0:12:45.728
Personally, as an AMC Stubs member,[br]this pains me.

0:12:45.728,0:12:47.785
Follow me on Letterboxd so I can[br]feel important.

0:12:47.785,0:12:52.666
But this caused people to start doing[br]polls about whether or not people

0:12:52.666,0:12:55.883
actually texted people during movies.

0:12:55.883,0:13:00.858
And the results were, of course,[br]overwhelmingly NO.

0:13:00.858,0:13:02.087
No they do not!

0:13:02.087,0:13:05.941
And again, this should've been the end of[br]the conversation, but he just keeps

0:13:05.941,0:13:11.728
acknowledging it, and he ends up filming[br]an apology video in the backseat

0:13:11.728,0:13:13.066
of an Uber.

0:13:13.066,0:13:15.486
(James talking:) "I want to personally[br]apologize to Finn and anybody else

0:13:15.486,0:13:17.293
involved in the making of the movie It."

0:13:17.293,0:13:21.529
And regardless of all of this, a couple[br]days later, he ended up doing an

0:13:21.529,0:13:23.405
It makeup tutorial.

0:13:23.405,0:13:26.300
(James doing a Pennywise voice:) [br]"Hiya, sisters! James Charles

0:13:26.300,0:13:27.450
here, and welcome back to my[br]YouTube channel!"

0:13:27.450,0:13:30.571
Which, by the way, the first six[br]seconds of this video

0:13:30.571,0:13:35.075
changed my life for the worse, so I'm[br]gonna make <i>you</i> see this too.

0:13:35.075,0:13:37.997
(dubstep, intense music)

0:13:37.997,0:13:38.528
(scream sound effect)

0:13:38.528,0:13:41.242
In 2018, the "Sister Squad formed

0:13:41.242,0:13:44.247
And this was basically just of long

0:13:44.247,0:13:46.888
squad of these four best friends that

0:13:46.888,0:13:49.669
consisted of... I mentioned Ethan Dolan,

0:13:49.669,0:13:52.018
Grayson Dolan, and of course

0:13:52.018,0:13:56.039
James himself. Now Eathan Dolan / Grayson

0:13:56.039,0:13:59.434
had a huge Youtube channel that they

0:13:59.434,0:14:02.507
have been making videos on since 2014

0:14:02.507,0:14:04.429
And James ended up meeting them in late

0:14:04.429,0:14:07.772
2017 after he left he left a bunch of very

0:14:07.772,0:14:10.371
Questionably, thirsty Tweets on both of

0:14:10.371,0:14:12.434
Their Instagrams. These includes comments

0:14:12.434,0:14:15.700
Such as "Run me over with that

0:14:15.700,0:14:17.387
Motorcycle, daddy". "Choke me with that

0:14:17.387,0:14:19.532
Seatbelt, daddy".

0:14:19.532,0:14:21.636
And last but not least, " Hit me with that

0:14:21.636,0:14:22.824
Stick, daddy".

0:14:22.824,0:14:26.485
On June 9, 2018, the first ever "Sister

0:14:26.485,0:14:28.913
Squad" video was posted and this

0:14:28.913,0:14:31.803
Had a cultural impact like no other

0:14:31.803,0:14:34.089
Squad at the time. I don't care what

0:14:34.089,0:14:36.480
Anyone says. This is the truth.

0:14:36.480,0:14:38.339
The "Sister Squad" was such an

0:14:38.339,0:14:40.652
Immediate success and all their videos

0:14:40.652,0:14:43.527
Were pretty much just them hanging out.

0:14:43.527,0:14:45.943
Each one of the "Sister Squad" videos got

0:14:45.943,0:14:48.844
Around 30 million views a piece.

0:14:48.844,0:14:51.762
And so, they say that people were

0:14:51.762,0:14:54.282
invested.

0:14:56.838,0:15:00.599
In this friend's group dynamic

0:15:00.599,0:15:02.485
'It would be an understatement.

0:15:02.485,0:15:06.620
The most notable dynamics was that of.

0:15:06.620,0:15:07.032
Emma and Grayson because it was heavily

0:15:07.032,0:15:08.714
theorized that they secretly dating while

0:15:08.714,0:15:10.579
fans were constantly speculating them.,

0:15:10.579,0:15:13.179
making entire compilations of their

0:15:13.179,0:15:16.777
interactions. And secondly was the

0:15:16.777,0:15:18.790
dynamic between James and Grayson.

0:15:18.790,0:15:20.727
It was pretty much an open secret that

0:15:20.727,0:15:23.357
James had a crush on Grayson and there's

0:15:23.357,0:15:27.477
entire compilations of him unsuccessfully

0:15:27.477,0:15:29.650
flirting with him. And there's

0:15:29.650,0:15:34.432
definitely some of the incidents were

0:15:34.432,0:15:35.187
preplanned as a joke, but there's

0:15:35.187,0:15:37.251
also many that were pretty much very raw.

0:15:37.251,0:15:40.521
Very real like you can feel the rejection

0:15:40.521,0:15:41.692
in the air like <i>groaning</i>

0:15:41.692,0:15:44.754
this is very important to remember when

0:15:44.754,0:15:48.140
we get to bisister, so just keep this is

0:15:48.140,0:15:51.529
in mind that this group being able to

0:15:51.529,0:15:53.912
make millions and millions of views per

0:15:53.912,0:15:55.561
video and despite the way they seem so

0:15:55.561,0:15:58.253
close in these videos. These two things

0:15:58.253,0:16:00.738
have appeared to cause some turmoil

0:16:00.738,0:16:04.357
because by February 4th, 2019, Emma

0:16:04.357,0:16:07.571
unfollowed all of them and to be fair,

0:16:07.571,0:16:11.008
she did unfollow everyone but like six

0:16:11.008,0:16:13.368
people and posted on her story that she

0:16:13.368,0:16:16.774
had done that for a social media purge.

0:16:16.774,0:16:19.461
But to be honest, it doesn't really make

0:16:19.461,0:16:20.973
sense because if you are doing a social

0:16:20.973,0:16:24.597
media purge I think you still follow your

0:16:24.597,0:16:26.882
closest friends and just not anyone else.

0:16:26.882,0:16:29.739
So it kinda seemed like a convenient, uh,

0:16:29.739,0:16:32.764
excuse. And James Charles's response to

0:16:32.764,0:16:35.604
this was this tweet, "I posted a beautiful

0:16:35.604,0:16:38.531
makeup look today but you wouldn't know"

0:16:38.531,0:16:41.242
In November of 2018, James released his

0:16:41.242,0:16:43.874
first ever makeup pallet. And this, of

0:16:43.874,0:16:46.496
course, was James X Morphe. Now, let me

0:16:46.496,0:16:49.802
tell you, this pallet was extremely

0:16:49.802,0:16:53.047
popular at the time. Everyone that I

0:16:53.047,0:16:55.551
knew had this, I had this, and it was just

0:16:55.551,0:16:58.797
generally really well recieved. So this

0:16:58.797,0:17:01.523
new level of entrepreneurship really

0:17:01.523,0:17:05.516
brought him up a threshold of passionate

0:17:05.516,0:17:08.491
passionate fans. Like he did an appearance

0:17:08.491,0:17:10.787
at a Morphe store in Birmingham and

0:17:10.787,0:17:15.832
8,000 people showed up to the mall to see

0:17:15.832,0:17:18.607
him and it literally caused gridlock

0:17:18.607,0:17:21.044
outside of the store, like people were

0:17:21.044,0:17:23.867
trapped in their cars. That is how

0:17:23.867,0:17:27.925
popular he was at the time. However, it

0:17:27.925,0:17:30.509
wouldn't be long until James found himself

0:17:30.509,0:17:34.554
in another controversy. Also, oh my god, I

0:17:34.554,0:17:36.824
almost forgot to mention that he was

0:17:36.824,0:17:39.901
singing unprompted in front of this Morphe

0:17:39.901,0:17:40.575
as well.

0:17:40.575,0:17:44.203
<i>singing</i>

0:17:44.203,0:17:47.960
The 2019 Sisters Tour. So James was doing

0:17:47.960,0:17:51.099
a tour across the country and the most

0:17:51.099,0:17:53.578
expensive ticket that you could buy to see

0:17:53.578,0:17:58.241
him was $500. Which, a lot of people

0:17:58.241,0:18:00.926
were quick to call a scam. And he received

0:18:00.926,0:18:03.592
a ton of backlash for this. Personally, I

0:18:03.592,0:18:05.810
don't think this was a scam because you

0:18:05.810,0:18:08.449
were going to get what you paid for. Like,

0:18:08.449,0:18:10.102
it says right here what's included with

0:18:10.102,0:18:13.424
this. It says, "Exclusive hangout with

0:18:13.424,0:18:16.304
James Charles and the other Sister VIPS.

0:18:16.304,0:18:18.612
One on one photo with James Charles.

0:18:18.612,0:18:22.157
Exclusive Sisters VIP goodie bag. And

0:18:22.157,0:18:24.796
exclusive autograph tour laminate. Front

0:18:24.796,0:18:28.255
row seats and early access to merchandise

0:18:28.255,0:18:30.904
vendors". Okay, that last one is crazy.

0:18:30.904,0:18:34.008
Like, if your spending $500, I think you

0:18:34.008,0:18:36.251
should get some free merch. In no way do I

0:18:36.251,0:18:39.261
feel like this is worth $500 and like, in

0:18:39.261,0:18:41.254
my perspective, I would feel like an

0:18:41.254,0:18:44.455
asshole to hide a meet and greet with me

0:18:44.455,0:18:47.591
behind a $500 paywall. However, if you

0:18:47.591,0:18:50.280
really wanted to have all that stuff and

0:18:50.280,0:18:53.508
spend $500, that is your business. James

0:18:53.508,0:18:55.921
did say that he would try to talk to his

0:18:55.921,0:18:58.736
team about lowering the prices, but they

0:18:58.736,0:19:01.059
did remain the same. And in case your

0:19:01.059,0:19:06.045
wondering what the luxury VIP James

0:19:06.045,0:19:09.701
Charles experience was like, there's a

0:19:09.701,0:19:11.740
video on YouTube titled, "I PAID $500

0:19:11.740,0:19:13.406
TO SING WITH JAMES CHARLES" and it's him

0:19:13.406,0:19:15.609
surrounded by a huge group of girls

0:19:15.609,0:19:19.983
singing Listen by Beyonce very poorly.

0:19:19.983,0:19:25.879
<i>singing</i>

0:19:25.879,0:19:29.062
A genuine perk I see for anyone who went

0:19:29.062,0:19:31.160
on this tour though, was that they got to

0:19:31.160,0:19:34.584
witness the New Rules kick. In real time.

0:19:34.584,0:19:37.958
<i>video plays</i>

0:19:37.958,0:19:40.153
This became a meme just purely out of

0:19:40.153,0:19:43.590
being the perfect storm. People just found

0:19:43.590,0:19:45.844
out that some tickets to the tour cost

0:19:45.844,0:19:49.649
$500 and then they see this. Poor

0:19:49.649,0:19:52.805
singing and poor dancing. And that third

0:19:52.805,0:19:56.278
miscellaneous kick, muah.

