1
00:00:01,790 --> 00:00:05,111
James Charles, a name so chilling

2
00:00:05,111 --> 00:00:07,259
that it requires a trigger warning.

3
00:00:07,259 --> 00:00:09,011
Trigger warning: James Charles.

4
00:00:09,011 --> 00:00:11,247
You can say a lot of things about
James Charles.

5
00:00:11,247 --> 00:00:12,411
Most of them are bad.

6
00:00:12,411 --> 00:00:13,943
Like, really bad.

7
00:00:13,943 --> 00:00:17,097
But objectively, he is one of the most
well-known

8
00:00:17,097 --> 00:00:19,742
influencers from the last 10 years.

9
00:00:19,742 --> 00:00:21,912
And because of how much exposure

10
00:00:21,912 --> 00:00:25,763
and business success he saw
over the years,

11
00:00:25,763 --> 00:00:30,643
James Charles is truly somebody who
could have had it all

12
00:00:30,643 --> 00:00:34,169
if only he wasn't a piece of shit.

13
00:00:34,169 --> 00:00:38,048
If you're watching this video, odds are
you've heard of James,

14
00:00:38,048 --> 00:00:40,948
or you've at least heard of his infamy.

15
00:00:40,948 --> 00:00:45,318
You may have had the petrifying
experience

16
00:00:45,318 --> 00:00:47,078
of seeing his BBL or hearing him say

17
00:00:47,078 --> 00:00:49,428
"Hi sisters!"

18
00:00:49,428 --> 00:00:52,560
This guy's digital footprint has 
some of the funniest

19
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,527
and grossest shit I have ever seen.

20
00:00:55,527 --> 00:01:00,145
Because as we'll get into, he is a massive
creepo, freako,

21
00:01:00,145 --> 00:01:00,974
womp womp.

22
00:01:00,974 --> 00:01:04,354
It is quite a tale.

23
00:01:04,354 --> 00:01:08,949
So allow me to take you on an Unhinged
James Charles Deepdive.

24
00:01:19,157 --> 00:01:22,737
James Charles (or James Charles
Dickinson)

25
00:01:22,737 --> 00:01:27,744
was born on May 3rd, 1999 in Bethlehem,
New York.

26
00:01:27,744 --> 00:01:31,639
And he is Emily Dickinson's third cousin
twice removed -

27
00:01:31,639 --> 00:01:34,400
ignore that, it was a lie, I just lied.

28
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,380
In 2010, at the age of 11, he started his

29
00:01:37,380 --> 00:01:40,457
very first YouTube channel called
JaysCoding.

30
00:01:40,457 --> 00:01:44,530
This channel mostly consisted of him
covering songs like

31
00:01:44,530 --> 00:01:46,124
"Pumped Up Kicks".

32
00:01:46,124 --> 00:01:49,931
♫ "You better run, better run
faster than my bullet." ♫

33
00:01:49,931 --> 00:01:52,031
"Before He Cheats" by Carrie Underwood.

34
00:01:52,031 --> 00:01:55,565
♫ "Carved my name
into his leather seats." ♫

35
00:01:55,565 --> 00:01:58,813
But most notably, this 
"It Will Rain" cover

36
00:01:58,813 --> 00:02:00,739
where he's wearing this wolf hat.

37
00:02:00,739 --> 00:02:03,482
♫ "- morphine at my door." ♫

38
00:02:03,482 --> 00:02:05,826
And although these childhood videos are
wholesome,

39
00:02:05,826 --> 00:02:08,873
this would be the start
of a very troubling

40
00:02:08,873 --> 00:02:11,247
pattern of him
singing unprompted.

41
00:02:12,807 --> 00:02:16,129
Although my personal favorite video
that I found on JaysCoding

42
00:02:16,129 --> 00:02:21,186
was this six-second upload of just
a image of an eye.

43
00:02:21,186 --> 00:02:24,361
Like, bro really uploaded an
image to YouTube,

44
00:02:24,361 --> 00:02:26,685
and that is so of the time.

45
00:02:26,685 --> 00:02:31,023
But in 2015, he would launch his second
and main channel

46
00:02:31,023 --> 00:02:33,997
that we know today as James Charles.

47
00:02:33,997 --> 00:02:37,456
And this is where he started uploading
makeup tutorials, such as

48
00:02:37,456 --> 00:02:43,180
serpent makeup tutorial and
Snapchat Galaxy makeup tutorial.

49
00:02:43,180 --> 00:02:48,040
And as you can see, none of these look
particularly good.

50
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,226
In fact, they're pretty bad,
but I assure you

51
00:02:51,226 --> 00:02:54,977
everyone's makeup looked
really bad in 2015,

52
00:02:54,977 --> 00:02:57,582
so that really means nothing I guess.

53
00:02:57,582 --> 00:03:02,248
But he was gaining a really decent
audience from posting these tutorials.

54
00:03:02,248 --> 00:03:06,773
But the inciting incident, the
catalyst that would launch

55
00:03:06,773 --> 00:03:11,778
James Charles' career, happened in
September of 2016.

56
00:03:11,778 --> 00:03:18,199
And this moment would have irreversible
repercussions on society and the Internet.

57
00:03:18,199 --> 00:03:20,621
James was 17 years old at this point,

58
00:03:20,621 --> 00:03:23,763
and he had just taken his senior photos,

59
00:03:23,763 --> 00:03:26,669
which came out fugly according to him.

60
00:03:26,669 --> 00:03:30,189
And so he hired the school
photographer to come back

61
00:03:30,189 --> 00:03:33,517
and let him retake the pictures
with his ring light.

62
00:03:33,517 --> 00:03:37,824
And as you can see here, his highlight is
definitely going off,

63
00:03:37,824 --> 00:03:41,412
his brows have a good
Roblox look to them.

64
00:03:41,412 --> 00:03:45,080
However, where I draw the line is
that man bun.

65
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:46,850
What the f**k?

66
00:03:46,850 --> 00:03:49,360
Anyways, his friend convinces
him to post these

67
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:55,272
new glamorous pictures online
and they go extremely viral.

68
00:03:55,272 --> 00:03:58,162
Like, this picture of James
was being shared

69
00:03:58,162 --> 00:04:02,038
so much that CoverGirl noticed it.

70
00:04:02,038 --> 00:04:06,319
And that is how he became the world's
first male CoverGirl.

71
00:04:06,319 --> 00:04:11,636
Now because this was 2016, it stirred
controversy amongst conservatives.

72
00:04:11,636 --> 00:04:13,625
And, you know, of course it did

73
00:04:13,625 --> 00:04:17,444
because it's CoverGirl, not "CoverDong".

74
00:04:17,444 --> 00:04:20,349
Seriously, though, I found this
old Twitter thread

75
00:04:20,349 --> 00:04:24,031
where people are just bitching about this
like there's no tomorrow.

76
00:04:24,031 --> 00:04:26,156
A great example is this one:

77
00:04:26,156 --> 00:04:36,954
<i>reads tweet.</i>

78
00:04:36,954 --> 00:04:39,412
There's also this one where
a woman compares

79
00:04:39,412 --> 00:04:44,255
James being on CoverGirl to a white
person doing blackface.

80
00:04:44,255 --> 00:04:46,818
Um... Nurse, she's out again!

81
00:04:46,818 --> 00:04:50,678
Anyways, outisde of these randos making
a stink out of it,

82
00:04:50,678 --> 00:04:53,297
this opened up a lot of opportunities

83
00:04:53,297 --> 00:04:54,303
for James.

84
00:04:54,303 --> 00:04:58,653
I mean, he went on Ellen, I guess that's 
not that impressive, though.

85
00:04:58,653 --> 00:05:02,713
As I mentioned in the Jojo Siwa video, you
could literally fart into a bucket

86
00:05:02,713 --> 00:05:05,750
and somehow make it on Ellen at this
point in time.

87
00:05:05,750 --> 00:05:08,827
And as his fame was escalating,

88
00:05:08,827 --> 00:05:11,594
he did his first-ever fan meet.

89
00:05:11,594 --> 00:05:14,724
Only 50 people showed up to this event,

90
00:05:14,724 --> 00:05:16,730
and one of the videos that was taken there

91
00:05:16,730 --> 00:05:19,343
was turned into a meme because at

92
00:05:19,343 --> 00:05:24,958
some point James just sat down on the
ground and started singing.

93
00:05:24,958 --> 00:05:33,437
♫ Bring me a little water now! 
Bring me little water, Sylvie!♫

94
00:05:33,437 --> 00:05:37,009
I don't know what my favorite part about
this meme is. It might be

95
00:05:37,009 --> 00:05:40,003
the Snapchat caption that says "f**k it up"

96
00:05:40,003 --> 00:05:43,797
which insinuates that he's doing a good
job singing right now.

97
00:05:43,797 --> 00:05:45,739
Or it could be the fact that he raises

98
00:05:45,739 --> 00:05:49,104
his finger up as if he's hitting those
high notes.

99
00:05:49,104 --> 00:05:51,405
This was, of course, the very first time

100
00:05:51,405 --> 00:05:53,244
that he was turned into a meme,

101
00:05:53,244 --> 00:05:56,244
but it's certainly would not be the last.

102
00:05:56,244 --> 00:06:01,342
This same year, James did a CoverGirl
promotion with Zendaya,

103
00:06:01,342 --> 00:06:05,673
and oh my God, this has gotta be

104
00:06:05,673 --> 00:06:10,386
one of the most unintentionally funny
videos I've ever seen.

105
00:06:10,386 --> 00:06:13,554
So this video that they're doing is a
challenge to see what makeup

106
00:06:13,554 --> 00:06:16,575
looks they could come up with in the
span of 5 minutes.

107
00:06:16,575 --> 00:06:20,662
And so they're both in a rush and trying 
to showcase these CoverGirl

108
00:06:20,662 --> 00:06:22,274
products along the way.

109
00:06:22,274 --> 00:06:27,935
And about 30 seconds in, James gets
befuddled and just starts

110
00:06:27,935 --> 00:06:30,452
copying Zendaya and then acts like

111
00:06:30,452 --> 00:06:33,158
everything he's doing was his idea.

112
00:06:33,158 --> 00:06:35,629
- "I used it on my inner corner."
- "Same."

113
00:06:35,629 --> 00:06:36,441
(Huh??)

114
00:06:36,441 --> 00:06:39,157
- "I used this as a base for the blue."
- "Yeah, same."

115
00:06:39,157 --> 00:06:42,528
And not only this, 
the end result is so bad,

116
00:06:42,528 --> 00:06:45,477
she absolutely ate him up, I can't 
believe this video exists.

117
00:06:45,477 --> 00:06:48,361
These two people should not exist in the
same universe.

118
00:06:48,361 --> 00:06:51,612
James would soon also start doing collabs

119
00:06:51,612 --> 00:06:56,471
with massive YouTubers like Tana Mongeau,
Joey Graceffa, and even

120
00:06:56,471 --> 00:06:58,783
non-YouTubers like Maddie Ziegler.

121
00:06:58,783 --> 00:07:01,356
However, he would soon find himself in his

122
00:07:01,356 --> 00:07:06,829
very first controversy, and that is the
"Ebola" tweet.

123
00:07:06,829 --> 00:07:09,913
On Febuary 16, 2017, James writes:

124
00:07:09,913 --> 00:07:20,516
<i>reads tweet.</i>

125
00:07:20,516 --> 00:07:23,277
So obviously this is very out of touch

126
00:07:23,277 --> 00:07:28,061
and just kind of assumes that Africa is 
like a diseased-riddled area,

127
00:07:28,061 --> 00:07:31,092
and so people were not happy about this.

128
00:07:31,092 --> 00:07:35,603
And so the very same day he 
did his first public apology ever.

129
00:07:35,603 --> 00:07:36,716
He wrote:

130
00:07:36,716 --> 00:07:44,279
<i>reads tweet.</i>

131
00:07:44,279 --> 00:07:48,909
And people definitely still thought James
was racist for, like, a good month

132
00:07:48,909 --> 00:07:49,924
after this.

133
00:07:49,924 --> 00:07:53,091
But the discourse got completely
overshadowed by the events of

134
00:07:53,091 --> 00:07:59,576
March 5th, 2017, which was the birth of
Flashback Mary.

135
00:07:59,576 --> 00:08:05,877
So what happened was that
James was at an event

136
00:08:05,877 --> 00:08:10,902
and he had WAY too much
powder on his face,

137
00:08:10,902 --> 00:08:15,481
and so when they took this picture of him,
it caused a flashback that gave him this,

138
00:08:15,481 --> 00:08:18,819
like, ghostly, ghoulish, sinister
SCP look to him.

139
00:08:18,819 --> 00:08:22,960
And the internet was immediately
obsessed with this.

140
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,620
Like, this is definitely one of the 
biggest memes that has hit the Internet.

141
00:08:26,620 --> 00:08:29,135
Ask anyone, ask your grandma, 
ask your

142
00:08:29,135 --> 00:08:31,421
local pastor, they know 
Flashback Mary.

143
00:08:31,421 --> 00:08:35,255
The main comparison that was being made
to James was of this spider from-

144
00:08:35,255 --> 00:08:36,624
what is this show called?

145
00:08:36,624 --> 00:08:38,785
It's called Miss Spider's
Sunny Patch Friends.

146
00:08:38,785 --> 00:08:42,226
Like, I can't express to you 
how many times

147
00:08:42,226 --> 00:08:44,066
I've seen this image against my will,

148
00:08:44,066 --> 00:08:46,743
I wish I could permaban it from my brain.

149
00:08:46,743 --> 00:08:51,895
Something a little disappointing about 
this meme, though, is that the

150
00:08:51,895 --> 00:08:54,535
widespread image of Flashback
Mary is not the real one.

151
00:08:54,535 --> 00:08:59,597
This is the real one, and I will say, the
flashback is still really bad,

152
00:08:59,597 --> 00:09:03,982
but whoever edited this picture
just made it 70 times worse.

153
00:09:03,982 --> 00:09:08,607
An interesting artifact of the time that I
found was this Redbubble page

154
00:09:08,607 --> 00:09:15,748
that just exclusively sells Flashback Mary
furniture, such as clocks and pillows.

155
00:09:15,748 --> 00:09:19,987
I really don't understand Redbubble,
people will just sell

156
00:09:19,987 --> 00:09:22,217
tych-fck-ehchk-ANYTHING there.

157
00:09:22,217 --> 00:09:26,935
Anyways, though, speaking of James
Charles' foundation, he does not

158
00:09:26,935 --> 00:09:28,977
know how to match that shit.

159
00:09:28,977 --> 00:09:32,779
Like, there's entire compilations
of him doing just that.

160
00:09:32,779 --> 00:09:37,409
And in this video specifically, he
describes himself as having

161
00:09:37,409 --> 00:09:38,264
warm undertones.

162
00:09:38,264 --> 00:09:41,477
"<i>GASP.</i> That looks like it could be
such a good match for me,

163
00:09:41,477 --> 00:09:44,336
everyone is convinced that my skintone
is, like, not warm."

164
00:09:44,336 --> 00:09:46,888
Girl, you are PINK! You are PINK!

165
00:09:46,888 --> 00:09:49,893
I think the funniest part about all
of this, though, is that he

166
00:09:49,893 --> 00:09:54,888
literally has a YouTube video trying, 
like, 40 different foundation shades, and

167
00:09:54,888 --> 00:09:59,169
in the end he <i>still</i> chooses the wrong one.

