1
00:00:00,481 --> 00:00:02,689
James Charles, a name so chilling

2
00:00:03,390 --> 00:00:05,201
that it requires a trigger warning.

3
00:00:05,966 --> 00:00:07,227
Trigger warning: James Charles.

4
00:00:08,171 --> 00:00:10,522
You can say a lot of things about
James Charles.

5
00:00:10,993 --> 00:00:11,951
Most of them are bad.

6
00:00:12,300 --> 00:00:13,492
Like, really bad.

7
00:00:14,290 --> 00:00:16,879
But objectively, he is one of the most
well-known

8
00:00:17,423 --> 00:00:19,795
influencers from the last 10 years.

9
00:00:20,091 --> 00:00:21,814
And because of how much exposure

10
00:00:22,527 --> 00:00:25,492
and business success he saw
over the years,

11
00:00:26,325 --> 00:00:30,396
James Charles is truly somebody who
could have had it all

12
00:00:30,923 --> 00:00:34,150
if only he wasn't a piece of shit.

13
00:00:34,442 --> 00:00:37,714
If you're watching this video, odds are
you've heard of James,

14
00:00:38,132 --> 00:00:40,826
or you've at least heard of his infamy.

15
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,161
You may have had the petrifying
experience

16
00:00:43,420 --> 00:00:46,299
of seeing his BBL or hearing him say

17
00:00:46,863 --> 00:00:47,443
"Hi sisters!"

18
00:00:49,304 --> 00:00:52,100
This guy's digital footprint has 
some of the funniest

19
00:00:52,665 --> 00:00:55,566
and grossest shit I have ever seen.

20
00:00:55,838 --> 00:00:59,793
Because as we'll get into, he is a massive
creepo, freako,

21
00:01:00,153 --> 00:01:00,879
womp womp.

22
00:01:02,337 --> 00:01:03,536
It is quite a tale.

23
00:01:03,978 --> 00:01:08,377
So allow me to take you on an Unhinged
James Charles Deepdive.

24
00:01:19,333 --> 00:01:22,520
James Charles (or James Charles
Dickinson)

25
00:01:22,962 --> 00:01:27,638
was born on May 3rd, 1999 in Bethlehem,
New York.

26
00:01:28,064 --> 00:01:31,330
And he is Emily Dickinson's third cousin
twice removed -

27
00:01:31,673 --> 00:01:34,003
ignore that, it was a lie, I just lied.

28
00:01:34,294 --> 00:01:37,062
In 2010, at the age of 11, he started his

29
00:01:37,298 --> 00:01:40,376
very first YouTube channel called
JaysCoding.

30
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,507
This channel mostly consisted of him
covering songs like

31
00:01:44,769 --> 00:01:45,577
"Pumped Up Kicks".

32
00:01:46,056 --> 00:01:49,732
♫ "You better run, better run
faster than my bullet." ♫

33
00:01:49,914 --> 00:01:51,686
"Before He Cheats" by Carrie Underwood.

34
00:01:51,941 --> 00:01:55,253
♫ "Carved my name
into his leather seats." ♫

35
00:01:55,728 --> 00:01:58,677
But most notably, this 
"It Will Rain" cover

36
00:01:58,971 --> 00:02:00,036
where he's wearing this wolf hat.

37
00:02:00,233 --> 00:02:03,286
♫ "- morphine at my door." ♫

38
00:02:03,456 --> 00:02:05,601
And although these childhood videos are
wholesome,

39
00:02:05,872 --> 00:02:08,078
this would be the start
of a very troubling

40
00:02:08,305 --> 00:02:10,975
pattern of him
singing unprompted.

41
00:02:11,196 --> 00:02:16,710
Although my personal favorite video
that I found on JaysCoding

42
00:02:17,233 --> 00:02:20,747
was this six-second upload of just
a image of an eye.

43
00:02:20,981 --> 00:02:24,057
Like, bro really uploaded an
image to YouTube,

44
00:02:24,294 --> 00:02:26,143
and that is so of the time.

45
00:02:26,588 --> 00:02:30,812
But in 2015, he would launch his second
and main channel

46
00:02:31,062 --> 00:02:33,330
that we know today as James Charles.

47
00:02:33,967 --> 00:02:37,060
And this is where he started uploading
makeup tutorials, such as

48
00:02:37,327 --> 00:02:42,771
serpent makeup tutorial and
Snapchat Galaxy makeup tutorial.

49
00:02:42,995 --> 00:02:47,572
And as you can see, none of these look
particularly good.