0:19:56.278,0:19:58.062
Let's take a break to talk about something

0:19:58.062,0:20:01.504
that definitely isn't overpriced. Today's

0:20:01.504,0:20:04.534
video is sponsored by care/of. You guys,

0:20:04.534,0:20:07.475
I'm so excited that care/of decided to

0:20:07.475,0:20:10.471
partner with me again because I genuinely

0:20:10.471,0:20:13.343
love my vitamin packs. Like, care/of has

0:20:13.343,0:20:15.447
truly made remembering to take your

0:20:15.447,0:20:17.749
vitamins and incorporating them into

0:20:17.749,0:20:20.974
your wellness routines so convenient. And

0:20:20.974,0:20:23.027
all I had to do to get the vitamins that

0:20:23.027,0:20:25.339
were right for me, was take this little

0:20:25.339,0:20:28.082
online quiz and it basically asks you

0:20:28.082,0:20:33.790
questions about your lifestyle, and about

0:20:33.790,0:20:36.096
your health goals. Then boom. care/of

0:20:36.096,0:20:36.752
sends you doctor back recommendations

0:20:36.752,0:20:39.690
right to your door in compostable packets.

0:20:39.690,0:20:43.273
So! When I took my quiz, I said that I was

0:20:43.273,0:20:45.377
concerned about my skin health, my eye

0:20:45.377,0:20:48.345
health, and also that I wanted to improve

0:20:48.345,0:20:50.804
my focus. And they ended up recommending

0:20:50.804,0:20:53.380
me Astaxanthin, that's good for your eye

0:20:53.380,0:20:55.650
and skin health. Then I got some Ceramides

0:20:55.650,0:21:00.456
which is of course also good for your

0:21:00.456,0:21:01.432
skin health. I got some Rhodiola which is

0:21:01.432,0:21:03.706
for stress and focus. And honestly I could

0:21:03.706,0:21:06.613
really rave all day about all of these,

0:21:06.613,0:21:08.637
because since I've started taking these,

0:21:08.637,0:21:11.115
I'm hooked and I've never been more

0:21:11.115,0:21:14.028
satisfied with my skin, my hair, and my

0:21:14.028,0:21:16.732
focus. Like, I feel like I'm genuinely

0:21:16.732,0:21:20.705
getting good results.

0:21:20.705,0:21:21.645
Care/of also has these wonderful powders

0:21:21.645,0:21:23.863
that I love. I love their Collagen,

0:21:23.863,0:21:26.668
seriously. I have tried other collagens

0:21:26.668,0:21:29.622
and I hated them. They wouldn't dissolve

0:21:29.622,0:21:32.104
in my coffee. They had a weird taste.

0:21:32.104,0:21:34.023
And like they would just change the

0:21:34.023,0:21:36.550
consistency of the coffee itself, like

0:21:36.550,0:21:38.385
it was horrible. This is very important

0:21:38.385,0:21:40.016
to me, like you guys don't even get it.

0:21:40.016,0:21:41.788

Thank you so much Care/Of for sponsoring

0:21:57.776,0:21:59.997
us today. And now, back to the video.

0:21:59.997,0:22:04.717
Welcome back! Now we're entering the calm

0:22:04.717,0:22:06.992
before the storm and what I mean by that

0:22:06.992,0:22:11.689
is that we are on the cusp of dramageddon

0:22:11.689,0:22:16.186
This is literally April 2019 and no one

0:22:16.186,0:22:20.071
had a single clue that the biggest drama

0:22:20.071,0:22:22.975
of the internet would ever see what about

0:22:22.975,0:22:25.978
to occur. Now, let me introduce to the

0:22:25.978,0:22:27.112
central characters of the dramageddon.

0:22:27.112,0:22:28.741
Ok, so here we have Tati Westbrook. She

0:22:28.741,0:22:32.927
was a beauty guru as well as James'

0:22:32.927,0:22:37.832
mentor and close friend. He even referred

0:22:37.832,0:22:41.243
to her as a mother figure. As you can see

0:22:41.243,0:22:44.034
here, this is James doing Tati's wedding

0:22:44.034,0:22:47.565
makeup like that's how like this was how

0:22:47.565,0:22:48.614
close they were and prior to these

0:22:48.614,0:22:51.405
coming events, Tati had started her own

0:22:51.405,0:22:55.996
supplement company in 2018 called Halo

0:22:55.996,0:22:58.265
Beauty, and they basically sold like hair

0:22:58.265,0:23:01.619
vitamins and skin vitamins, hoopla hoopla.

0:23:01.619,0:23:04.934
Enter Jeffree Star. If you don't know who

0:23:04.934,0:23:08.096
Jeffree Star is, he's probably in the top

0:23:08.096,0:23:11.804
10 worst people on the internet and to

0:23:11.804,0:23:15.066
fully explain why that is that would

0:23:15.066,0:23:17.339
require like a whole three hour video.

0:23:17.339,0:23:19.037
<i>inaudible</i>

0:23:19.037,0:23:21.196
he has a very successful makeup company

0:23:21.196,0:23:23.478
called "Jeffree Star Cosmetics" and his

0:23:23.478,0:23:26.383
channel at this time was massive in the

0:23:26.383,0:23:28.993
beauty community. However, not

0:23:28.993,0:23:32.018
as massive as James' and side note,

0:23:32.018,0:23:35.554
in 2024 he lives on a farm and sells yak

0:23:35.554,0:23:38.507
meat. So, there's that. Our last big

0:23:38.507,0:23:41.809
dramageddon figure is Shane Dodsen.

0:23:41.809,0:23:45.872
Shane is probably also on that top 10 list

0:23:45.872,0:23:48.714
of worse people online. Come to think of

0:23:48.714,0:23:50.372
it, James is too, but we will cross that

0:23:50.372,0:23:52.525
bridge when we get there. What is

0:23:52.525,0:23:53.064
important to know now though, is that in

0:23:53.064,0:23:59.121
landscape of 2019 YouTube, for some reason

0:23:59.121,0:24:05.804
Jane Dodsen, like a respected

0:24:05.804,0:24:06.788
documentarian, and he has just done a

0:24:06.788,0:24:08.442
documentary series about Jeffree Star.

0:24:08.442,0:24:10.878
Looking back on it, these videos were not

0:24:10.878,0:24:13.953
good and 60% of them were just like

0:24:13.953,0:24:16.245
filler but each and every one of them got

0:24:16.245,0:24:17.933
around 30 million views. With that it

0:24:17.933,0:24:22.218
mind, this brings us to Coachella 2019.

0:24:22.218,0:24:28.314
This is where is all kicks off dude.

0:24:28.314,0:24:32.344
During this time, James was "seeing" an

0:24:32.344,0:24:34.994
influencer named Gage Gomez. "Seeing" it

0:24:34.994,0:24:35.826
in air quotes because it was less of an

0:24:35.826,0:24:37.428
actual relationship and more of actual

0:24:37.428,0:24:41.833
like bicurious experimental time on Gage's

0:24:41.833,0:24:44.681
end, but they were photographed at this

0:24:44.681,0:24:47.499
Coachella multiple times, which made fans

0:24:47.499,0:24:49.848
start to speculate that James had a

0:24:49.848,0:24:52.095
boyfriend. And so, a lot of people began

0:24:52.095,0:24:54.508
to tweet James about this and he actually

0:24:54.508,0:24:57.464
responded to one of these tweets saying

0:24:57.464,0:25:02.012
something along the lines of "No. I'm

0:25:02.012,0:25:03.602
sadly still single. I was manipulated by

0:25:03.602,0:25:05.565
a conman." I looked everywhere for this

0:25:05.565,0:25:07.680
tweet and read it and writing down

0:25:07.680,0:25:10.509
every thing it said at this point but

0:25:10.509,0:25:12.032
can't find it anymore. So, sources that

0:25:12.032,0:25:15.446
trust me. James just subtweeted

0:25:15.446,0:25:18.068
that Gage, several times over the

0:25:18.068,0:25:21.664
Coachella weekend, including this one

0:25:21.664,0:25:23.450
which says, "I'm sitting sobbing in my

0:25:23.450,0:25:26.058
hotel room at 8 am and have to be on set

0:25:26.058,0:25:28.277
in an hour. This is no one's fault but

0:25:28.277,0:25:31.155
my own because my dumbass continues to

0:25:31.155,0:25:33.294
go for the same type of insecure cute

0:25:33.294,0:25:36.055
boys and it gets me hurt, every single

0:25:36.055,0:25:37.845
time. I was started fucking to hate

0:25:37.845,0:25:43.353
myself". Tensions are rising. Things are

0:25:43.353,0:25:43.965
bubbling up, ok. And the next day of the

0:25:43.965,0:25:46.527
festival, James ended up getting mobbed

0:25:46.527,0:25:49.546
by fans because for some reason he didn't

0:25:49.546,0:25:52.623
have like a VIP ticket which would have

0:25:52.623,0:25:55.365
let him in like exclusive spaces to not

0:25:55.365,0:25:57.870
be around so many fans. And so, all these

0:25:57.870,0:26:00.862
people are running up on him right. He is

0:26:00.862,0:26:03.153
like, holy shit, what do I do? And this

0:26:03.153,0:26:06.807
led him to text his friend and fellow

0:26:06.807,0:26:08.029
beauty guru, Nikita Dragon. And he asked

0:26:08.029,0:26:10.300
her for help about the sicky situation.

0:26:10.300,0:26:12.947
And so, she connects him to the Sugarbear

0:26:12.947,0:26:15.059
Hair Team, because they're had their

0:26:15.059,0:26:18.247
own VIP tent space, and they were going

0:26:18.247,0:26:20.343
to let James in and in exchange for him

0:26:20.343,0:26:23.516
doing just one Sugarbear Hair

0:26:23.516,0:26:26.783
ad on his Instagram story and so,

0:26:26.783,0:26:28.966
with no other choice, he signs the

0:26:28.966,0:26:31.346
contract and gets in that tent. But let

0:26:31.346,0:26:33.618
it be known that Sugarbear Hair was a

0:26:33.618,0:26:35.508
very popular was a very popular vitamin

0:26:35.508,0:26:39.687
brand as in Beauty Vitamins, as in for

0:26:39.687,0:26:43.090
your skin and face. A.K.A. a direct

0:26:43.090,0:26:44.899
competitor to Tati Westbrook's

0:26:44.899,0:26:48.772
brand "Halo Beauty" Dramageddon arrived!

