00:00:01.790 --> 00:00:05.111
James Charles, a name so chilling
00:00:05.111 --> 00:00:07.259
that it requires a trigger warning.
00:00:07.259 --> 00:00:09.011
Trigger warning: James Charles.
00:00:09.011 --> 00:00:11.247
You can say a lot of things about
James Charles.
00:00:11.247 --> 00:00:12.411
Most of them are bad.
00:00:12.411 --> 00:00:13.943
Like, really bad.
00:00:13.943 --> 00:00:17.097
But objectively, he is one of the most
well-known
00:00:17.097 --> 00:00:19.742
influencers from the last 10 years.
00:00:19.742 --> 00:00:21.912
And because of how much exposure
00:00:21.912 --> 00:00:25.763
and business success he saw
over the years,
00:00:25.763 --> 00:00:30.643
James Charles is truly somebody who
could have had it all
00:00:30.643 --> 00:00:34.169
if only he wasn't a piece of shit.
00:00:34.169 --> 00:00:38.048
If you're watching this video, odds are
you've heard of James,
00:00:38.048 --> 00:00:40.948
or you've at least heard of his infamy.
00:00:40.948 --> 00:00:45.318
You may have had the petrifying
experience
00:00:45.318 --> 00:00:47.078
of seeing his BBL or hearing him say
00:00:47.078 --> 00:00:49.428
"Hi sisters!"
00:00:49.428 --> 00:00:52.560
This guy's digital footprint has
some of the funniest
00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:55.527
and grossest shit I have ever seen.
00:00:55.527 --> 00:01:00.145
Because as we'll get into, he is a massive
creepo, freako,
00:01:00.145 --> 00:01:00.974
womp womp.
00:01:00.974 --> 00:01:04.354
It is quite a tale.
00:01:04.354 --> 00:01:08.949
So allow me to take you on an Unhinged
James Charles Deepdive.
NOTE Paragraph
00:01:19.157 --> 00:01:22.737
James Charles (or James Charles
Dickinson)
00:01:22.737 --> 00:01:27.744
was born on May 3rd, 1999 in Bethlehem,
New York.
00:01:27.744 --> 00:01:31.639
And he is Emily Dickinson's third cousin
twice removed -
00:01:31.639 --> 00:01:34.400
ignore that, it was a lie, I just lied.
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:37.380
In 2010, at the age of 11, he started his
00:01:37.380 --> 00:01:40.457
very first YouTube channel called
JaysCoding.
00:01:40.457 --> 00:01:44.530
This channel mostly consisted of him
covering songs like
00:01:44.530 --> 00:01:46.124
"Pumped Up Kicks".
00:01:46.124 --> 00:01:49.931
♫ "You better run, better run
faster than my bullet." ♫
00:01:49.931 --> 00:01:52.031
"Before He Cheats" by Carrie Underwood.
00:01:52.031 --> 00:01:55.565
♫ "Carved my name
into his leather seats." ♫
00:01:55.565 --> 00:01:58.813
But most notably, this
"It Will Rain" cover
00:01:58.813 --> 00:02:00.739
where he's wearing this wolf hat.
00:02:00.739 --> 00:02:03.482
♫ "- morphine at my door." ♫
00:02:03.482 --> 00:02:05.826
And although these childhood videos are
wholesome,
00:02:05.826 --> 00:02:08.873
this would be the start
of a very troubling
00:02:08.873 --> 00:02:11.247
pattern of him
singing unprompted.
00:02:12.807 --> 00:02:16.129
Although my personal favorite video
that I found on JaysCoding
00:02:16.129 --> 00:02:21.186
was this six-second upload of just
a image of an eye.
00:02:21.186 --> 00:02:24.361
Like, bro really uploaded an
image to YouTube,
00:02:24.361 --> 00:02:26.685
and that is so of the time.
00:02:26.685 --> 00:02:31.023
But in 2015, he would launch his second
and main channel
00:02:31.023 --> 00:02:33.997
that we know today as James Charles.
00:02:33.997 --> 00:02:37.456
And this is where he started uploading
makeup tutorials, such as
00:02:37.456 --> 00:02:43.180
serpent makeup tutorial and
Snapchat Galaxy makeup tutorial.
00:02:43.180 --> 00:02:48.040
And as you can see, none of these look
particularly good.
00:02:48.040 --> 00:02:51.226
In fact, they're pretty bad,
but I assure you
00:02:51.226 --> 00:02:54.977
everyone's makeup looked
really bad in 2015,
00:02:54.977 --> 00:02:57.582
so that really means nothing I guess.
00:02:57.582 --> 00:03:02.248
But he was gaining a really decent
audience from posting these tutorials.
00:03:02.248 --> 00:03:06.773
But the inciting incident, the
catalyst that would launch
00:03:06.773 --> 00:03:11.778
James Charles' career, happened in
September of 2016.
00:03:11.778 --> 00:03:18.199
And this moment would have irreversible
repercussions on society and the Internet.
NOTE Paragraph
00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:20.621
James was 17 years old at this point,
00:03:20.621 --> 00:03:23.763
and he had just taken his senior photos,
00:03:23.763 --> 00:03:26.669
which came out fugly according to him.
00:03:26.669 --> 00:03:30.189
And so he hired the school
photographer to come back
00:03:30.189 --> 00:03:33.517
and let him retake the pictures
with his ring light.
00:03:33.517 --> 00:03:37.824
And as you can see here, his highlight is
definitely going off,
00:03:37.824 --> 00:03:41.412
his brows have a good
Roblox look to them.
00:03:41.412 --> 00:03:45.080
However, where I draw the line is
that man bun.
00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:46.850
What the f**k?
00:03:46.850 --> 00:03:49.360
Anyways, his friend convinces
him to post these
00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:55.272
new glamorous pictures online
and they go extremely viral.
00:03:55.272 --> 00:03:58.162
Like, this picture of James
was being shared
00:03:58.162 --> 00:04:02.038
so much that CoverGirl noticed it.
00:04:02.038 --> 00:04:06.319
And that is how he became the world's
first male CoverGirl.
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:11.636
Now because this was 2016, it stirred
controversy amongst conservatives.
00:04:11.636 --> 00:04:13.625
And, you know, of course it did
00:04:13.625 --> 00:04:17.444
because it's CoverGirl, not "CoverDong".
00:04:17.444 --> 00:04:20.349
Seriously, though, I found this
old Twitter thread
00:04:20.349 --> 00:04:24.031
where people are just bitching about this
like there's no tomorrow.
00:04:24.031 --> 00:04:26.156
A great example is this one:
00:04:26.156 --> 00:04:36.954
reads tweet.
00:04:36.954 --> 00:04:39.412
There's also this one where
a woman compares
00:04:39.412 --> 00:04:44.255
James being on CoverGirl to a white
person doing blackface.
00:04:44.255 --> 00:04:46.818
Um... Nurse, she's out again!
00:04:46.818 --> 00:04:50.678
Anyways, outisde of these randos making
a stink out of it,
00:04:50.678 --> 00:04:53.297
this opened up a lot of opportunities
00:04:53.297 --> 00:04:54.303
for James.
00:04:54.303 --> 00:04:58.653
I mean, he went on Ellen, I guess that's
not that impressive, though.
00:04:58.653 --> 00:05:02.713
As I mentioned in the Jojo Siwa video, you
could literally fart into a bucket
00:05:02.713 --> 00:05:05.750
and somehow make it on Ellen at this
point in time.
00:05:05.750 --> 00:05:08.827
And as his fame was escalating,
00:05:08.827 --> 00:05:11.594
he did his first-ever fan meet.
00:05:11.594 --> 00:05:14.724
Only 50 people showed up to this event,
00:05:14.724 --> 00:05:16.730
and one of the videos that was taken there
00:05:16.730 --> 00:05:19.343
was turned into a meme because at
00:05:19.343 --> 00:05:24.958
some point James just sat down on the
ground and started singing.
00:05:24.958 --> 00:05:33.437
♫ Bring me a little water now!
Bring me little water, Sylvie!♫
00:05:33.437 --> 00:05:37.009
I don't know what my favorite part about
this meme is. It might be
00:05:37.009 --> 00:05:40.003
the Snapchat caption that says "f**k it up"
00:05:40.003 --> 00:05:43.797
which insinuates that he's doing a good
job singing right now.
00:05:43.797 --> 00:05:45.739
Or it could be the fact that he raises
00:05:45.739 --> 00:05:49.104
his finger up as if he's hitting those
high notes.
00:05:49.104 --> 00:05:51.405
This was, of course, the very first time
00:05:51.405 --> 00:05:53.244
that he was turned into a meme,
00:05:53.244 --> 00:05:56.244
but it's certainly would not be the last.
NOTE Paragraph
00:05:56.244 --> 00:06:01.342
This same year, James did a CoverGirl
promotion with Zendaya,
00:06:01.342 --> 00:06:05.673
and oh my God, this has gotta be
00:06:05.673 --> 00:06:10.386
one of the most unintentionally funny
videos I've ever seen.
00:06:10.386 --> 00:06:13.554
So this video that they're doing is a
challenge to see what makeup
00:06:13.554 --> 00:06:16.575
looks they could come up with in the
span of 5 minutes.
00:06:16.575 --> 00:06:20.662
And so they're both in a rush and trying
to showcase these CoverGirl
00:06:20.662 --> 00:06:22.274
products along the way.
00:06:22.274 --> 00:06:27.935
And about 30 seconds in, James gets
befuddled and just starts
00:06:27.935 --> 00:06:30.452
copying Zendaya and then acts like
00:06:30.452 --> 00:06:33.158
everything he's doing was his idea.
00:06:33.158 --> 00:06:35.629
- "I used it on my inner corner."
- "Same."
00:06:35.629 --> 00:06:36.441
(Huh??)
00:06:36.441 --> 00:06:39.157
- "I used this as a base for the blue."
- "Yeah, same."
00:06:39.157 --> 00:06:42.528
And not only this,
the end result is so bad,
00:06:42.528 --> 00:06:45.477
she absolutely ate him up, I can't
believe this video exists.
00:06:45.477 --> 00:06:48.361
These two people should not exist in the
same universe.
00:06:48.361 --> 00:06:51.612
James would soon also start doing collabs
00:06:51.612 --> 00:06:56.471
with massive YouTubers like Tana Mongeau,
Joey Graceffa, and even
00:06:56.471 --> 00:06:58.783
non-YouTubers like Maddie Ziegler.
00:06:58.783 --> 00:07:01.356
However, he would soon find himself in his
00:07:01.356 --> 00:07:06.829
very first controversy, and that is the
"Ebola" tweet.
00:07:06.829 --> 00:07:09.913
On Febuary 16, 2017, James writes:
00:07:09.913 --> 00:07:20.516
reads tweet.
00:07:20.516 --> 00:07:23.277
So obviously this is very out of touch
00:07:23.277 --> 00:07:28.061
and just kind of assumes that Africa is
like a diseased-riddled area,
00:07:28.061 --> 00:07:31.092
and so people were not happy about this.
00:07:31.092 --> 00:07:35.603
And so the very same day he
did his first public apology ever.
00:07:35.603 --> 00:07:36.716
He wrote:
00:07:36.716 --> 00:07:44.279
reads tweet.
00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:48.909
And people definitely still thought James
was racist for, like, a good month
00:07:48.909 --> 00:07:49.924
after this.
00:07:49.924 --> 00:07:53.091
But the discourse got completely
overshadowed by the events of
00:07:53.091 --> 00:07:59.576
March 5th, 2017, which was the birth of
Flashback Mary.
00:07:59.576 --> 00:08:05.877
So what happened was that
James was at an event
00:08:05.877 --> 00:08:10.902
and he had WAY too much
powder on his face,
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,
00:08:15.481 --> 00:08:18.819
like, ghostly, ghoulish, sinister
SCP look to him.
00:08:18.819 --> 00:08:22.960
And the internet was immediately
obsessed with this.
00:08:22.960 --> 00:08:26.620
Like, this is definitely one of the
biggest memes that has hit the Internet.
00:08:26.620 --> 00:08:29.135
Ask anyone, ask your grandma,
ask your
00:08:29.135 --> 00:08:31.421
local pastor, they know
Flashback Mary.
00:08:31.421 --> 00:08:35.255
The main comparison that was being made
to James was of this spider from-
00:08:35.255 --> 00:08:36.624
what is this show called?
00:08:36.624 --> 00:08:38.785
It's called Miss Spider's
Sunny Patch Friends.
00:08:38.785 --> 00:08:42.226
Like, I can't express to you
how many times
00:08:42.226 --> 00:08:44.066
I've seen this image against my will,
00:08:44.066 --> 00:08:46.743
I wish I could permaban it from my brain.
00:08:46.743 --> 00:08:51.895
Something a little disappointing about
this meme, though, is that the
00:08:51.895 --> 00:08:54.535
widespread image of Flashback
Mary is not the real one.
00:08:54.535 --> 00:08:59.597
This is the real one, and I will say, the
flashback is still really bad,
00:08:59.597 --> 00:09:03.982
but whoever edited this picture
just made it 70 times worse.
00:09:03.982 --> 00:09:08.607
An interesting artifact of the time that I
found was this Redbubble page
00:09:08.607 --> 00:09:15.748
that just exclusively sells Flashback Mary
furniture, such as clocks and pillows.
00:09:15.748 --> 00:09:19.987
I really don't understand Redbubble,
people will just sell
00:09:19.987 --> 00:09:22.217
tych-fck-ehchk-ANYTHING there.
NOTE Paragraph
00:09:22.217 --> 00:09:26.935
Anyways, though, speaking of James
Charles' foundation, he does not
00:09:26.935 --> 00:09:28.977
know how to match that shit.
00:09:28.977 --> 00:09:32.779
Like, there's entire compilations
of him doing just that.
00:09:32.779 --> 00:09:37.409
And in this video specifically, he
describes himself as having
00:09:37.409 --> 00:09:38.264
warm undertones.