168
00:09:59,169 --> 00:10:04,211
Side note, though, another James 
Charles-ism is that he chronically misuses

169
00:10:04,211 --> 00:10:08,283
Facetune, especially in this era.

170
00:10:08,283 --> 00:10:14,059
And to be fair, he's never hid that he
uses Facetune, but it just looks so bad

171
00:10:14,059 --> 00:10:20,226
that I don't understand why he continues
to do it. Like, when I see these pictures,

172
00:10:20,226 --> 00:10:26,496
I get uncanny valley, Russian
Sleep Experiment, creepypasta vibes.

173
00:10:26,496 --> 00:10:31,241
Moving on, though, we have the "It"
debacle of 2017.

174
00:10:31,241 --> 00:10:37,460
Now, the It debacle began on September
7th when James tweeted about

175
00:10:37,460 --> 00:10:40,751
how he was gonna go see It, and
how excited he was about it.

176
00:10:40,751 --> 00:10:45,188
But literally five minutes into the movie,
he started tweeting about how bad

177
00:10:45,188 --> 00:10:47,761
it was, which, of course, is just nutty

178
00:10:47,761 --> 00:10:49,808
because how have you already
decided that

179
00:10:49,808 --> 00:10:52,948
you don't like the movie, and it's only 
been five minutes?

180
00:10:52,948 --> 00:10:56,016
And, like, why are you even on your phone?

181
00:10:56,016 --> 00:10:59,214
About thirty minutes later,
James tweets again,

182
00:10:59,214 --> 00:11:00,777
and this time, he says:

183
00:11:00,777 --> 00:11:11,423
<i>reading tweet.</i>

184
00:11:11,423 --> 00:11:15,262
Both of these tweets annoyed people for
obvious reasons.

185
00:11:15,262 --> 00:11:19,475
Like, he's just been texting the entire
movie.

186
00:11:19,475 --> 00:11:23,437
It doesn't even sound like he's been
watching it to know if it's bad!

187
00:11:23,437 --> 00:11:27,366
And so in response to all the people
questioning why he's doing this,

188
00:11:27,366 --> 00:11:28,463
he writes:

189
00:11:28,463 --> 00:11:36,287
<i>reads tweet.</i>

190
00:11:36,287 --> 00:11:37,958
But <i>then,</i>

191
00:11:37,958 --> 00:11:40,932
Finn Wolfhard replies to one of these
tweets and says:

192
00:11:40,932 --> 00:11:45,322
<i>reads tweet</i>

193
00:11:45,322 --> 00:11:49,948
Granted, at this time, I think Finn was
12 or 13 maybe.

194
00:11:49,948 --> 00:11:51,026
And so James tweets:

195
00:11:51,026 --> 00:11:55,473
<i>reads tweet.</i>

196
00:11:55,473 --> 00:11:58,759
Which sounds like he's accepting the
end of this.

197
00:11:58,759 --> 00:12:02,686
Like, this should be the end of the
conversation.

198
00:12:02,686 --> 00:12:08,035
But instead, he starts backtracking times
3,000, and he says:

199
00:12:08,035 --> 00:12:15,582
<i>reads tweet.</i>

200
00:12:15,582 --> 00:12:20,239
For the next few hours, people on 
Twitter would not leave him alone

201
00:12:20,239 --> 00:12:22,500
about why he was texting in the 
movie theater.

202
00:12:22,500 --> 00:12:23,982
And so he eventually says:

203
00:12:23,982 --> 00:12:30,967
<i>reads tweet.</i>

204
00:12:30,967 --> 00:12:33,925
And this dug his grave in even more.

205
00:12:33,925 --> 00:12:37,988
Because people were like, "What do you
mean 'everyone does it,'

206
00:12:37,988 --> 00:12:40,081
like, everyone does not do that!"

207
00:12:40,081 --> 00:12:45,728
Personally, as an AMC Stubs member,
this pains me.

208
00:12:45,728 --> 00:12:47,785
Follow me on Letterboxd so I can
feel important.

209
00:12:47,785 --> 00:12:52,666
But this caused people to start doing
polls about whether or not people

210
00:12:52,666 --> 00:12:55,883
actually texted people during movies.

211
00:12:55,883 --> 00:13:00,858
And the results were, of course,
overwhelmingly NO.

212
00:13:00,858 --> 00:13:02,087
No they do not!

213
00:13:02,087 --> 00:13:05,941
And again, this should've been the end of
the conversation, but he just keeps

214
00:13:05,941 --> 00:13:11,728
acknowledging it, and he ends up filming
an apology video in the backseat

215
00:13:11,728 --> 00:13:13,066
of an Uber.

216
00:13:13,066 --> 00:13:15,486
(James talking:) "I want to personally
apologize to Finn and anybody else

217
00:13:15,486 --> 00:13:17,293
involved in the making of the movie It."

218
00:13:17,293 --> 00:13:21,529
And regardless of all of this, a couple
days later, he ended up doing an

219
00:13:21,529 --> 00:13:23,405
It makeup tutorial.

220
00:13:23,405 --> 00:13:26,300
(James doing a Pennywise voice:) 
"Hiya, sisters! James Charles

221
00:13:26,300 --> 00:13:27,450
here, and welcome back to my
YouTube channel!"

222
00:13:27,450 --> 00:13:30,571
Which, by the way, the first six
seconds of this video

223
00:13:30,571 --> 00:13:35,075
changed my life for the worse, so I'm
gonna make <i>you</i> see this too.

224
00:13:35,075 --> 00:13:37,997
(dubstep, intense music)

225
00:13:37,997 --> 00:13:38,528
(scream sound effect)

226
00:13:38,528 --> 00:13:41,242
In 2018, the "Sister Squad formed

227
00:13:41,242 --> 00:13:44,247
And this was basically just of long

228
00:13:44,247 --> 00:13:46,888
squad of these four best friends that

229
00:13:46,888 --> 00:13:49,669
consisted of... I mentioned Ethan Dolan,

230
00:13:49,669 --> 00:13:52,018
Grayson Dolan, and of course

231
00:13:52,018 --> 00:13:56,039
James himself. Now Eathan Dolan / Grayson

232
00:13:56,039 --> 00:13:59,434
had a huge Youtube channel that they

233
00:13:59,434 --> 00:14:02,507
have been making videos on since 2014

234
00:14:02,507 --> 00:14:04,429
And James ended up meeting them in late

235
00:14:04,429 --> 00:14:07,772
2017 after he left he left a bunch of very

236
00:14:07,772 --> 00:14:10,371
Questionably, thirsty Tweets on both of

237
00:14:10,371 --> 00:14:12,434
Their Instagrams. These includes comments

238
00:14:12,434 --> 00:14:15,700
Such as "Run me over with that

239
00:14:15,700 --> 00:14:17,387
Motorcycle, daddy". "Choke me with that

240
00:14:17,387 --> 00:14:19,532
Seatbelt, daddy".

241
00:14:19,532 --> 00:14:21,636
And last but not least, " Hit me with that

242
00:14:21,636 --> 00:14:22,824
Stick, daddy".

243
00:14:22,824 --> 00:14:26,485
On June 9, 2018, the first ever "Sister

244
00:14:26,485 --> 00:14:28,913
Squad" video was posted and this

245
00:14:28,913 --> 00:14:31,803
Had a cultural impact like no other

246
00:14:31,803 --> 00:14:34,089
Squad at the time. I don't care what

247
00:14:34,089 --> 00:14:36,480
Anyone says. This is the truth.

248
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,339
The "Sister Squad" was such an

249
00:14:38,339 --> 00:14:40,652
Immediate success and all their videos

250
00:14:40,652 --> 00:14:43,527
Were pretty much just them hanging out.

251
00:14:43,527 --> 00:14:45,943
Each one of the "Sister Squad" videos got

252
00:14:45,943 --> 00:14:48,844
Around 30 million views a piece.

253
00:14:48,844 --> 00:14:51,762
And so, they say that people were

254
00:14:51,762 --> 00:14:54,282
invested.

255
00:14:56,838 --> 00:15:00,599
In this friend's group dynamic

256
00:15:00,599 --> 00:15:02,485
'It would be an understatement.

257
00:15:02,485 --> 00:15:06,620
The most notable dynamics was that of.

258
00:15:06,620 --> 00:15:07,032
Emma and Grayson because it was heavily

259
00:15:07,032 --> 00:15:08,714
theorized that they secretly dating while

260
00:15:08,714 --> 00:15:10,579
fans were constantly speculating them.,

261
00:15:10,579 --> 00:15:13,179
making entire compilations of their

262
00:15:13,179 --> 00:15:16,777
interactions. And secondly was the

263
00:15:16,777 --> 00:15:18,790
dynamic between James and Grayson.

264
00:15:18,790 --> 00:15:20,727
It was pretty much an open secret that

265
00:15:20,727 --> 00:15:23,357
James had a crush on Grayson and there's

266
00:15:23,357 --> 00:15:27,477
entire compilations of him unsuccessfully

267
00:15:27,477 --> 00:15:29,650
flirting with him. And there's

268
00:15:29,650 --> 00:15:34,432
definitely some of the incidents were

269
00:15:34,432 --> 00:15:35,187
preplanned as a joke, but there's

270
00:15:35,187 --> 00:15:37,251
also many that were pretty much very raw.

271
00:15:37,251 --> 00:15:40,521
Very real like you can feel the rejection

272
00:15:40,521 --> 00:15:41,692
in the air like <i>groaning</i>

273
00:15:41,692 --> 00:15:44,754
this is very important to remember when

274
00:15:44,754 --> 00:15:48,140
we get to bisister, so just keep this is

275
00:15:48,140 --> 00:15:51,529
in mind that this group being able to

276
00:15:51,529 --> 00:15:53,912
make millions and millions of views per

277
00:15:53,912 --> 00:15:55,561
video and despite the way they seem so

278
00:15:55,561 --> 00:15:58,253
close in these videos. These two things

279
00:15:58,253 --> 00:16:00,738
have appeared to cause some turmoil

280
00:16:00,738 --> 00:16:04,357
because by February 4th, 2019, Emma

281
00:16:04,357 --> 00:16:07,571
unfollowed all of them and to be fair,

282
00:16:07,571 --> 00:16:11,008
she did unfollow everyone but like six

283
00:16:11,008 --> 00:16:13,368
people and posted on her story that she

284
00:16:13,368 --> 00:16:16,774
had done that for a social media purge.

285
00:16:16,774 --> 00:16:19,461
But to be honest, it doesn't really make

286
00:16:19,461 --> 00:16:20,973
sense because if you are doing a social

287
00:16:20,973 --> 00:16:24,597
media purge I think you still follow your

288
00:16:24,597 --> 00:16:26,882
closest friends and just not anyone else.

289
00:16:26,882 --> 00:16:29,739
So it kinda seemed like a convenient, uh,

290
00:16:29,739 --> 00:16:32,764
excuse. And James Charles's response to

291
00:16:32,764 --> 00:16:35,604
this was this tweet, "I posted a beautiful

292
00:16:35,604 --> 00:16:38,531
makeup look today but you wouldn't know"

293
00:16:38,531 --> 00:16:41,242
In November of 2018, James released his

294
00:16:41,242 --> 00:16:43,874
first ever makeup pallet. And this, of

295
00:16:43,874 --> 00:16:46,496
course, was James X Morphe. Now, let me

296
00:16:46,496 --> 00:16:49,802
tell you, this pallet was extremely

297
00:16:49,802 --> 00:16:53,047
popular at the time. Everyone that I

298
00:16:53,047 --> 00:16:55,551
knew had this, I had this, and it was just

299
00:16:55,551 --> 00:16:58,797
generally really well recieved. So this

300
00:16:58,797 --> 00:17:01,523
new level of entrepreneurship really

301
00:17:01,523 --> 00:17:05,516
brought him up a threshold of passionate

302
00:17:05,516 --> 00:17:08,491
passionate fans. Like he did an appearance

303
00:17:08,491 --> 00:17:10,787
at a Morphe store in Birmingham and

304
00:17:10,787 --> 00:17:15,832
8,000 people showed up to the mall to see

305
00:17:15,832 --> 00:17:18,607
him and it literally caused gridlock

306
00:17:18,607 --> 00:17:21,044
outside of the store, like people were

307
00:17:21,044 --> 00:17:23,867
trapped in their cars. That is how

308
00:17:23,867 --> 00:17:27,925
popular he was at the time. However, it

309
00:17:27,925 --> 00:17:30,509
wouldn't be long until James found himself

310
00:17:30,509 --> 00:17:34,554
in another controversy. Also, oh my god, I

311
00:17:34,554 --> 00:17:36,824
almost forgot to mention that he was

312
00:17:36,824 --> 00:17:39,901
singing unprompted in front of this Morphe

313
00:17:39,901 --> 00:17:40,575
as well.

314
00:17:40,575 --> 00:17:44,203
<i>singing</i>

315
00:17:44,203 --> 00:17:47,960
The 2019 Sisters Tour. So James was doing

316
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,099
a tour across the country and the most

317
00:17:51,099 --> 00:17:53,578
expensive ticket that you could buy to see

318
00:17:53,578 --> 00:17:58,241
him was $500. Which, a lot of people

319
00:17:58,241 --> 00:18:00,926
were quick to call a scam. And he received

320
00:18:00,926 --> 00:18:03,592
a ton of backlash for this. Personally, I

321
00:18:03,592 --> 00:18:05,810
don't think this was a scam because you

322
00:18:05,810 --> 00:18:08,449
were going to get what you paid for. Like,

323
00:18:08,449 --> 00:18:10,102
it says right here what's included with

324
00:18:10,102 --> 00:18:13,424
this. It says, "Exclusive hangout with

325
00:18:13,424 --> 00:18:16,304
James Charles and the other Sister VIPS.

326
00:18:16,304 --> 00:18:18,612
One on one photo with James Charles.

327
00:18:18,612 --> 00:18:22,157
Exclusive Sisters VIP goodie bag. And

328
00:18:22,157 --> 00:18:24,796
exclusive autograph tour laminate. Front

329
00:18:24,796 --> 00:18:28,255
row seats and early access to merchandise

330
00:18:28,255 --> 00:18:30,904
vendors". Okay, that last one is crazy.

331
00:18:30,904 --> 00:18:34,008
Like, if your spending $500, I think you

332
00:18:34,008 --> 00:18:36,251
should get some free merch. In no way do I

333
00:18:36,251 --> 00:18:39,261
feel like this is worth $500 and like, in

334
00:18:39,261 --> 00:18:41,254
my perspective, I would feel like an

335
00:18:41,254 --> 00:18:44,455
asshole to hide a meet and greet with me

336
00:18:44,455 --> 00:18:47,591
behind a $500 paywall. However, if you

337
00:18:47,591 --> 00:18:50,280
really wanted to have all that stuff and

338
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:53,508
spend $500, that is your business. James

339
00:18:53,508 --> 00:18:55,921
did say that he would try to talk to his

340
00:18:55,921 --> 00:18:58,736
team about lowering the prices, but they

341
00:18:58,736 --> 00:19:01,059
did remain the same. And in case your

342
00:19:01,059 --> 00:19:06,045
wondering what the luxury VIP James

343
00:19:06,045 --> 00:19:09,701
Charles experience was like, there's a

344
00:19:09,701 --> 00:19:11,740
video on YouTube titled, "I PAID $500

345
00:19:11,740 --> 00:19:13,406
TO SING WITH JAMES CHARLES" and it's him

346
00:19:13,406 --> 00:19:15,609
surrounded by a huge group of girls

347
00:19:15,609 --> 00:19:19,983
singing Listen by Beyonce very poorly.