0:26:48.772,0:26:52.242
Her story in the making. On April 22,

0:26:52.242,0:26:56.445
James posted his contraction obligated ad

0:26:56.445,0:26:59.539
on Instagram. Notably, as you can see

0:26:59.539,0:27:02.648
here, he's actually promoting their sleep

0:27:02.648,0:27:05.531
gummies, not their skin or hair ones. But

0:27:05.531,0:27:07.536
he does this and then he gets on a plane

0:27:07.536,0:27:09.593
to Australia. For what I am about to say

0:27:09.593,0:27:12.784
next, at this point in time Tati

0:27:12.784,0:27:17.622
Westbrook is 37 years old and James was

0:27:17.622,0:27:20.556
only 19. By the time James landed in

0:27:20.556,0:27:23.237
Australia, Tati had already posted

0:27:23.237,0:27:26.941
multiple stories of her crying and

0:27:26.941,0:27:29.445
saying she feels so betrayed by a close

0:27:29.445,0:27:31.959
friend and she had been taken advantage

0:27:31.959,0:27:34.695
by somebody she thought she can trust and

0:27:34.695,0:27:37.974
she helped so much and it was very

0:27:37.974,0:27:40.551
obvious, like that she was talking about

0:27:40.551,0:27:43.740
James. Like he literally just posted that

0:27:43.740,0:27:46.593
Sugarbear Hair ad so, people added two

0:27:46.593,0:27:50.009
plus two together so unbeknownst to James,

0:27:50.009,0:27:52.549
thousands and thousands of people had

0:27:52.549,0:27:55.294
begun adding him on Twitter, messaging

0:27:55.294,0:27:57.704
him on Instagram. People he knew were

0:27:57.704,0:27:59.969
sending him messages being like what's

0:27:59.969,0:28:01.828
going on with you and Tati. And so, he

0:28:01.828,0:28:03.744
gets off the plane, right. He sees this.

0:28:03.744,0:28:06.050
He tries to call Tati. He tries to text

0:28:06.050,0:28:07.752
her. He tries to call her husband.

0:28:07.752,0:28:10.311
Neither of them answers but Tati just

0:28:10.311,0:28:14.211
continues to post on Instagram. So, he

0:28:14.211,0:28:17.023
decides to just make a public

0:28:17.023,0:28:19.414
apology post. So the apology read," I want

0:28:19.414,0:28:21.405
to publicly apologize to my close friend

0:28:21.405,0:28:23.343
Tati. She has been like a mother to me

0:28:23.343,0:28:25.614
since before my first days in this

0:28:25.614,0:28:28.410
industry and has given me more love so

0:28:28.410,0:28:30.402
important resources and advice that I

0:28:30.402,0:28:33.450
could ever ask for. This weekend I did an

0:28:33.450,0:28:35.826
Instagram story for sleep vitamins that

0:28:35.826,0:28:38.321
I have been taking because the brand helps

0:28:38.321,0:28:40.850
me with security when the crowd around me

0:28:40.850,0:28:43.302
at Coachella became unsafe. I did not

0:28:43.302,0:28:45.117
accept any money for the post. As most

0:28:45.117,0:28:47.335
of you know, Tati has a vitamin brand

0:28:47.335,0:28:51.194
which I take on a daily basis but at the

0:28:51.194,0:28:53.720
moment, I did not think about the

0:28:53.720,0:28:56.043
competition, which was a major oversight.

0:28:56.043,0:28:58.823
I've supported Tati both online and off

0:28:58.823,0:29:01.215
like she has done for me and I am

0:29:01.215,0:29:03.575
devastated that I hurt somebody that I

0:29:03.575,0:29:06.665
truly love and have endless respect for".

0:29:06.665,0:29:10.644
I think the mature thing for 37-year-old

0:29:10.644,0:29:14.038
Tati to do after seeing this would be to

0:29:14.038,0:29:16.641
just talk to him, but instead she just

0:29:16.641,0:29:19.854
continued ignoring him and posting and

0:29:19.854,0:29:22.451
posting about this situation and crying

0:29:22.451,0:29:26.651
online. And so, a few days later on May 4,

0:29:26.651,0:29:30.831
2019, Gabriel Zamora, another beauty guru,

0:29:30.831,0:29:34.267
posted this video titled "Makeup and

0:29:34.267,0:29:36.822
Opinions". And during this video, he

0:29:36.822,0:29:39.269
indirectly talks about the drama going on

0:29:39.269,0:29:42.069
between Tati and James, saying that it's

0:29:42.069,0:29:44.234
stupid that basically, Tati keeps like

0:29:44.234,0:29:46.561
sub tweeting about him but won't

0:29:46.561,0:29:49.153
actually say what's going on or just talk

0:29:49.153,0:29:51.042
to him and he's honestly so right, like

0:29:51.042,0:29:54.772
this 37-year-old woman just implying that

0:29:54.772,0:29:56.942
her 19-year-old colleague has done

0:29:56.942,0:29:59.942
something awful for days on end but then

0:29:59.942,0:30:02.172
refuses to say anything about it

0:30:02.172,0:30:04.516
to divulge more information and so

0:30:04.516,0:30:07.144
Gabriel concludes this segment of the

0:30:07.144,0:30:10.568
video by saying "Girl, go sit on the

0:30:10.568,0:30:12.456
internet and talk about it then". And

0:30:12.456,0:30:15.962
those words would unknowingly be the

0:30:15.962,0:30:20.090
final straw, the final catalyst for the

0:30:20.090,0:30:23.934
video that we all know today as the

0:30:23.934,0:30:29.148
"Bye sister". "Bye sister" is one of the

0:30:29.148,0:30:33.148
most iconic YouTube videos of all time.

0:30:33.148,0:30:37.404
Seriously, the cultural impact of this

0:30:37.404,0:30:40.733
cannot be minimized. Cannot be silenced.

0:30:40.733,0:30:43.730
I still remember where I was when "Bye

0:30:43.733,0:30:46.493
Sister" happened. It was a cold, windy

0:30:46.493,0:30:50.965
day. On May 10th, 2019, when Tati decided

0:30:50.965,0:30:54.989
that she needed to spill the tea "on

0:30:54.989,0:30:57.489
James' Charles". This video is insane

0:30:57.489,0:31:00.634
from start <i>gulp</i> to finished. It begins

0:31:00.634,0:31:04.008
Gabriel Zamora's famous last words, "Girl,

0:31:04.008,0:31:05.877
go talk about it on the internet then".

0:31:05.877,0:31:07.731
"If you are going to go on the internet

0:31:07.731,0:31:09.536
and cry and heavily imply that there

0:31:09.537,0:31:10.965
a horrible human being

0:31:10.965,0:31:12.779
and everybody can get what it is.

0:31:12.779,0:31:14.344
Girl, sit on the internet

0:31:14.354,0:31:15.604
and talk about it then".

0:31:15.613,0:31:17.943
Imagine being the person that made this

0:31:17.943,0:31:19.900
happen. But there were three major

0:31:19.900,0:31:21.959
claims that Tati makes in this video

0:31:21.959,0:31:24.622
against James Charles and let's just

0:31:24.622,0:31:27.619
tackle them bullet point by bullet point.

0:31:27.619,0:31:30.891
First and foremost, she claims that James

0:31:30.891,0:31:34.472
purposefully sabotaged her vitamin gummy

0:31:34.472,0:31:37.667
business by preorchestrating the Sugarbear

0:31:37.667,0:31:40.800
hair contract. Two, that James' obnoxious

0:31:40.800,0:31:43.676
and talks about c*ck and balls.

0:31:43.676,0:31:46.921
Three, and the most serious one, is that

0:31:46.921,0:31:50.085
he tries to manipulate straight men. But

0:31:50.085,0:31:52.078
let's start off with the vitamins. Tati

0:31:52.078,0:31:54.279
lists multiple ways in which she

0:31:54.279,0:31:56.709
supported James over the years by pouring

0:31:56.709,0:31:59.431
over contracts for him, setting up his

0:31:59.431,0:32:02.764
Google add cent by him even after he

0:32:02.764,0:32:05.551
tweeted about Ebola. But despite all this

0:32:05.551,0:32:07.470
stuff that she's given him, she claims

0:32:07.470,0:32:11.065
James gave her no warning before he posted

0:32:11.065,0:32:13.962
his Sugarbear Hair ad, and also that he

0:32:13.962,0:32:17.346
actually made the whole Coachella security

0:32:17.346,0:32:19.721
thing up like he wasn't getting bombarded

0:32:19.721,0:32:21.894
by fans or anything. He just already

0:32:21.894,0:32:24.529
planned to do the Sugarbear Hair ad. Her

0:32:24.529,0:32:27.074
reasoning is that there is no way that a

0:32:27.074,0:32:29.644
company would ever just go out of their

0:32:29.644,0:32:32.410
way to give you a contract just like that.

0:32:32.410,0:32:35.556
And so, he has to be liying and even if

0:32:35.556,0:32:37.957
there was a security problem.

0:32:37.957,0:32:41.129
Even if he was getting rushed by fans, he

0:32:41.129,0:32:44.080
should have simply walked away.

0:32:44.080,0:32:46.052
You should have walked away. You should

0:32:46.052,0:32:47.551
have held on to your integrity.

0:32:47.551,0:32:49.569
You're phony. I know that now.

0:32:49.569,0:32:52.073
These are all really interesting things

0:32:52.073,0:32:55.400
to say because at the high of James' fame,

0:32:55.400,0:32:57.565
I would think that a lot of companies

0:32:57.565,0:33:00.152
might want to leap at the opportunity to

0:33:00.152,0:33:02.102
work with him. I also kind of love it and

0:33:02.102,0:33:04.035
I am kind of gagged by the way that she

0:33:04.035,0:33:07.188
just says "walk away from people mobbing

0:33:07.188,0:33:07.910
you."

0:33:07.910,0:33:09.794
A lot of people are like were like what

0:33:09.794,0:33:11.606
is he supposed to do. It's dangerous.

0:33:11.606,0:33:12.614
Like leave. Go home.

0:33:12.614,0:33:14.785
Why are you drowning? Just breathe.

0:33:14.785,0:33:16.732
Why are you getting cyberbullying?

0:33:16.732,0:33:19.323
Walk away from the computer. She goes on

0:33:19.323,0:33:21.660
to blame him for potentially losing

0:33:21.660,0:33:24.192
thousands and thousands of dollars due

0:33:24.192,0:33:26.614
to his Instagram ad. Because nobody is

0:33:26.614,0:33:29.417
going to buy two different brands of hair

0:33:29.417,0:33:30.423
gummies.

0:33:30.423,0:33:32.274
It's not a palette. It's not something

0:33:32.274,0:33:33.676
that people buy multiples of.