00:09:38.264 --> 00:09:41.477
"GASP. That looks like it could be
such a good match for me,
00:09:41.477 --> 00:09:44.336
everyone is convinced that my skintone
is, like, not warm."
00:09:44.336 --> 00:09:46.888
Girl, you are PINK! You are PINK!
00:09:46.888 --> 00:09:49.893
I think the funniest part about all
of this, though, is that he
00:09:49.893 --> 00:09:54.888
literally has a YouTube video trying,
like, 40 different foundation shades, and
00:09:54.888 --> 00:09:59.169
in the end he still chooses the wrong one.
00:09:59.169 --> 00:10:04.211
Side note, though, another James
Charles-ism is that he chronically misuses
00:10:04.211 --> 00:10:08.283
Facetune, especially in this era.
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
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,
00:10:20.226 --> 00:10:26.496
I get uncanny valley, Russian
Sleep Experiment, creepypasta vibes.
NOTE Paragraph
00:10:26.496 --> 00:10:31.241
Moving on, though, we have the "It"
debacle of 2017.
00:10:31.241 --> 00:10:37.460
Now, the It debacle began on September
7th when James tweeted about
00:10:37.460 --> 00:10:40.751
how he was gonna go see It, and
how excited he was about it.
00:10:40.751 --> 00:10:45.188
But literally five minutes into the movie,
he started tweeting about how bad
00:10:45.188 --> 00:10:47.761
it was, which, of course, is just nutty
00:10:47.761 --> 00:10:49.808
because how have you already
decided that
00:10:49.808 --> 00:10:52.948
you don't like the movie, and it's only
been five minutes?
00:10:52.948 --> 00:10:56.016
And, like, why are you even on your phone?
00:10:56.016 --> 00:10:59.214
About thirty minutes later,
James tweets again,
00:10:59.214 --> 00:11:00.777
and this time, he says:
00:11:00.777 --> 00:11:11.423
reading tweet.
00:11:11.423 --> 00:11:15.262
Both of these tweets annoyed people for
obvious reasons.
00:11:15.262 --> 00:11:19.475
Like, he's just been texting the entire
movie.
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!
00:11:23.437 --> 00:11:27.366
And so in response to all the people
questioning why he's doing this,
00:11:27.366 --> 00:11:28.463
he writes:
00:11:28.463 --> 00:11:36.287
reads tweet.
00:11:36.287 --> 00:11:37.958
But then,
00:11:37.958 --> 00:11:40.932
Finn Wolfhard replies to one of these
tweets and says:
00:11:40.932 --> 00:11:45.322
reads tweet
00:11:45.322 --> 00:11:49.948
Granted, at this time, I think Finn was
12 or 13 maybe.
00:11:49.948 --> 00:11:51.026
And so James tweets:
00:11:51.026 --> 00:11:55.473
reads tweet.
00:11:55.473 --> 00:11:58.759
Which sounds like he's accepting the
end of this.
00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:02.686
Like, this should be the end of the
conversation.
00:12:02.686 --> 00:12:08.035
But instead, he starts backtracking times
3,000, and he says:
00:12:08.035 --> 00:12:15.582
reads tweet.
00:12:15.582 --> 00:12:20.239
For the next few hours, people on
Twitter would not leave him alone
00:12:20.239 --> 00:12:22.500
about why he was texting in the
movie theater.
00:12:22.500 --> 00:12:23.982
And so he eventually says:
00:12:23.982 --> 00:12:30.967
reads tweet.
00:12:30.967 --> 00:12:33.925
And this dug his grave in even more.
00:12:33.925 --> 00:12:37.988
Because people were like, "What do you
mean 'everyone does it,'
00:12:37.988 --> 00:12:40.081
like, everyone does not do that!"
00:12:40.081 --> 00:12:45.728
Personally, as an AMC Stubs member,
this pains me.
00:12:45.728 --> 00:12:47.785
Follow me on Letterboxd so I can
feel important.
00:12:47.785 --> 00:12:52.666
But this caused people to start doing
polls about whether or not people
00:12:52.666 --> 00:12:55.883
actually texted people during movies.
00:12:55.883 --> 00:13:00.858
And the results were, of course,
overwhelmingly NO.
00:13:00.858 --> 00:13:02.087
No they do not!
00:13:02.087 --> 00:13:05.941
And again, this should've been the end of
the conversation, but he just keeps
00:13:05.941 --> 00:13:11.728
acknowledging it, and he ends up filming
an apology video in the backseat
00:13:11.728 --> 00:13:13.066
of an Uber.
00:13:13.066 --> 00:13:15.486
(James talking:) "I want to personally
apologize to Finn and anybody else
00:13:15.486 --> 00:13:17.293
involved in the making of the movie It."
00:13:17.293 --> 00:13:21.529
And regardless of all of this, a couple
days later, he ended up doing an
00:13:21.529 --> 00:13:23.405
It makeup tutorial.
00:13:23.405 --> 00:13:26.300
(James doing a Pennywise voice:)
"Hiya, sisters! James Charles
00:13:26.300 --> 00:13:27.450
here, and welcome back to my
YouTube channel!"
00:13:27.450 --> 00:13:30.571
Which, by the way, the first six
seconds of this video
00:13:30.571 --> 00:13:35.075
changed my life for the worse, so I'm
gonna make you see this too.
00:13:35.075 --> 00:13:37.997
(dubstep, intense music)
00:13:37.997 --> 00:13:38.528
(scream sound effect)
00:13:38.528 --> 00:13:41.242
In 2018, the "Sister Squad formed
00:13:41.242 --> 00:13:44.247
And this was basically just of long
00:13:44.247 --> 00:13:46.888
squad of these four best friends that
00:13:46.888 --> 00:13:49.669
consisted of... I mentioned Ethan Dolan,
00:13:49.669 --> 00:13:52.018
Grayson Dolan, and of course
00:13:52.018 --> 00:13:56.039
James himself. Now Eathan Dolan / Grayson
00:13:56.039 --> 00:13:59.434
had a huge Youtube channel that they
00:13:59.434 --> 00:14:02.507
have been making videos on since 2014
00:14:02.507 --> 00:14:04.429
And James ended up meeting them in late
00:14:04.429 --> 00:14:07.772
2017 after he left he left a bunch of very
00:14:07.772 --> 00:14:10.371
Questionably, thirsty Tweets on both of
00:14:10.371 --> 00:14:12.434
Their Instagrams. These includes comments
00:14:12.434 --> 00:14:15.700
Such as "Run me over with that
00:14:15.700 --> 00:14:17.387
Motorcycle, daddy". "Choke me with that
00:14:17.387 --> 00:14:19.532
Seatbelt, daddy".
00:14:19.532 --> 00:14:21.636
And last but not least, " Hit me with that
00:14:21.636 --> 00:14:22.824
Stick, daddy".
00:14:22.824 --> 00:14:26.485
On June 9, 2018, the first ever "Sister
00:14:26.485 --> 00:14:28.913
Squad" video was posted and this
00:14:28.913 --> 00:14:31.803
Had a cultural impact like no other
00:14:31.803 --> 00:14:34.089
Squad at the time. I don't care what
00:14:34.089 --> 00:14:36.480
Anyone says. This is the truth.
00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:38.339
The "Sister Squad" was such an
00:14:38.339 --> 00:14:40.652
Immediate success and all their videos
00:14:40.652 --> 00:14:43.527
Were pretty much just them hanging out.
00:14:43.527 --> 00:14:45.943
Each one of the "Sister Squad" videos got
00:14:45.943 --> 00:14:48.844
Around 30 million views a piece.
00:14:48.844 --> 00:14:51.762
And so, they say that people were
00:14:51.762 --> 00:14:54.282
invested.
00:14:56.838 --> 00:15:00.599
In this friend's group dynamic
00:15:00.599 --> 00:15:02.485
'It would be an understatement.
NOTE Paragraph
00:15:02.485 --> 00:15:06.620
The most notable dynamics was that of.
00:15:06.620 --> 00:15:07.032
Emma and Grayson because it was heavily
00:15:07.032 --> 00:15:08.714
theorized that they secretly dating while
00:15:08.714 --> 00:15:10.579
fans were constantly speculating them.,
00:15:10.579 --> 00:15:13.179
making entire compilations of their
00:15:13.179 --> 00:15:16.777
interactions. And secondly was the
00:15:16.777 --> 00:15:18.790
dynamic between James and Grayson.
00:15:18.790 --> 00:15:20.727
It was pretty much an open secret that
00:15:20.727 --> 00:15:23.357
James had a crush on Grayson and there's
00:15:23.357 --> 00:15:27.477
entire compilations of him unsuccessfully
00:15:27.477 --> 00:15:29.650
flirting with him. And there's
00:15:29.650 --> 00:15:34.432
definitely some of the incidents were
00:15:34.432 --> 00:15:35.187
preplanned as a joke, but there's
00:15:35.187 --> 00:15:37.251
also many that were pretty much very raw.
00:15:37.251 --> 00:15:40.521
Very real like you can feel the rejection
00:15:40.521 --> 00:15:41.692
in the air like groaning
00:15:41.692 --> 00:15:44.754
this is very important to remember when
00:15:44.754 --> 00:15:48.140
we get to bisister, so just keep this is
00:15:48.140 --> 00:15:51.529
in mind that this group being able to
00:15:51.529 --> 00:15:53.912
make millions and millions of views per
00:15:53.912 --> 00:15:55.561
video and despite the way they seem so
00:15:55.561 --> 00:15:58.253
close in these videos. These two things
00:15:58.253 --> 00:16:00.738
have appeared to cause some turmoil
00:16:00.738 --> 00:16:04.357
because by February 4th, 2019, Emma
00:16:04.357 --> 00:16:07.571
unfollowed all of them and to be fair,
00:16:07.571 --> 00:16:11.008
she did unfollow everyone but like six
00:16:11.008 --> 00:16:13.368
people and posted on her story that she
00:16:13.368 --> 00:16:16.774
had done that for a social media purge.
00:16:16.774 --> 00:16:19.461
But to be honest, it doesn't really make
00:16:19.461 --> 00:16:20.973
sense because if you are doing a social
00:16:20.973 --> 00:16:24.597
media purge I think you still follow your
00:16:24.597 --> 00:16:26.882
closest friends and just not anyone else.
00:16:26.882 --> 00:16:29.739
So it kinda seemed like a convenient, uh,
00:16:29.739 --> 00:16:32.764
excuse. And James Charles's response to
00:16:32.764 --> 00:16:35.604
this was this tweet, "I posted a beautiful
00:16:35.604 --> 00:16:38.531
makeup look today but you wouldn't know"
00:16:38.531 --> 00:16:41.242
In November of 2018, James released his
00:16:41.242 --> 00:16:43.874
first ever makeup pallet. And this, of
00:16:43.874 --> 00:16:46.496
course, was James X Morphe. Now, let me
00:16:46.496 --> 00:16:49.802
tell you, this pallet was extremely
00:16:49.802 --> 00:16:53.047
popular at the time. Everyone that I
00:16:53.047 --> 00:16:55.551
knew had this, I had this, and it was just
00:16:55.551 --> 00:16:58.797
generally really well recieved. So this
00:16:58.797 --> 00:17:01.523
new level of entrepreneurship really
00:17:01.523 --> 00:17:05.516
brought him up a threshold of passionate
00:17:05.516 --> 00:17:08.491
passionate fans. Like he did an appearance
00:17:08.491 --> 00:17:10.787
at a Morphe store in Birmingham and
00:17:10.787 --> 00:17:15.832
8,000 people showed up to the mall to see
00:17:15.832 --> 00:17:18.607
him and it literally caused gridlock
00:17:18.607 --> 00:17:21.044
outside of the store, like people were
00:17:21.044 --> 00:17:23.867
trapped in their cars. That is how
00:17:23.867 --> 00:17:27.925
popular he was at the time. However, it
00:17:27.925 --> 00:17:30.509
wouldn't be long until James found himself
00:17:30.509 --> 00:17:34.554
in another controversy. Also, oh my god, I
00:17:34.554 --> 00:17:36.824
almost forgot to mention that he was
00:17:36.824 --> 00:17:39.901
singing unprompted in front of this Morphe
00:17:39.901 --> 00:17:40.575
as well.
00:17:40.575 --> 00:17:44.203
singing
00:17:44.203 --> 00:17:47.960
The 2019 Sisters Tour. So James was doing
00:17:47.960 --> 00:17:51.099
a tour across the country and the most
00:17:51.099 --> 00:17:53.578
expensive ticket that you could buy to see
00:17:53.578 --> 00:17:58.241
him was $500. Which, a lot of people
00:17:58.241 --> 00:18:00.926
were quick to call a scam. And he received
00:18:00.926 --> 00:18:03.592
a ton of backlash for this. Personally, I
00:18:03.592 --> 00:18:05.810
don't think this was a scam because you
00:18:05.810 --> 00:18:08.449
were going to get what you paid for. Like,
00:18:08.449 --> 00:18:10.102
it says right here what's included with
00:18:10.102 --> 00:18:13.424
this. It says, "Exclusive hangout with
00:18:13.424 --> 00:18:16.304
James Charles and the other Sister VIPS.
00:18:16.304 --> 00:18:18.612
One on one photo with James Charles.
00:18:18.612 --> 00:18:22.157
Exclusive Sisters VIP goodie bag. And
00:18:22.157 --> 00:18:24.796
exclusive autograph tour laminate. Front
00:18:24.796 --> 00:18:28.255
row seats and early access to merchandise
00:18:28.255 --> 00:18:30.904
vendors". Okay, that last one is crazy.