348
00:19:19,983 --> 00:19:25,879
<i>singing</i>

349
00:19:25,879 --> 00:19:29,062
A genuine perk I see for anyone who went

350
00:19:29,062 --> 00:19:31,160
on this tour though, was that they got to

351
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,584
witness the New Rules kick. In real time.

352
00:19:34,584 --> 00:19:37,958
<i>video plays</i>

353
00:19:37,958 --> 00:19:40,153
This became a meme just purely out of

354
00:19:40,153 --> 00:19:43,590
being the perfect storm. People just found

355
00:19:43,590 --> 00:19:45,844
out that some tickets to the tour cost

356
00:19:45,844 --> 00:19:49,649
$500 and then they see this. Poor

357
00:19:49,649 --> 00:19:52,805
singing and poor dancing. And that third

358
00:19:52,805 --> 00:19:56,278
miscellaneous kick, muah.

359
00:19:56,278 --> 00:19:58,062
Let's take a break to talk about something

360
00:19:58,062 --> 00:20:01,504
that definitely isn't overpriced. Today's

361
00:20:01,504 --> 00:20:04,534
video is sponsored by care/of. You guys,

362
00:20:04,534 --> 00:20:07,475
I'm so excited that care/of decided to

363
00:20:07,475 --> 00:20:10,471
partner with me again because I genuinely

364
00:20:10,471 --> 00:20:13,343
love my vitamin packs. Like, care/of has

365
00:20:13,343 --> 00:20:15,447
truly made remembering to take your

366
00:20:15,447 --> 00:20:17,749
vitamins and incorporating them into

367
00:20:17,749 --> 00:20:20,974
your wellness routines so convenient. And

368
00:20:20,974 --> 00:20:23,027
all I had to do to get the vitamins that

369
00:20:23,027 --> 00:20:25,339
were right for me, was take this little

370
00:20:25,339 --> 00:20:28,082
online quiz and it basically asks you

371
00:20:28,082 --> 00:20:33,790
questions about your lifestyle, and about

372
00:20:33,790 --> 00:20:36,096
your health goals. Then boom. care/of

373
00:20:36,096 --> 00:20:36,752
sends you doctor back recommendations

374
00:20:36,752 --> 00:20:39,690
right to your door in compostable packets.

375
00:20:39,690 --> 00:20:43,273
So! When I took my quiz, I said that I was

376
00:20:43,273 --> 00:20:45,377
concerned about my skin health, my eye

377
00:20:45,377 --> 00:20:48,345
health, and also that I wanted to improve

378
00:20:48,345 --> 00:20:50,804
my focus. And they ended up recommending

379
00:20:50,804 --> 00:20:53,380
me Astaxanthin, that's good for your eye

380
00:20:53,380 --> 00:20:55,650
and skin health. Then I got some Ceramides

381
00:20:55,650 --> 00:21:00,456
which is of course also good for your

382
00:21:00,456 --> 00:21:01,432
skin health. I got some Rhodiola which is

383
00:21:01,432 --> 00:21:03,706
for stress and focus. And honestly I could

384
00:21:03,706 --> 00:21:06,613
really rave all day about all of these,

385
00:21:06,613 --> 00:21:08,637
because since I've started taking these,

386
00:21:08,637 --> 00:21:11,115
I'm hooked and I've never been more

387
00:21:11,115 --> 00:21:14,028
satisfied with my skin, my hair, and my

388
00:21:14,028 --> 00:21:16,732
focus. Like, I feel like I'm genuinely

389
00:21:16,732 --> 00:21:20,705
getting good results.

390
00:21:20,705 --> 00:21:21,645
Care/of also has these wonderful powders

391
00:21:21,645 --> 00:21:23,863
that I love. I love their Collagen,

392
00:21:23,863 --> 00:21:26,668
seriously. I have tried other collagens

393
00:21:26,668 --> 00:21:29,622
and I hated them. They wouldn't dissolve

394
00:21:29,622 --> 00:21:32,104
in my coffee. They had a weird taste.

395
00:21:32,104 --> 00:21:34,023
And like they would just change the

396
00:21:34,023 --> 00:21:36,550
consistency of the coffee itself, like

397
00:21:36,550 --> 00:21:38,385
it was horrible. This is very important

398
00:21:38,385 --> 00:21:40,016
to me, like you guys don't even get it.

399
00:21:40,016 --> 00:21:41,788
So if you want to be super stoked, have

400
00:21:41,788 --> 00:21:45,959
some personalized vitamins that are

401

406
00:21:57,776 --> 00:21:59,997
us today. And now, back to the video.

407
00:21:59,997 --> 00:22:04,717
Welcome back! Now we're entering the calm

408
00:22:04,717 --> 00:22:06,992
before the storm and what I mean by that

409
00:22:06,992 --> 00:22:11,689
is that we are on the cusp of dramageddon

410
00:22:11,689 --> 00:22:16,186
This is literally April 2019 and no one

411
00:22:16,186 --> 00:22:20,071
had a single clue that the biggest drama

412
00:22:20,071 --> 00:22:22,975
of the internet would ever see what about

413
00:22:22,975 --> 00:22:25,978
to occur. Now, let me introduce to the

414
00:22:25,978 --> 00:22:27,112
central characters of the dramageddon.

415
00:22:27,112 --> 00:22:28,741
Ok, so here we have Tati Westbrook. She

416
00:22:28,741 --> 00:22:32,927
was a beauty guru as well as James'

417
00:22:32,927 --> 00:22:37,832
mentor and close friend. He even referred

418
00:22:37,832 --> 00:22:41,243
to her as a mother figure. As you can see

419
00:22:41,243 --> 00:22:44,034
here, this is James doing Tati's wedding

420
00:22:44,034 --> 00:22:47,565
makeup like that's how like this was how

421
00:22:47,565 --> 00:22:48,614
close they were and prior to these

422
00:22:48,614 --> 00:22:51,405
coming events, Tati had started her own

423
00:22:51,405 --> 00:22:55,996
supplement company in 2018 called Halo

424
00:22:55,996 --> 00:22:58,265
Beauty, and they basically sold like hair

425
00:22:58,265 --> 00:23:01,619
vitamins and skin vitamins, hoopla hoopla.

426
00:23:01,619 --> 00:23:04,934
Enter Jeffree Star. If you don't know who

427
00:23:04,934 --> 00:23:08,096
Jeffree Star is, he's probably in the top

428
00:23:08,096 --> 00:23:11,804
10 worst people on the internet and to

429
00:23:11,804 --> 00:23:15,066
fully explain why that is that would

430
00:23:15,066 --> 00:23:17,339
require like a whole three hour video.

431
00:23:17,339 --> 00:23:19,037
<i>inaudible</i>

432
00:23:19,037 --> 00:23:21,196
he has a very successful makeup company

433
00:23:21,196 --> 00:23:23,478
called "Jeffree Star Cosmetics" and his

434
00:23:23,478 --> 00:23:26,383
channel at this time was massive in the

435
00:23:26,383 --> 00:23:28,993
beauty community. However, not

436
00:23:28,993 --> 00:23:32,018
as massive as James' and side note,

437
00:23:32,018 --> 00:23:35,554
in 2024 he lives on a farm and sells yak

438
00:23:35,554 --> 00:23:38,507
meat. So, there's that. Our last big

439
00:23:38,507 --> 00:23:41,809
dramageddon figure is Shane Dodsen.

440
00:23:41,809 --> 00:23:45,872
Shane is probably also on that top 10 list

441
00:23:45,872 --> 00:23:48,714
of worse people online. Come to think of

442
00:23:48,714 --> 00:23:50,372
it, James is too, but we will cross that

443
00:23:50,372 --> 00:23:52,525
bridge when we get there. What is

444
00:23:52,525 --> 00:23:53,064
important to know now though, is that in

445
00:23:53,064 --> 00:23:59,121
landscape of 2019 YouTube, for some reason

446
00:23:59,121 --> 00:24:05,804
Jane Dodsen, like a respected

447
00:24:05,804 --> 00:24:06,788
documentarian, and he has just done a

448
00:24:06,788 --> 00:24:08,442
documentary series about Jeffree Star.

449
00:24:08,442 --> 00:24:10,878
Looking back on it, these videos were not

450
00:24:10,878 --> 00:24:13,953
good and 60% of them were just like

451
00:24:13,953 --> 00:24:16,245
filler but each and every one of them got

452
00:24:16,245 --> 00:24:17,933
around 30 million views. With that it

453
00:24:17,933 --> 00:24:22,218
mind, this brings us to Coachella 2019.

454
00:24:22,218 --> 00:24:28,314
This is where is all kicks off dude.

455
00:24:28,314 --> 00:24:32,344
During this time, James was "seeing" an

456
00:24:32,344 --> 00:24:34,994
influencer named Gage Gomez. "Seeing" it

457
00:24:34,994 --> 00:24:35,826
in air quotes because it was less of an

458
00:24:35,826 --> 00:24:37,428
actual relationship and more of actual

459
00:24:37,428 --> 00:24:41,833
like bicurious experimental time on Gage's

460
00:24:41,833 --> 00:24:44,681
end, but they were photographed at this

461
00:24:44,681 --> 00:24:47,499
Coachella multiple times, which made fans

462
00:24:47,499 --> 00:24:49,848
start to speculate that James had a

463
00:24:49,848 --> 00:24:52,095
boyfriend. And so, a lot of people began

464
00:24:52,095 --> 00:24:54,508
to tweet James about this and he actually

465
00:24:54,508 --> 00:24:57,464
responded to one of these tweets saying

466
00:24:57,464 --> 00:25:02,012
something along the lines of "No. I'm

467
00:25:02,012 --> 00:25:03,602
sadly still single. I was manipulated by

468
00:25:03,602 --> 00:25:05,565
a conman." I looked everywhere for this

469
00:25:05,565 --> 00:25:07,680
tweet and read it and writing down

470
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,509
every thing it said at this point but

471
00:25:10,509 --> 00:25:12,032
can't find it anymore. So, sources that

472
00:25:12,032 --> 00:25:15,446
trust me. James just subtweeted

473
00:25:15,446 --> 00:25:18,068
that Gage, several times over the

474
00:25:18,068 --> 00:25:21,664
Coachella weekend, including this one

475
00:25:21,664 --> 00:25:23,450
which says, "I'm sitting sobbing in my

476
00:25:23,450 --> 00:25:26,058
hotel room at 8 am and have to be on set

477
00:25:26,058 --> 00:25:28,277
in an hour. This is no one's fault but

478
00:25:28,277 --> 00:25:31,155
my own because my dumbass continues to

479
00:25:31,155 --> 00:25:33,294
go for the same type of insecure cute

480
00:25:33,294 --> 00:25:36,055
boys and it gets me hurt, every single

481
00:25:36,055 --> 00:25:37,845
time. I was started fucking to hate

482
00:25:37,845 --> 00:25:43,353
myself". Tensions are rising. Things are

483
00:25:43,353 --> 00:25:43,965
bubbling up, ok. And the next day of the

484
00:25:43,965 --> 00:25:46,527
festival, James ended up getting mobbed

485
00:25:46,527 --> 00:25:49,546
by fans because for some reason he didn't

486
00:25:49,546 --> 00:25:52,623
have like a VIP ticket which would have

487
00:25:52,623 --> 00:25:55,365
let him in like exclusive spaces to not

488
00:25:55,365 --> 00:25:57,870
be around so many fans. And so, all these

489
00:25:57,870 --> 00:26:00,862
people are running up on him right. He is

490
00:26:00,862 --> 00:26:03,153
like, holy shit, what do I do? And this

491
00:26:03,153 --> 00:26:06,807
led him to text his friend and fellow

492
00:26:06,807 --> 00:26:08,029
beauty guru, Nikita Dragon. And he asked

493
00:26:08,029 --> 00:26:10,300
her for help about the sicky situation.

494
00:26:10,300 --> 00:26:12,947
And so, she connects him to the Sugarbear

495
00:26:12,947 --> 00:26:15,059
Hair Team, because they're had their

496
00:26:15,059 --> 00:26:18,247
own VIP tent space, and they were going

497
00:26:18,247 --> 00:26:20,343
to let James in and in exchange for him

498
00:26:20,343 --> 00:26:23,516
doing just one Sugarbear Hair

499
00:26:23,516 --> 00:26:26,783
ad on his Instagram story and so,

500
00:26:26,783 --> 00:26:28,966
with no other choice, he signs the

501
00:26:28,966 --> 00:26:31,346
contract and gets in that tent. But let

502
00:26:31,346 --> 00:26:33,618
it be known that Sugarbear Hair was a

503
00:26:33,618 --> 00:26:35,508
very popular was a very popular vitamin

504
00:26:35,508 --> 00:26:39,687
brand as in Beauty Vitamins, as in for

505
00:26:39,687 --> 00:26:43,090
your skin and face. A.K.A. a direct

506
00:26:43,090 --> 00:26:44,899
competitor to Tati Westbrook's

507
00:26:44,899 --> 00:26:48,772
brand "Halo Beauty" Dramageddon arrived!

508
00:26:48,772 --> 00:26:52,242
Her story in the making. On April 22,

509
00:26:52,242 --> 00:26:56,445
James posted his contraction obligated ad

510
00:26:56,445 --> 00:26:59,539
on Instagram. Notably, as you can see

511
00:26:59,539 --> 00:27:02,648
here, he's actually promoting their sleep

512
00:27:02,648 --> 00:27:05,531
gummies, not their skin or hair ones. But

513
00:27:05,531 --> 00:27:07,536
he does this and then he gets on a plane

514
00:27:07,536 --> 00:27:09,593
to Australia. For what I am about to say

515
00:27:09,593 --> 00:27:12,784
next, at this point in time Tati

516
00:27:12,784 --> 00:27:17,622
Westbrook is 37 years old and James was

517
00:27:17,622 --> 00:27:20,556
only 19. By the time James landed in

518
00:27:20,556 --> 00:27:23,237
Australia, Tati had already posted

519
00:27:23,237 --> 00:27:26,941
multiple stories of her crying and

520
00:27:26,941 --> 00:27:29,445
saying she feels so betrayed by a close

521
00:27:29,445 --> 00:27:31,959
friend and she had been taken advantage

522
00:27:31,959 --> 00:27:34,695
by somebody she thought she can trust and

523
00:27:34,695 --> 00:27:37,974
she helped so much and it was very

524
00:27:37,974 --> 00:27:40,551
obvious, like that she was talking about

525
00:27:40,551 --> 00:27:43,740
James. Like he literally just posted that

526
00:27:43,740 --> 00:27:46,593
Sugarbear Hair ad so, people added two

527
00:27:46,593 --> 00:27:50,009
plus two together so unbeknownst to James,

528
00:27:50,009 --> 00:27:52,549
thousands and thousands of people had

529
00:27:52,549 --> 00:27:55,294
begun adding him on Twitter, messaging

530
00:27:55,294 --> 00:27:57,704
him on Instagram. People he knew were

531
00:27:57,704 --> 00:27:59,969
sending him messages being like what's

532
00:27:59,969 --> 00:28:01,828
going on with you and Tati. And so, he

533
00:28:01,828 --> 00:28:03,744
gets off the plane, right. He sees this.