0:33:33.676,0:33:35.867
Then she then contradicts herself by

0:33:35.867,0:33:38.057
saying that she doesn't needs ads. She

0:33:38.057,0:33:40.763
doesn't want ads and her product is

0:33:40.763,0:33:42.760
selling like hotcakes

0:33:42.760,0:33:44.719
We're selling like hotcakes. Like I don't

0:33:44.719,0:33:47.624
need to at this point. It seems like I

0:33:47.624,0:33:50.112
am going on about this first bullet point

0:33:50.112,0:33:53.643
for a while. It's because the majority of

0:33:53.643,0:33:57.494
the video is actually about the gummy

0:33:57.494,0:34:00.320
vitamins. She claims that James said

0:34:00.320,0:34:03.035
he couldn't advertise for halo beauty on

0:34:03.035,0:34:05.465
his channel because he had too many young

0:34:05.468,0:34:07.978
fans watching and he didn't want to like

0:34:07.978,0:34:10.614
market them supplements and so, she's

0:34:10.614,0:34:13.398
like "But here you are on your Instagram

0:34:13.398,0:34:17.017
story, selling sleep pills to kids which

0:34:17.017,0:34:21.700
is <i>whoa</i> thats a reach. Ma'am, these are

0:34:21.700,0:34:23.374
melatonin gummies.

0:34:23.374,0:34:25.985
Moving on to the fucking c*ck and balls

0:34:25.991,0:34:28.647
and straight boy allegation section.

0:34:28.647,0:34:31.349
Unfortunately, those two things are

0:34:31.349,0:34:34.992
interlinked in this video. So that's why

0:34:34.992,0:34:36.689
I'm roping them together. It's not

0:34:36.689,0:34:37.766
that I'm not taking

0:34:37.766,0:34:39.752
the last one seriously. It's that

0:34:39.752,0:34:42.229
Tati has... Tati has done this to me.

0:34:42.229,0:34:45.580
Tati claims that James tried to manipulate

0:34:45.580,0:34:48.470
a waiter at her birthday dinner into

0:34:48.470,0:34:51.326
thinking he was gay. She also claims that

0:34:51.326,0:34:54.526
he was saying very loudly explicit things

0:34:54.526,0:34:56.627
that he wanted to do to him.

0:34:56.627,0:34:59.004
But what was most shocking to her was the

0:34:59.008,0:35:01.622
fact that he was willing to talk about

0:35:01.622,0:35:04.277
all this in front of her family and his

0:35:04.277,0:35:06.538
own parents which is why we get the

0:35:06.538,0:35:09.869
iconic sucking d<i>ck and c</i>ck line.

0:35:09.869,0:35:11.657
Sucking and dick and cock. Like

0:35:11.657,0:35:13.081
I'm just like Oh my God

0:35:13.081,0:35:15.360
time and place and you did it at my

0:35:15.360,0:35:16.413
birthday dinner.

0:35:16.413,0:35:18.655
She claims she told James to leave the

0:35:18.655,0:35:20.540
waiter alone and that he was straight.

0:35:20.540,0:35:23.084
And in response he said it doesn't

0:35:23.084,0:35:25.470
matter. I'm famous. She concludes the

0:35:25.470,0:35:27.454
video with talking about some other

0:35:27.454,0:35:30.942
vague instances of James trying to

0:35:30.942,0:35:33.336
manipulate straight men and claims that

0:35:33.336,0:35:35.164
the only reason why she's posting this

0:35:35.164,0:35:37.644
is because it's a last ditch effort to get

0:35:37.644,0:35:39.949
through to him so that he will stop

0:35:39.949,0:35:42.820
trying to manipulate and seduce these

0:35:42.820,0:35:44.922
straight men. Okay, let me just do a

0:35:44.922,0:35:47.226
quick disclaimer here. I'm going to be

0:35:47.226,0:35:50.337
treating the bye sister allegations as

0:35:50.337,0:35:53.352
their own separate thing. Not really

0:35:53.352,0:35:56.099
trying to connect them to further

0:35:56.099,0:35:58.588
allegations because I feel like that will

0:35:58.588,0:36:01.232
get very crazy and twisted and that is

0:36:01.232,0:36:03.683
not what I want because a lot of bye

0:36:03.683,0:36:06.455
sister, as you will see, gets debunked.

0:36:06.455,0:36:09.560
Where as in the future. there are actual

0:36:09.560,0:36:14.064
victims that James like has with reciepts

0:36:14.064,0:36:15.407
So I don't want Dramageddon

0:36:15.407,0:36:17.388
and like that world

0:36:17.388,0:36:19.720
intermixing out of respect.

0:36:19.720,0:36:22.895
And so, with that in mind, we

0:36:22.895,0:36:24.831
need to talk a little bit more about the

0:36:24.831,0:36:27.698
elephant in the room with bye sister and

0:36:27.698,0:36:30.863
that is that Tati spent the majority of

0:36:30.863,0:36:34.361
video talking about her beef with James,

0:36:34.361,0:36:37.428
with the vitamins, but then in the end

0:36:37.428,0:36:40.341
claims that she making this video because

0:36:40.341,0:36:43.804
of the sexual ab*use allegations.

0:36:43.804,0:36:46.130
Including but not limited to the sexual

0:36:46.130,0:36:48.356
harrassment of the waiter at the

0:36:48.356,0:36:50.321
restaurant. Also just have to mention

0:36:50.321,0:36:52.625
it, I don't know if you noticed this but

0:36:52.625,0:36:56.339
the Jeffree Star Lipsticks sitting in the

0:36:56.339,0:37:00.382
background of this video. Oh My God!

0:37:00.382,0:37:04.685
Move over classic literature writers.

0:37:04.685,0:37:07.791
That is the best foreshadowing I've ever

0:37:07.791,0:37:11.601
seen. Regardless, the immediate public

0:37:11.601,0:37:14.741
response to bye sister was cateclismic.

0:37:14.742,0:37:17.972
The video quickly accumulated 30 million

0:37:17.972,0:37:22.222
views and a trend sparked within the hour

0:37:22.222,0:37:25.654
of burning or destroying your James'

0:37:25.654,0:37:28.424
Morphe palatte . There are many of these

0:37:28.435,0:37:31.268
compilations. This one alone is 10 minutes

0:37:31.268,0:37:34.072
straight of people just destroying their

0:37:34.072,0:37:37.185
James Morphe palatte. James Charles

0:37:37.185,0:37:40.123
is over party was trending on Twitter.

0:37:40.123,0:37:42.148
My personal memory of this is

0:37:42.148,0:37:44.593
going on Snapchat and seeing on

0:37:44.593,0:37:46.926
one of my friend's stories that there was

0:37:46.926,0:37:49.897
a line out the door at my local Ulta

0:37:49.897,0:37:52.708
of girls were just returning the

0:37:52.708,0:37:55.079
James' palette. I really, really wish I

0:37:55.079,0:37:57.001
could have found footage of that because

0:37:57.001,0:37:59.236
it contributes to a bigger picture here

0:37:59.236,0:38:02.086
and that is, I think, everybody had a

0:38:02.086,0:38:04.837
little bit of mass hysteria with this

0:38:04.837,0:38:07.580
because I have just never seen people

0:38:07.580,0:38:10.295
react in the way people reacted

0:38:10.295,0:38:13.140
to bye sister. Like people have done other

0:38:13.140,0:38:16.391
alleged things that are of equivalent or

0:38:16.391,0:38:19.848
worse and we have not seen

0:38:19.848,0:38:20.811
something like this

0:38:20.811,0:38:24.139
happen. Anyways, within all this havoc,

0:38:24.139,0:38:27.459
later that night James post an apology

0:38:27.459,0:38:31.069
video simply titled "Tati". This is a nine

0:38:31.069,0:38:33.665
minute video but I am willing to bet the

0:38:33.665,0:38:36.700
actual amount of talking in it is more so

0:38:36.700,0:38:39.266
around like four because in it,

0:38:39.266,0:38:42.385
James is very clearly jetlagged and

0:38:42.400,0:38:46.119
tired like he's whispering. He's talking

0:38:46.119,0:38:48.089
really slow.

0:38:48.089,0:38:52.844
I met Tati.

0:38:52.844,0:38:55.414
Not only that, he only apologizes

0:38:55.414,0:38:57.788
for disrespecting Tati. He doesn't

0:38:57.788,0:39:02.350
confirm or deny any other allegations. he

0:39:02.350,0:39:04.513
just needs to be more careful of his

0:39:04.513,0:39:06.462
relationships in the future in the

0:39:06.462,0:39:10.175
public eye. And so, posts and to say that

0:39:10.175,0:39:14.079
people um didn't receive it well would be

0:39:14.079,0:39:16.191
a flub. it would be a lil flub.

0:39:16.191,0:39:18.936
As soon as video dropped, a ton of

0:39:18.936,0:39:20.723
channels began to live

0:39:20.723,0:39:23.725
streaming. The live sub count of James

0:39:23.725,0:39:27.033
Charles losing thousands and thousands

0:39:27.033,0:39:29.890
and thousands of subscribers meanwhile,

0:39:29.890,0:39:33.381
showing Tati gaining subs. I'm not joking

0:39:33.381,0:39:35.081
with you guys when I say, there was

0:39:35.081,0:39:37.886
probably like 300 of these channels all

0:39:37.886,0:39:41.863
active at once and in the live chat people

0:39:41.863,0:39:45.523
were goading them on like a sports event

0:39:45.523,0:39:49.643
before terminally online makeup girlies

0:39:49.643,0:39:52.187
At least partially because of these

0:39:52.187,0:39:54.952
live sub trackers, James Charles would

0:39:54.952,0:39:57.645
become the first Youtuber to lose one

0:39:57.645,0:40:02.908
million subscribers in one day. There were

0:40:02.908,0:40:05.889
a ton of memes about the Tati apology

0:40:05.889,0:40:08.348
video floating around and let's just

0:40:08.348,0:40:11.043
say all of the breathing in it did not

0:40:11.043,0:40:12.432
help the case.

0:40:12.432,0:40:17.474
*breathing

0:40:17.474,0:40:20.233
Meanwhile, a ton of people started chiming

0:40:20.233,0:40:22.662
in about the situation on Twitter and

0:40:22.662,0:40:25.271
even just kind of making things up to

0:40:25.271,0:40:28.314
insert themselves into the conversation

0:40:28.314,0:40:30.486
because it was so trendy.

0:40:30.486,0:40:33.393
For example, the singer Zara Larson posted

0:40:33.393,0:40:34.848
this tweet that said

0:40:34.848,0:40:36.853
"I'm cackling cause he hit up my

0:40:36.853,0:40:39.115
boyfriend in the dms several times

0:40:39.115,0:40:41.600
knowing damn well he's straight".

0:40:41.600,0:40:43.845
She would later go on to apologize for

0:40:43.845,0:40:46.455
that because she didn't realize that he

0:40:46.455,0:40:49.357
had only sent her boyfriend one message.

0:40:49.357,0:40:51.364
There was also some person making the

0:40:51.364,0:40:54.145
claim that in high school, James had

0:40:54.145,0:40:57.652
catfished the entire football team just

0:40:57.652,0:41:00.556
to trick them into sending him d*** pics,

0:41:00.556,0:41:04.218
which I mean, it's a wild claim.

0:41:04.218,0:41:06.590
I'm not saying impossible but it's

0:41:06.590,0:41:08.029
f******* wild, I'll say that.