50
00:02:47,915 --> 00:02:51,041
In fact, they're pretty bad,
but I assure you

51
00:02:51,253 --> 00:02:54,644
everyone's makeup looked
really bad in 2015,

52
00:02:54,925 --> 00:02:56,984
so that really means nothing I guess.

53
00:02:57,202 --> 00:03:01,432
But he was gaining a really decent
audience from posting these tutorials.

54
00:03:01,666 --> 00:03:05,813
But the inciting incident, the
catalyst that would launch

55
00:03:06,322 --> 00:03:11,322
James Charles' career, happened in
September of 2016.

56
00:03:11,736 --> 00:03:17,803
And this moment would have irreversible
repercussions on society and the Internet.

57
00:03:18,114 --> 00:03:20,256
James was 17 years old at this point,

58
00:03:20,524 --> 00:03:23,337
and he had just taken his senior photos,

59
00:03:23,611 --> 00:03:26,135
which came out fugly according to him.

60
00:03:26,418 --> 00:03:29,618
And so he hired the school
photographer to come back

61
00:03:29,916 --> 00:03:33,159
and let him retake the pictures
with his ring light.

62
00:03:33,395 --> 00:03:37,460
And as you can see here, his highlight is
definitely going off,

63
00:03:37,699 --> 00:03:40,952
his brows have a good
Roblox look to them.

64
00:03:41,323 --> 00:03:44,789
However, where I draw the line is
that man bun.

65
00:03:45,159 --> 00:03:46,396
What the f**k?

66
00:03:46,675 --> 00:03:48,984
Anyways, his friend convinces
him to post these

67
00:03:49,233 --> 00:03:54,705
new glamorous pictures online
and they go extremely viral.

68
00:03:54,943 --> 00:03:57,723
Like, this picture of James
was being shared

69
00:03:57,995 --> 00:04:01,510
so much that CoverGirl noticed it.

70
00:04:01,742 --> 00:04:06,089
And that is how he became the world's
first male CoverGirl.

71
00:04:06,351 --> 00:04:11,792
Now because this was 2016, it stirred
controversy amongst conservatives.

72
00:04:12,295 --> 00:04:13,354
And, you know, of course it did

73
00:04:13,593 --> 00:04:17,116
because it's CoverGirl, not "CoverDong".

74
00:04:17,343 --> 00:04:20,113
Seriously, though, I found this
old Twitter thread

75
00:04:20,428 --> 00:04:23,470
where people are just bitching about this
like there's no tomorrow.

76
00:04:23,793 --> 00:04:25,637
A great example is this one:

77
00:04:26,125 --> 00:04:31,948
<i>reads tweet.</i>

78
00:04:36,889 --> 00:04:38,993
There's also this one where
a woman compares

79
00:04:39,383 --> 00:04:43,694
James being on CoverGirl to a white
person doing blackface.

80
00:04:44,155 --> 00:04:46,645
Um... Nurse, she's out again!

81
00:04:46,808 --> 00:04:50,329
Anyways, outisde of these randos making
a stink out of it,

82
00:04:50,628 --> 00:04:53,082
this opened up a lot of opportunities

83
00:04:53,323 --> 00:04:53,772
for James.

84
00:04:54,149 --> 00:04:58,162
I mean, he went on Ellen, I guess that's 
not that impressive, though.

85
00:04:58,437 --> 00:05:02,548
As I mentioned in the Jojo Siwa video, you
could literally fart into a bucket

86
00:05:02,838 --> 00:05:06,116
and somehow make it on Ellen at this
point in time.

87
00:05:06,340 --> 00:05:08,493
And as his fame was escalating,

88
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,130
he did his first-ever fan meet.

89
00:05:11,497 --> 00:05:14,189
Only 50 people showed up to this event,

90
00:05:14,432 --> 00:05:16,509
and one of the videos that was taken there

91
00:05:16,732 --> 00:05:19,217
was turned into a meme because at

92
00:05:19,355 --> 00:05:24,739
some point James just sat down on the
ground and started singing.

93
00:05:24,896 --> 00:05:33,336
♫ Bring me a little water now! 
Bring me little water, Sylvie!♫

94
00:05:33,464 --> 00:05:36,850
I don't know what my favorite part about
this meme is. It might be

95
00:05:37,085 --> 00:05:39,602
the Snapchat caption that says "f**k it up"

96
00:05:39,887 --> 00:05:43,237
which insinuates that he's doing a good
job singing right now.

97
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,470
Or it could be the fact that he raises

98
00:05:45,635 --> 00:05:48,560
his finger up as if he's hitting those
high notes.

99
00:05:48,793 --> 00:05:50,779
This was, of course, the very first time

100
00:05:50,969 --> 00:05:52,988
that he was turned into a meme,

101
00:05:53,272 --> 00:05:55,749
but it's certainly would not be the last.