534
00:28:03,744 --> 00:28:06,050
He tries to call Tati. He tries to text

535
00:28:06,050 --> 00:28:07,752
her. He tries to call her husband.

536
00:28:07,752 --> 00:28:10,311
Neither of them answers but Tati just

537
00:28:10,311 --> 00:28:14,211
continues to post on Instagram. So, he

538
00:28:14,211 --> 00:28:17,023
decides to just make a public

539
00:28:17,023 --> 00:28:19,414
apology post. So the apology read," I want

540
00:28:19,414 --> 00:28:21,405
to publicly apologize to my close friend

541
00:28:21,405 --> 00:28:23,343
Tati. She has been like a mother to me

542
00:28:23,343 --> 00:28:25,614
since before my first days in this

543
00:28:25,614 --> 00:28:28,410
industry and has given me more love so

544
00:28:28,410 --> 00:28:30,402
important resources and advice that I

545
00:28:30,402 --> 00:28:33,450
could ever ask for. This weekend I did an

546
00:28:33,450 --> 00:28:35,826
Instagram story for sleep vitamins that

547
00:28:35,826 --> 00:28:38,321
I have been taking because the brand helps

548
00:28:38,321 --> 00:28:40,850
me with security when the crowd around me

549
00:28:40,850 --> 00:28:43,302
at Coachella became unsafe. I did not

550
00:28:43,302 --> 00:28:45,117
accept any money for the post. As most

551
00:28:45,117 --> 00:28:47,335
of you know, Tati has a vitamin brand

552
00:28:47,335 --> 00:28:51,194
which I take on a daily basis but at the

553
00:28:51,194 --> 00:28:53,720
moment, I did not think about the

554
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,043
competition, which was a major oversight.

555
00:28:56,043 --> 00:28:58,823
I've supported Tati both online and off

556
00:28:58,823 --> 00:29:01,215
like she has done for me and I am

557
00:29:01,215 --> 00:29:03,575
devastated that I hurt somebody that I

558
00:29:03,575 --> 00:29:06,665
truly love and have endless respect for".

559
00:29:06,665 --> 00:29:10,644
I think the mature thing for 37-year-old

560
00:29:10,644 --> 00:29:14,038
Tati to do after seeing this would be to

561
00:29:14,038 --> 00:29:16,641
just talk to him, but instead she just

562
00:29:16,641 --> 00:29:19,854
continued ignoring him and posting and

563
00:29:19,854 --> 00:29:22,451
posting about this situation and crying

564
00:29:22,451 --> 00:29:26,651
online. And so, a few days later on May 4,

565
00:29:26,651 --> 00:29:30,831
2019, Gabriel Zamora, another beauty guru,

566
00:29:30,831 --> 00:29:34,267
posted this video titled "Makeup and

567
00:29:34,267 --> 00:29:36,822
Opinions". And during this video, he

568
00:29:36,822 --> 00:29:39,269
indirectly talks about the drama going on

569
00:29:39,269 --> 00:29:42,069
between Tati and James, saying that it's

570
00:29:42,069 --> 00:29:44,234
stupid that basically, Tati keeps like

571
00:29:44,234 --> 00:29:46,561
sub tweeting about him but won't

572
00:29:46,561 --> 00:29:49,153
actually say what's going on or just talk

573
00:29:49,153 --> 00:29:51,042
to him and he's honestly so right, like

574
00:29:51,042 --> 00:29:54,772
this 37-year-old woman just implying that

575
00:29:54,772 --> 00:29:56,942
her 19-year-old colleague has done

576
00:29:56,942 --> 00:29:59,942
something awful for days on end but then

577
00:29:59,942 --> 00:30:02,172
refuses to say anything about it

578
00:30:02,172 --> 00:30:04,516
to divulge more information and so

579
00:30:04,516 --> 00:30:07,144
Gabriel concludes this segment of the

580
00:30:07,144 --> 00:30:10,568
video by saying "Girl, go sit on the

581
00:30:10,568 --> 00:30:12,456
internet and talk about it then". And

582
00:30:12,456 --> 00:30:15,962
those words would unknowingly be the

583
00:30:15,962 --> 00:30:20,090
final straw, the final catalyst for the

584
00:30:20,090 --> 00:30:23,934
video that we all know today as the

585
00:30:23,934 --> 00:30:29,148
"Bye sister". "Bye sister" is one of the

586
00:30:29,148 --> 00:30:33,148
most iconic YouTube videos of all time.

587
00:30:33,148 --> 00:30:37,404
Seriously, the cultural impact of this

588
00:30:37,404 --> 00:30:40,733
cannot be minimized. Cannot be silenced.

589
00:30:40,733 --> 00:30:43,730
I still remember where I was when "Bye

590
00:30:43,733 --> 00:30:46,493
Sister" happened. It was a cold, windy

591
00:30:46,493 --> 00:30:50,965
day. On May 10th, 2019, when Tati decided

592
00:30:50,965 --> 00:30:54,989
that she needed to spill the tea "on

593
00:30:54,989 --> 00:30:57,489
James' Charles". This video is insane

594
00:30:57,489 --> 00:31:00,634
from start <i>gulp</i> to finished. It begins

595
00:31:00,634 --> 00:31:04,008
Gabriel Zamora's famous last words, "Girl,

596
00:31:04,008 --> 00:31:05,877
go talk about it on the internet then".

597
00:31:05,877 --> 00:31:07,731
"If you are going to go on the internet

598
00:31:07,731 --> 00:31:09,536
and cry and heavily imply that there

599
00:31:09,537 --> 00:31:10,965
a horrible human being

600
00:31:10,965 --> 00:31:12,779
and everybody can get what it is.

601
00:31:12,779 --> 00:31:14,344
Girl, sit on the internet

602
00:31:14,354 --> 00:31:15,604
and talk about it then".

603
00:31:15,613 --> 00:31:17,943
Imagine being the person that made this

604
00:31:17,943 --> 00:31:19,900
happen. But there were three major

605
00:31:19,900 --> 00:31:21,959
claims that Tati makes in this video

606
00:31:21,959 --> 00:31:24,622
against James Charles and let's just

607
00:31:24,622 --> 00:31:27,619
tackle them bullet point by bullet point.

608
00:31:27,619 --> 00:31:30,891
First and foremost, she claims that James

609
00:31:30,891 --> 00:31:34,472
purposefully sabotaged her vitamin gummy

610
00:31:34,472 --> 00:31:37,667
business by preorchestrating the Sugarbear

611
00:31:37,667 --> 00:31:40,800
hair contract. Two, that James' obnoxious

612
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,676
and talks about c*ck and balls.

613
00:31:43,676 --> 00:31:46,921
Three, and the most serious one, is that

614
00:31:46,921 --> 00:31:50,085
he tries to manipulate straight men. But

615
00:31:50,085 --> 00:31:52,078
let's start off with the vitamins. Tati

616
00:31:52,078 --> 00:31:54,279
lists multiple ways in which she

617
00:31:54,279 --> 00:31:56,709
supported James over the years by pouring

618
00:31:56,709 --> 00:31:59,431
over contracts for him, setting up his

619
00:31:59,431 --> 00:32:02,764
Google add cent by him even after he

620
00:32:02,764 --> 00:32:05,551
tweeted about Ebola. But despite all this

621
00:32:05,551 --> 00:32:07,470
stuff that she's given him, she claims

622
00:32:07,470 --> 00:32:11,065
James gave her no warning before he posted

623
00:32:11,065 --> 00:32:13,962
his Sugarbear Hair ad, and also that he

624
00:32:13,962 --> 00:32:17,346
actually made the whole Coachella security

625
00:32:17,346 --> 00:32:19,721
thing up like he wasn't getting bombarded

626
00:32:19,721 --> 00:32:21,894
by fans or anything. He just already

627
00:32:21,894 --> 00:32:24,529
planned to do the Sugarbear Hair ad. Her

628
00:32:24,529 --> 00:32:27,074
reasoning is that there is no way that a

629
00:32:27,074 --> 00:32:29,644
company would ever just go out of their

630
00:32:29,644 --> 00:32:32,410
way to give you a contract just like that.

631
00:32:32,410 --> 00:32:35,556
And so, he has to be liying and even if

632
00:32:35,556 --> 00:32:37,957
there was a security problem.

633
00:32:37,957 --> 00:32:41,129
Even if he was getting rushed by fans, he

634
00:32:41,129 --> 00:32:44,080
should have simply walked away.

635
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,052
You should have walked away. You should

636
00:32:46,052 --> 00:32:47,551
have held on to your integrity.

637
00:32:47,551 --> 00:32:49,569
You're phony. I know that now.

638
00:32:49,569 --> 00:32:52,073
These are all really interesting things

639
00:32:52,073 --> 00:32:55,400
to say because at the high of James' fame,

640
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,565
I would think that a lot of companies

641
00:32:57,565 --> 00:33:00,152
might want to leap at the opportunity to

642
00:33:00,152 --> 00:33:02,102
work with him. I also kind of love it and

643
00:33:02,102 --> 00:33:04,035
I am kind of gagged by the way that she

644
00:33:04,035 --> 00:33:07,188
just says "walk away from people mobbing

645
00:33:07,188 --> 00:33:07,910
you."

646
00:33:07,910 --> 00:33:09,794
A lot of people are like were like what

647
00:33:09,794 --> 00:33:11,606
is he supposed to do. It's dangerous.

648
00:33:11,606 --> 00:33:12,614
Like leave. Go home.

649
00:33:12,614 --> 00:33:14,785
Why are you drowning? Just breathe.

650
00:33:14,785 --> 00:33:16,732
Why are you getting cyberbullying?

651
00:33:16,732 --> 00:33:19,323
Walk away from the computer. She goes on

652
00:33:19,323 --> 00:33:21,660
to blame him for potentially losing

653
00:33:21,660 --> 00:33:24,192
thousands and thousands of dollars due

654
00:33:24,192 --> 00:33:26,614
to his Instagram ad. Because nobody is

655
00:33:26,614 --> 00:33:29,417
going to buy two different brands of hair

656
00:33:29,417 --> 00:33:30,423
gummies.

657
00:33:30,423 --> 00:33:32,274
It's not a palette. It's not something

658
00:33:32,274 --> 00:33:33,676
that people buy multiples of.

659
00:33:33,676 --> 00:33:35,867
Then she then contradicts herself by

660
00:33:35,867 --> 00:33:38,057
saying that she doesn't needs ads. She

661
00:33:38,057 --> 00:33:40,763
doesn't want ads and her product is

662
00:33:40,763 --> 00:33:42,760
selling like hotcakes

663
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:44,719
We're selling like hotcakes. Like I don't

664
00:33:44,719 --> 00:33:47,624
need to at this point. It seems like I

665
00:33:47,624 --> 00:33:50,112
am going on about this first bullet point

666
00:33:50,112 --> 00:33:53,643
for a while. It's because the majority of

667
00:33:53,643 --> 00:33:57,494
the video is actually about the gummy

668
00:33:57,494 --> 00:34:00,320
vitamins. She claims that James said

669
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:03,035
he couldn't advertise for halo beauty on

670
00:34:03,035 --> 00:34:05,465
his channel because he had too many young

671
00:34:05,468 --> 00:34:07,978
fans watching and he didn't want to like

672
00:34:07,978 --> 00:34:10,614
market them supplements and so, she's

673
00:34:10,614 --> 00:34:13,398
like "But here you are on your Instagram

674
00:34:13,398 --> 00:34:17,017
story, selling sleep pills to kids which

675
00:34:17,017 --> 00:34:21,700
is <i>whoa</i> thats a reach. Ma'am, these are

676
00:34:21,700 --> 00:34:23,374
melatonin gummies.

677
00:34:23,374 --> 00:34:25,985
Moving on to the fucking c*ck and balls

678
00:34:25,991 --> 00:34:28,647
and straight boy allegation section.

679
00:34:28,647 --> 00:34:31,349
Unfortunately, those two things are

680
00:34:31,349 --> 00:34:34,992
interlinked in this video. So that's why

681
00:34:34,992 --> 00:34:36,689
I'm roping them together. It's not

682
00:34:36,689 --> 00:34:37,766
that I'm not taking

683
00:34:37,766 --> 00:34:39,752
the last one seriously. It's that

684
00:34:39,752 --> 00:34:42,229
Tati has... Tati has done this to me.

685
00:34:42,229 --> 00:34:45,580
Tati claims that James tried to manipulate

686
00:34:45,580 --> 00:34:48,470
a waiter at her birthday dinner into

687
00:34:48,470 --> 00:34:51,326
thinking he was gay. She also claims that

688
00:34:51,326 --> 00:34:54,526
he was saying very loudly explicit things

689
00:34:54,526 --> 00:34:56,627
that he wanted to do to him.

690
00:34:56,627 --> 00:34:59,004
But what was most shocking to her was the

691
00:34:59,008 --> 00:35:01,622
fact that he was willing to talk about

692
00:35:01,622 --> 00:35:04,277
all this in front of her family and his

693
00:35:04,277 --> 00:35:06,538
own parents which is why we get the

694
00:35:06,538 --> 00:35:09,869
iconic sucking d<i>ck and c</i>ck line.

695
00:35:09,869 --> 00:35:11,657
Sucking and dick and cock. Like

696
00:35:11,657 --> 00:35:13,081
I'm just like Oh my God

697
00:35:13,081 --> 00:35:15,360
time and place and you did it at my

698
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:16,413
birthday dinner.

699
00:35:16,413 --> 00:35:18,655
She claims she told James to leave the

700
00:35:18,655 --> 00:35:20,540
waiter alone and that he was straight.

701
00:35:20,540 --> 00:35:23,084
And in response he said it doesn't

702
00:35:23,084 --> 00:35:25,470
matter. I'm famous. She concludes the

703
00:35:25,470 --> 00:35:27,454
video with talking about some other

704
00:35:27,454 --> 00:35:30,942
vague instances of James trying to

705
00:35:30,942 --> 00:35:33,336
manipulate straight men and claims that

706
00:35:33,336 --> 00:35:35,164
the only reason why she's posting this

707
00:35:35,164 --> 00:35:37,644
is because it's a last ditch effort to get

708
00:35:37,644 --> 00:35:39,949
through to him so that he will stop

709
00:35:39,949 --> 00:35:42,820
trying to manipulate and seduce these

710
00:35:42,820 --> 00:35:44,922
straight men. Okay, let me just do a

711
00:35:44,922 --> 00:35:47,226
quick disclaimer here. I'm going to be

712
00:35:47,226 --> 00:35:50,337
treating the bye sister allegations as

713
00:35:50,337 --> 00:35:53,352
their own separate thing. Not really

714
00:35:53,352 --> 00:35:56,099
trying to connect them to further

715
00:35:56,099 --> 00:35:58,588
allegations because I feel like that will

716
00:35:58,588 --> 00:36:01,232
get very crazy and twisted and that is

717
00:36:01,232 --> 00:36:03,683
not what I want because a lot of bye

718
00:36:03,683 --> 00:36:06,455
sister, as you will see, gets debunked.