00:18:30.904 --> 00:18:34.008
Like, if your spending $500, I think you
00:18:34.008 --> 00:18:36.251
should get some free merch. In no way do I
00:18:36.251 --> 00:18:39.261
feel like this is worth $500 and like, in
00:18:39.261 --> 00:18:41.254
my perspective, I would feel like an
00:18:41.254 --> 00:18:44.455
asshole to hide a meet and greet with me
00:18:44.455 --> 00:18:47.591
behind a $500 paywall. However, if you
00:18:47.591 --> 00:18:50.280
really wanted to have all that stuff and
00:18:50.280 --> 00:18:53.508
spend $500, that is your business. James
00:18:53.508 --> 00:18:55.921
did say that he would try to talk to his
00:18:55.921 --> 00:18:58.736
team about lowering the prices, but they
00:18:58.736 --> 00:19:01.059
did remain the same. And in case your
00:19:01.059 --> 00:19:06.045
wondering what the luxury VIP James
00:19:06.045 --> 00:19:09.701
Charles experience was like, there's a
00:19:09.701 --> 00:19:11.740
video on YouTube titled, "I PAID $500
00:19:11.740 --> 00:19:13.406
TO SING WITH JAMES CHARLES" and it's him
00:19:13.406 --> 00:19:15.609
surrounded by a huge group of girls
00:19:15.609 --> 00:19:19.983
singing Listen by Beyonce very poorly.
00:19:19.983 --> 00:19:25.879
singing
00:19:25.879 --> 00:19:29.062
A genuine perk I see for anyone who went
00:19:29.062 --> 00:19:31.160
on this tour though, was that they got to
00:19:31.160 --> 00:19:34.584
witness the New Rules kick. In real time.
00:19:34.584 --> 00:19:37.958
video plays
00:19:37.958 --> 00:19:40.153
This became a meme just purely out of
00:19:40.153 --> 00:19:43.590
being the perfect storm. People just found
00:19:43.590 --> 00:19:45.844
out that some tickets to the tour cost
00:19:45.844 --> 00:19:49.649
$500 and then they see this. Poor
00:19:49.649 --> 00:19:52.805
singing and poor dancing. And that third
00:19:52.805 --> 00:19:56.278
miscellaneous kick, muah.
00:19:56.278 --> 00:19:58.062
Let's take a break to talk about something
00:19:58.062 --> 00:20:01.504
that definitely isn't overpriced. Today's
00:20:01.504 --> 00:20:04.534
video is sponsored by care/of. You guys,
00:20:04.534 --> 00:20:07.475
I'm so excited that care/of decided to
00:20:07.475 --> 00:20:10.471
partner with me again because I genuinely
00:20:10.471 --> 00:20:13.343
love my vitamin packs. Like, care/of has
00:20:13.343 --> 00:20:15.447
truly made remembering to take your
00:20:15.447 --> 00:20:17.749
vitamins and incorporating them into
00:20:17.749 --> 00:20:20.974
your wellness routines so convenient. And
00:20:20.974 --> 00:20:23.027
all I had to do to get the vitamins that
00:20:23.027 --> 00:20:25.339
were right for me, was take this little
00:20:25.339 --> 00:20:28.082
online quiz and it basically asks you
00:20:28.082 --> 00:20:33.790
questions about your lifestyle, and about
00:20:33.790 --> 00:20:36.096
your health goals. Then boom. care/of
00:20:36.096 --> 00:20:36.752
sends you doctor back recommendations
00:20:36.752 --> 00:20:39.690
right to your door in compostable packets.
00:20:39.690 --> 00:20:43.273
So! When I took my quiz, I said that I was
00:20:43.273 --> 00:20:45.377
concerned about my skin health, my eye
00:20:45.377 --> 00:20:48.345
health, and also that I wanted to improve
00:20:48.345 --> 00:20:50.804
my focus. And they ended up recommending
00:20:50.804 --> 00:20:53.380
me Astaxanthin, that's good for your eye
00:20:53.380 --> 00:20:55.650
and skin health. Then I got some Ceramides
00:20:55.650 --> 00:21:00.456
which is of course also good for your
00:21:00.456 --> 00:21:01.432
skin health. I got some Rhodiola which is
00:21:01.432 --> 00:21:03.706
for stress and focus. And honestly I could
00:21:03.706 --> 00:21:06.613
really rave all day about all of these,
00:21:06.613 --> 00:21:08.637
because since I've started taking these,
00:21:08.637 --> 00:21:11.115
I'm hooked and I've never been more
00:21:11.115 --> 00:21:14.028
satisfied with my skin, my hair, and my
00:21:14.028 --> 00:21:16.732
focus. Like, I feel like I'm genuinely
00:21:16.732 --> 00:21:20.705
getting good results.
00:21:20.705 --> 00:21:21.645
Care/of also has these wonderful powders
00:21:21.645 --> 00:21:23.863
that I love. I love their Collagen,
00:21:23.863 --> 00:21:26.668
seriously. I have tried other collagens
00:21:26.668 --> 00:21:29.622
and I hated them. They wouldn't dissolve
00:21:29.622 --> 00:21:32.104
in my coffee. They had a weird taste.
00:21:32.104 --> 00:21:34.023
And like they would just change the
00:21:34.023 --> 00:21:36.550
consistency of the coffee itself, like
00:21:36.550 --> 00:21:38.385
it was horrible. This is very important
00:21:38.385 --> 00:21:40.016
to me, like you guys don't even get it.
00:21:40.016 --> 00:21:41.788

us today. And now, back to the video.
00:21:59.997 --> 00:22:04.717
Welcome back! Now we're entering the calm
00:22:04.717 --> 00:22:06.992
before the storm and what I mean by that
00:22:06.992 --> 00:22:11.689
is that we are on the cusp of dramageddon
00:22:11.689 --> 00:22:16.186
This is literally April 2019 and no one
00:22:16.186 --> 00:22:20.071
had a single clue that the biggest drama
00:22:20.071 --> 00:22:22.975
of the internet would ever see what about
00:22:22.975 --> 00:22:25.978
to occur. Now, let me introduce to the
00:22:25.978 --> 00:22:27.112
central characters of the dramageddon.
00:22:27.112 --> 00:22:28.741
Ok, so here we have Tati Westbrook. She
00:22:28.741 --> 00:22:32.927
was a beauty guru as well as James'
00:22:32.927 --> 00:22:37.832
mentor and close friend. He even referred
00:22:37.832 --> 00:22:41.243
to her as a mother figure. As you can see
00:22:41.243 --> 00:22:44.034
here, this is James doing Tati's wedding
00:22:44.034 --> 00:22:47.565
makeup like that's how like this was how
00:22:47.565 --> 00:22:48.614
close they were and prior to these
00:22:48.614 --> 00:22:51.405
coming events, Tati had started her own
00:22:51.405 --> 00:22:55.996
supplement company in 2018 called Halo
00:22:55.996 --> 00:22:58.265
Beauty, and they basically sold like hair
00:22:58.265 --> 00:23:01.619
vitamins and skin vitamins, hoopla hoopla.
00:23:01.619 --> 00:23:04.934
Enter Jeffree Star. If you don't know who
00:23:04.934 --> 00:23:08.096
Jeffree Star is, he's probably in the top
00:23:08.096 --> 00:23:11.804
10 worst people on the internet and to
00:23:11.804 --> 00:23:15.066
fully explain why that is that would
00:23:15.066 --> 00:23:17.339
require like a whole three hour video.
00:23:17.339 --> 00:23:19.037
inaudible
00:23:19.037 --> 00:23:21.196
he has a very successful makeup company
00:23:21.196 --> 00:23:23.478
called "Jeffree Star Cosmetics" and his
00:23:23.478 --> 00:23:26.383
channel at this time was massive in the
00:23:26.383 --> 00:23:28.993
beauty community. However, not
00:23:28.993 --> 00:23:32.018
as massive as James' and side note,
00:23:32.018 --> 00:23:35.554
in 2024 he lives on a farm and sells yak
00:23:35.554 --> 00:23:38.507
meat. So, there's that. Our last big
00:23:38.507 --> 00:23:41.809
dramageddon figure is Shane Dodsen.
00:23:41.809 --> 00:23:45.872
Shane is probably also on that top 10 list
00:23:45.872 --> 00:23:48.714
of worse people online. Come to think of
00:23:48.714 --> 00:23:50.372
it, James is too, but we will cross that
00:23:50.372 --> 00:23:52.525
bridge when we get there. What is
00:23:52.525 --> 00:23:53.064
important to know now though, is that in
00:23:53.064 --> 00:23:59.121
landscape of 2019 YouTube, for some reason
00:23:59.121 --> 00:24:05.804
Jane Dodsen, like a respected
00:24:05.804 --> 00:24:06.788
documentarian, and he has just done a
00:24:06.788 --> 00:24:08.442
documentary series about Jeffree Star.
00:24:08.442 --> 00:24:10.878
Looking back on it, these videos were not
00:24:10.878 --> 00:24:13.953
good and 60% of them were just like
00:24:13.953 --> 00:24:16.245
filler but each and every one of them got
00:24:16.245 --> 00:24:17.933
around 30 million views. With that it
00:24:17.933 --> 00:24:22.218
mind, this brings us to Coachella 2019.
00:24:22.218 --> 00:24:28.314
This is where is all kicks off dude.
00:24:28.314 --> 00:24:32.344
During this time, James was "seeing" an
00:24:32.344 --> 00:24:34.994
influencer named Gage Gomez. "Seeing" it
00:24:34.994 --> 00:24:35.826
in air quotes because it was less of an
00:24:35.826 --> 00:24:37.428
actual relationship and more of actual
00:24:37.428 --> 00:24:41.833
like bicurious experimental time on Gage's
00:24:41.833 --> 00:24:44.681
end, but they were photographed at this
00:24:44.681 --> 00:24:47.499
Coachella multiple times, which made fans
00:24:47.499 --> 00:24:49.848
start to speculate that James had a
00:24:49.848 --> 00:24:52.095
boyfriend. And so, a lot of people began
00:24:52.095 --> 00:24:54.508
to tweet James about this and he actually
00:24:54.508 --> 00:24:57.464
responded to one of these tweets saying
00:24:57.464 --> 00:25:02.012
something along the lines of "No. I'm
00:25:02.012 --> 00:25:03.602
sadly still single. I was manipulated by
00:25:03.602 --> 00:25:05.565
a conman." I looked everywhere for this
00:25:05.565 --> 00:25:07.680
tweet and read it and writing down
00:25:07.680 --> 00:25:10.509
every thing it said at this point but
00:25:10.509 --> 00:25:12.032
can't find it anymore. So, sources that
00:25:12.032 --> 00:25:15.446
trust me. James just subtweeted
00:25:15.446 --> 00:25:18.068
that Gage, several times over the
00:25:18.068 --> 00:25:21.664
Coachella weekend, including this one
00:25:21.664 --> 00:25:23.450
which says, "I'm sitting sobbing in my
00:25:23.450 --> 00:25:26.058
hotel room at 8 am and have to be on set
00:25:26.058 --> 00:25:28.277
in an hour. This is no one's fault but
00:25:28.277 --> 00:25:31.155
my own because my dumbass continues to
00:25:31.155 --> 00:25:33.294
go for the same type of insecure cute
00:25:33.294 --> 00:25:36.055
boys and it gets me hurt, every single
00:25:36.055 --> 00:25:37.845
time. I was started fucking to hate
00:25:37.845 --> 00:25:43.353
myself". Tensions are rising. Things are
00:25:43.353 --> 00:25:43.965
bubbling up, ok. And the next day of the
00:25:43.965 --> 00:25:46.527
festival, James ended up getting mobbed
00:25:46.527 --> 00:25:49.546
by fans because for some reason he didn't
00:25:49.546 --> 00:25:52.623
have like a VIP ticket which would have
00:25:52.623 --> 00:25:55.365
let him in like exclusive spaces to not
00:25:55.365 --> 00:25:57.870
be around so many fans. And so, all these
00:25:57.870 --> 00:26:00.862
people are running up on him right. He is
00:26:00.862 --> 00:26:03.153
like, holy shit, what do I do? And this
00:26:03.153 --> 00:26:06.807
led him to text his friend and fellow
00:26:06.807 --> 00:26:08.029
beauty guru, Nikita Dragon. And he asked
00:26:08.029 --> 00:26:10.300
her for help about the sicky situation.
00:26:10.300 --> 00:26:12.947
And so, she connects him to the Sugarbear
00:26:12.947 --> 00:26:15.059
Hair Team, because they're had their
00:26:15.059 --> 00:26:18.247
own VIP tent space, and they were going
00:26:18.247 --> 00:26:20.343
to let James in and in exchange for him
00:26:20.343 --> 00:26:23.516
doing just one Sugarbear Hair
00:26:23.516 --> 00:26:26.783
ad on his Instagram story and so,
00:26:26.783 --> 00:26:28.966
with no other choice, he signs the
00:26:28.966 --> 00:26:31.346
contract and gets in that tent. But let
00:26:31.346 --> 00:26:33.618
it be known that Sugarbear Hair was a
00:26:33.618 --> 00:26:35.508
very popular was a very popular vitamin
00:26:35.508 --> 00:26:39.687
brand as in Beauty Vitamins, as in for
00:26:39.687 --> 00:26:43.090
your skin and face. A.K.A. a direct
00:26:43.090 --> 00:26:44.899
competitor to Tati Westbrook's
00:26:44.899 --> 00:26:48.772
brand "Halo Beauty" Dramageddon arrived!