102
00:05:56,055 --> 00:06:01,206
This same year, James did a CoverGirl
promotion with Zendaya,

103
00:06:01,448 --> 00:06:04,266
and oh my God, this has gotta be

104
00:06:04,420 --> 00:06:08,071
one of the most unintentionally funny
videos I've ever seen.

105
00:06:08,276 --> 00:06:12,562
So this video that they're doing is a
challenge to see what makeup

106
00:06:12,792 --> 00:06:16,418
looks they could come up with in the
span of 5 minutes.

107
00:06:16,591 --> 00:06:20,485
And so they're both in a rush and trying 
to showcase these CoverGirl

108
00:06:20,750 --> 00:06:22,239
products along the way.

109
00:06:22,514 --> 00:06:22,781
And about 30 seconds in, James gets
befuddled and just starts

110
00:06:22,781 --> 00:06:30,242
copying Zendaya and then acts like

111
00:06:30,616 --> 00:06:32,725
everything he's doing was his idea.

112
00:06:33,022 --> 00:06:34,463
- "I used it on my inner corner."
- "Same."

113
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,409
(Huh??)

114
00:06:36,647 --> 00:06:36,897
- "I used this as a base for the blue."
- "Yeah, same."

115
00:06:37,402 --> 00:06:41,169
And not only this, 
the end result is so bad,

116
00:06:41,500 --> 00:06:44,984
she absolutely ate him up, I can't 
believe this video exists.

117
00:06:45,273 --> 00:06:47,974
These two people should not exist in the
same universe.

118
00:06:48,220 --> 00:06:51,155
James would soon also start doing collabs

119
00:06:51,401 --> 00:06:56,308
with massive YouTubers like Tana Mongeau,
Joey Graceffa, and even

120
00:06:56,558 --> 00:06:58,681
non-YouTubers like Maddie Ziegler.

121
00:06:58,938 --> 00:07:01,269
However, he would soon find himself in his

122
00:07:01,479 --> 00:07:06,497
very first controversy, and that is the
"Ebola" tweet.

123
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,750
On Febuary 16, 2017, James writes:

124
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:19,077
<i>reads tweet.</i>

125
00:07:19,234 --> 00:07:21,433
So obviously this is very out of touch

126
00:07:21,651 --> 00:07:27,471
and just kind of assumes that Africa is 
like a diseased-riddled area,

127
00:07:27,736 --> 00:07:30,046
and so people were not happy about this.

128
00:07:30,288 --> 00:07:34,850
And so the very same day he 
did his first public apology ever.

129
00:07:35,087 --> 00:07:35,618
He wrote:

130
00:07:36,279 --> 00:07:44,105
<i>reads tweet.</i>

131
00:07:44,255 --> 00:07:48,540
And people definitely still thought James
was racist for, like, a good month

132
00:07:48,756 --> 00:07:49,537
after this.

133
00:07:49,762 --> 00:07:53,052
But the discourse got completely
overshadowed by the events of

134
00:07:53,242 --> 00:07:59,530
March 5th, 2017, which was the birth of
Flashback Mary.

135
00:07:59,745 --> 00:08:02,196
So what happened was that
James was at an event

136
00:08:02,407 --> 00:08:05,858
and he had WAY too much
powder on his face,

137
00:08:06,095 --> 00:08:10,634
and so when they took this picture of him,
it caused a flashback that gave him this,

138
00:08:10,848 --> 00:08:15,673
like, ghostly, ghoulish, sinister
SCP look to him.

139
00:08:15,913 --> 00:08:18,541
And the internet was immediately
obsessed with this.

140
00:08:18,735 --> 00:08:23,063
Like, this is definitely one of the 
biggest memes that has hit the Internet.

141
00:08:23,297 --> 00:08:25,922
Ask anyone, ask your grandma, 
ask your

142
00:08:26,072 --> 00:08:29,819
local pastor, they know 
Flashback Mary.

143
00:08:30,546 --> 00:08:34,777
The main comparison that was being made
to James was of this spider from-

144
00:08:34,999 --> 00:08:35,925
what is this show called?

145
00:08:36,070 --> 00:08:38,622
It's called Miss Spider's
Sunny Patch Friends.

146
00:08:38,873 --> 00:08:41,424
Like, I can't express to you 
how many times

147
00:08:41,599 --> 00:08:43,962
I've seen this image against my will,

148
00:08:44,137 --> 00:08:46,623
I wish I could permaban it from my brain.