719
00:36:06,455 --> 00:36:09,560
Where as in the future. there are actual

720
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:14,064
victims that James like has with reciepts

721
00:36:14,064 --> 00:36:15,407
So I don't want Dramageddon

722
00:36:15,407 --> 00:36:17,388
and like that world

723
00:36:17,388 --> 00:36:19,720
intermixing out of respect.

724
00:36:19,720 --> 00:36:22,895
And so, with that in mind, we

725
00:36:22,895 --> 00:36:24,831
need to talk a little bit more about the

726
00:36:24,831 --> 00:36:27,698
elephant in the room with bye sister and

727
00:36:27,698 --> 00:36:30,863
that is that Tati spent the majority of

728
00:36:30,863 --> 00:36:34,361
video talking about her beef with James,

729
00:36:34,361 --> 00:36:37,428
with the vitamins, but then in the end

730
00:36:37,428 --> 00:36:40,341
claims that she making this video because

731
00:36:40,341 --> 00:36:43,804
of the sexual ab*use allegations.

732
00:36:43,804 --> 00:36:46,130
Including but not limited to the sexual

733
00:36:46,130 --> 00:36:48,356
harrassment of the waiter at the

734
00:36:48,356 --> 00:36:50,321
restaurant. Also just have to mention

735
00:36:50,321 --> 00:36:52,625
it, I don't know if you noticed this but

736
00:36:52,625 --> 00:36:56,339
the Jeffree Star Lipsticks sitting in the

737
00:36:56,339 --> 00:37:00,382
background of this video. Oh My God!

738
00:37:00,382 --> 00:37:04,685
Move over classic literature writers.

739
00:37:04,685 --> 00:37:07,791
That is the best foreshadowing I've ever

740
00:37:07,791 --> 00:37:11,601
seen. Regardless, the immediate public

741
00:37:11,601 --> 00:37:14,741
response to bye sister was cateclismic.

742
00:37:14,742 --> 00:37:17,972
The video quickly accumulated 30 million

743
00:37:17,972 --> 00:37:22,222
views and a trend sparked within the hour

744
00:37:22,222 --> 00:37:25,654
of burning or destroying your James'

745
00:37:25,654 --> 00:37:28,424
Morphe palatte . There are many of these

746
00:37:28,435 --> 00:37:31,268
compilations. This one alone is 10 minutes

747
00:37:31,268 --> 00:37:34,072
straight of people just destroying their

748
00:37:34,072 --> 00:37:37,185
James Morphe palatte. James Charles

749
00:37:37,185 --> 00:37:40,123
is over party was trending on Twitter.

750
00:37:40,123 --> 00:37:42,148
My personal memory of this is

751
00:37:42,148 --> 00:37:44,593
going on Snapchat and seeing on

752
00:37:44,593 --> 00:37:46,926
one of my friend's stories that there was

753
00:37:46,926 --> 00:37:49,897
a line out the door at my local Ulta

754
00:37:49,897 --> 00:37:52,708
of girls were just returning the

755
00:37:52,708 --> 00:37:55,079
James' palette. I really, really wish I

756
00:37:55,079 --> 00:37:57,001
could have found footage of that because

757
00:37:57,001 --> 00:37:59,236
it contributes to a bigger picture here

758
00:37:59,236 --> 00:38:02,086
and that is, I think, everybody had a

759
00:38:02,086 --> 00:38:04,837
little bit of mass hysteria with this

760
00:38:04,837 --> 00:38:07,580
because I have just never seen people

761
00:38:07,580 --> 00:38:10,295
react in the way people reacted

762
00:38:10,295 --> 00:38:13,140
to bye sister. Like people have done other

763
00:38:13,140 --> 00:38:16,391
alleged things that are of equivalent or

764
00:38:16,391 --> 00:38:19,848
worse and we have not seen

765
00:38:19,848 --> 00:38:20,811
something like this

766
00:38:20,811 --> 00:38:24,139
happen. Anyways, within all this havoc,

767
00:38:24,139 --> 00:38:27,459
later that night James post an apology

768
00:38:27,459 --> 00:38:31,069
video simply titled "Tati". This is a nine

769
00:38:31,069 --> 00:38:33,665
minute video but I am willing to bet the

770
00:38:33,665 --> 00:38:36,700
actual amount of talking in it is more so

771
00:38:36,700 --> 00:38:39,266
around like four because in it,

772
00:38:39,266 --> 00:38:42,385
James is very clearly jetlagged and

773
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:46,119
tired like he's whispering. He's talking

774
00:38:46,119 --> 00:38:48,089
really slow.

775
00:38:48,089 --> 00:38:52,844
I met Tati.

776
00:38:52,844 --> 00:38:55,414
Not only that, he only apologizes

777
00:38:55,414 --> 00:38:57,788
for disrespecting Tati. He doesn't

778
00:38:57,788 --> 00:39:02,350
confirm or deny any other allegations. he

779
00:39:02,350 --> 00:39:04,513
just needs to be more careful of his

780
00:39:04,513 --> 00:39:06,462
relationships in the future in the

781
00:39:06,462 --> 00:39:10,175
public eye. And so, posts and to say that

782
00:39:10,175 --> 00:39:14,079
people um didn't receive it well would be

783
00:39:14,079 --> 00:39:16,191
a flub. it would be a lil flub.

784
00:39:16,191 --> 00:39:18,936
As soon as video dropped, a ton of

785
00:39:18,936 --> 00:39:20,723
channels began to live

786
00:39:20,723 --> 00:39:23,725
streaming. The live sub count of James

787
00:39:23,725 --> 00:39:27,033
Charles losing thousands and thousands

788
00:39:27,033 --> 00:39:29,890
and thousands of subscribers meanwhile,

789
00:39:29,890 --> 00:39:33,381
showing Tati gaining subs. I'm not joking

790
00:39:33,381 --> 00:39:35,081
with you guys when I say, there was

791
00:39:35,081 --> 00:39:37,886
probably like 300 of these channels all

792
00:39:37,886 --> 00:39:41,863
active at once and in the live chat people

793
00:39:41,863 --> 00:39:45,523
were goading them on like a sports event

794
00:39:45,523 --> 00:39:49,643
before terminally online makeup girlies

795
00:39:49,643 --> 00:39:52,187
At least partially because of these

796
00:39:52,187 --> 00:39:54,952
live sub trackers, James Charles would

797
00:39:54,952 --> 00:39:57,645
become the first Youtuber to lose one

798
00:39:57,645 --> 00:40:02,908
million subscribers in one day. There were

799
00:40:02,908 --> 00:40:05,889
a ton of memes about the Tati apology

800
00:40:05,889 --> 00:40:08,348
video floating around and let's just

801
00:40:08,348 --> 00:40:11,043
say all of the breathing in it did not

802
00:40:11,043 --> 00:40:12,432
help the case.

803
00:40:12,432 --> 00:40:17,474
*breathing

804
00:40:17,474 --> 00:40:20,233
Meanwhile, a ton of people started chiming

805
00:40:20,233 --> 00:40:22,662
in about the situation on Twitter and

806
00:40:22,662 --> 00:40:25,271
even just kind of making things up to

807
00:40:25,271 --> 00:40:28,314
insert themselves into the conversation

808
00:40:28,314 --> 00:40:30,486
because it was so trendy.

809
00:40:30,486 --> 00:40:33,393
For example, the singer Zara Larson posted

810
00:40:33,393 --> 00:40:34,848
this tweet that said

811
00:40:34,848 --> 00:40:36,853
"I'm cackling cause he hit up my

812
00:40:36,853 --> 00:40:39,115
boyfriend in the dms several times

813
00:40:39,115 --> 00:40:41,600
knowing damn well he's straight".

814
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:43,845
She would later go on to apologize for

815
00:40:43,845 --> 00:40:46,455
that because she didn't realize that he

816
00:40:46,455 --> 00:40:49,357
had only sent her boyfriend one message.

817
00:40:49,357 --> 00:40:51,364
There was also some person making the

818
00:40:51,364 --> 00:40:54,145
claim that in high school, James had

819
00:40:54,145 --> 00:40:57,652
catfished the entire football team just

820
00:40:57,652 --> 00:41:00,556
to trick them into sending him d*** pics,

821
00:41:00,556 --> 00:41:04,218
which I mean, it's a wild claim.

822
00:41:04,218 --> 00:41:06,590
I'm not saying impossible but it's

823
00:41:06,590 --> 00:41:08,029
f******* wild, I'll say that.

824
00:41:08,029 --> 00:41:10,827
At this point, people also mass

825
00:41:10,827 --> 00:41:13,881
unfollowing James on Instagram, as well,

826
00:41:13,881 --> 00:41:16,616
and some of the people unfollowed him

827
00:41:16,616 --> 00:41:19,364
include people like the Kardashians,

828
00:41:19,364 --> 00:41:21,940
Demi Lavato, Ariana Grande....

829
00:41:21,940 --> 00:41:25,360
But most importantly to all of this, is

830
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:27,690
the fact that every single one of the

831
00:41:27,690 --> 00:41:29,855
members of the sister squad unfollowed

832
00:41:29,855 --> 00:41:32,937
him which affectively ended it.

833
00:41:32,937 --> 00:41:35,952
The next day, May 14th, Gage Gomez

834
00:41:35,952 --> 00:41:38,633
uploads a video titled " My first

835
00:41:38,633 --> 00:41:41,460
YouTube video" and in it he talks about

836
00:41:41,460 --> 00:41:44,538
how James having sub tweeted him had

837
00:41:44,538 --> 00:41:48,065
actually, caused a shit ton of his fans to

838
00:41:48,065 --> 00:41:51,268
his page and start threatening him and

839
00:41:51,268 --> 00:41:53,812
harassing him. He also says that James

840
00:41:53,812 --> 00:41:57,366
realized that these sub tweets were wrong

841
00:41:57,366 --> 00:42:01,616
because he ended up apologizing to him

842
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and deleting them, but essentially he just

843
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
wanted to clear his name out of this.

844
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Confusingly though, shortly after this

845
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
video was posted he went on a Instagram

846
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
live stream and when somebody asked him

847
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
if he was single he said that he had just

848
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
been dumped and seemed to imply that

849
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
it was either James or related to James

850
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
in some way.

851
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Someone by the little name of, um

852
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I'm not gonna say it. It starts with a J.

853
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
What makes this even more convulated to

854
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
is that I found out on one of the days

855
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that James was at Coachella, he went to

856
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
brunch with this guy named DIllon Gike

857
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I think and the *gasp it all is, is that

858
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
this person Dillon is Gage's friend and

859
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
speculated more than friend. So there's

860
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that interesting thing. Then Dillon would

861
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
comment on Gage's page calling clout

862
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
chaser. I don't know what kind of friend

863
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
dynamics or anything more happening here,

864
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
but it made me very confused about Gage's

865
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
stance in all of this. Shortly after that

866
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
live stream though Gage would post

867
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
another video that just made me even more

868
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
confused because in this video he said

869
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that James tried to manipulate him to

870
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
thinking he was gay, even after telling

871
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that he was straight multiple times but

872
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
James kept pursuing him. I have

873
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
nothing more to say about this video even

874
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
though I totally believe it could have

875
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
happened but also, I am confused.

876
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
*Popping noise

877
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Alrighty, Here we are.

878
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I am just a little bit lost in it all.

879
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Let's move on.

880
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
While all this is going on, Ian Jeffree,

881
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
A.K.A. James' little brother tweets out

882
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
" Why does everyone act so tough over the

883
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
internet".

884
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And Jeffree Star chimes in within A.K.

885
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
47 for no reason he says

886
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
"Why is your brother a predator?? Why'd

887
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
you really move back to NYC? Exactly.

888
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Shut the f*** up".

889
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
For context, I guess Ian had moved back

890
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to New York City to be with their parents

891
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
recently, but saying this to a 17-year-old

892
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that probably has no idea what you are

893
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
talking about. It's so Jeffree Star. Like,

894
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
at least he stays on brand like he just

895
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
continues to be a bad person.

896
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But Jeffree ended up continuing he said,

897
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
"There is a reason why I haven't seen him

898
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
since Tati's birthday in February. He is a

899
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
danger to society. Everything that Tati

900
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
said is 100% true.

901
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
On the same day as these tweets, Sam,

902
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the waiter from Tati's birthday party.

903
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
"Sucking a dick and cock"

904
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Posted a video explaining his side of the

905
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
story and basically, Sam explains that

906
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
James had asked another one of the waiters

907
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
for his number and if he would was single.

908
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
He also complimented him on the way

909
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that he looked. Since he didn't get his

910
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
number, he left the restaurant and that

911
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
was that but later that night, Sam's

912
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
sister convinced him to dm James and talk

913
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to him again and so, he did and they

914
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
started talking. James apologizes for

915
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
flirting with him. At this point he

916
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
actually found it flattering.

917
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The conversation escalated until James

918
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
invited him to his hotel room, and since

919
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Sam says he is bicurious he went to

920
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
go meet up with him. He says

921
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
they ended up making out for around

922
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
an hour at the hotel and that James'

923
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
is the worst kind of kisser he's ever had.

924
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It's just...

925
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
If I am being honest, he is the worst

926
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
kisser I've ever kissed. Way too much

927
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
tongue. He then goes on to say that James

928
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
begged him to stay in the hotel with him

929
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
but because he did not enjoy the kissing,

930
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
he decided to leave anyways. And now the

931
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
following week, James offered to fly Sam

932
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
out to California for his birthday, but

933
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Sam told him that he figured out that he

934
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
was pretty much straight so it wouldn't be

935
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
right for him to accept the invitation. At

936
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
which point James became upset and told

937
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
him that he was not straight and that

938
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
he hoped that he would figure that out

939
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
sooner than later. The TLDR at the end of

940
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
this video is that the last draw for Sam

941
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to cut contact off with James was finding

942
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
out he was also talking to Gage at the

943
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
same time meaning that he thought that

944
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
he was playing two straight guys at once.

945
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
On May 13th, Nikita Dragon jumps back into

946
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Dramageddon and tweets out strange shots

947
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
between her and James Charles. She's

948
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
trying to back him up, trying to be like

949
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
"See, it really did happen guys",

950
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
like he was getting bombarded at Coachella

951
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
but this really only made things worse,

952
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
because after Tati's video, everyone

953
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
really believed that James had reached

954
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
out to Sugarbear Hair in a pre-planned

955
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
effort, not to mention that she didn't

956
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
bring up the straight boy allegations so

957
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
people were really clowning on her for

958
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
this. She posted a YouTube video the

959
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
following day titled "What really

960
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
happened" and this made plenty of fans

961
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
click on the video expecting her to

962
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
talk about James and Tati situation

963
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
because, of course, what else could this

964
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
be about and, mind you, I haven't actually

965
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
watched this video completely, scrubbed

966
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
from the internet. Cannot find it

967
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
anywhere. But apparently instead of

968
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
addressing anything relevant, she just

969
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
makes a general statement about mean

970
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
comments and then plugs her beauty brand

971
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
for the last, like five minutes. Which

972
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
goes to show how much people

973
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
were capitalizing off this beef. I mean

974
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Nikita Dragon was literally just there at

975
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Coachella with James. She could have said

976
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
something about the subject but

977
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
she was like I'm gonna get into this with

978
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
my Dragon Beauty brand. This same night,

979
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Jeffree Star goes out on Snapchat and

980
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
starts talking about how he has crazy

981
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
receipts on James and he's going to be

982
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
exposing him very soon and I have to say

983
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
this is probably my least favorite thing

984
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that Jeffrey does all the time is that I

985
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
feel like actually does have crazy

986
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
blackmail against people but he only ever

987
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
uses it for self-interest, Like he's like

988
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
he has something insane like crazy

989
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
proof that James Charles has done

990
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
something beyond the pale that we don't

991
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
even know about yet. The only way

992
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
he would leak it is if it was in his

993
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
own benefit,

994
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
On May 17th, Tati Westbrook post another

995
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
video addressing this whole situation

996
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
called "Why I did it" and for some reason

997
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
this video hasn't been archived.