0:41:08.029,0:41:10.827
At this point, people also mass

0:41:10.827,0:41:13.881
unfollowing James on Instagram, as well,

0:41:13.881,0:41:16.616
and some of the people unfollowed him

0:41:16.616,0:41:19.364
include people like the Kardashians,

0:41:19.364,0:41:21.940
Demi Lavato, Ariana Grande....

0:41:21.940,0:41:25.360
But most importantly to all of this, is

0:41:25.360,0:41:27.690
the fact that every single one of the

0:41:27.690,0:41:29.855
members of the sister squad unfollowed

0:41:29.855,0:41:32.937
him which affectively ended it.

0:41:32.937,0:41:35.952
The next day, May 14th, Gage Gomez

0:41:35.952,0:41:38.633
uploads a video titled " My first

0:41:38.633,0:41:41.460
YouTube video" and in it he talks about

0:41:41.460,0:41:44.538
how James having sub tweeted him had

0:41:44.538,0:41:48.065
actually, caused a shit ton of his fans to

0:41:48.065,0:41:51.268
his page and start threatening him and

0:41:51.268,0:41:53.812
harassing him. He also says that James

0:41:53.812,0:41:57.366
realized that these sub tweets were wrong

0:41:57.366,0:42:01.616
because he ended up apologizing to him

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and deleting them, but essentially he just

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
wanted to clear his name out of this.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Confusingly though, shortly after this

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
video was posted he went on a Instagram

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
live stream and when somebody asked him

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
if he was single he said that he had just

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
been dumped and seemed to imply that

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
it was either James or related to James

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
in some way.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Someone by the little name of, um

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I'm not gonna say it. It starts with a J.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
What makes this even more convulated to

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
is that I found out on one of the days

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that James was at Coachella, he went to

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
brunch with this guy named DIllon Gike

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I think and the *gasp it all is, is that

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
this person Dillon is Gage's friend and

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
speculated more than friend. So there's

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that interesting thing. Then Dillon would

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
comment on Gage's page calling clout

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
chaser. I don't know what kind of friend

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
dynamics or anything more happening here,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
but it made me very confused about Gage's

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
stance in all of this. Shortly after that

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
live stream though Gage would post

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
another video that just made me even more

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
confused because in this video he said

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that James tried to manipulate him to

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
thinking he was gay, even after telling

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that he was straight multiple times but

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
James kept pursuing him. I have

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
nothing more to say about this video even

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
though I totally believe it could have

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
happened but also, I am confused.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
*Popping noise

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Alrighty, Here we are.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I am just a little bit lost in it all.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Let's move on.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
While all this is going on, Ian Jeffree,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
A.K.A. James' little brother tweets out

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
" Why does everyone act so tough over the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
internet".

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And Jeffree Star chimes in within A.K.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
47 for no reason he says

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
"Why is your brother a predator?? Why'd

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
you really move back to NYC? Exactly.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Shut the f*** up".

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
For context, I guess Ian had moved back

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to New York City to be with their parents

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
recently, but saying this to a 17-year-old

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that probably has no idea what you are

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
talking about. It's so Jeffree Star. Like,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
at least he stays on brand like he just

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
continues to be a bad person.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But Jeffree ended up continuing he said,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
"There is a reason why I haven't seen him

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
since Tati's birthday in February. He is a

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
danger to society. Everything that Tati

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
said is 100% true.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
On the same day as these tweets, Sam,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the waiter from Tati's birthday party.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
"Sucking a dick and cock"

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Posted a video explaining his side of the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
story and basically, Sam explains that

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
James had asked another one of the waiters

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
for his number and if he would was single.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
He also complimented him on the way

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that he looked. Since he didn't get his

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
number, he left the restaurant and that

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
was that but later that night, Sam's

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
sister convinced him to dm James and talk

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to him again and so, he did and they

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
started talking. James apologizes for

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
flirting with him. At this point he

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
actually found it flattering.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The conversation escalated until James

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
invited him to his hotel room, and since

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Sam says he is bicurious he went to

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
go meet up with him. He says

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
they ended up making out for around

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
an hour at the hotel and that James'

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
is the worst kind of kisser he's ever had.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It's just...

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
If I am being honest, he is the worst

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
kisser I've ever kissed. Way too much

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
tongue. He then goes on to say that James

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
begged him to stay in the hotel with him

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
but because he did not enjoy the kissing,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
he decided to leave anyways. And now the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
following week, James offered to fly Sam

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
out to California for his birthday, but

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Sam told him that he figured out that he

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
was pretty much straight so it wouldn't be

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
right for him to accept the invitation. At

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
which point James became upset and told

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
him that he was not straight and that

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
he hoped that he would figure that out

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
sooner than later. The TLDR at the end of

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
this video is that the last draw for Sam

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to cut contact off with James was finding

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
out he was also talking to Gage at the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
same time meaning that he thought that

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
he was playing two straight guys at once.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
On May 13th, Nikita Dragon jumps back into

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Dramageddon and tweets out strange shots

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
between her and James Charles. She's

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
trying to back him up, trying to be like

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
"See, it really did happen guys",

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
like he was getting bombarded at Coachella

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
but this really only made things worse,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
because after Tati's video, everyone

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
really believed that James had reached

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
out to Sugarbear Hair in a pre-planned

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
effort, not to mention that she didn't

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
bring up the straight boy allegations so

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
people were really clowning on her for

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
this. She posted a YouTube video the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
following day titled "What really

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
happened" and this made plenty of fans

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
click on the video expecting her to

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
talk about James and Tati situation

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
because, of course, what else could this

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
be about and, mind you, I haven't actually

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
watched this video completely, scrubbed

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
from the internet. Cannot find it

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
anywhere. But apparently instead of

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
addressing anything relevant, she just

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
makes a general statement about mean

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
comments and then plugs her beauty brand

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
for the last, like five minutes. Which

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
goes to show how much people

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
were capitalizing off this beef. I mean

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Nikita Dragon was literally just there at

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Coachella with James. She could have said

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
something about the subject but

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
she was like I'm gonna get into this with

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
my Dragon Beauty brand. This same night,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Jeffree Star goes out on Snapchat and

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
starts talking about how he has crazy

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
receipts on James and he's going to be

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
exposing him very soon and I have to say

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
this is probably my least favorite thing

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that Jeffrey does all the time is that I

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
feel like actually does have crazy

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
blackmail against people but he only ever

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
uses it for self-interest, Like he's like

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
he has something insane like crazy

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
proof that James Charles has done

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
something beyond the pale that we don't

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
even know about yet. The only way

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
he would leak it is if it was in his

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
own benefit,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
On May 17th, Tati Westbrook post another

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
video addressing this whole situation

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
called "Why I did it" and for some reason

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
this video hasn't been archived.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I was only able to watch someone else's

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
reaction of it but basically gist that I

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
got was this was just her doubling down on

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
what she has said previously, only now she

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
wishes people wouldn't pick sides on what

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
between her and James.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But little did everyone know that that

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the next day on May 18th, James would

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
upload "No More Lies", which is probably

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the internet's biggest uno reverse.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Which nobody claims in bisister and so

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
many debunkinings and not debunkinings

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
happening in "No More Lies".

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We are just going to take it category by

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
category again. No More claims state

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
of claim. Firstly, she said the ad was

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
preorchestrated. It was that Jamas talked

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to the Sugarbear hair team on the grounds

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
at Coachella, Two, James didn't give her

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
any warning before he put up the ad.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
He only says something after which was not

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the case. He had screenshots of the text

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
message where he warned her in advance

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and to which she replied "I'm so hurt"

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and he gave a lengthy apology.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Three, she said James said he wouldn't

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
talk about Halo Beauty on social media or

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
his channel because he didn't want to

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
promote supplements to young kids.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This is a really weird and strange lie.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Like he promoted Halo Beauty multiple

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
times and across his social media pages.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So, I am trying to understand Tati, I am

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
trying why to lie about maniscule things.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
*Inaudible

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Another one of Tati's claims was that

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
James had been using his power, influence

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and money in order to extort sexual

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
favors to people to manipulate them and J

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
James admits that he is a 19-year-old

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
virgin and that isn't the case because he

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
is not fuckin but I will say this. At

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
12:40 in this video he says

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
"We'll never use my fame, money, or

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
power to manipulate or get any sexual

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
actions from a guy",

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Which did not age well. When it comes to

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
this allegation in the James Charles

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
timeline, I have a little bit of a

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
question mark over it because I am not

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
sure how much damage he had done at age

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
19. But from what we know about Gage and

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Sam, the waiter, there were some strange

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
tendencies already at play.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Another claim Tati had was at her birthday

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
dinner she had tried to tell James the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
waiter was straight and to leave him alone

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
He replied saying it doesn't matter. I'm

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
so famous, right? Well , it turns out

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that was actually a lie as well, because

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
there are screenshots of James and all

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
of his friends including Tati making the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
same joke where they say "We're so famous"

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
like definitely it was not supposed to be

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
a serious thing. Again, really

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
interesting. I don't understand the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
choices to lie about something so petty,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
especially when you are overall message

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
was supposed to be about something as

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
serious as like sexual misconduct

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
allegations. And speaking of Sam, the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
waiter, James has screenshots of their

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
conversations as well. And in these

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
screenshots you can clearly see that

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Same had actually told him straight up

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that he was bisexual. So this is where it

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
gets kind of interesting cause Sam didn't

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
mentioned this in his side of the story.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
After they agreed to stop their

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
relationship, James had blocked him.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And after this, Sam had used his friend's

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
phone to DM James from his account and

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
blocked and why he actually figured out

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that he was full gay so that he could get

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
him on a FaceTime call and record him.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Instead of talking to James about his gay

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
revelation, he asked James if he was

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
talking to Gage at the same time that they

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
were talking. At this point, Sam told

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
James that he wasn't actually gay. He was

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
just trying to get him on this phone call

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and so James hung up. But then, after the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
call, Sam text him that he basically

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
confirmed bi, which it why in Sam's video

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
you saw the screenshot of James saying

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that you are not straight, You are not

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
ever going to be straight. The sooner you

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
figure that out the better, etc. Now

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
outside of Tati's allegations, Jeffree

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Star had personally been texted James

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that he had a bunch a dirt on him and

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that he was gonna expose him for various

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
things sooner or later, And so, at this

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
point in "No More Lies", we start to

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
address that. And so Jeffree's claims are

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
as follows: Number one: that James has

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
been talking shit about him. Number two:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that James had to try to Jeffree's

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
brother in law to like him and sent him

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
unsolicited, inappropriate pictures. And

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
thirdly, James trapped Sam the the waiter

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
in his hotel and that they were all gonna

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
get together and film a video about how

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that happened and expose. Lastly, and

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
this is the craziest one that he had tried

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to touch and molest Grayson Dolan in his

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
sleep and made him uncomfortable for

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
months. James' rebuttal to these claims

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
were that he had only talked to Jeffree's

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
brother-in-law a handful of times and