00:26:48.772 --> 00:26:52.242
Her story in the making. On April 22,
00:26:52.242 --> 00:26:56.445
James posted his contraction obligated ad
00:26:56.445 --> 00:26:59.539
on Instagram. Notably, as you can see
00:26:59.539 --> 00:27:02.648
here, he's actually promoting their sleep
00:27:02.648 --> 00:27:05.531
gummies, not their skin or hair ones. But
00:27:05.531 --> 00:27:07.536
he does this and then he gets on a plane
00:27:07.536 --> 00:27:09.593
to Australia. For what I am about to say
00:27:09.593 --> 00:27:12.784
next, at this point in time Tati
00:27:12.784 --> 00:27:17.622
Westbrook is 37 years old and James was
00:27:17.622 --> 00:27:20.556
only 19. By the time James landed in
00:27:20.556 --> 00:27:23.237
Australia, Tati had already posted
00:27:23.237 --> 00:27:26.941
multiple stories of her crying and
00:27:26.941 --> 00:27:29.445
saying she feels so betrayed by a close
00:27:29.445 --> 00:27:31.959
friend and she had been taken advantage
00:27:31.959 --> 00:27:34.695
by somebody she thought she can trust and
00:27:34.695 --> 00:27:37.974
she helped so much and it was very
00:27:37.974 --> 00:27:40.551
obvious, like that she was talking about
00:27:40.551 --> 00:27:43.740
James. Like he literally just posted that
00:27:43.740 --> 00:27:46.593
Sugarbear Hair ad so, people added two
00:27:46.593 --> 00:27:50.009
plus two together so unbeknownst to James,
00:27:50.009 --> 00:27:52.549
thousands and thousands of people had
00:27:52.549 --> 00:27:55.294
begun adding him on Twitter, messaging
00:27:55.294 --> 00:27:57.704
him on Instagram. People he knew were
00:27:57.704 --> 00:27:59.969
sending him messages being like what's
00:27:59.969 --> 00:28:01.828
going on with you and Tati. And so, he
00:28:01.828 --> 00:28:03.744
gets off the plane, right. He sees this.
00:28:03.744 --> 00:28:06.050
He tries to call Tati. He tries to text
00:28:06.050 --> 00:28:07.752
her. He tries to call her husband.
00:28:07.752 --> 00:28:10.311
Neither of them answers but Tati just
00:28:10.311 --> 00:28:14.211
continues to post on Instagram. So, he
00:28:14.211 --> 00:28:17.023
decides to just make a public
00:28:17.023 --> 00:28:19.414
apology post. So the apology read," I want
00:28:19.414 --> 00:28:21.405
to publicly apologize to my close friend
00:28:21.405 --> 00:28:23.343
Tati. She has been like a mother to me
00:28:23.343 --> 00:28:25.614
since before my first days in this
00:28:25.614 --> 00:28:28.410
industry and has given me more love so
00:28:28.410 --> 00:28:30.402
important resources and advice that I
00:28:30.402 --> 00:28:33.450
could ever ask for. This weekend I did an
00:28:33.450 --> 00:28:35.826
Instagram story for sleep vitamins that
00:28:35.826 --> 00:28:38.321
I have been taking because the brand helps
00:28:38.321 --> 00:28:40.850
me with security when the crowd around me
00:28:40.850 --> 00:28:43.302
at Coachella became unsafe. I did not
00:28:43.302 --> 00:28:45.117
accept any money for the post. As most
00:28:45.117 --> 00:28:47.335
of you know, Tati has a vitamin brand
00:28:47.335 --> 00:28:51.194
which I take on a daily basis but at the
00:28:51.194 --> 00:28:53.720
moment, I did not think about the
00:28:53.720 --> 00:28:56.043
competition, which was a major oversight.
00:28:56.043 --> 00:28:58.823
I've supported Tati both online and off
00:28:58.823 --> 00:29:01.215
like she has done for me and I am
00:29:01.215 --> 00:29:03.575
devastated that I hurt somebody that I
00:29:03.575 --> 00:29:06.665
truly love and have endless respect for".
00:29:06.665 --> 00:29:10.644
I think the mature thing for 37-year-old
00:29:10.644 --> 00:29:14.038
Tati to do after seeing this would be to
00:29:14.038 --> 00:29:16.641
just talk to him, but instead she just
00:29:16.641 --> 00:29:19.854
continued ignoring him and posting and
00:29:19.854 --> 00:29:22.451
posting about this situation and crying
00:29:22.451 --> 00:29:26.651
online. And so, a few days later on May 4,
00:29:26.651 --> 00:29:30.831
2019, Gabriel Zamora, another beauty guru,
00:29:30.831 --> 00:29:34.267
posted this video titled "Makeup and
00:29:34.267 --> 00:29:36.822
Opinions". And during this video, he
00:29:36.822 --> 00:29:39.269
indirectly talks about the drama going on
00:29:39.269 --> 00:29:42.069
between Tati and James, saying that it's
00:29:42.069 --> 00:29:44.234
stupid that basically, Tati keeps like
00:29:44.234 --> 00:29:46.561
sub tweeting about him but won't
00:29:46.561 --> 00:29:49.153
actually say what's going on or just talk
00:29:49.153 --> 00:29:51.042
to him and he's honestly so right, like
00:29:51.042 --> 00:29:54.772
this 37-year-old woman just implying that
00:29:54.772 --> 00:29:56.942
her 19-year-old colleague has done
00:29:56.942 --> 00:29:59.942
something awful for days on end but then
00:29:59.942 --> 00:30:02.172
refuses to say anything about it
00:30:02.172 --> 00:30:04.516
to divulge more information and so
00:30:04.516 --> 00:30:07.144
Gabriel concludes this segment of the
00:30:07.144 --> 00:30:10.568
video by saying "Girl, go sit on the
00:30:10.568 --> 00:30:12.456
internet and talk about it then". And
00:30:12.456 --> 00:30:15.962
those words would unknowingly be the
00:30:15.962 --> 00:30:20.090
final straw, the final catalyst for the
00:30:20.090 --> 00:30:23.934
video that we all know today as the
00:30:23.934 --> 00:30:29.148
"Bye sister". "Bye sister" is one of the
00:30:29.148 --> 00:30:33.148
most iconic YouTube videos of all time.
00:30:33.148 --> 00:30:37.404
Seriously, the cultural impact of this
00:30:37.404 --> 00:30:40.733
cannot be minimized. Cannot be silenced.
00:30:40.733 --> 00:30:43.730
I still remember where I was when "Bye
00:30:43.733 --> 00:30:46.493
Sister" happened. It was a cold, windy
00:30:46.493 --> 00:30:50.965
day. On May 10th, 2019, when Tati decided
00:30:50.965 --> 00:30:54.989
that she needed to spill the tea "on
00:30:54.989 --> 00:30:57.489
James' Charles". This video is insane
00:30:57.489 --> 00:31:00.634
from start gulp to finished. It begins
00:31:00.634 --> 00:31:04.008
Gabriel Zamora's famous last words, "Girl,
00:31:04.008 --> 00:31:05.877
go talk about it on the internet then".
00:31:05.877 --> 00:31:07.731
"If you are going to go on the internet
00:31:07.731 --> 00:31:09.536
and cry and heavily imply that there
00:31:09.537 --> 00:31:10.965
a horrible human being
00:31:10.965 --> 00:31:12.779
and everybody can get what it is.
00:31:12.779 --> 00:31:14.344
Girl, sit on the internet
00:31:14.354 --> 00:31:15.604
and talk about it then".
00:31:15.613 --> 00:31:17.943
Imagine being the person that made this
00:31:17.943 --> 00:31:19.900
happen. But there were three major
00:31:19.900 --> 00:31:21.959
claims that Tati makes in this video
00:31:21.959 --> 00:31:24.622
against James Charles and let's just
00:31:24.622 --> 00:31:27.619
tackle them bullet point by bullet point.
00:31:27.619 --> 00:31:30.891
First and foremost, she claims that James
00:31:30.891 --> 00:31:34.472
purposefully sabotaged her vitamin gummy
00:31:34.472 --> 00:31:37.667
business by preorchestrating the Sugarbear
00:31:37.667 --> 00:31:40.800
hair contract. Two, that James' obnoxious
00:31:40.800 --> 00:31:43.676
and talks about c*ck and balls.
00:31:43.676 --> 00:31:46.921
Three, and the most serious one, is that
00:31:46.921 --> 00:31:50.085
he tries to manipulate straight men. But
00:31:50.085 --> 00:31:52.078
let's start off with the vitamins. Tati
00:31:52.078 --> 00:31:54.279
lists multiple ways in which she
00:31:54.279 --> 00:31:56.709
supported James over the years by pouring
00:31:56.709 --> 00:31:59.431
over contracts for him, setting up his
00:31:59.431 --> 00:32:02.764
Google add cent by him even after he
00:32:02.764 --> 00:32:05.551
tweeted about Ebola. But despite all this
00:32:05.551 --> 00:32:07.470
stuff that she's given him, she claims
00:32:07.470 --> 00:32:11.065
James gave her no warning before he posted
00:32:11.065 --> 00:32:13.962
his Sugarbear Hair ad, and also that he
00:32:13.962 --> 00:32:17.346
actually made the whole Coachella security
00:32:17.346 --> 00:32:19.721
thing up like he wasn't getting bombarded
00:32:19.721 --> 00:32:21.894
by fans or anything. He just already
00:32:21.894 --> 00:32:24.529
planned to do the Sugarbear Hair ad. Her
00:32:24.529 --> 00:32:27.074
reasoning is that there is no way that a
00:32:27.074 --> 00:32:29.644
company would ever just go out of their
00:32:29.644 --> 00:32:32.410
way to give you a contract just like that.
00:32:32.410 --> 00:32:35.556
And so, he has to be liying and even if
00:32:35.556 --> 00:32:37.957
there was a security problem.
00:32:37.957 --> 00:32:41.129
Even if he was getting rushed by fans, he
00:32:41.129 --> 00:32:44.080
should have simply walked away.
00:32:44.080 --> 00:32:46.052
You should have walked away. You should
00:32:46.052 --> 00:32:47.551
have held on to your integrity.
00:32:47.551 --> 00:32:49.569
You're phony. I know that now.
00:32:49.569 --> 00:32:52.073
These are all really interesting things
00:32:52.073 --> 00:32:55.400
to say because at the high of James' fame,
00:32:55.400 --> 00:32:57.565
I would think that a lot of companies
00:32:57.565 --> 00:33:00.152
might want to leap at the opportunity to
00:33:00.152 --> 00:33:02.102
work with him. I also kind of love it and
00:33:02.102 --> 00:33:04.035
I am kind of gagged by the way that she
00:33:04.035 --> 00:33:07.188
just says "walk away from people mobbing
00:33:07.188 --> 00:33:07.910
you."
00:33:07.910 --> 00:33:09.794
A lot of people are like were like what
00:33:09.794 --> 00:33:11.606
is he supposed to do. It's dangerous.
00:33:11.606 --> 00:33:12.614
Like leave. Go home.
00:33:12.614 --> 00:33:14.785
Why are you drowning? Just breathe.
00:33:14.785 --> 00:33:16.732
Why are you getting cyberbullying?
00:33:16.732 --> 00:33:19.323
Walk away from the computer. She goes on
00:33:19.323 --> 00:33:21.660
to blame him for potentially losing
00:33:21.660 --> 00:33:24.192
thousands and thousands of dollars due
00:33:24.192 --> 00:33:26.614
to his Instagram ad. Because nobody is
00:33:26.614 --> 00:33:29.417
going to buy two different brands of hair
00:33:29.417 --> 00:33:30.423
gummies.
00:33:30.423 --> 00:33:32.274
It's not a palette. It's not something
00:33:32.274 --> 00:33:33.676
that people buy multiples of.
00:33:33.676 --> 00:33:35.867
Then she then contradicts herself by
00:33:35.867 --> 00:33:38.057
saying that she doesn't needs ads. She
00:33:38.057 --> 00:33:40.763
doesn't want ads and her product is
00:33:40.763 --> 00:33:42.760
selling like hotcakes
00:33:42.760 --> 00:33:44.719
We're selling like hotcakes. Like I don't
00:33:44.719 --> 00:33:47.624
need to at this point. It seems like I
00:33:47.624 --> 00:33:50.112
am going on about this first bullet point
00:33:50.112 --> 00:33:53.643
for a while. It's because the majority of
00:33:53.643 --> 00:33:57.494
the video is actually about the gummy
00:33:57.494 --> 00:34:00.320
vitamins. She claims that James said
00:34:00.320 --> 00:34:03.035
he couldn't advertise for halo beauty on
00:34:03.035 --> 00:34:05.465
his channel because he had too many young
00:34:05.468 --> 00:34:07.978
fans watching and he didn't want to like
00:34:07.978 --> 00:34:10.614
market them supplements and so, she's
00:34:10.614 --> 00:34:13.398
like "But here you are on your Instagram
00:34:13.398 --> 00:34:17.017
story, selling sleep pills to kids which
00:34:17.017 --> 00:34:21.700
is whoa thats a reach. Ma'am, these are
00:34:21.700 --> 00:34:23.374
melatonin gummies.
00:34:23.374 --> 00:34:25.985
Moving on to the fucking c*ck and balls
00:34:25.991 --> 00:34:28.647
and straight boy allegation section.
00:34:28.647 --> 00:34:31.349
Unfortunately, those two things are
00:34:31.349 --> 00:34:34.992
interlinked in this video. So that's why
00:34:34.992 --> 00:34:36.689
I'm roping them together. It's not
00:34:36.689 --> 00:34:37.766
that I'm not taking
00:34:37.766 --> 00:34:39.752
the last one seriously. It's that
00:34:39.752 --> 00:34:42.229
Tati has... Tati has done this to me.
00:34:42.229 --> 00:34:45.580
Tati claims that James tried to manipulate
00:34:45.580 --> 00:34:48.470
a waiter at her birthday dinner into
00:34:48.470 --> 00:34:51.326
thinking he was gay. She also claims that
00:34:51.326 --> 00:34:54.526
he was saying very loudly explicit things
00:34:54.526 --> 00:34:56.627
that he wanted to do to him.
00:34:56.627 --> 00:34:59.004
But what was most shocking to her was the
00:34:59.008 --> 00:35:01.622
fact that he was willing to talk about
00:35:01.622 --> 00:35:04.277
all this in front of her family and his
00:35:04.277 --> 00:35:06.538
own parents which is why we get the
00:35:06.538 --> 00:35:09.869
iconic sucking dck and cck line.
00:35:09.869 --> 00:35:11.657
Sucking and dick and cock. Like
00:35:11.657 --> 00:35:13.081
I'm just like Oh my God
00:35:13.081 --> 00:35:15.360
time and place and you did it at my
00:35:15.360 --> 00:35:16.413
birthday dinner.