998
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I was only able to watch someone else's

999
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
reaction of it but basically gist that I

1000
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
got was this was just her doubling down on

1001
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
what she has said previously, only now she

1002
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
wishes people wouldn't pick sides on what

1003
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
between her and James.

1004
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But little did everyone know that that

1005
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the next day on May 18th, James would

1006
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
upload "No More Lies", which is probably

1007
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the internet's biggest uno reverse.

1008
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Which nobody claims in bisister and so

1009
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
many debunkinings and not debunkinings

1010
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
happening in "No More Lies".

1011
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
We are just going to take it category by

1012
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
category again. No More claims state

1013
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
of claim. Firstly, she said the ad was

1014
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
preorchestrated. It was that Jamas talked

1015
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to the Sugarbear hair team on the grounds

1016
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
at Coachella, Two, James didn't give her

1017
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
any warning before he put up the ad.

1018
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
He only says something after which was not

1019
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the case. He had screenshots of the text

1020
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
message where he warned her in advance

1021
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and to which she replied "I'm so hurt"

1022
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and he gave a lengthy apology.

1023
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Three, she said James said he wouldn't

1024
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
talk about Halo Beauty on social media or

1025
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
his channel because he didn't want to

1026
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
promote supplements to young kids.

1027
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
This is a really weird and strange lie.

1028
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Like he promoted Halo Beauty multiple

1029
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
times and across his social media pages.

1030
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So, I am trying to understand Tati, I am

1031
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
trying why to lie about maniscule things.

1032
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
*Inaudible

1033
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Another one of Tati's claims was that

1034
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
James had been using his power, influence

1035
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and money in order to extort sexual

1036
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
favors to people to manipulate them and J

1037
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
James admits that he is a 19-year-old

1038
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
virgin and that isn't the case because he

1039
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
is not fuckin but I will say this. At

1040
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
12:40 in this video he says

1041
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
"We'll never use my fame, money, or

1042
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
power to manipulate or get any sexual

1043
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
actions from a guy",

1044
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Which did not age well. When it comes to

1045
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
this allegation in the James Charles

1046
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
timeline, I have a little bit of a

1047
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
question mark over it because I am not

1048
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
sure how much damage he had done at age

1049
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
19. But from what we know about Gage and

1050
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Sam, the waiter, there were some strange

1051
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
tendencies already at play.

1052
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Another claim Tati had was at her birthday

1053
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
dinner she had tried to tell James the

1054
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
waiter was straight and to leave him alone

1055
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
He replied saying it doesn't matter. I'm

1056
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
so famous, right? Well , it turns out

1057
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that was actually a lie as well, because

1058
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
there are screenshots of James and all

1059
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
of his friends including Tati making the

1060
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
same joke where they say "We're so famous"

1061
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
like definitely it was not supposed to be

1062
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
a serious thing. Again, really

1063
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
interesting. I don't understand the

1064
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
choices to lie about something so petty,

1065
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
especially when you are overall message

1066
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
was supposed to be about something as

1067
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
serious as like sexual misconduct

1068
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
allegations. And speaking of Sam, the

1069
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
waiter, James has screenshots of their

1070
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
conversations as well. And in these

1071
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
screenshots you can clearly see that

1072
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Same had actually told him straight up

1073
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that he was bisexual. So this is where it

1074
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
gets kind of interesting cause Sam didn't

1075
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
mentioned this in his side of the story.

1076
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
After they agreed to stop their

1077
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
relationship, James had blocked him.

1078
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And after this, Sam had used his friend's

1079
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
phone to DM James from his account and

1080
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
blocked and why he actually figured out

1081
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that he was full gay so that he could get

1082
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
him on a FaceTime call and record him.

1083
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Instead of talking to James about his gay

1084
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
revelation, he asked James if he was

1085
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
talking to Gage at the same time that they

1086
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
were talking. At this point, Sam told

1087
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
James that he wasn't actually gay. He was

1088
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
just trying to get him on this phone call

1089
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and so James hung up. But then, after the

1090
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
call, Sam text him that he basically

1091
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
confirmed bi, which it why in Sam's video

1092
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
you saw the screenshot of James saying

1093
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that you are not straight, You are not

1094
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
ever going to be straight. The sooner you

1095
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
figure that out the better, etc. Now

1096
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
outside of Tati's allegations, Jeffree

1097
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Star had personally been texted James

1098
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that he had a bunch a dirt on him and

1099
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that he was gonna expose him for various

1100
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
things sooner or later, And so, at this

1101
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
point in "No More Lies", we start to

1102
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
address that. And so Jeffree's claims are

1103
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
as follows: Number one: that James has

1104
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
been talking shit about him. Number two:

1105
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that James had to try to Jeffree's

1106
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
brother in law to like him and sent him

1107
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
unsolicited, inappropriate pictures. And

1108
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
thirdly, James trapped Sam the the waiter

1109
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
in his hotel and that they were all gonna

1110
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
get together and film a video about how

1111
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that happened and expose. Lastly, and

1112
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
this is the craziest one that he had tried

1113
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to touch and molest Grayson Dolan in his

1114
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
sleep and made him uncomfortable for

1115
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
months. James' rebuttal to these claims

1116
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
were that he had only talked to Jeffree's

1117
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
brother-in-law a handful of times and

1118
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
it was nothing inappropriate. And next,

1119
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the trapping Sam in the hotel room thing

1120
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
we know is not true because Sam. himself,

1121
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
said so. And then finally, the rebuttal

1122
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
for the most serious and crazy allegation

1123
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
is that this is simply not true and that

1124
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the rejection jokes that was in the

1125
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
sister's squad videos were pretty much

1126
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
all staged. James also claims that the

1127
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Dolan twins were among the first to call

1128
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
him and make sure he was alright and

1129
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
during the initial bisister of the

1130
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
dramageddon of it all. There weren't any

1131
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
receipts for that. We don't really know

1132
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
what happened between them and neither

1133
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
of the Dolan twins ever refollowed James,

1134
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
so there is that as well. We'll talk a

1135
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
little bit more about the Dolans later

1136
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
on. But all in all, "No More Lies"

1137
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
changed the YouTube landscape for weeks

1138
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and flipped the entire situation on it's

1139
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
head. Like, never in my life have I seen

1140
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
people switch up this fast before. And

1141
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
despite every body being this initially

1142
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
being on Tati's side in all of this,

1143
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
right after this video dropped, his

1144
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
subscriber account rise again and

1145
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
meanwhile, Tati's began to fall. Speaking

1146
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
of Tati, her immediate reponse to "No More

1147
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Lies" was to get on Twitter and say

1148
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
things like this:

1149
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I have left town on a digital break to

1150
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
heal and pray for healing on all sides. My

1151
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
family made me aware on what was just

1152
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
posted and I am disappointed ro see

1153
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
it littered with so many lies and half

1154
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
truths. I stand by my videos. Do not twist

1155
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
my words to what they are not, hear the

1156
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
message.

1157
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Dudes, can I be totally honest with you

1158
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
guys right now? The way Tati speaks

1159
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
like she's the Buddhist monk pisses me

1160
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
off! She also posted a couple of

1161
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
other Tweets but they basicaaly said the

1162
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
same exact thing like, "Praying on all

1163
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
sides", "Peace and love" da ba duh

1164
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Then she goes on to like a novel length

1165
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
post and the TLDR that I give you says:

1166
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
"I spent all the last few years building

1167
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
up a career on honesty, integrity and

1168
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
truth. But let me tell you guys that

1169
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Tati is a makeup reviewer. She basically

1170
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
says things like "I hope that our

1171
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
community is somehow strengthened from

1172
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
all this madness and that we will all

1173
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
strive to hold ourselves and each other

1174
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to a higher standard".

1175
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Girl, what?!? Jeffree Star also

1176
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
immediately got on Twitter and said:

1177
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
"Everyone keeps asking me for receipts...

1178
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I have so much to say and some really sad

1179
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and disgusting things to show you guys.

1180
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
James Charles tried to mass manipulate

1181
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
all of you today. When I show you

1182
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the proof and why I tweeted

1183
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the tweet about him, you'll understand"

1184
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and get this. Get this! Tati deletes Bye

1185
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Sister after just typing up novels about

1186
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
how she said she said what she said and

1187
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
she stands by it, And she is praying for

1188
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
everyone on all sides. I hope the

1189
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
community gets stronger out of this.

1190
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Like she can't claim that this was for the

1191
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
betterment of society in and then

1192
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
take it down. She then took like a week

1193
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and a half off of YouTube and returned

1194
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
video called "I'm Back" and it's literally

1195
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
just a makeup tutorial, She just pretends

1196
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
like none of that even happened. And as

1197
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
you can see here, the audience was just

1198
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
really confused by this, The top comment

1199
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
literally "Tati, I stand by everything I

1200
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
said". Also,, Tati deletes video a day

1201
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
after the Tati video. Sam, the waiter,

1202
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
returns to the internet with a new

1203
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
video titled "I'm sorry James Charles".

1204
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
In it, he says that his friends and his

1205
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
family pressured him to continue talking

1206
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to James and even typed out some of the

1207
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
messages to James pretending to be Sam.

1208
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
He also says that they hold him to be

1209
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
just pretend to be gay and to date James

1210
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to get all the opportunities that would

1211
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
come with that.

1212
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
*inaudible

1213
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
James returned to YouTube in a very

1214
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
pleasant audience and a very different

1215
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
internet compared to a just a few short

1216
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
weeks a go. By all standards, Tati's video

1217
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
should have been that final nail

1218
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
in the coffin and impossible to come

1219
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
back from, but there he was an amazing

1220
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
comeback story at the time.

1221
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
In November of 2019, Tati was still

1222
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
trying to fully ignore what happened and

1223
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
move on despite on not saying anything

1224
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and then she wants to make a brand

1225
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
called Tati Beaity and spoiler alert, both

1226
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Tati Beauty and Halo Beauty would not

1227
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
survive the upcoming pandemic.

1228
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And despite everything that Jeffree had

1229
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
said about James being a disgusting

1230
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
monster and how he had all these receipts.

1231
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
He was ready to expose him. By March of

1232
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
2020, he had done a full 180 and even

1233
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
left us a supported comment on one of

1234
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
James' post. I mean this is Jeffree Star

1235
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
we are talking about so it isn't that

1236
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
surprising. Jeffree Star, very lore heavy,

1237
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
evil man. Even then, Jeffree then posted

1238
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
a video title "Never Doing This Again"

1239
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and I know just from that title you are

1240
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
thinking, "What, what is he never going

1241
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to do again?" In this video he basically

1242
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
says, "Just because I said that I hate

1243
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
James Charles and I want him to die

1244
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
he's disgusting, doesn't mean I hate

1245
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
James Charles."

1246
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Because I said those things, that does

1247
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that not mean that I hate James Charles.

1248
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But my personal favorite part of this

1249
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
video is when he says there's no hate in

1250
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
this heart..

1251
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
There is no actual hate in this heart.

1252
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
He also says that he's not going to give

1253
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the people what they want.

1254
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
He's not going to come out with receipts

1255
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and cancel anyone today.

1256
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
They want me to open up my phone and

1257
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
expect me to expose it all.

1258
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
He basically says that he was being

1259
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
manipulated about James and being fed

1260
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
things that wasn't necessarily true.

1261
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
There are people telling me a lot of stuff

1262
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The video ends by him saying that he's

1263
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
done with the tea and he's done with the

1264
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
drama. He would then precede to have to

1265
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and the Tati and drama for the next like

1266
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
four years. And something important to

1267
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
note is that during this time, both

1268
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Jeffree and Shane Dodsan were pretty much

1269
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
PR nightmares and there was both trying

1270
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to like quickly clean up and do a little

1271
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
damage control and fans found resurfaced

1272
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
images and videos of them doing various

1273
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
problematic things. And, imagine that as

1274
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Jeffree Star's fans are demanding him to

1275
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
take accountability for some old

1276
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
problematic stuff. He decides it's time

1277
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to rewrite history a little bit when

1278
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
it comes to his loyalty to James Charles.

1279
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Meanwhile, Shane Dolsan was having a

1280
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
much harder time dealing with facing

1281
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
his actions, because the thing about Shane

1282
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Dolsan is that he crumbles. He crumbles

1283
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
under pressure. Meanwhile, Jeffree

1284
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Star, like I don't want to harm

1285
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
psychology him, but he like might actually

1286
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
be a psychopath. He is able to lie himself

1287
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
out of any situation. Just like that.

1288
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Easy, simple. But this guy having to face

1289
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the ramifications of let's see. Let's

1290
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
check our notes. Umm..

1291
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Black face. Racist characters.

1292
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Said the n-word. Said very various

1293
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
other slurs. Various instances of

1294
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
sexualizing minors and etc. There

1295
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
was so much backlash with this that

1296
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
YouTube temporarily demonatized Shane's

1297
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
channel, which is really funny because it

1298
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
all comes back to him not being able to

1299
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
handle the heat. Like Jeffree Star's

1300
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
channel, fine. What did Jeffree Star do?

1301
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
A lot. Pretty similar things actually, but

1302
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
he could take the heat and so imagine

1303
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
you are on your tenth Youtube apology

1304
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
pretty much and you have a bunch of

1305
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
dirty little bug bites al over your neck

1306
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
ok and you have scabies and you're

1307
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
salivating *hag

1308
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I am so sorry that I sexualized Will

1309
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Smith. Nobody gives a f***!

1310
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Shane Dolsan f******cry.

1311
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Shane Dolson, that is your mindset ok.

1312
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
You are going just a little bit loopy

1313
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
already and then June 30th, Tati drops

1314
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
a video called "Breaking My Silence".

1315
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And in this video, Tati says that she

1316
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
was coerced into making bisister by

1317
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Shane Dolsan and Jeffree Star.

1318
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I made it as a result of all of the

1319
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
poisonous lies that were fed to me by

1320
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Shane Dawson and Jeffree Star.

1321
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fuck! This is so Netflix short little

1322
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
special coded, limited series. There you

1323
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
go! That's the fucking word. So Tati says

1324
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that she's apologized to James Charles

1325
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and that they met up together in private

1326
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and compared screenshots that they have

1327
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
from both Jeffree and Shane

1328
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and come to the conclusion that this

1329
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
whole thing was a mass

1330
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
manipulation from both of them.

1331
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And according to Tati, she learned

1332
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that being friends with Jeffree Star

1333
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
is like being friends with a lion.

1334
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I learned that being friends with Jeffree

1335
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Star like being friends with a lion. He

1336
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
may have been dangerous but he was always

1337
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
really kind to me.