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
it was nothing inappropriate. And next,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the trapping Sam in the hotel room thing

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
we know is not true because Sam. himself,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
said so. And then finally, the rebuttal

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
for the most serious and crazy allegation

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
is that this is simply not true and that

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the rejection jokes that was in the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
sister's squad videos were pretty much

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
all staged. James also claims that the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Dolan twins were among the first to call

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
him and make sure he was alright and

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
during the initial bisister of the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
dramageddon of it all. There weren't any

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
receipts for that. We don't really know

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
what happened between them and neither

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
of the Dolan twins ever refollowed James,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
so there is that as well. We'll talk a

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
little bit more about the Dolans later

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
on. But all in all, "No More Lies"

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
changed the YouTube landscape for weeks

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and flipped the entire situation on it's

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
head. Like, never in my life have I seen

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
people switch up this fast before. And

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
despite every body being this initially

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
being on Tati's side in all of this,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
right after this video dropped, his

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
subscriber account rise again and

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
meanwhile, Tati's began to fall. Speaking

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
of Tati, her immediate reponse to "No More

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Lies" was to get on Twitter and say

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
things like this:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I have left town on a digital break to

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
heal and pray for healing on all sides. My

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
family made me aware on what was just

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
posted and I am disappointed ro see

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
it littered with so many lies and half

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
truths. I stand by my videos. Do not twist

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
my words to what they are not, hear the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
message.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Dudes, can I be totally honest with you

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
guys right now? The way Tati speaks

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
like she's the Buddhist monk pisses me

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
off! She also posted a couple of

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
other Tweets but they basicaaly said the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
same exact thing like, "Praying on all

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
sides", "Peace and love" da ba duh

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Then she goes on to like a novel length

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
post and the TLDR that I give you says:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
"I spent all the last few years building

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
up a career on honesty, integrity and

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
truth. But let me tell you guys that

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Tati is a makeup reviewer. She basically

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
says things like "I hope that our

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
community is somehow strengthened from

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
all this madness and that we will all

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
strive to hold ourselves and each other

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to a higher standard".

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Girl, what?!? Jeffree Star also

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
immediately got on Twitter and said:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
"Everyone keeps asking me for receipts...

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I have so much to say and some really sad

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and disgusting things to show you guys.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
James Charles tried to mass manipulate

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
all of you today. When I show you

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the proof and why I tweeted

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the tweet about him, you'll understand"

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and get this. Get this! Tati deletes Bye

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Sister after just typing up novels about

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
how she said she said what she said and

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
she stands by it, And she is praying for

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
everyone on all sides. I hope the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
community gets stronger out of this.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Like she can't claim that this was for the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
betterment of society in and then

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
take it down. She then took like a week

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and a half off of YouTube and returned

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
video called "I'm Back" and it's literally

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
just a makeup tutorial, She just pretends

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
like none of that even happened. And as

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
you can see here, the audience was just

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
really confused by this, The top comment

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
literally "Tati, I stand by everything I

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
said". Also,, Tati deletes video a day

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
after the Tati video. Sam, the waiter,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
returns to the internet with a new

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
video titled "I'm sorry James Charles".

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
In it, he says that his friends and his

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
family pressured him to continue talking

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to James and even typed out some of the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
messages to James pretending to be Sam.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
He also says that they hold him to be

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
just pretend to be gay and to date James

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to get all the opportunities that would

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
come with that.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
*inaudible

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
James returned to YouTube in a very

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
pleasant audience and a very different

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
internet compared to a just a few short

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
weeks a go. By all standards, Tati's video

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
should have been that final nail

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
in the coffin and impossible to come

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
back from, but there he was an amazing

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
comeback story at the time.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
In November of 2019, Tati was still

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
trying to fully ignore what happened and

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
move on despite on not saying anything

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and then she wants to make a brand

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
called Tati Beaity and spoiler alert, both

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Tati Beauty and Halo Beauty would not

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
survive the upcoming pandemic.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And despite everything that Jeffree had

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
said about James being a disgusting

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
monster and how he had all these receipts.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
He was ready to expose him. By March of

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
2020, he had done a full 180 and even

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
left us a supported comment on one of

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
James' post. I mean this is Jeffree Star

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
we are talking about so it isn't that

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
surprising. Jeffree Star, very lore heavy,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
evil man. Even then, Jeffree then posted

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
a video title "Never Doing This Again"

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and I know just from that title you are

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
thinking, "What, what is he never going

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to do again?" In this video he basically

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
says, "Just because I said that I hate

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
James Charles and I want him to die

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
he's disgusting, doesn't mean I hate

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
James Charles."

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Because I said those things, that does

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that not mean that I hate James Charles.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But my personal favorite part of this

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
video is when he says there's no hate in

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
this heart..

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
There is no actual hate in this heart.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
He also says that he's not going to give

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the people what they want.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
He's not going to come out with receipts

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and cancel anyone today.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
They want me to open up my phone and

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
expect me to expose it all.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
He basically says that he was being

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
manipulated about James and being fed

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
things that wasn't necessarily true.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
There are people telling me a lot of stuff

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The video ends by him saying that he's

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
done with the tea and he's done with the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
drama. He would then precede to have to

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and the Tati and drama for the next like

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
four years. And something important to

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
note is that during this time, both

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Jeffree and Shane Dodsan were pretty much

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
PR nightmares and there was both trying

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to like quickly clean up and do a little

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
damage control and fans found resurfaced

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
images and videos of them doing various

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
problematic things. And, imagine that as

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Jeffree Star's fans are demanding him to

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
take accountability for some old

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
problematic stuff. He decides it's time

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to rewrite history a little bit when

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
it comes to his loyalty to James Charles.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Meanwhile, Shane Dolsan was having a

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
much harder time dealing with facing

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
his actions, because the thing about Shane

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Dolsan is that he crumbles. He crumbles

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
under pressure. Meanwhile, Jeffree

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Star, like I don't want to harm

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
psychology him, but he like might actually

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
be a psychopath. He is able to lie himself

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
out of any situation. Just like that.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Easy, simple. But this guy having to face

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the ramifications of let's see. Let's

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
check our notes. Umm..

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Black face. Racist characters.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Said the n-word. Said very various

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
other slurs. Various instances of

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
sexualizing minors and etc. There

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
was so much backlash with this that

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
YouTube temporarily demonatized Shane's

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
channel, which is really funny because it

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
all comes back to him not being able to

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
handle the heat. Like Jeffree Star's

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
channel, fine. What did Jeffree Star do?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
A lot. Pretty similar things actually, but

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
he could take the heat and so imagine

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
you are on your tenth Youtube apology

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
pretty much and you have a bunch of

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
dirty little bug bites al over your neck

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
ok and you have scabies and you're

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
salivating *hag

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I am so sorry that I sexualized Will

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Smith. Nobody gives a f***!

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Shane Dolsan f******cry.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Shane Dolson, that is your mindset ok.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
You are going just a little bit loopy

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
already and then June 30th, Tati drops

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
a video called "Breaking My Silence".

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And in this video, Tati says that she

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
was coerced into making bisister by

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Shane Dolsan and Jeffree Star.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I made it as a result of all of the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
poisonous lies that were fed to me by

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Shane Dawson and Jeffree Star.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Fuck! This is so Netflix short little

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
special coded, limited series. There you

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
go! That's the fucking word. So Tati says

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that she's apologized to James Charles

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and that they met up together in private

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and compared screenshots that they have

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
from both Jeffree and Shane

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and come to the conclusion that this

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
whole thing was a mass

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
manipulation from both of them.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And according to Tati, she learned

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that being friends with Jeffree Star

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
is like being friends with a lion.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I learned that being friends with Jeffree

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Star like being friends with a lion. He

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
may have been dangerous but he was always

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
really kind to me.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Mind you, anybody at any age can be

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
manipulated. This is a very true.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
However, in my opinion, there is no way

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that she's not at least partially

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
responsible for some of this. And I can't

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
stress this enough okay. Don't freak out.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Don't freak out. Every character in this

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
story sucks. We have our main character,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
predator backing in oven. We got racist

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
guy #1. We have a racist guy # 2 and at

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
least, petty vitamin woman. So on this v

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
video Tati makes a series of new claims,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
okay. So, first off, she says that when

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
she met Jeffree Star, she knew he had a

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
controversial past but that she took it

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
among herself to try to make him a better

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
person and that get him involved with her

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
favorite charity, which did not work. She

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
also claims to have known nothing about

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Shane Dawson's past and that she

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
did no research on him like all she knew

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that he was the "most adored documentarian

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
on YouTube".

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I wish I had educated myself and I was

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
aware of his earlier content.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
In my opinion, this truly doesn't add up

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
because we are talking about Shane *gasp

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Dawson. But anyways, she goes on to say

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that Shane told her that he was making

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
a documentary about the beauty community.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and that it is rapidly developing and

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
rapidly changing due to new information

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that Jeffree Star had collected on

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
James Charles. She said it was Shane's

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
idea to make bisister and even went as

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
far as to offer to edit it for her.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And when Tati hesitated, he sent her

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
a voice memo about an alleged victim of

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
James.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It wasn't enough for me to contact the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
authorities. It was enough to scare me.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Jeffree and Shane claimed that as soon as

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
she posted bisister, a plethora of

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
victims were going to come forward.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But then they never did. Tati goes on

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to theorize that Shane and Jeffree

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
actually orchestrated this whole thing

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
as a plot to destroy James because they

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
were jealous of his career trajectory and

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
they wanted as much attention as possible

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
when they released their collaborative

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
palette the "Conspiracy palette". She then

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
gets super tin-foiled-atty at the end and

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
says that she believes that there were

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
many more players involved to

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
orchestrate this whole thing, and that it

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
is not a coincidence that after the whole

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
fallout, Morphe came out with gummy

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
vitamins.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I do not think it is a coincidence that

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Morphe is about to launch their own

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
brand of hair and nail gummy vitamins.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I have beef with every single one of

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
these people. Like we can grab. I don't

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
give a shit. But Tati, even though she is

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
not the biggest villain here by far,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
really irks me because I feel like she

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
acted completely out of selfishness.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I agree that it is plausible to have

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
been manipulated by Shane ad Jeffree,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
like especially Jeffree. But if Tati

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
truly, truly believed that the allegations

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that Shane and Jeffree were telling her

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
were real and that serious, why did she

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
make the majority of bisister about gummy

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
vitamins? Why did she falsely accuse him

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
of sexually harassing waiter amongst other

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
things. Conclusively, the entire video

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
was based on somebody else's lies, but

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
she double downed on it multiple times

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
over the course of several months and

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
holds virtually no accountability for

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
causing the cultural switch against James,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
who at this point, she is saying is

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
completely innocent. And like above all

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
else, I think the biggest issue is the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
fact that she says that there's a voice

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
memo that is damning enough

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that warranted her going through

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
with that public flogging, yet now

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
she is saying wait! That wasn't real.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And the question you might be asking

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
right now is what the fuck is in the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
voice memo? Well, it's currently 2024 and

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
we still don't have the answer to that.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But there's been a ton of speculation

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
as to who it is. A lot of people theorize

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that it's Grace and Dolan since Jeffree

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
made that claim about James molesting

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
him in his sleep. People also think this

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
because by the cultural shift back to

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
liking James, the Dolan twins still

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
haven't followed him back or even

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
publicly spoke to him but I'm not saying

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that I believe this. This is just a

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
theory. I hope that's not true. With

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Jeffree Star though, it is really hard to

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
tell what is actually true and

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
what's total bunk, because he seems to

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
always merge partial truths with lies.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And so it's like okay, part of this

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
could be true but that might not make the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
entire story have validity. But in the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
aftermath of the breaking my silence

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
video, Shane Dawson gets on a Intagram

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
live stream and starts like tweaking.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This is insane! This is insane! This

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
woman is like a fucking, omg!