00:35:16.413 --> 00:35:18.655
She claims she told James to leave the
00:35:18.655 --> 00:35:20.540
waiter alone and that he was straight.
00:35:20.540 --> 00:35:23.084
And in response he said it doesn't
00:35:23.084 --> 00:35:25.470
matter. I'm famous. She concludes the
00:35:25.470 --> 00:35:27.454
video with talking about some other
00:35:27.454 --> 00:35:30.942
vague instances of James trying to
00:35:30.942 --> 00:35:33.336
manipulate straight men and claims that
00:35:33.336 --> 00:35:35.164
the only reason why she's posting this
00:35:35.164 --> 00:35:37.644
is because it's a last ditch effort to get
00:35:37.644 --> 00:35:39.949
through to him so that he will stop
00:35:39.949 --> 00:35:42.820
trying to manipulate and seduce these
00:35:42.820 --> 00:35:44.922
straight men. Okay, let me just do a
00:35:44.922 --> 00:35:47.226
quick disclaimer here. I'm going to be
00:35:47.226 --> 00:35:50.337
treating the bye sister allegations as
00:35:50.337 --> 00:35:53.352
their own separate thing. Not really
00:35:53.352 --> 00:35:56.099
trying to connect them to further
00:35:56.099 --> 00:35:58.588
allegations because I feel like that will
00:35:58.588 --> 00:36:01.232
get very crazy and twisted and that is
00:36:01.232 --> 00:36:03.683
not what I want because a lot of bye
00:36:03.683 --> 00:36:06.455
sister, as you will see, gets debunked.
00:36:06.455 --> 00:36:09.560
Where as in the future. there are actual
00:36:09.560 --> 00:36:14.064
victims that James like has with reciepts
00:36:14.064 --> 00:36:15.407
So I don't want Dramageddon
00:36:15.407 --> 00:36:17.388
and like that world
00:36:17.388 --> 00:36:19.720
intermixing out of respect.
00:36:19.720 --> 00:36:22.895
And so, with that in mind, we
00:36:22.895 --> 00:36:24.831
need to talk a little bit more about the
00:36:24.831 --> 00:36:27.698
elephant in the room with bye sister and
00:36:27.698 --> 00:36:30.863
that is that Tati spent the majority of
00:36:30.863 --> 00:36:34.361
video talking about her beef with James,
00:36:34.361 --> 00:36:37.428
with the vitamins, but then in the end
00:36:37.428 --> 00:36:40.341
claims that she making this video because
00:36:40.341 --> 00:36:43.804
of the sexual ab*use allegations.
00:36:43.804 --> 00:36:46.130
Including but not limited to the sexual
00:36:46.130 --> 00:36:48.356
harrassment of the waiter at the
00:36:48.356 --> 00:36:50.321
restaurant. Also just have to mention
00:36:50.321 --> 00:36:52.625
it, I don't know if you noticed this but
00:36:52.625 --> 00:36:56.339
the Jeffree Star Lipsticks sitting in the
00:36:56.339 --> 00:37:00.382
background of this video. Oh My God!
00:37:00.382 --> 00:37:04.685
Move over classic literature writers.
00:37:04.685 --> 00:37:07.791
That is the best foreshadowing I've ever
00:37:07.791 --> 00:37:11.601
seen. Regardless, the immediate public
00:37:11.601 --> 00:37:14.741
response to bye sister was cateclismic.
00:37:14.742 --> 00:37:17.972
The video quickly accumulated 30 million
00:37:17.972 --> 00:37:22.222
views and a trend sparked within the hour
00:37:22.222 --> 00:37:25.654
of burning or destroying your James'
00:37:25.654 --> 00:37:28.424
Morphe palatte . There are many of these
00:37:28.435 --> 00:37:31.268
compilations. This one alone is 10 minutes
00:37:31.268 --> 00:37:34.072
straight of people just destroying their
00:37:34.072 --> 00:37:37.185
James Morphe palatte. James Charles
00:37:37.185 --> 00:37:40.123
is over party was trending on Twitter.
00:37:40.123 --> 00:37:42.148
My personal memory of this is
00:37:42.148 --> 00:37:44.593
going on Snapchat and seeing on
00:37:44.593 --> 00:37:46.926
one of my friend's stories that there was
00:37:46.926 --> 00:37:49.897
a line out the door at my local Ulta
00:37:49.897 --> 00:37:52.708
of girls were just returning the
00:37:52.708 --> 00:37:55.079
James' palette. I really, really wish I
00:37:55.079 --> 00:37:57.001
could have found footage of that because
00:37:57.001 --> 00:37:59.236
it contributes to a bigger picture here
00:37:59.236 --> 00:38:02.086
and that is, I think, everybody had a
00:38:02.086 --> 00:38:04.837
little bit of mass hysteria with this
00:38:04.837 --> 00:38:07.580
because I have just never seen people
00:38:07.580 --> 00:38:10.295
react in the way people reacted
00:38:10.295 --> 00:38:13.140
to bye sister. Like people have done other
00:38:13.140 --> 00:38:16.391
alleged things that are of equivalent or
00:38:16.391 --> 00:38:19.848
worse and we have not seen
00:38:19.848 --> 00:38:20.811
something like this
00:38:20.811 --> 00:38:24.139
happen. Anyways, within all this havoc,
00:38:24.139 --> 00:38:27.459
later that night James post an apology
00:38:27.459 --> 00:38:31.069
video simply titled "Tati". This is a nine
00:38:31.069 --> 00:38:33.665
minute video but I am willing to bet the
00:38:33.665 --> 00:38:36.700
actual amount of talking in it is more so
00:38:36.700 --> 00:38:39.266
around like four because in it,
00:38:39.266 --> 00:38:42.385
James is very clearly jetlagged and
00:38:42.400 --> 00:38:46.119
tired like he's whispering. He's talking
00:38:46.119 --> 00:38:48.089
really slow.
00:38:48.089 --> 00:38:52.844
I met Tati.
00:38:52.844 --> 00:38:55.414
Not only that, he only apologizes
00:38:55.414 --> 00:38:57.788
for disrespecting Tati. He doesn't
00:38:57.788 --> 00:39:02.350
confirm or deny any other allegations. he
00:39:02.350 --> 00:39:04.513
just needs to be more careful of his
00:39:04.513 --> 00:39:06.462
relationships in the future in the
00:39:06.462 --> 00:39:10.175
public eye. And so, posts and to say that
00:39:10.175 --> 00:39:14.079
people um didn't receive it well would be
00:39:14.079 --> 00:39:16.191
a flub. it would be a lil flub.
00:39:16.191 --> 00:39:18.936
As soon as video dropped, a ton of
00:39:18.936 --> 00:39:20.723
channels began to live
00:39:20.723 --> 00:39:23.725
streaming. The live sub count of James
00:39:23.725 --> 00:39:27.033
Charles losing thousands and thousands
00:39:27.033 --> 00:39:29.890
and thousands of subscribers meanwhile,
00:39:29.890 --> 00:39:33.381
showing Tati gaining subs. I'm not joking
00:39:33.381 --> 00:39:35.081
with you guys when I say, there was
00:39:35.081 --> 00:39:37.886
probably like 300 of these channels all
00:39:37.886 --> 00:39:41.863
active at once and in the live chat people
00:39:41.863 --> 00:39:45.523
were goading them on like a sports event
00:39:45.523 --> 00:39:49.643
before terminally online makeup girlies
00:39:49.643 --> 00:39:52.187
At least partially because of these
00:39:52.187 --> 00:39:54.952
live sub trackers, James Charles would
00:39:54.952 --> 00:39:57.645
become the first Youtuber to lose one
00:39:57.645 --> 00:40:02.908
million subscribers in one day. There were
00:40:02.908 --> 00:40:05.889
a ton of memes about the Tati apology
00:40:05.889 --> 00:40:08.348
video floating around and let's just
00:40:08.348 --> 00:40:11.043
say all of the breathing in it did not
00:40:11.043 --> 00:40:12.432
help the case.
00:40:12.432 --> 00:40:17.474
*breathing
00:40:17.474 --> 00:40:20.233
Meanwhile, a ton of people started chiming
00:40:20.233 --> 00:40:22.662
in about the situation on Twitter and
00:40:22.662 --> 00:40:25.271
even just kind of making things up to
00:40:25.271 --> 00:40:28.314
insert themselves into the conversation
00:40:28.314 --> 00:40:30.486
because it was so trendy.
00:40:30.486 --> 00:40:33.393
For example, the singer Zara Larson posted
00:40:33.393 --> 00:40:34.848
this tweet that said
00:40:34.848 --> 00:40:36.853
"I'm cackling cause he hit up my
00:40:36.853 --> 00:40:39.115
boyfriend in the dms several times
00:40:39.115 --> 00:40:41.600
knowing damn well he's straight".
00:40:41.600 --> 00:40:43.845
She would later go on to apologize for
00:40:43.845 --> 00:40:46.455
that because she didn't realize that he
00:40:46.455 --> 00:40:49.357
had only sent her boyfriend one message.
00:40:49.357 --> 00:40:51.364
There was also some person making the
00:40:51.364 --> 00:40:54.145
claim that in high school, James had
00:40:54.145 --> 00:40:57.652
catfished the entire football team just
00:40:57.652 --> 00:41:00.556
to trick them into sending him d*** pics,
00:41:00.556 --> 00:41:04.218
which I mean, it's a wild claim.
00:41:04.218 --> 00:41:06.590
I'm not saying impossible but it's
00:41:06.590 --> 00:41:08.029
f******* wild, I'll say that.
00:41:08.029 --> 00:41:10.827
At this point, people also mass
00:41:10.827 --> 00:41:13.881
unfollowing James on Instagram, as well,
00:41:13.881 --> 00:41:16.616
and some of the people unfollowed him
00:41:16.616 --> 00:41:19.364
include people like the Kardashians,
00:41:19.364 --> 00:41:21.940
Demi Lavato, Ariana Grande....
00:41:21.940 --> 00:41:25.360
But most importantly to all of this, is
00:41:25.360 --> 00:41:27.690
the fact that every single one of the
00:41:27.690 --> 00:41:29.855
members of the sister squad unfollowed
00:41:29.855 --> 00:41:32.937
him which affectively ended it.
00:41:32.937 --> 00:41:35.952
The next day, May 14th, Gage Gomez
00:41:35.952 --> 00:41:38.633
uploads a video titled " My first
00:41:38.633 --> 00:41:41.460
YouTube video" and in it he talks about
00:41:41.460 --> 00:41:44.538
how James having sub tweeted him had
00:41:44.538 --> 00:41:48.065
actually, caused a shit ton of his fans to
00:41:48.065 --> 00:41:51.268
his page and start threatening him and
00:41:51.268 --> 00:41:53.812
harassing him. He also says that James
00:41:53.812 --> 00:41:57.366
realized that these sub tweets were wrong
00:41:57.366 --> 00:42:01.616
because he ended up apologizing to him
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and deleting them, but essentially he just
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
wanted to clear his name out of this.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Confusingly though, shortly after this
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
video was posted he went on a Instagram
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
live stream and when somebody asked him
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
if he was single he said that he had just
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
been dumped and seemed to imply that
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it was either James or related to James
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
in some way.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Someone by the little name of, um
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'm not gonna say it. It starts with a J.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What makes this even more convulated to
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is that I found out on one of the days
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that James was at Coachella, he went to
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
brunch with this guy named DIllon Gike
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I think and the *gasp it all is, is that
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
this person Dillon is Gage's friend and
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
speculated more than friend. So there's
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that interesting thing. Then Dillon would
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
comment on Gage's page calling clout
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
chaser. I don't know what kind of friend
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
dynamics or anything more happening here,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but it made me very confused about Gage's
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
stance in all of this. Shortly after that
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
live stream though Gage would post
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
another video that just made me even more
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
confused because in this video he said
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that James tried to manipulate him to
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
thinking he was gay, even after telling
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that he was straight multiple times but
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
James kept pursuing him. I have
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
nothing more to say about this video even
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
though I totally believe it could have
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
happened but also, I am confused.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
*Popping noise
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Alrighty, Here we are.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I am just a little bit lost in it all.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Let's move on.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
While all this is going on, Ian Jeffree,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
A.K.A. James' little brother tweets out
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
" Why does everyone act so tough over the
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
internet".
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And Jeffree Star chimes in within A.K.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
47 for no reason he says
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"Why is your brother a predator?? Why'd
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you really move back to NYC? Exactly.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Shut the f*** up".
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
For context, I guess Ian had moved back
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to New York City to be with their parents
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
recently, but saying this to a 17-year-old
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that probably has no idea what you are
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
talking about. It's so Jeffree Star. Like,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
at least he stays on brand like he just
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
continues to be a bad person.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But Jeffree ended up continuing he said,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"There is a reason why I haven't seen him
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
since Tati's birthday in February. He is a
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
danger to society. Everything that Tati
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
said is 100% true.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
On the same day as these tweets, Sam,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the waiter from Tati's birthday party.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"Sucking a dick and cock"
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Posted a video explaining his side of the
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
story and basically, Sam explains that
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
James had asked another one of the waiters
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
for his number and if he would was single.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He also complimented him on the way
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that he looked. Since he didn't get his
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
number, he left the restaurant and that
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
was that but later that night, Sam's
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
sister convinced him to dm James and talk
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to him again and so, he did and they
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
started talking. James apologizes for
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
flirting with him. At this point he
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
actually found it flattering.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The conversation escalated until James
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
invited him to his hotel room, and since
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Sam says he is bicurious he went to
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
go meet up with him. He says
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
they ended up making out for around
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
an hour at the hotel and that James'
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is the worst kind of kisser he's ever had.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's just...