1338
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Mind you, anybody at any age can be

1339
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
manipulated. This is a very true.

1340
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
However, in my opinion, there is no way

1341
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that she's not at least partially

1342
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
responsible for some of this. And I can't

1343
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
stress this enough okay. Don't freak out.

1344
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Don't freak out. Every character in this

1345
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
story sucks. We have our main character,

1346
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
predator backing in oven. We got racist

1347
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
guy #1. We have a racist guy # 2 and at

1348
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
least, petty vitamin woman. So on this v

1349
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
video Tati makes a series of new claims,

1350
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
okay. So, first off, she says that when

1351
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
she met Jeffree Star, she knew he had a

1352
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
controversial past but that she took it

1353
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
among herself to try to make him a better

1354
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
person and that get him involved with her

1355
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
favorite charity, which did not work. She

1356
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
also claims to have known nothing about

1357
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Shane Dawson's past and that she

1358
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
did no research on him like all she knew

1359
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that he was the "most adored documentarian

1360
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
on YouTube".

1361
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I wish I had educated myself and I was

1362
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
aware of his earlier content.

1363
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
In my opinion, this truly doesn't add up

1364
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
because we are talking about Shane *gasp

1365
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Dawson. But anyways, she goes on to say

1366
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that Shane told her that he was making

1367
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
a documentary about the beauty community.

1368
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and that it is rapidly developing and

1369
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
rapidly changing due to new information

1370
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that Jeffree Star had collected on

1371
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
James Charles. She said it was Shane's

1372
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
idea to make bisister and even went as

1373
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
far as to offer to edit it for her.

1374
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And when Tati hesitated, he sent her

1375
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
a voice memo about an alleged victim of

1376
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
James.

1377
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It wasn't enough for me to contact the

1378
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
authorities. It was enough to scare me.

1379
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Jeffree and Shane claimed that as soon as

1380
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
she posted bisister, a plethora of

1381
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
victims were going to come forward.

1382
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But then they never did. Tati goes on

1383
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to theorize that Shane and Jeffree

1384
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
actually orchestrated this whole thing

1385
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
as a plot to destroy James because they

1386
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
were jealous of his career trajectory and

1387
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
they wanted as much attention as possible

1388
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
when they released their collaborative

1389
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
palette the "Conspiracy palette". She then

1390
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
gets super tin-foiled-atty at the end and

1391
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
says that she believes that there were

1392
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
many more players involved to

1393
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
orchestrate this whole thing, and that it

1394
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
is not a coincidence that after the whole

1395
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
fallout, Morphe came out with gummy

1396
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
vitamins.

1397
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I do not think it is a coincidence that

1398
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Morphe is about to launch their own

1399
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
brand of hair and nail gummy vitamins.

1400
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I have beef with every single one of

1401
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
these people. Like we can grab. I don't

1402
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
give a shit. But Tati, even though she is

1403
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
not the biggest villain here by far,

1404
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
really irks me because I feel like she

1405
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
acted completely out of selfishness.

1406
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I agree that it is plausible to have

1407
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
been manipulated by Shane ad Jeffree,

1408
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
like especially Jeffree. But if Tati

1409
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
truly, truly believed that the allegations

1410
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that Shane and Jeffree were telling her

1411
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
were real and that serious, why did she

1412
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
make the majority of bisister about gummy

1413
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
vitamins? Why did she falsely accuse him

1414
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
of sexually harassing waiter amongst other

1415
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
things. Conclusively, the entire video

1416
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
was based on somebody else's lies, but

1417
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
she double downed on it multiple times

1418
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
over the course of several months and

1419
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
holds virtually no accountability for

1420
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
causing the cultural switch against James,

1421
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
who at this point, she is saying is

1422
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
completely innocent. And like above all

1423
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
else, I think the biggest issue is the

1424
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
fact that she says that there's a voice

1425
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
memo that is damning enough

1426
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that warranted her going through

1427
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
with that public flogging, yet now

1428
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
she is saying wait! That wasn't real.

1429
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And the question you might be asking

1430
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
right now is what the fuck is in the

1431
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
voice memo? Well, it's currently 2024 and

1432
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
we still don't have the answer to that.

1433
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But there's been a ton of speculation

1434
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
as to who it is. A lot of people theorize

1435
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that it's Grace and Dolan since Jeffree

1436
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
made that claim about James molesting

1437
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
him in his sleep. People also think this

1438
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
because by the cultural shift back to

1439
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
liking James, the Dolan twins still

1440
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
haven't followed him back or even

1441
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
publicly spoke to him but I'm not saying

1442
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that I believe this. This is just a

1443
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
theory. I hope that's not true. With

1444
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Jeffree Star though, it is really hard to

1445
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
tell what is actually true and

1446
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
what's total bunk, because he seems to

1447
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
always merge partial truths with lies.

1448
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And so it's like okay, part of this

1449
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
could be true but that might not make the

1450
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
entire story have validity. But in the

1451
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
aftermath of the breaking my silence

1452
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
video, Shane Dawson gets on a Intagram

1453
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
live stream and starts like tweaking.

1454
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
This is insane! This is insane! This

1455
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
woman is like a fucking, omg!

1456
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
This entire live stream consists of him

1457
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
calling Tati a liar and running around

1458
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
his house like he just drank iced coffee

1459
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and he has to take a shit.

1460
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I can't, I can't. I don't want to say mean

1461
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
things about people. This is insane.

1462
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
This is insane.

1463
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It's actually hilarious because I love

1464
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
shaming Shane Dawson while he's down

1465
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and I would again. For legal purposes this

1466
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
is a joke, but I wish that we could

1467
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
collectively blast Shane Dawson into the

1468
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
sun. James Just responds to all this

1469
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
public freaking out that's just a tweet

1470
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that says "love you guys!"

1471
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
All this same day, Trisha

1472
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
also uploaded a video called "Tati's dumb

1473
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
as hell" which I only mentioning because

1474
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
it is so off the cuff and untethered.

1475
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And to summarize it in one clip:

1476
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
"I was beyond gaslit, no we are just

1477
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
stupid".

1478
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
In the following days, Morphe cut ties

1479
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
with Jeffree Star.

1480
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Morphe said they made the decision

1481
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to cease all commercial activity related

1482
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to Jeffree Star and related products

1483
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
within the coming in the coming weeks.

1484
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And in the April 20th, he would go on

1485
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
mom's basement podcast and reaffirm

1486
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to keep Team Star that James Charles

1487
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
is a monster and that he still has the

1488
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
voice memo of the alleged victim but

1489
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
doesn't want to publicly out them.

1490
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Yet 2 months later, on July 18th, 2020,

1491
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
he would release a video called "Doing

1492
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
what's right" and in this video Jeffree

1493
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
says a whole lot of f***** up.

1494
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
He's like "Hey guys, I am not going

1495
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
cancel anyone today. Sorry, I am not

1496
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
coming in with steaming hot tea today

1497
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
ya'll."

1498
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Today I will not be sitting her showing

1499
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
a million texts messages and all these

1500
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
things that allegedly are out there.

1501
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
He goes on to say that he's done with

1502
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
all the drama and that's there bigger

1503
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
things in the world to worry about and

1504
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I honestly forgot that this apology

1505
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
happened in 2020. So I was sent into a

1506
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
whole whiplash when I heard him

1507
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
say that we need to focus on Black Lives

1508
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Matter. Okay, back up. We are backing up.

1509
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Jeffree, first of all, you've made a lot

1510
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
of claims buddy, and now you are coming

1511
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
on your being like sorry, I am not

1512
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
involved in any of this drama, "Drama",

1513
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
when it is something supposedly serious.

1514
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And then you are deflecting the

1515
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
conversation on to Black Lives Matter?

1516
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
What? What? He literally uses murdered

1517
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
people of color to take the attention off

1518
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
of him, making claims that James is

1519
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
a predator.

1520
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Black trans men are being murdered

1521
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
every day and the news is silent.

1522
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Like, there are no words to describe this

1523
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
chat. Are they words to describe this?

1524
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Are there words for something so

1525
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
despicable? James is kind of like a

1526
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
predator and a danger to society. But

1527
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that's like drama though. It's kind of

1528
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
like "Hi, everybody. Welcome back to my

1529
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
channel". The Freudian Slip. Meanwhile,

1530
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
right after this whole Jeffree podcast

1531
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
debacle, James Charles goes on impulsive

1532
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
which is even Jake Paul's or Logan Paul's

1533
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Podcast. I don't know because I use their

1534
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
names interchangeably and I don't know

1535
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
who's who but this podcast seems chill

1536
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and it seems inconsequential at first.

1537
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But then James starts dropping bombs

1538
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
left and right, like let me show you some

1539
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
bullet points of what this man publicly

1540
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
admits. A little over an hour into

1541
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the interview, James claims that he is

1542
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
far more mature than other people his age.

1543
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
By the way, he's currently 21 in this

1544
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
interview. Then he then goes on to say

1545
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that he's just not attracted to older

1546
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
men and the absolute lowest that he would

1547
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
date was either 18 or 19 but looks a

1548
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
little bit older and he says the absolute

1549
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
lowest that he would date

1550
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The absolute youngest, like 18, 19, that

1551
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
looks a little bit older.

1552
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
This is already more than a little

1553
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
questionable, like what is the point of

1554
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
dating somebody who is 18 or 19 but

1555
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
looks a little bit older. What is the

1556
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
point of them being 18 and you just

1557
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
said that you are more mature than

1558
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
everyone else your age. So, why do you

1559
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
want to date somebody more immature.

1560
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But as if that wasn't bad enough, a few

1561
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
minutes later he goes on to say something

1562
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
even weirder. He says that he tried to

1563
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
fly boys out to LA because a lot

1564
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
of them don't have any money or they

1565
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
are still in high school or I mean a

1566
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
senior in high school.

1567
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Because you can't afford a plane ticket,

1568
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
you are probably still in either in high

1569
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
school or still in college, a senior in

1570
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
high school or in college.

1571
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Oh, so you really said that. Hmmm, and

1572
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
who makes mistakes like that.

1573
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
There's Madeline here who. Who makes

1574
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that kind of mistake and it's a probably

1575
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
a minor. Admitting to outsourcing

1576
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
teenagers from other states at the age

1577
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
of 21 is crazy. And they didn't even have

1578
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to waterboard that out of him.

1579
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
By the way, might I mention that nobody

1580
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
had a negative response to this? Like

1581
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the boys on this podcast are just like

1582
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Oh, yeah! Totally! Maybe they just felt

1583
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
awkward or wanted to keep the peace. Like

1584
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
didn't know what to say. But damn, if that

1585
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
was me, I would have a visceral,

1586
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
uncontrollable reaction like what? And

1587
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
not to be to be grossed ok. But like

1588
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
these bold boys that he's outsourcing are

1589
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
are literally the same age as his little

1590
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
brother. Like does he see his brother

1591
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
as in an equal when it comes to maturity

1592
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and growth. Oh yeah, and last question.

1593
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Have you seen every person on Earth

1594
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that is your same age or a little bit

1595
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
older than you. Have you? How have you

1596
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
already determined that you're not

1597
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
attracted to people older than you.

1598
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
There's people that older than all of

1599
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
us that just look youthful. So what is it

1600
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
really about, James? The last thing I

1601
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
want to say about this interview, because

1602
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I can honestly talk about it forever, is

1603
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that he also claims that he wouldn't date

1604
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
a fan in it.

1605
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
You wouldn't date a fan?

1606
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
No.

1607
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Just remember that ok?

1608
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
On September 1, 2020, James would do a

1609
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
collab with Emma Chamberlain, and this was

1610
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the first time that these two would

1611
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
reunite since before dramageddon. In an

1612
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
interview with the paparazzi, Emma also

1613
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
said that her and James weren't in a

1614
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
really good place. But when asked about

1615
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the Dolan twins, she basically says

1616
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
"Don't hold your breath".

1617
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
With the Dolan twins that if

1618
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
everybody can get on the same page?

1619
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
No promises.

1620
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
On September 16, 2020, James would have a

1621
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
mini controversy over some allegedly

1622
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
stolen designs. Now as you can see here,

1623
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
this is a color block, Sister's merch

1624
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
hoodie, okay. And now let's compare it

1625
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to a hoodie that was originally designed

1626
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
by Teddy Fresh, a.k.a. H Threes brand.

1627
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Well obviously, James' says Sister on the

1628
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
front and this one just has like a red

1629
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
square that says the fresh.

1630
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The sweater is the exact color grading.

1631
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Like it's the exact same shades and the

1632
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
exact same spots. And when James was

1633
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
confronted about this, he said he had

1634
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
never heard of their brand before. Despite

1635
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the fact that people were quick to point

1636
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
out that one of James' best friends, Lorai

1637
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
had pictures in that exact Teddy Fresh

1638
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
hoodie on his Instagram and was even

1639
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
featured on the Teddy Fresh Instagram

1640
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
page. And like, obviously, no one owns

1641
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
colors. But the fact that they were the

1642
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
exact same shades and the same areas.

1643
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It's just a suspicious set of lace.

1644
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Also, just generally speaking, James'

1645
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
hoodie is just really ugly.

1646
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
In October, James got his very own

1647
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
YouTube original show called Instant

1648
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Influencer and it was a competition where

1649
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
amateur influencers competed for

1650
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
a $10,000 video setup, a collab with

1651
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
James Charles, and $50,000 cash.

1652
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And the sheriff evolved around doing

1653
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
different challenges. One very noteworthy

1654
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
one is in episode where they do an

1655
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
apology video challenge.

1656
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I just really want to apologize and I

1657
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
want to change. *Sob Sob

1658
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Just, just terribly ironic and if I

1659
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
can be completely honest with you guys

1660
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
right now. If I had just one teeny James

1661
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Charles wish on a star. It would be that

1662
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Instant Influencer could come back but

1663
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
obviously with a different host, because

1664
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
this show is actually good. Like

1665
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
literally, YouTube, can we get somebody

1666
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
else, literally anybody else to host the

1667
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
show. I've throw a shower. Let's go!

1668
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Of course, I already spoiled this for you

1669
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
but the show does not exist anymore.

1670
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And I'm sure you already guessed why.

1671
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
In February of 2021, a minor came forward

1672
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and alleged that James asked him for

1673
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
totally explicit photos and videos over

1674
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Snapchat. The minor questioned, posted a

1675
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Tik Tok where he explained that he had

1676
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
previously dmed James because he was a

1677
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
fan.

1678
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Prove it to you right now. This is the

1679
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
notification that I got when he snapchated

1680
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
me first and this is further proof that

1681
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
he deleted the chat in a way to deleted.

1682
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
That's totally in his Snapchat.

1683
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And so he began sending snaps back and

1684
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
forth and one day, James saw that he was

1685
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
in the bathroom, so he began making the

1686
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
conversation very sexual.

1687
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So, he started making the conversation

1688
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
very and sexual and really got

1689
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
uncomfortable.

1690
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Saying disgusting things like "Take a

1691
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
video of yourself in the shower" and "Can

1692
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I see your muscles and hair". He then

1693
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
began sending nudes of himself, which

1694
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I cannot show you, but I tell you why

1695
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
this. It is very clearly James Charles'

1696
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
musty BBL booty. Once he sent these nudes,

1697
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the victim told him that he was only 16,

1698
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to which James allegedly replied, "Oh,

1699
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
but I haven't seen your dick yet". Then

1700
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
after saying he didn't want to send nudes

1701
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
James kept hounding him for them anyways.