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This entire live stream consists of him

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
calling Tati a liar and running around

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
his house like he just drank iced coffee

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and he has to take a shit.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I can't, I can't. I don't want to say mean

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
things about people. This is insane.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This is insane.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It's actually hilarious because I love

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
shaming Shane Dawson while he's down

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and I would again. For legal purposes this

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
is a joke, but I wish that we could

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
collectively blast Shane Dawson into the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
sun. James Just responds to all this

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
public freaking out that's just a tweet

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that says "love you guys!"

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
All this same day, Trisha

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
also uploaded a video called "Tati's dumb

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
as hell" which I only mentioning because

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
it is so off the cuff and untethered.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And to summarize it in one clip:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
"I was beyond gaslit, no we are just

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
stupid".

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
In the following days, Morphe cut ties

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
with Jeffree Star.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Morphe said they made the decision

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to cease all commercial activity related

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to Jeffree Star and related products

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
within the coming in the coming weeks.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And in the April 20th, he would go on

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
mom's basement podcast and reaffirm

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to keep Team Star that James Charles

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
is a monster and that he still has the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
voice memo of the alleged victim but

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
doesn't want to publicly out them.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Yet 2 months later, on July 18th, 2020,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
he would release a video called "Doing

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
what's right" and in this video Jeffree

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
says a whole lot of f***** up.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
He's like "Hey guys, I am not going

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
cancel anyone today. Sorry, I am not

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
coming in with steaming hot tea today

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
ya'll."

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Today I will not be sitting her showing

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
a million texts messages and all these

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
things that allegedly are out there.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
He goes on to say that he's done with

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
all the drama and that's there bigger

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
things in the world to worry about and

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I honestly forgot that this apology

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
happened in 2020. So I was sent into a

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
whole whiplash when I heard him

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
say that we need to focus on Black Lives

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Matter. Okay, back up. We are backing up.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Jeffree, first of all, you've made a lot

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
of claims buddy, and now you are coming

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
on your being like sorry, I am not

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
involved in any of this drama, "Drama",

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
when it is something supposedly serious.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And then you are deflecting the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
conversation on to Black Lives Matter?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
What? What? He literally uses murdered

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
people of color to take the attention off

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
of him, making claims that James is

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
a predator.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Black trans men are being murdered

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
every day and the news is silent.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Like, there are no words to describe this

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
chat. Are they words to describe this?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Are there words for something so

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
despicable? James is kind of like a

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
predator and a danger to society. But

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that's like drama though. It's kind of

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
like "Hi, everybody. Welcome back to my

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
channel". The Freudian Slip. Meanwhile,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
right after this whole Jeffree podcast

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
debacle, James Charles goes on impulsive

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
which is even Jake Paul's or Logan Paul's

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Podcast. I don't know because I use their

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
names interchangeably and I don't know

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
who's who but this podcast seems chill

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and it seems inconsequential at first.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But then James starts dropping bombs

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
left and right, like let me show you some

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
bullet points of what this man publicly

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
admits. A little over an hour into

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the interview, James claims that he is

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
far more mature than other people his age.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
By the way, he's currently 21 in this

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
interview. Then he then goes on to say

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that he's just not attracted to older

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
men and the absolute lowest that he would

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
date was either 18 or 19 but looks a

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
little bit older and he says the absolute

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
lowest that he would date

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The absolute youngest, like 18, 19, that

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
looks a little bit older.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This is already more than a little

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
questionable, like what is the point of

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
dating somebody who is 18 or 19 but

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
looks a little bit older. What is the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
point of them being 18 and you just

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
said that you are more mature than

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
everyone else your age. So, why do you

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
want to date somebody more immature.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But as if that wasn't bad enough, a few

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
minutes later he goes on to say something

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
even weirder. He says that he tried to

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
fly boys out to LA because a lot

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
of them don't have any money or they

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
are still in high school or I mean a

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
senior in high school.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Because you can't afford a plane ticket,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
you are probably still in either in high

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
school or still in college, a senior in

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
high school or in college.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Oh, so you really said that. Hmmm, and

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
who makes mistakes like that.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
There's Madeline here who. Who makes

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that kind of mistake and it's a probably

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
a minor. Admitting to outsourcing

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
teenagers from other states at the age

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
of 21 is crazy. And they didn't even have

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to waterboard that out of him.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
By the way, might I mention that nobody

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
had a negative response to this? Like

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the boys on this podcast are just like

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Oh, yeah! Totally! Maybe they just felt

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
awkward or wanted to keep the peace. Like

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
didn't know what to say. But damn, if that

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
was me, I would have a visceral,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
uncontrollable reaction like what? And

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
not to be to be grossed ok. But like

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
these bold boys that he's outsourcing are

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
are literally the same age as his little

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
brother. Like does he see his brother

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
as in an equal when it comes to maturity

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and growth. Oh yeah, and last question.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Have you seen every person on Earth

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that is your same age or a little bit

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
older than you. Have you? How have you

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
already determined that you're not

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
attracted to people older than you.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
There's people that older than all of

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
us that just look youthful. So what is it

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
really about, James? The last thing I

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
want to say about this interview, because

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I can honestly talk about it forever, is

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that he also claims that he wouldn't date

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
a fan in it.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
You wouldn't date a fan?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
No.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Just remember that ok?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
On September 1, 2020, James would do a

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
collab with Emma Chamberlain, and this was

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the first time that these two would

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
reunite since before dramageddon. In an

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
interview with the paparazzi, Emma also

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
said that her and James weren't in a

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
really good place. But when asked about

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the Dolan twins, she basically says

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
"Don't hold your breath".

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
With the Dolan twins that if

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
everybody can get on the same page?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
No promises.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
On September 16, 2020, James would have a

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
mini controversy over some allegedly

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
stolen designs. Now as you can see here,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
this is a color block, Sister's merch

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
hoodie, okay. And now let's compare it

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to a hoodie that was originally designed

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
by Teddy Fresh, a.k.a. H Threes brand.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Well obviously, James' says Sister on the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
front and this one just has like a red

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
square that says the fresh.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The sweater is the exact color grading.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Like it's the exact same shades and the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
exact same spots. And when James was

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
confronted about this, he said he had

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
never heard of their brand before. Despite

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the fact that people were quick to point

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
out that one of James' best friends, Lorai

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
had pictures in that exact Teddy Fresh

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
hoodie on his Instagram and was even

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
featured on the Teddy Fresh Instagram

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
page. And like, obviously, no one owns

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
colors. But the fact that they were the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
exact same shades and the same areas.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It's just a suspicious set of lace.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Also, just generally speaking, James'

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
hoodie is just really ugly.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
In October, James got his very own

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
YouTube original show called Instant

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Influencer and it was a competition where

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
amateur influencers competed for

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
a $10,000 video setup, a collab with

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
James Charles, and $50,000 cash.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And the sheriff evolved around doing

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
different challenges. One very noteworthy

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
one is in episode where they do an

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
apology video challenge.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I just really want to apologize and I

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
want to change. *Sob Sob

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Just, just terribly ironic and if I

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
can be completely honest with you guys

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
right now. If I had just one teeny James

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Charles wish on a star. It would be that

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Instant Influencer could come back but

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
obviously with a different host, because

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
this show is actually good. Like

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
literally, YouTube, can we get somebody

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
else, literally anybody else to host the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
show. I've throw a shower. Let's go!

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Of course, I already spoiled this for you

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
but the show does not exist anymore.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And I'm sure you already guessed why.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
In February of 2021, a minor came forward

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and alleged that James asked him for

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
totally explicit photos and videos over

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Snapchat. The minor questioned, posted a

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Tik Tok where he explained that he had

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
previously dmed James because he was a

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
fan.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Prove it to you right now. This is the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
notification that I got when he snapchated

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
me first and this is further proof that

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
he deleted the chat in a way to deleted.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
That's totally in his Snapchat.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And so he began sending snaps back and

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
forth and one day, James saw that he was

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
in the bathroom, so he began making the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
conversation very sexual.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So, he started making the conversation

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
very and sexual and really got

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
uncomfortable.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Saying disgusting things like "Take a

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
video of yourself in the shower" and "Can

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I see your muscles and hair". He then

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
began sending nudes of himself, which

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I cannot show you, but I tell you why

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
this. It is very clearly James Charles'

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
musty BBL booty. Once he sent these nudes,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the victim told him that he was only 16,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to which James allegedly replied, "Oh,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
but I haven't seen your dick yet". Then

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
after saying he didn't want to send nudes

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
James kept hounding him for them anyways.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Like, for example, in this screenshot here

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
he says, "It would literally take you 30

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
seconds to take a pic like this, awww".

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
James would later claim that the boy

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
told him that he was 18. In a Notes app

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
response on Twitter. And until the art in

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
lame Twitter notes app thing is that James

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
said that the boy messaged him excitedly,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
telling him he loved him. And so, he began

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
talking to him without asking for ID.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And I find this really interesting

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
because he just said on the impulsive

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Podcast that he did not want to date a

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
fan, but in conclusion he says, "I will

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
know be asking everybody for IDs. The

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
fact that he's like, I'm still going to

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
DM questionably young people but I am

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
still going to be asking for IDs now is

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
crazy. Also, even if they are 18, like I

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
said, seeking out a barely legal

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
18-year-old is creepy. Jeebs!