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If I am being honest, he is the worst
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
kisser I've ever kissed. Way too much
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
tongue. He then goes on to say that James
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
begged him to stay in the hotel with him
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but because he did not enjoy the kissing,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
he decided to leave anyways. And now the
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
following week, James offered to fly Sam
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
out to California for his birthday, but
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Sam told him that he figured out that he
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
was pretty much straight so it wouldn't be
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
right for him to accept the invitation. At
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
which point James became upset and told
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
him that he was not straight and that
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
he hoped that he would figure that out
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
sooner than later. The TLDR at the end of
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
this video is that the last draw for Sam
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to cut contact off with James was finding
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
out he was also talking to Gage at the
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
same time meaning that he thought that
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
he was playing two straight guys at once.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
On May 13th, Nikita Dragon jumps back into
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Dramageddon and tweets out strange shots
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
between her and James Charles. She's
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
trying to back him up, trying to be like
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"See, it really did happen guys",
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
like he was getting bombarded at Coachella
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but this really only made things worse,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
because after Tati's video, everyone
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
really believed that James had reached
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
out to Sugarbear Hair in a pre-planned
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
effort, not to mention that she didn't
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
bring up the straight boy allegations so
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
people were really clowning on her for
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
this. She posted a YouTube video the
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
following day titled "What really
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
happened" and this made plenty of fans
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
click on the video expecting her to
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
talk about James and Tati situation
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
because, of course, what else could this
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
be about and, mind you, I haven't actually
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
watched this video completely, scrubbed
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
from the internet. Cannot find it
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
anywhere. But apparently instead of
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
addressing anything relevant, she just
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
makes a general statement about mean
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
comments and then plugs her beauty brand
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
for the last, like five minutes. Which
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
goes to show how much people
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
were capitalizing off this beef. I mean
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Nikita Dragon was literally just there at
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Coachella with James. She could have said
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
something about the subject but
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
she was like I'm gonna get into this with
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
my Dragon Beauty brand. This same night,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Jeffree Star goes out on Snapchat and
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
starts talking about how he has crazy
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
receipts on James and he's going to be
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
exposing him very soon and I have to say
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
this is probably my least favorite thing
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that Jeffrey does all the time is that I
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
feel like actually does have crazy
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
blackmail against people but he only ever
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
uses it for self-interest, Like he's like
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
he has something insane like crazy
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
proof that James Charles has done
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
something beyond the pale that we don't
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
even know about yet. The only way
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
he would leak it is if it was in his
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
own benefit,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
On May 17th, Tati Westbrook post another
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
video addressing this whole situation
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
called "Why I did it" and for some reason
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
this video hasn't been archived.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I was only able to watch someone else's
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
reaction of it but basically gist that I
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
got was this was just her doubling down on
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
what she has said previously, only now she
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
wishes people wouldn't pick sides on what
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
between her and James.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But little did everyone know that that
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the next day on May 18th, James would
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
upload "No More Lies", which is probably
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the internet's biggest uno reverse.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Which nobody claims in bisister and so
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
many debunkinings and not debunkinings
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
happening in "No More Lies".
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We are just going to take it category by
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
category again. No More claims state
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of claim. Firstly, she said the ad was
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
preorchestrated. It was that Jamas talked
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to the Sugarbear hair team on the grounds
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
at Coachella, Two, James didn't give her
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
any warning before he put up the ad.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He only says something after which was not
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the case. He had screenshots of the text
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
message where he warned her in advance
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and to which she replied "I'm so hurt"
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and he gave a lengthy apology.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Three, she said James said he wouldn't
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
talk about Halo Beauty on social media or
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
his channel because he didn't want to
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
promote supplements to young kids.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is a really weird and strange lie.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Like he promoted Halo Beauty multiple
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
times and across his social media pages.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So, I am trying to understand Tati, I am
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
trying why to lie about maniscule things.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
*Inaudible
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Another one of Tati's claims was that
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
James had been using his power, influence
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and money in order to extort sexual
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
favors to people to manipulate them and J
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
James admits that he is a 19-year-old
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
virgin and that isn't the case because he
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is not fuckin but I will say this. At
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
12:40 in this video he says
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"We'll never use my fame, money, or
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
power to manipulate or get any sexual
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
actions from a guy",
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Which did not age well. When it comes to
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
this allegation in the James Charles
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
timeline, I have a little bit of a
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
question mark over it because I am not
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
sure how much damage he had done at age
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
19. But from what we know about Gage and
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Sam, the waiter, there were some strange
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
tendencies already at play.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Another claim Tati had was at her birthday
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
dinner she had tried to tell James the
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
waiter was straight and to leave him alone
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He replied saying it doesn't matter. I'm
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
so famous, right? Well , it turns out
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that was actually a lie as well, because
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
there are screenshots of James and all
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of his friends including Tati making the
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
same joke where they say "We're so famous"
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
like definitely it was not supposed to be
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a serious thing. Again, really
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
interesting. I don't understand the
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
choices to lie about something so petty,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
especially when you are overall message
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
was supposed to be about something as
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
serious as like sexual misconduct
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
allegations. And speaking of Sam, the
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
waiter, James has screenshots of their
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
conversations as well. And in these
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
screenshots you can clearly see that
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Same had actually told him straight up
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that he was bisexual. So this is where it
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
gets kind of interesting cause Sam didn't
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
mentioned this in his side of the story.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
After they agreed to stop their
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
relationship, James had blocked him.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And after this, Sam had used his friend's
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
phone to DM James from his account and
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
blocked and why he actually figured out
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that he was full gay so that he could get
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
him on a FaceTime call and record him.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Instead of talking to James about his gay
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
revelation, he asked James if he was
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
talking to Gage at the same time that they
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
were talking. At this point, Sam told
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
James that he wasn't actually gay. He was
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
just trying to get him on this phone call
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and so James hung up. But then, after the
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
call, Sam text him that he basically
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
confirmed bi, which it why in Sam's video
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you saw the screenshot of James saying
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that you are not straight, You are not
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
ever going to be straight. The sooner you
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
figure that out the better, etc. Now
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
outside of Tati's allegations, Jeffree
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Star had personally been texted James
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that he had a bunch a dirt on him and
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that he was gonna expose him for various
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
things sooner or later, And so, at this
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
point in "No More Lies", we start to
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
address that. And so Jeffree's claims are
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
as follows: Number one: that James has
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
been talking shit about him. Number two:
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that James had to try to Jeffree's
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
brother in law to like him and sent him
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
unsolicited, inappropriate pictures. And
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
thirdly, James trapped Sam the the waiter
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
in his hotel and that they were all gonna
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
get together and film a video about how
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that happened and expose. Lastly, and
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
this is the craziest one that he had tried
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to touch and molest Grayson Dolan in his
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
sleep and made him uncomfortable for
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
months. James' rebuttal to these claims
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
were that he had only talked to Jeffree's
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
brother-in-law a handful of times and
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it was nothing inappropriate. And next,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the trapping Sam in the hotel room thing
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
we know is not true because Sam. himself,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
said so. And then finally, the rebuttal
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
for the most serious and crazy allegation
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is that this is simply not true and that
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the rejection jokes that was in the
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
sister's squad videos were pretty much
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
all staged. James also claims that the
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Dolan twins were among the first to call
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
him and make sure he was alright and
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
during the initial bisister of the
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
dramageddon of it all. There weren't any
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
receipts for that. We don't really know
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
what happened between them and neither
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of the Dolan twins ever refollowed James,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
so there is that as well. We'll talk a
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
little bit more about the Dolans later
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
on. But all in all, "No More Lies"
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
changed the YouTube landscape for weeks
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and flipped the entire situation on it's
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
head. Like, never in my life have I seen
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
people switch up this fast before. And
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
despite every body being this initially
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
being on Tati's side in all of this,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
right after this video dropped, his
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
subscriber account rise again and
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
meanwhile, Tati's began to fall. Speaking
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of Tati, her immediate reponse to "No More
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lies" was to get on Twitter and say
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
things like this:
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I have left town on a digital break to
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
heal and pray for healing on all sides. My
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
family made me aware on what was just
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
posted and I am disappointed ro see
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it littered with so many lies and half
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
truths. I stand by my videos. Do not twist
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
my words to what they are not, hear the
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
message.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Dudes, can I be totally honest with you
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
guys right now? The way Tati speaks
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
like she's the Buddhist monk pisses me
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
off! She also posted a couple of
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
other Tweets but they basicaaly said the
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
same exact thing like, "Praying on all
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
sides", "Peace and love" da ba duh
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Then she goes on to like a novel length
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
post and the TLDR that I give you says:
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"I spent all the last few years building
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
up a career on honesty, integrity and
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
truth. But let me tell you guys that
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Tati is a makeup reviewer. She basically
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
says things like "I hope that our
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
community is somehow strengthened from
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
all this madness and that we will all
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
strive to hold ourselves and each other
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to a higher standard".
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Girl, what?!? Jeffree Star also
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
immediately got on Twitter and said:
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"Everyone keeps asking me for receipts...
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I have so much to say and some really sad
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and disgusting things to show you guys.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
James Charles tried to mass manipulate
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
all of you today. When I show you
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the proof and why I tweeted
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the tweet about him, you'll understand"
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and get this. Get this! Tati deletes Bye
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Sister after just typing up novels about
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
how she said she said what she said and
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
she stands by it, And she is praying for
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
everyone on all sides. I hope the
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
community gets stronger out of this.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Like she can't claim that this was for the
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
betterment of society in and then
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
take it down. She then took like a week
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and a half off of YouTube and returned
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
video called "I'm Back" and it's literally
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
just a makeup tutorial, She just pretends
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
like none of that even happened. And as
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you can see here, the audience was just
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
really confused by this, The top comment
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
literally "Tati, I stand by everything I
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
said". Also,, Tati deletes video a day
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
after the Tati video. Sam, the waiter,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
returns to the internet with a new
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
video titled "I'm sorry James Charles".
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
In it, he says that his friends and his
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
family pressured him to continue talking
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to James and even typed out some of the
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
messages to James pretending to be Sam.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He also says that they hold him to be
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
just pretend to be gay and to date James
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to get all the opportunities that would
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
come with that.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
*inaudible
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
James returned to YouTube in a very
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
pleasant audience and a very different
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
internet compared to a just a few short
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
weeks a go. By all standards, Tati's video
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
should have been that final nail
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
in the coffin and impossible to come
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
back from, but there he was an amazing
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
comeback story at the time.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
In November of 2019, Tati was still
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
trying to fully ignore what happened and
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
move on despite on not saying anything
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and then she wants to make a brand
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
called Tati Beaity and spoiler alert, both
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Tati Beauty and Halo Beauty would not
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
survive the upcoming pandemic.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And despite everything that Jeffree had
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
said about James being a disgusting
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
monster and how he had all these receipts.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He was ready to expose him. By March of
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
2020, he had done a full 180 and even
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
left us a supported comment on one of
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
James' post. I mean this is Jeffree Star
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
we are talking about so it isn't that
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
surprising. Jeffree Star, very lore heavy,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
evil man. Even then, Jeffree then posted
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a video title "Never Doing This Again"
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and I know just from that title you are
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
thinking, "What, what is he never going
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to do again?" In this video he basically
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
says, "Just because I said that I hate
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
James Charles and I want him to die
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
he's disgusting, doesn't mean I hate
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
James Charles."
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Because I said those things, that does
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that not mean that I hate James Charles.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But my personal favorite part of this
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
video is when he says there's no hate in
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
this heart..
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
There is no actual hate in this heart.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He also says that he's not going to give
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the people what they want.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He's not going to come out with receipts
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and cancel anyone today.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They want me to open up my phone and
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
expect me to expose it all.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He basically says that he was being
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
manipulated about James and being fed
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
things that wasn't necessarily true.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
There are people telling me a lot of stuff
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The video ends by him saying that he's
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
done with the tea and he's done with the
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
drama. He would then precede to have to
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and the Tati and drama for the next like
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
four years. And something important to
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
note is that during this time, both
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Jeffree and Shane Dodsan were pretty much
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
PR nightmares and there was both trying
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to like quickly clean up and do a little
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
damage control and fans found resurfaced
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
images and videos of them doing various
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
problematic things. And, imagine that as
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Jeffree Star's fans are demanding him to
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
take accountability for some old
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
problematic stuff. He decides it's time
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to rewrite history a little bit when
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it comes to his loyalty to James Charles.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Meanwhile, Shane Dolsan was having a
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
much harder time dealing with facing
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
his actions, because the thing about Shane
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Dolsan is that he crumbles. He crumbles
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
under pressure. Meanwhile, Jeffree
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Star, like I don't want to harm
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
psychology him, but he like might actually
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
be a psychopath. He is able to lie himself
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
out of any situation. Just like that.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Easy, simple. But this guy having to face
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the ramifications of let's see. Let's
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
check our notes. Umm..
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Black face. Racist characters.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Said the n-word. Said very various
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
other slurs. Various instances of
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
sexualizing minors and etc. There
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
was so much backlash with this that
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
YouTube temporarily demonatized Shane's
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
channel, which is really funny because it
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
all comes back to him not being able to
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
handle the heat. Like Jeffree Star's
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
channel, fine. What did Jeffree Star do?
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
A lot. Pretty similar things actually, but
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
he could take the heat and so imagine
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you are on your tenth Youtube apology
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
pretty much and you have a bunch of
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
dirty little bug bites al over your neck
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
ok and you have scabies and you're
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
salivating *hag
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I am so sorry that I sexualized Will
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Smith. Nobody gives a f***!
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Shane Dolsan f******cry.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Shane Dolson, that is your mindset ok.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You are going just a little bit loopy
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
already and then June 30th, Tati drops
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a video called "Breaking My Silence".