1702
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Like, for example, in this screenshot here

1703
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
he says, "It would literally take you 30

1704
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
seconds to take a pic like this, awww".

1705
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
James would later claim that the boy

1706
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
told him that he was 18. In a Notes app

1707
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
response on Twitter. And until the art in

1708
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
lame Twitter notes app thing is that James

1709
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
said that the boy messaged him excitedly,

1710
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
telling him he loved him. And so, he began

1711
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
talking to him without asking for ID.

1712
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And I find this really interesting

1713
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
because he just said on the impulsive

1714
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Podcast that he did not want to date a

1715
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
fan, but in conclusion he says, "I will

1716
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
know be asking everybody for IDs. The

1717
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
fact that he's like, I'm still going to

1718
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
DM questionably young people but I am

1719
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
still going to be asking for IDs now is

1720
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
crazy. Also, even if they are 18, like I

1721
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
said, seeking out a barely legal

1722
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
18-year-old is creepy. Jeebs!

1723
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
How does it make it ok? This is still

1724
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
your teenage 18. That's a teenager fan.

1725
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Also in February, yet another underage

1726
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
fan came forward. This time it was a

1727
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
14-year-old and he also said that James

1728
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
sent him unsolicited nudes and

1729
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
inappropriate videos of himself. This boy

1730
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
alleges that he reached out to James

1731
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Charles on a dare, not expecting James

1732
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to answer of course, but when he did,

1733
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
he got very excited. Of course, this is

1734
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
a famous person so, he wants to talk to

1735
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
him. James then added him on Snapchat.

1736
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Are you seeing a pattern?

1737
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Are you seeing this? He claims that James

1738
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
kept pressuring him to come out to LA

1739
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and that he was also trying to get him

1740
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to question his sexuality. And remember

1741
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that Impulsive Interview?

1742
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Even they confess that they can't afford

1743
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
a plane ticket. It's like ok but I can.

1744
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So, get on the plane.

1745
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Wow, this alleged victim literally thought

1746
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that he was speaking about him in that

1747
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
segment. Also, big shout out to Paige

1748
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Christie. I was literally only able to

1749
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
find this information from her video. Like

1750
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
so much of this has been just like

1751
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
scrubbed from the internet, like Big

1752
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Sister is like watching. Trisha Paytas

99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
replied to this whole situation saying

1754
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
like: "I'll say without a shadow of a

1755
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
doubt. James Charles in the only creator

1756
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that deserves to be banned and stripped

1757
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
from all social platform. He's abusing by

1758
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
sexting with minors!!! Repeated behavior

1759
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
happening as recent as a few days ago.

1760
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
This is an actual predator/pedophile.

1761
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I have to say I'm completely agree

1762
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and I don't know if he's the only one,

1763
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But I do completely agree that he should

1764
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
not be on Tik Tok or YouTube or Instagram.

1765
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Like, and it just gets worse. On April 1,

1766
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
James would upload "Holding myself

1767
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
accountable in response to all of these

1768
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
allegations". Yes, it's true he posted a

1769
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
response to grooming allegations on April

1770
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
1st. Now this video makes me mad from

1771
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
beginning to end. He basically says he

1772
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
trusted the information that was given

1773
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to him rather than the info that he

1774
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
could've or should've gotten himself.

1775
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And yeah, that's true, but I feel like

1776
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
he's immediately deflecting from the

1777
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
fact that even what you thought you were

1778
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
doing is wrong. James then goes on to

1779
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
list being desperate for the reason for

1780
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
why he makes all these dating faux paus.

1781
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And it is ridiculously embarrassing to

1782
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
admit this but I'm desperate.

1783
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And then he starts bracingly lying like

1784
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
outright like a dog, lying. He says that I

1785
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
will partially quote so that I don't have

1786
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to play like a long clip and get

1787
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
copyrighted or something. It's really

1788
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
looking like I'm an actively searching for

1789
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
younger people to be in a relationship

1790
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
with and that's absolutely not the case.

1791
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
My hope is that it always been in

1792
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
a relationship with somebody around my

1793
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
age or older.

1794
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Hey, wait a minute! Isn't this the exact

1795
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
opposite thing of what you said earlier

1796
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
this year.

1797
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I'm not physically attracted to older

1798
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
guys which sucks.

1799
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
He concludes the video with a detailed

1800
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
description of how he came to the

1801
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
realization that him talking to fans

1802
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
created a power imbalance and that from

1803
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the get go he should of never had these

1804
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
conversations to begin with because he

1805
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
ignored red flags. Wave the red flags is

1806
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
IOU. I have to saw is while this apology

1807
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
video is definitely not is well received

1808
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and we will talk about it in a second.

1809
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
He is pretty clever. I will say that.

1810
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
His use of language really disassociates

1811
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
himself with the facts of everything. He

1812
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
says, for example.

1813
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And for that, for the example, so, so

1814
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
sorry.

1815
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Okay, these are kids and these are not

1816
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
just victims, they're your victims.

1817
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Ironically, holding myself accountable

1818
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
would later be deleted. Later that month,

1819
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Morphee would release a statement saying

1820
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that they are permanently cutting ties

1821
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
with James. But in the eyes of a lot of

1822
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
fans, this was too little too late.

1823
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
In light of the recent allegations against

1824
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
James Charles, Morphee and James

1825
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
have agreed to leave and our business

1826
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
relationship and wine down sales of the

1827
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Morphe x James Charles product offering.

1828
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It is and has always been Morphe's goal

1829
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to create a positive, safe and

1830
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
empowering space for all beauty lovers can

1831
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
freely share their artistry and passion

1832
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
for cosmetics. And Morphe is fully

1833
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
committed in furthering that goal. I don't

1834
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
know too much about PR but fuck all

1835
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
if that wasn't really bad. First of all,

1836
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
waited weeks to say anything and

1837
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
when they finally did, they were

1838
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
like we and James have decided to scale

1839
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
back. Like, what do you mean we? Fans

1840
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
were also quick to point out that all the

1841
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
James Charles products were still being

1842
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
sold at full price on their website. This

1843
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
same week, YouTube announced that they

1844
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
would be temporarily demonetizing James'

1845
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
channel and as a result of all this, James

1846
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
took a four month break off of social

1847
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
media. When he returned he posted a

1848
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
selfie on Instagram and announced that he

1849
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
just posted a video called "An Open

1850
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Conversation" and I will say that this is

1851
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
incredible on brand the worst way. Now the

1852
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
comments on "An Open Conversation" are

1853
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
so funny and this is this is the first

1854
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
time that I have truly felt and notice

1855
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that there were so many people just done

1856
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
with him. Like this video only has six

1857
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
million views and I know that that's a

1858
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
lot still, but in comparison to other

1859
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
videos, even such as taking accountability

1860
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
there was a huge dip in viewership. And

1861
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
these people made the right call for

1862
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
obvious reasons, and were also

1863
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
fortunate enough to not bear witness to

1864
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
this video turning into a makeup get ready

1865
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
with me at the 4 minute mark.

1866
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
An you guys know I posted my

1867
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
"Holding Myself Accountable" video.

1868
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Absolutely dystopian fear. Getting sued!

1869
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
In the following month of May, a former

1870
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
employee of James, named Kelly Rocklein

1871
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
sued James for wrongful termination.

1872
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And, let me just read you one of these

1873
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
headlines so you can get the full gravity

1874
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
of this situation.

1875
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
James Charles' ex-employee speaks out

1876
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
about lawsuit, claiming he didn't pay

1877
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
overtime and asked her to shave his

1878
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
butt. Ummmmm.

1879
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
To get into the nitty gritty, the

1880
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
specifics of the suit though, she

1881
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
alleges that one, James had her working

1882
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
12-hour days, seven days a week. Two,

1883
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that when she was promoted from video

1884
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
editor to producer, he didn't hire

1885
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
anybody to take over the former

1886
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
position, so she was left doing both.

1887
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Three, she was not paid overtime for

1888
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
any of this, and four, that she had

1889
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
suffered a head injury in front of James

1890
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Charles. To quote this business insider

1891
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
article directly, the head injury resulted

1892
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
in her experiencing headaches,

1893
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
temporarily loss of consciousness,

1894
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
confusion, amnesia and other ailments,

1895
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
according to the complaint. She alleges

1896
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Charles was not sympathetic to her

1897
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
recovery needs and callously accused her

1898
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
of not being dedicated to her job as a

1899
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
result of her work being delayed when

1900
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
she was hospitalized. And right after

1901
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Kelly returned from being hospitalized,

1902
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
she was fired, despite never having

1903
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
received negative feedback. Kelly also

1904
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
alleges that James used the n-word in

1905
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
front of her with the R & R and everything

1906
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
More on the ass situation, Kelly says

1907
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that James walked around the house naked

1908
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and call her names like "bitch" and once

1909
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
texted her, "Kelly, I need help shaving

1910
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
my butt in preparation for a revealing

1911
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Coachella outfit. James ha since publicly

1912
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
denied all of this in a lengthy Twitter

1913
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
video.

1914
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Just the craziest claims you can ever

1915
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
imagine.

1916
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But the suit is still ongoing.

1917
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Although, I will say I can totally see him

1918
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
doing all these things. Kelly, get behind

1919
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
me. 2022 was a relatively quiet year for

1920
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
this MF. Like, his only controversy was

1921
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
talking on Instagram and twerking while

1922
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
talked which resulted in him losing

1923
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
130,000 followers in a day and I won't

1924
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
show you that video here because you don't

1925
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
deserve that. Everybody say "Thank you

1926
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Nikki!" And by the way, if you didn't

1927
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
unfollow him for the groping but you did

1928
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
for the talking and the twerking, I don't

1929
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
know. It might be time for me to take

1930
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
you out behind the barn and shoot you.

1931
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Since May 6, 2023, Morphe would end up

1932
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
closing all of it's stores and this was a

1933
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
crazy thing to happen for anybody who was

1934
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
really into makeup in 2019 and 2020.

1935
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Like, it was a very popular store to the

1936
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
point where it was valued at $2 billion at

1937
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
it's peak, but the company had made the

1938
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
unfortunate decision of fully investing

1939
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
into James Charles and Jeffree Starr to

1940
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
be the focal point of their stores,

1941
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
especially James, like seriously I did not

1942
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
know what the hell Morphe was before his

1943
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
palette. The brand name had kind of become

1944
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
synonymous with James, like he was their

1945
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
most successful product. In other words,

1946
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
James Charles is virtually the reason why

1947
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Morphe died. Like, that is very crazy to

1948
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
think about. Bro brought down an entire

1949
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
industry. On July 13, 2023, Cosmopolitan

1950
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
published an article about James titled

1951
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
"James Charles would like to be

1952
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
uncancelled, please". This article, quite

1953
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
frankly, is a blasphemous peace of trash.

1954
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Honestly, the woman who wrote it,

1955
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Gabrielle Bluestone should have to serve

1956
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
public service for 6 months, just for

1957
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
writing this shit, because it is so foul

1958
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
you need to picking things up on the

1959
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
highway. Get out of here. Let me just

1960
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
read you a direct quote from here.

1961
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It's no surprise that a star's willingness

1962
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to answer any intimate questions about a

1963
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
catastrophic stretch of their lives,

1964
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
including pieces dramatically when they

1965
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
have a project to promote. In today's

1966
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
case, that is ostensibly Charles' new

1967
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
makeup line "Painted". But it's also

1968
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Charles himself. This very interview is to

1969
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
be a triplum. It's reception, the answer

1970
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to the question both of us and maybe

1971
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
you, too. If what auto-populates in

1972
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Google search can be believed, are here to

1973
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
ask, "Is James Charles still cancelled?"

1974
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So, that alone, basically self-diagnoses

1975
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
itself that it purely exists for James to

1976
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
win over public brownie points, so that

1977
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
his new makeup line can do better.

1978
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Bluestone also writes, "When I pulled

1979
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
friends and colleagues about Charles in

1980
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the run-up to this state, the general

1981
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
consensus was that he had done

1982
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
something bad, but no one was clear on

1983
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
exactly what. This to me feels like her

1984
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
claiming that these random civilians in

1985
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
her office not knowing what James Charles

1986
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
did is evidence that he hasn't done

1987
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
anything that serious or at least less

1988
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
serious than people are making it out to

1989
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
be. Would is a real logical hootenanny,

1990
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I tell you that. The article then goes on

1991
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to say the wildest like, like...

1992
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
My cat's looking at me. He's more cautious

1993
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
now, although not so much that he's giving

1994
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
up on the DM sliding completely. Instead,

1995
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
he started requiring potential romantic

1996
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
interests to provide ids before he'll

1997
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
engage. I'm a club bouncer at this point,

1998
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
he says, which even still hasn't stopped

1999
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the occasional breach of trust.

2000
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Earlier this year, a TikTok user shared

2001
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
snippets of a flirtatious conversation he

2002
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
had with Charles and which outlines his

2003
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
requirements for a boyfriend. Charles

2004
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
also tells me he recently caught a

2005
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
17-year-old trying to lie about his age by

2006
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
taking out a digit on his ID. And when she

2007
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
asked James why, he wouldn't just use a

2008
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
regular dating app to find a partner, he

2009
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
basically says that he feels to exposed

2010
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
on apps and that anybody can take a screen

2011
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
shot of his profile and brag and tell

2012
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
their friends about it. Ummm and ahhh,

2013
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
but ummm, I don't know how to say this

2014
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
nicely so, Are you stupid? How is talking

2015
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to people on social media any less risky

2016
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
than using a dating app. The article just

2017
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
got done saying that somebody leaked a

2018
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
private DM on to the internet that was

2019
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
from Instagram. It wasn't from a dating

2020
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
app. It's also from a dating app you can

2021
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
instantly verify like somebody's age. You

2022
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
can investigate whether or not there are

2023
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
catfish. You can investigate their social

2024
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
media, if they have a link to the profile.

2025
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And so, at this point, I really have no

2026
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
choice to assume that this isn't just

2027
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
stupidity. It's malicious. Because you

2028
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
know who's not on dating apps? Minors!

2029
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
In September of 2023, James was seen

2030
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
asking for a 17-year-old's age on a

2031
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
TikTok live stream. And I mean, do I even

2032
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
have to say anything? This is a direct

2033
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
result of the same repeated behavior over

2034
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and over again. I found this clip from

2035
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Frenemies of all places that kind of

2036
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
perfectly summarizes how I feel about

2037
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
this.

2038
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Because you know what? These people

2039
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
who are sick like this? They keep doing

2040
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
it, but sick people can't help themselves

2041
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
but do it again.

2042
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
A normal person would have stopped. A

2043
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
predator cannot help themselves.

2044
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
In January of 2024, another boy would

2045
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
come forward with claims that James had

2046
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
talked to him inappropriately while he was

2047
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
a minor, and this boy actually has a

2048
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
screen shot of James sliding in his DMs

2049
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and saying "Age Check!".

2050
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
He dmmed me that and I responded and I

2051
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
said, " I am a very mature 16."

2052
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And, something that made me very sad

2053
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
about this TikTok, where he talks about

2054
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
all the inappropriate conversations that

2055
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
they had was that had he says "I know

2056
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I shouldn't have been talking to him like

2057
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that. I know I had no business ta