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
How does it make it ok? This is still

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
your teenage 18. That's a teenager fan.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Also in February, yet another underage

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
fan came forward. This time it was a

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
14-year-old and he also said that James

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
sent him unsolicited nudes and

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
inappropriate videos of himself. This boy

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
alleges that he reached out to James

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Charles on a dare, not expecting James

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to answer of course, but when he did,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
he got very excited. Of course, this is

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
a famous person so, he wants to talk to

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
him. James then added him on Snapchat.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Are you seeing a pattern?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Are you seeing this? He claims that James

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
kept pressuring him to come out to LA

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and that he was also trying to get him

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to question his sexuality. And remember

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that Impulsive Interview?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Even they confess that they can't afford

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
a plane ticket. It's like ok but I can.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So, get on the plane.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Wow, this alleged victim literally thought

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that he was speaking about him in that

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
segment. Also, big shout out to Paige

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Christie. I was literally only able to

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
find this information from her video. Like

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
so much of this has been just like

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
scrubbed from the internet, like Big

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Sister is like watching. Trisha Paytas

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
replied to this whole situation saying

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
like: "I'll say without a shadow of a

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
doubt. James Charles in the only creator

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that deserves to be banned and stripped

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
from all social platform. He's abusing by

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
sexting with minors!!! Repeated behavior

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
happening as recent as a few days ago.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This is an actual predator/pedophile.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I have to say I'm completely agree

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and I don't know if he's the only one,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But I do completely agree that he should

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
not be on Tik Tok or YouTube or Instagram.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Like, and it just gets worse. On April 1,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
James would upload "Holding myself

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
accountable in response to all of these

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
allegations". Yes, it's true he posted a

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
response to grooming allegations on April

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1st. Now this video makes me mad from

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
beginning to end. He basically says he

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
trusted the information that was given

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to him rather than the info that he

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
could've or should've gotten himself.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And yeah, that's true, but I feel like

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
he's immediately deflecting from the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
fact that even what you thought you were

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
doing is wrong. James then goes on to

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
list being desperate for the reason for

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
why he makes all these dating faux paus.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And it is ridiculously embarrassing to

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
admit this but I'm desperate.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And then he starts bracingly lying like

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
outright like a dog, lying. He says that I

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
will partially quote so that I don't have

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to play like a long clip and get

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
copyrighted or something. It's really

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
looking like I'm an actively searching for

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
younger people to be in a relationship

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
with and that's absolutely not the case.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
My hope is that it always been in

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
a relationship with somebody around my

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
age or older.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Hey, wait a minute! Isn't this the exact

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
opposite thing of what you said earlier

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
this year.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I'm not physically attracted to older

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
guys which sucks.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
He concludes the video with a detailed

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
description of how he came to the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
realization that him talking to fans

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
created a power imbalance and that from

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the get go he should of never had these

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
conversations to begin with because he

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
ignored red flags. Wave the red flags is

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
IOU. I have to saw is while this apology

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
video is definitely not is well received

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and we will talk about it in a second.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
He is pretty clever. I will say that.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
His use of language really disassociates

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
himself with the facts of everything. He

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
says, for example.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And for that, for the example, so, so

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
sorry.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Okay, these are kids and these are not

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
just victims, they're your victims.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Ironically, holding myself accountable

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
would later be deleted. Later that month,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Morphee would release a statement saying

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that they are permanently cutting ties

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
with James. But in the eyes of a lot of

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
fans, this was too little too late.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
In light of the recent allegations against

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
James Charles, Morphee and James

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
have agreed to leave and our business

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
relationship and wine down sales of the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Morphe x James Charles product offering.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It is and has always been Morphe's goal

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to create a positive, safe and

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
empowering space for all beauty lovers can

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
freely share their artistry and passion

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
for cosmetics. And Morphe is fully

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
committed in furthering that goal. I don't

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
know too much about PR but fuck all

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
if that wasn't really bad. First of all,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
waited weeks to say anything and

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
when they finally did, they were

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
like we and James have decided to scale

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
back. Like, what do you mean we? Fans

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
were also quick to point out that all the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
James Charles products were still being

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
sold at full price on their website. This

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
same week, YouTube announced that they

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
would be temporarily demonetizing James'

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
channel and as a result of all this, James

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
took a four month break off of social

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
media. When he returned he posted a

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
selfie on Instagram and announced that he

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
just posted a video called "An Open

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Conversation" and I will say that this is

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
incredible on brand the worst way. Now the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
comments on "An Open Conversation" are

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
so funny and this is this is the first

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
time that I have truly felt and notice

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that there were so many people just done

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
with him. Like this video only has six

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
million views and I know that that's a

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
lot still, but in comparison to other

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
videos, even such as taking accountability

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
there was a huge dip in viewership. And

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
these people made the right call for

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
obvious reasons, and were also

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
fortunate enough to not bear witness to

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
this video turning into a makeup get ready

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
with me at the 4 minute mark.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
An you guys know I posted my

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
"Holding Myself Accountable" video.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Absolutely dystopian fear. Getting sued!

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
In the following month of May, a former

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
employee of James, named Kelly Rocklein

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
sued James for wrongful termination.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And, let me just read you one of these

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
headlines so you can get the full gravity

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
of this situation.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
James Charles' ex-employee speaks out

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
about lawsuit, claiming he didn't pay

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
overtime and asked her to shave his

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
butt. Ummmmm.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
To get into the nitty gritty, the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
specifics of the suit though, she

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
alleges that one, James had her working

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
12-hour days, seven days a week. Two,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that when she was promoted from video

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
editor to producer, he didn't hire

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
anybody to take over the former

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
position, so she was left doing both.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Three, she was not paid overtime for

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
any of this, and four, that she had

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
suffered a head injury in front of James

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Charles. To quote this business insider

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
article directly, the head injury resulted

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
in her experiencing headaches,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
temporarily loss of consciousness,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
confusion, amnesia and other ailments,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
according to the complaint. She alleges

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Charles was not sympathetic to her

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
recovery needs and callously accused her

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
of not being dedicated to her job as a

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
result of her work being delayed when

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
she was hospitalized. And right after

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Kelly returned from being hospitalized,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
she was fired, despite never having

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
received negative feedback. Kelly also

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
alleges that James used the n-word in

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
front of her with the R &amp; R and everything

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
More on the ass situation, Kelly says

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that James walked around the house naked

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and call her names like "bitch" and once

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
texted her, "Kelly, I need help shaving

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
my butt in preparation for a revealing

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Coachella outfit. James ha since publicly

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
denied all of this in a lengthy Twitter

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
video.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Just the craziest claims you can ever

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
imagine.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But the suit is still ongoing.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Although, I will say I can totally see him

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
doing all these things. Kelly, get behind

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
me. 2022 was a relatively quiet year for

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
this MF. Like, his only controversy was

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
talking on Instagram and twerking while

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
talked which resulted in him losing

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
130,000 followers in a day and I won't

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
show you that video here because you don't

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
deserve that. Everybody say "Thank you

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Nikki!" And by the way, if you didn't

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
unfollow him for the groping but you did

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
for the talking and the twerking, I don't

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
know. It might be time for me to take

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
you out behind the barn and shoot you.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Since May 6, 2023, Morphe would end up

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
closing all of it's stores and this was a

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
crazy thing to happen for anybody who was

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
really into makeup in 2019 and 2020.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Like, it was a very popular store to the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
point where it was valued at $2 billion at

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
it's peak, but the company had made the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
unfortunate decision of fully investing

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
into James Charles and Jeffree Starr to

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
be the focal point of their stores,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
especially James, like seriously I did not

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
know what the hell Morphe was before his

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
palette. The brand name had kind of become

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
synonymous with James, like he was their

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
most successful product. In other words,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
James Charles is virtually the reason why

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Morphe died. Like, that is very crazy to

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
think about. Bro brought down an entire

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
industry. On July 13, 2023, Cosmopolitan

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
published an article about James titled

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
"James Charles would like to be

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
uncancelled, please". This article, quite

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
frankly, is a blasphemous peace of trash.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Honestly, the woman who wrote it,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Gabrielle Bluestone should have to serve

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
public service for 6 months, just for

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
writing this shit, because it is so foul

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
you need to picking things up on the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
highway. Get out of here. Let me just

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
read you a direct quote from here.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It's no surprise that a star's willingness

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to answer any intimate questions about a

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
catastrophic stretch of their lives,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
including pieces dramatically when they

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
have a project to promote. In today's

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
case, that is ostensibly Charles' new

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
makeup line "Painted". But it's also

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Charles himself. This very interview is to

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
be a triplum. It's reception, the answer

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to the question both of us and maybe

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
you, too. If what auto-populates in

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Google search can be believed, are here to

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
ask, "Is James Charles still cancelled?"

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So, that alone, basically self-diagnoses

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
itself that it purely exists for James to

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
win over public brownie points, so that

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
his new makeup line can do better.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Bluestone also writes, "When I pulled

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
friends and colleagues about Charles in

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the run-up to this state, the general

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
consensus was that he had done

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
something bad, but no one was clear on

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
exactly what. This to me feels like her

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
claiming that these random civilians in

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
her office not knowing what James Charles

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
did is evidence that he hasn't done

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
anything that serious or at least less

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
serious than people are making it out to

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
be. Would is a real logical hootenanny,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I tell you that. The article then goes on

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to say the wildest like, like...

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
My cat's looking at me. He's more cautious

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
now, although not so much that he's giving

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
up on the DM sliding completely. Instead,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
he started requiring potential romantic

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
interests to provide ids before he'll

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
engage. I'm a club bouncer at this point,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
he says, which even still hasn't stopped

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the occasional breach of trust.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Earlier this year, a TikTok user shared

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
snippets of a flirtatious conversation he

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
had with Charles and which outlines his

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
requirements for a boyfriend. Charles

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
also tells me he recently caught a

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
17-year-old trying to lie about his age by

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
taking out a digit on his ID. And when she

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
asked James why, he wouldn't just use a

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
regular dating app to find a partner, he

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
basically says that he feels to exposed

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
on apps and that anybody can take a screen

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
shot of his profile and brag and tell

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
their friends about it. Ummm and ahhh,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
but ummm, I don't know how to say this

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
nicely so, Are you stupid? How is talking

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to people on social media any less risky

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
than using a dating app. The article just

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
got done saying that somebody leaked a

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
private DM on to the internet that was

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
from Instagram. It wasn't from a dating

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
app. It's also from a dating app you can

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
instantly verify like somebody's age. You

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
can investigate whether or not there are

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
catfish. You can investigate their social

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
media, if they have a link to the profile.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And so, at this point, I really have no

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
choice to assume that this isn't just

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
stupidity. It's malicious. Because you

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
know who's not on dating apps? Minors!

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
In September of 2023, James was seen

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
asking for a 17-year-old's age on a

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
TikTok live stream. And I mean, do I even

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
have to say anything? This is a direct

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
result of the same repeated behavior over

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and over again. I found this clip from

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Frenemies of all places that kind of

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
perfectly summarizes how I feel about

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
this.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Because you know what? These people

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
who are sick like this? They keep doing

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
it, but sick people can't help themselves

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
but do it again.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
A normal person would have stopped. A

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
predator cannot help themselves.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
In January of 2024, another boy would

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
come forward with claims that James had

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
talked to him inappropriately while he was

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
a minor, and this boy actually has a

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
screen shot of James sliding in his DMs

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and saying "Age Check!".

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
He dmmed me that and I responded and I

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
said, " I am a very mature 16."

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And, something that made me very sad

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
about this TikTok, where he talks about

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
all the inappropriate conversations that

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
they had was that had he says "I know

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I shouldn't have been talking to him like

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that. I know I had no business ta