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And in this video, Tati says that she
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
was coerced into making bisister by
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Shane Dolsan and Jeffree Star.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I made it as a result of all of the
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
poisonous lies that were fed to me by
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Shane Dawson and Jeffree Star.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Fuck! This is so Netflix short little
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
special coded, limited series. There you
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
go! That's the fucking word. So Tati says
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that she's apologized to James Charles
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and that they met up together in private
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and compared screenshots that they have
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
from both Jeffree and Shane
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and come to the conclusion that this
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
whole thing was a mass
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
manipulation from both of them.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And according to Tati, she learned
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that being friends with Jeffree Star
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is like being friends with a lion.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I learned that being friends with Jeffree
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Star like being friends with a lion. He
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
may have been dangerous but he was always
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
really kind to me.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Mind you, anybody at any age can be
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
manipulated. This is a very true.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
However, in my opinion, there is no way
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that she's not at least partially
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
responsible for some of this. And I can't
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
stress this enough okay. Don't freak out.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Don't freak out. Every character in this
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
story sucks. We have our main character,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
predator backing in oven. We got racist
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
guy #1. We have a racist guy # 2 and at
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
least, petty vitamin woman. So on this v
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
video Tati makes a series of new claims,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
okay. So, first off, she says that when
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
she met Jeffree Star, she knew he had a
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
controversial past but that she took it
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
among herself to try to make him a better
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
person and that get him involved with her
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
favorite charity, which did not work. She
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
also claims to have known nothing about
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Shane Dawson's past and that she
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
did no research on him like all she knew
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that he was the "most adored documentarian
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
on YouTube".
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I wish I had educated myself and I was
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
aware of his earlier content.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
In my opinion, this truly doesn't add up
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
because we are talking about Shane *gasp
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Dawson. But anyways, she goes on to say
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that Shane told her that he was making
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a documentary about the beauty community.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and that it is rapidly developing and
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
rapidly changing due to new information
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that Jeffree Star had collected on
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
James Charles. She said it was Shane's
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
idea to make bisister and even went as
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
far as to offer to edit it for her.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And when Tati hesitated, he sent her
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a voice memo about an alleged victim of
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
James.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It wasn't enough for me to contact the
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
authorities. It was enough to scare me.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Jeffree and Shane claimed that as soon as
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
she posted bisister, a plethora of
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
victims were going to come forward.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But then they never did. Tati goes on
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to theorize that Shane and Jeffree
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
actually orchestrated this whole thing
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
as a plot to destroy James because they
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
were jealous of his career trajectory and
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
they wanted as much attention as possible
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
when they released their collaborative
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
palette the "Conspiracy palette". She then
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
gets super tin-foiled-atty at the end and
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
says that she believes that there were
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
many more players involved to
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
orchestrate this whole thing, and that it
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is not a coincidence that after the whole
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
fallout, Morphe came out with gummy
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
vitamins.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I do not think it is a coincidence that
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Morphe is about to launch their own
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
brand of hair and nail gummy vitamins.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I have beef with every single one of
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
these people. Like we can grab. I don't
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
give a shit. But Tati, even though she is
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
not the biggest villain here by far,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
really irks me because I feel like she
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
acted completely out of selfishness.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I agree that it is plausible to have
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
been manipulated by Shane ad Jeffree,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
like especially Jeffree. But if Tati
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
truly, truly believed that the allegations
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that Shane and Jeffree were telling her
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
were real and that serious, why did she
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
make the majority of bisister about gummy
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
vitamins? Why did she falsely accuse him
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of sexually harassing waiter amongst other
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
things. Conclusively, the entire video
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
was based on somebody else's lies, but
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
she double downed on it multiple times
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
over the course of several months and
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
holds virtually no accountability for
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
causing the cultural switch against James,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
who at this point, she is saying is
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
completely innocent. And like above all
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
else, I think the biggest issue is the
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
fact that she says that there's a voice
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
memo that is damning enough
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that warranted her going through
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
with that public flogging, yet now
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
she is saying wait! That wasn't real.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And the question you might be asking
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
right now is what the fuck is in the
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
voice memo? Well, it's currently 2024 and
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
we still don't have the answer to that.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But there's been a ton of speculation
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
as to who it is. A lot of people theorize
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that it's Grace and Dolan since Jeffree
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
made that claim about James molesting
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
him in his sleep. People also think this
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
because by the cultural shift back to
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
liking James, the Dolan twins still
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
haven't followed him back or even
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
publicly spoke to him but I'm not saying
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that I believe this. This is just a
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
theory. I hope that's not true. With
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Jeffree Star though, it is really hard to
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
tell what is actually true and
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
what's total bunk, because he seems to
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
always merge partial truths with lies.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And so it's like okay, part of this
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
could be true but that might not make the
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
entire story have validity. But in the
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
aftermath of the breaking my silence
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
video, Shane Dawson gets on a Intagram
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
live stream and starts like tweaking.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is insane! This is insane! This
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
woman is like a fucking, omg!
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This entire live stream consists of him
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
calling Tati a liar and running around
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
his house like he just drank iced coffee
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and he has to take a shit.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I can't, I can't. I don't want to say mean
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
things about people. This is insane.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is insane.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's actually hilarious because I love
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
shaming Shane Dawson while he's down
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and I would again. For legal purposes this
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is a joke, but I wish that we could
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
collectively blast Shane Dawson into the
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
sun. James Just responds to all this
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
public freaking out that's just a tweet
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that says "love you guys!"
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
All this same day, Trisha
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
also uploaded a video called "Tati's dumb
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
as hell" which I only mentioning because
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it is so off the cuff and untethered.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And to summarize it in one clip:
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"I was beyond gaslit, no we are just
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
stupid".
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
In the following days, Morphe cut ties
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
with Jeffree Star.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Morphe said they made the decision
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to cease all commercial activity related
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to Jeffree Star and related products
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
within the coming in the coming weeks.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And in the April 20th, he would go on
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
mom's basement podcast and reaffirm
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to keep Team Star that James Charles
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is a monster and that he still has the
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
voice memo of the alleged victim but
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
doesn't want to publicly out them.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Yet 2 months later, on July 18th, 2020,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
he would release a video called "Doing
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
what's right" and in this video Jeffree
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
says a whole lot of f***** up.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He's like "Hey guys, I am not going
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
cancel anyone today. Sorry, I am not
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
coming in with steaming hot tea today
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
ya'll."
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Today I will not be sitting her showing
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a million texts messages and all these
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
things that allegedly are out there.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He goes on to say that he's done with
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
all the drama and that's there bigger
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
things in the world to worry about and
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I honestly forgot that this apology
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
happened in 2020. So I was sent into a
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
whole whiplash when I heard him
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
say that we need to focus on Black Lives
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Matter. Okay, back up. We are backing up.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Jeffree, first of all, you've made a lot
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of claims buddy, and now you are coming
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
on your being like sorry, I am not
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
involved in any of this drama, "Drama",
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
when it is something supposedly serious.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And then you are deflecting the
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
conversation on to Black Lives Matter?
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What? What? He literally uses murdered
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
people of color to take the attention off
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of him, making claims that James is
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a predator.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Black trans men are being murdered
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
every day and the news is silent.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Like, there are no words to describe this
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
chat. Are they words to describe this?
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Are there words for something so
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
despicable? James is kind of like a
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
predator and a danger to society. But
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that's like drama though. It's kind of
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
like "Hi, everybody. Welcome back to my
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
channel". The Freudian Slip. Meanwhile,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
right after this whole Jeffree podcast
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
debacle, James Charles goes on impulsive
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
which is even Jake Paul's or Logan Paul's
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Podcast. I don't know because I use their
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
names interchangeably and I don't know
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
who's who but this podcast seems chill
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and it seems inconsequential at first.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But then James starts dropping bombs
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
left and right, like let me show you some
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
bullet points of what this man publicly
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
admits. A little over an hour into
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the interview, James claims that he is
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
far more mature than other people his age.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
By the way, he's currently 21 in this
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
interview. Then he then goes on to say
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that he's just not attracted to older
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
men and the absolute lowest that he would
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
date was either 18 or 19 but looks a
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
little bit older and he says the absolute
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
lowest that he would date
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The absolute youngest, like 18, 19, that
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
looks a little bit older.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is already more than a little
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
questionable, like what is the point of
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
dating somebody who is 18 or 19 but
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
looks a little bit older. What is the
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
point of them being 18 and you just
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
said that you are more mature than
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
everyone else your age. So, why do you
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
want to date somebody more immature.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But as if that wasn't bad enough, a few
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
minutes later he goes on to say something
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
even weirder. He says that he tried to
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
fly boys out to LA because a lot
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of them don't have any money or they
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
are still in high school or I mean a
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
senior in high school.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Because you can't afford a plane ticket,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you are probably still in either in high
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
school or still in college, a senior in
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
high school or in college.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Oh, so you really said that. Hmmm, and
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
who makes mistakes like that.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
There's Madeline here who. Who makes
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that kind of mistake and it's a probably
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a minor. Admitting to outsourcing
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
teenagers from other states at the age
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of 21 is crazy. And they didn't even have
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to waterboard that out of him.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
By the way, might I mention that nobody
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
had a negative response to this? Like
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the boys on this podcast are just like
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Oh, yeah! Totally! Maybe they just felt
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
awkward or wanted to keep the peace. Like
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
didn't know what to say. But damn, if that
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
was me, I would have a visceral,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
uncontrollable reaction like what? And
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
not to be to be grossed ok. But like
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
these bold boys that he's outsourcing are
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
are literally the same age as his little
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
brother. Like does he see his brother
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
as in an equal when it comes to maturity
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and growth. Oh yeah, and last question.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Have you seen every person on Earth
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that is your same age or a little bit
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
older than you. Have you? How have you
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
already determined that you're not
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
attracted to people older than you.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
There's people that older than all of
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
us that just look youthful. So what is it
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
really about, James? The last thing I
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
want to say about this interview, because
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I can honestly talk about it forever, is
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that he also claims that he wouldn't date
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a fan in it.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You wouldn't date a fan?
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
No.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Just remember that ok?
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
On September 1, 2020, James would do a
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
collab with Emma Chamberlain, and this was
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the first time that these two would
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
reunite since before dramageddon. In an
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
interview with the paparazzi, Emma also
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
said that her and James weren't in a
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
really good place. But when asked about
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the Dolan twins, she basically says
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"Don't hold your breath".
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
With the Dolan twins that if
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
everybody can get on the same page?
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
No promises.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
On September 16, 2020, James would have a
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
mini controversy over some allegedly
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
stolen designs. Now as you can see here,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
this is a color block, Sister's merch
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
hoodie, okay. And now let's compare it
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to a hoodie that was originally designed
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
by Teddy Fresh, a.k.a. H Threes brand.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Well obviously, James' says Sister on the
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
front and this one just has like a red
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
square that says the fresh.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The sweater is the exact color grading.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Like it's the exact same shades and the
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
exact same spots. And when James was
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
confronted about this, he said he had
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
never heard of their brand before. Despite
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the fact that people were quick to point
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
out that one of James' best friends, Lorai
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
had pictures in that exact Teddy Fresh
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
hoodie on his Instagram and was even
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
featured on the Teddy Fresh Instagram
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
page. And like, obviously, no one owns
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
colors. But the fact that they were the
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
exact same shades and the same areas.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's just a suspicious set of lace.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Also, just generally speaking, James'
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
hoodie is just really ugly.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
In October, James got his very own
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
YouTube original show called Instant
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Influencer and it was a competition where
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
amateur influencers competed for
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a $10,000 video setup, a collab with
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
James Charles, and $50,000 cash.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And the sheriff evolved around doing
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
different challenges. One very noteworthy
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
one is in episode where they do an
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
apology video challenge.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I just really want to apologize and I
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
want to change. *Sob Sob
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Just, just terribly ironic and if I
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
can be completely honest with you guys
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
right now. If I had just one teeny James
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Charles wish on a star. It would be that
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Instant Influencer could come back but
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
obviously with a different host, because
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
this show is actually good. Like
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
literally, YouTube, can we get somebody
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
else, literally anybody else to host the
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
show. I've throw a shower. Let's go!
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Of course, I already spoiled this for you
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but the show does not exist anymore.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And I'm sure you already guessed why.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
In February of 2021, a minor came forward
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and alleged that James asked him for
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
totally explicit photos and videos over
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Snapchat. The minor questioned, posted a
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Tik Tok where he explained that he had
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
previously dmed James because he was a
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
fan.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Prove it to you right now. This is the
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
notification that I got when he snapchated
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
me first and this is further proof that
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
he deleted the chat in a way to deleted.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
That's totally in his Snapchat.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And so he began sending snaps back and
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
forth and one day, James saw that he was
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
in the bathroom, so he began making the
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
conversation very sexual.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So, he started making the conversation
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
very and sexual and really got
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
uncomfortable.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Saying disgusting things like "Take a
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
video of yourself in the shower" and "Can
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I see your muscles and hair". He then
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
began sending nudes of himself, which
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I cannot show you, but I tell you why
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
this. It is very clearly James Charles'
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
musty BBL booty. Once he sent these nudes,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the victim told him that he was only 16,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to which James allegedly replied, "Oh,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but I haven't seen your dick yet". Then
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
after saying he didn't want to send nudes
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
James kept hounding him for them anyways.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Like, for example, in this screenshot here
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
he says, "It would literally take you 30
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
seconds to take a pic like this, awww".
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
James would later claim that the boy
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
told him that he was 18. In a Notes app
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
response on Twitter. And until the art in
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
lame Twitter notes app thing is that James
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
said that the boy messaged him excitedly,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
telling him he loved him. And so, he began
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
talking to him without asking for ID.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And I find this really interesting
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
because he just said on the impulsive
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Podcast that he did not want to date a
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
fan, but in conclusion he says, "I will
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
know be asking everybody for IDs. The
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
fact that he's like, I'm still going to
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
DM questionably young people but I am
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
still going to be asking for IDs now is
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
crazy. Also, even if they are 18, like I
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
said, seeking out a barely legal
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
18-year-old is creepy. Jeebs!
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
How does it make it ok? This is still
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
your teenage 18. That's a teenager fan.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Also in February, yet another underage
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
fan came forward. This time it was a
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
14-year-old and he also said that James
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
sent him unsolicited nudes and
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
inappropriate videos of himself. This boy
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
alleges that he reached out to James
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Charles on a dare, not expecting James
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to answer of course, but when he did,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
he got very excited. Of course, this is
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a famous person so, he wants to talk to
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
him. James then added him on Snapchat.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Are you seeing a pattern?
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Are you seeing this? He claims that James
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
kept pressuring him to come out to LA
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and that he was also trying to get him
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to question his sexuality. And remember
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that Impulsive Interview?
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Even they confess that they can't afford
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a plane ticket. It's like ok but I can.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So, get on the plane.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Wow, this alleged victim literally thought
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that he was speaking about him in that
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
segment. Also, big shout out to Paige
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Christie. I was literally only able to
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
find this information from her video. Like
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
so much of this has been just like
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
scrubbed from the internet, like Big
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
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
like: "I'll say without a shadow of a
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
doubt. James Charles in the only creator
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that deserves to be banned and stripped
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
from all social platform. He's abusing by
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
sexting with minors!!! Repeated behavior
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
happening as recent as a few days ago.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is an actual predator/pedophile.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I have to say I'm completely agree
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and I don't know if he's the only one,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But I do completely agree that he should
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
not be on Tik Tok or YouTube or Instagram.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Like, and it just gets worse. On April 1,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
James would upload "Holding myself
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
accountable in response to all of these
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
allegations". Yes, it's true he posted a
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
response to grooming allegations on April
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
1st. Now this video makes me mad from
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
beginning to end. He basically says he
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
trusted the information that was given
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to him rather than the info that he
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
could've or should've gotten himself.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And yeah, that's true, but I feel like
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
he's immediately deflecting from the
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
fact that even what you thought you were
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
doing is wrong. James then goes on to
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
list being desperate for the reason for
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
why he makes all these dating faux paus.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And it is ridiculously embarrassing to
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
admit this but I'm desperate.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And then he starts bracingly lying like
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
outright like a dog, lying. He says that I
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
will partially quote so that I don't have
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to play like a long clip and get
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
copyrighted or something. It's really
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
looking like I'm an actively searching for
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
younger people to be in a relationship
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
with and that's absolutely not the case.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
My hope is that it always been in
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a relationship with somebody around my
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
age or older.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Hey, wait a minute! Isn't this the exact
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
opposite thing of what you said earlier
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
this year.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'm not physically attracted to older
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
guys which sucks.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He concludes the video with a detailed
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
description of how he came to the
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
realization that him talking to fans
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
created a power imbalance and that from
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the get go he should of never had these
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
conversations to begin with because he
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
ignored red flags. Wave the red flags is
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
IOU. I have to saw is while this apology
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
video is definitely not is well received
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and we will talk about it in a second.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He is pretty clever. I will say that.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
His use of language really disassociates
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
himself with the facts of everything. He
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
says, for example.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And for that, for the example, so, so
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
sorry.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Okay, these are kids and these are not
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
just victims, they're your victims.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Ironically, holding myself accountable
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
would later be deleted. Later that month,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Morphee would release a statement saying
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that they are permanently cutting ties
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
with James. But in the eyes of a lot of
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
fans, this was too little too late.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
In light of the recent allegations against
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
James Charles, Morphee and James
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
have agreed to leave and our business
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
relationship and wine down sales of the
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Morphe x James Charles product offering.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It is and has always been Morphe's goal
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to create a positive, safe and
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
empowering space for all beauty lovers can
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
freely share their artistry and passion
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
for cosmetics. And Morphe is fully
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
committed in furthering that goal. I don't
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
know too much about PR but fuck all
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
if that wasn't really bad. First of all,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
waited weeks to say anything and
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
when they finally did, they were
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
like we and James have decided to scale
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
back. Like, what do you mean we? Fans
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
were also quick to point out that all the
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
James Charles products were still being
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
sold at full price on their website. This
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
same week, YouTube announced that they
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
would be temporarily demonetizing James'
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
channel and as a result of all this, James
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
took a four month break off of social
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
media. When he returned he posted a
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
selfie on Instagram and announced that he
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
just posted a video called "An Open
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Conversation" and I will say that this is
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
incredible on brand the worst way. Now the
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
comments on "An Open Conversation" are
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
so funny and this is this is the first
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
time that I have truly felt and notice
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that there were so many people just done
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
with him. Like this video only has six
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
million views and I know that that's a
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
lot still, but in comparison to other
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
videos, even such as taking accountability
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
there was a huge dip in viewership. And
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
these people made the right call for
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
obvious reasons, and were also
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
fortunate enough to not bear witness to
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
this video turning into a makeup get ready
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
with me at the 4 minute mark.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
An you guys know I posted my
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"Holding Myself Accountable" video.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Absolutely dystopian fear. Getting sued!
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
In the following month of May, a former
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
employee of James, named Kelly Rocklein
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
sued James for wrongful termination.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And, let me just read you one of these
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
headlines so you can get the full gravity
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of this situation.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
James Charles' ex-employee speaks out
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
about lawsuit, claiming he didn't pay
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
overtime and asked her to shave his
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
butt. Ummmmm.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
To get into the nitty gritty, the
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
specifics of the suit though, she
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
alleges that one, James had her working
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
12-hour days, seven days a week. Two,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that when she was promoted from video
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
editor to producer, he didn't hire
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
anybody to take over the former
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
position, so she was left doing both.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Three, she was not paid overtime for
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
any of this, and four, that she had
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
suffered a head injury in front of James
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Charles. To quote this business insider
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
article directly, the head injury resulted
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
in her experiencing headaches,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
temporarily loss of consciousness,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
confusion, amnesia and other ailments,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
according to the complaint. She alleges
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Charles was not sympathetic to her
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
recovery needs and callously accused her
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of not being dedicated to her job as a
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
result of her work being delayed when
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
she was hospitalized. And right after
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Kelly returned from being hospitalized,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
she was fired, despite never having
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
received negative feedback. Kelly also
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
alleges that James used the n-word in
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
front of her with the R & R and everything
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
More on the ass situation, Kelly says
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that James walked around the house naked
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and call her names like "bitch" and once
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
texted her, "Kelly, I need help shaving
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
my butt in preparation for a revealing
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Coachella outfit. James ha since publicly
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
denied all of this in a lengthy Twitter
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
video.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Just the craziest claims you can ever
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
imagine.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But the suit is still ongoing.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Although, I will say I can totally see him
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
doing all these things. Kelly, get behind
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
me. 2022 was a relatively quiet year for
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
this MF. Like, his only controversy was
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
talking on Instagram and twerking while
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
talked which resulted in him losing
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
130,000 followers in a day and I won't
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
show you that video here because you don't
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
deserve that. Everybody say "Thank you
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Nikki!" And by the way, if you didn't
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
unfollow him for the groping but you did
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
for the talking and the twerking, I don't
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
know. It might be time for me to take
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you out behind the barn and shoot you.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Since May 6, 2023, Morphe would end up
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
closing all of it's stores and this was a
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
crazy thing to happen for anybody who was
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
really into makeup in 2019 and 2020.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Like, it was a very popular store to the
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
point where it was valued at $2 billion at
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it's peak, but the company had made the
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
unfortunate decision of fully investing
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
into James Charles and Jeffree Starr to
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
be the focal point of their stores,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
especially James, like seriously I did not
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
know what the hell Morphe was before his
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
palette. The brand name had kind of become
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
synonymous with James, like he was their
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
most successful product. In other words,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
James Charles is virtually the reason why
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Morphe died. Like, that is very crazy to
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
think about. Bro brought down an entire
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
industry. On July 13, 2023, Cosmopolitan
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
published an article about James titled
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"James Charles would like to be
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
uncancelled, please". This article, quite
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
frankly, is a blasphemous peace of trash.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Honestly, the woman who wrote it,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Gabrielle Bluestone should have to serve
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
public service for 6 months, just for
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
writing this shit, because it is so foul
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you need to picking things up on the
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
highway. Get out of here. Let me just
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
read you a direct quote from here.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's no surprise that a star's willingness
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to answer any intimate questions about a
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
catastrophic stretch of their lives,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
including pieces dramatically when they
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
have a project to promote. In today's
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
case, that is ostensibly Charles' new
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
makeup line "Painted". But it's also
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Charles himself. This very interview is to
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
be a triplum. It's reception, the answer
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to the question both of us and maybe
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you, too. If what auto-populates in
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Google search can be believed, are here to
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
ask, "Is James Charles still cancelled?"
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So, that alone, basically self-diagnoses
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
itself that it purely exists for James to
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
win over public brownie points, so that
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
his new makeup line can do better.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Bluestone also writes, "When I pulled
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
friends and colleagues about Charles in
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the run-up to this state, the general
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
consensus was that he had done
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
something bad, but no one was clear on
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
exactly what. This to me feels like her
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
claiming that these random civilians in
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
her office not knowing what James Charles
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
did is evidence that he hasn't done
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
anything that serious or at least less
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
serious than people are making it out to
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
be. Would is a real logical hootenanny,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I tell you that. The article then goes on
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to say the wildest like, like...
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
My cat's looking at me. He's more cautious
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
now, although not so much that he's giving
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
up on the DM sliding completely. Instead,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
he started requiring potential romantic
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
interests to provide ids before he'll
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
engage. I'm a club bouncer at this point,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
he says, which even still hasn't stopped
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the occasional breach of trust.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Earlier this year, a TikTok user shared
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
snippets of a flirtatious conversation he
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
had with Charles and which outlines his
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
requirements for a boyfriend. Charles
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
also tells me he recently caught a
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
17-year-old trying to lie about his age by
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
taking out a digit on his ID. And when she
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
asked James why, he wouldn't just use a
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
regular dating app to find a partner, he
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
basically says that he feels to exposed
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
on apps and that anybody can take a screen
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
shot of his profile and brag and tell
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
their friends about it. Ummm and ahhh,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but ummm, I don't know how to say this
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
nicely so, Are you stupid? How is talking
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to people on social media any less risky
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
than using a dating app. The article just
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
got done saying that somebody leaked a
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
private DM on to the internet that was
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
from Instagram. It wasn't from a dating
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
app. It's also from a dating app you can
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
instantly verify like somebody's age. You
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
can investigate whether or not there are
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
catfish. You can investigate their social
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
media, if they have a link to the profile.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And so, at this point, I really have no
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
choice to assume that this isn't just
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
stupidity. It's malicious. Because you
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
know who's not on dating apps? Minors!
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
In September of 2023, James was seen
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
asking for a 17-year-old's age on a
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
TikTok live stream. And I mean, do I even
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
have to say anything? This is a direct
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
result of the same repeated behavior over
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and over again. I found this clip from
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Frenemies of all places that kind of
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
perfectly summarizes how I feel about
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
this.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Because you know what? These people
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
who are sick like this? They keep doing
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it, but sick people can't help themselves
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but do it again.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
A normal person would have stopped. A
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
predator cannot help themselves.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
In January of 2024, another boy would
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
come forward with claims that James had
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
talked to him inappropriately while he was
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a minor, and this boy actually has a
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
screen shot of James sliding in his DMs
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and saying "Age Check!".
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He dmmed me that and I responded and I
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
said, " I am a very mature 16."
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And, something that made me very sad
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
about this TikTok, where he talks about
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
all the inappropriate conversations that
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
they had was that had he says "I know
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I shouldn't have been talking to him like
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that. I know I had no business talking to
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
him like this.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Now I understand, right off the bat,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I shouldn't be talking like that or
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
chatting to like entice them.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It is just self-blaming of it all. It's
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
just.. It's said. Please allow me to just
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
like armchair/psychology this man for a
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
moment. James keeps getting himself into
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
these situations, right? And he blames it
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
on the fact that he can't meet people and
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the way normal people can, but
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
riddle me this? Why is he the only person
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
with this problem. Like, do you know
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
how many gay influencers are in L.A. that
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
do not have this issue? Do you know how
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
many people, in general, just don't have
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
this issue? And I think what makes James
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
especially dangerous to be online is that
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
when he talks, he doesn't seem like a
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
manipulative monster. Quite the contrary,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
actually. He's very well put together. He
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
can seem fun. He can seem creative and I
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
feel that that leaves his audience extra
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
susceptible to him. And to be honest at
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
this point, I think the only people that
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
start to watch him are younger teens that
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
just genuinely don't even know any of
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
this happened. James literally committed
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a crime and he's not in jail. So, saying
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that he should leave all social media is a
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
very light, light sentence. Like, my
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
brother in Christ, he should be in jail,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but he can't even do that and he's still
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
using social media the same way that
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
he's always has, as if none of this even
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
happened. It's ridiculous and as of was,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I can't help but wonder why with people.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I desperately want answers where there
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
are none like all of the time. And so when
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it comes to people like James, I look at
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
pictures of them from when they were
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
younger. I think about how in this video.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
James is just a few years younger than
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
somebody who he would prey on. It's so
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
disturbing that it almost makes me feel
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
bad for the person, because they
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
live as a piece of shit every day. To me,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to be so schemey and strange and creepy
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
seems very tiring. And this is just
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a side tangent, but I always think about,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
as somebody who has been through grooming,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is like no matter what, I would always
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
choose to be the victim rather than be
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the person that hurts people. That's
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
just some food for thought. Like the idea
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of being this person is ewwww!
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
That is about all I have for today though.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
That is about all i can stomach.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Ummm, thank you so much for watching and
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
if you would like to see more videos, like
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
in this format, that would be cool.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I really do like, like putting together
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
all these slide shows. Big thank you
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to my patrons! You guys are awesome!
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I appreciate you so much and it is
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
actually, really wonderful to see so many
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
people connect into a little
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
community and the discord. You guys
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
are amazing. Before we go though, I also
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
did want to talk a little bit about
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a fundraiser that I started about 2
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
weeks ago, called "Creators for
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Palestine". This fundraiser is now
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
comprised of over a hundred creators and
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
we have so far raised over $700,000 for
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Palestinian relief, which is insane.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Um, I did not expect this many amazing
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
people to get involved for us to actually
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
have a goal this large. Um, if you
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
like to support us, we are actually doing
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a huge live stream on Thursday, the 30th.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I believe this video is coming out on a
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Monday so this is just a few days away.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If you want to show your support, sharing,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
or donating, that would be amazing.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Thank you so much for taking that time to
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
listen to me and, um, I will see you guys
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
very soon.