149
00:08:46,968 --> 00:08:50,037
Something a little disappointing about 
this meme, though, is that the

150
00:08:50,197 --> 00:08:54,106
widespread image of Flashback
Mary is not the real one.

151
00:08:54,307 --> 00:08:59,318
This is the real one, and I will say, the
flashback is still really bad,

152
00:08:59,516 --> 00:09:03,888
but whoever edited this picture
just made it 70 times worse.

153
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:08,328
An interesting artifact of the time that I
found was this Redbubble page

154
00:09:08,545 --> 00:09:15,965
that just exclusively sells Flashback Mary
furniture, such as clocks and pillows.

155
00:09:16,245 --> 00:09:18,967
I really don't understand Redbubble,
people will just sell

156
00:09:19,236 --> 00:09:22,028
tych-fck-ehchk-ANYTHING there.

157
00:09:22,174 --> 00:09:26,477
Anyways, though, speaking of James
Charles' foundation, he does not

158
00:09:26,713 --> 00:09:28,868
know how to match that shit.

159
00:09:29,052 --> 00:09:32,795
Like, there's entire compilations
of him doing just that.

160
00:09:32,988 --> 00:09:36,846
And in this video specifically, he
describes himself as having

161
00:09:37,482 --> 00:09:38,952
warm undertones.

162
00:09:39,512 --> 00:09:41,009
"<i>GASP.</i> That looks like it could be
such a good match for me,

163
00:09:41,260 --> 00:09:44,141
everyone is convinced that my skintone
is, like, not warm."

164
00:09:44,285 --> 00:09:46,413
Girl, you are PINK! You are PINK!

165
00:09:46,630 --> 00:09:49,341
I think the funniest part about all
of this, though, is that he

166
00:09:49,714 --> 00:09:54,817
literally has a YouTube video trying, 
like, 40 different foundation shades, and

167
00:09:55,116 --> 00:09:58,717
in the end he <i>still</i> chooses the wrong one.

168
00:09:58,937 --> 00:10:04,301
Side note, though, another James 
Charles-ism is that he chronically misuses

169
00:10:04,550 --> 00:10:16,897
Facetune, especially in this era.

170
00:10:17,524 --> 00:10:19,360
And to be fair, he's never hid that he
uses Facetune, but it just looks so bad

171
00:10:19,834 --> 00:10:22,315
that I don't understand why he continues
to do it. Like, when I see these pictures,

172
00:10:22,315 --> 00:10:22,565
I get uncanny valley, Russian
Sleep Experiment, creepypasta vibes.

173
00:10:27,091 --> 00:10:29,519
Moving on, though, we have the "It"
debacle of 2017.

174
00:10:31,420 --> 00:10:36,422
Now, the It debacle began on September
7th when James tweeted about

175
00:10:36,667 --> 00:10:40,585
how he was gonna go see It, and
how excited he was about it.

176
00:10:40,796 --> 00:10:45,199
But literally five minutes into the movie,
he started tweeting about how bad

177
00:10:45,418 --> 00:10:47,685
it was, which, of course, is just nutty

178
00:10:47,864 --> 00:10:49,776
because how have you already
decided that

179
00:10:49,946 --> 00:10:52,502
you don't like the movie, and it's only 
been five minutes?

180
00:10:52,695 --> 00:10:55,546
And, like, why are you even on your phone?

181
00:10:55,796 --> 00:10:58,883
About thirty minutes later,
James tweets again,

182
00:10:59,079 --> 00:11:00,297
and this time, he says:

183
00:11:00,484 --> 00:11:11,035
<i>reading tweet.</i>

184
00:11:11,286 --> 00:11:14,797
Both of these tweets annoyed people for
obvious reasons.

185
00:11:15,041 --> 00:11:19,120
Like, he's just been texting the entire
movie.

186
00:11:19,334 --> 00:11:22,969
It doesn't even sound like he's been
watching it to know if it's bad!

187
00:11:23,264 --> 00:11:27,993
And so in response to all the people
questioning why he's doing this,

188
00:11:28,138 --> 00:11:28,520
he writes:

189
00:11:28,708 --> 00:11:36,102
<i>reads tweet.</i>

190
00:11:36,302 --> 00:11:37,000
But <i>then,</i>

191
00:11:37,214 --> 00:11:40,504
Finn Wolfhard replies to one of these
tweets and says:

192
00:11:40,795 --> 00:11:45,207
<i>reads tweet</i>

193
00:11:45,356 --> 00:11:50,007
Granted, at this time, I think Finn was
12 or 13 maybe.

194
00:11:50,247 --> 00:11:51,009
And so James tweets:

195
00:11:51,214 --> 00:11:55,307
<i>reads tweet.</i>

196
00:11:55,468 --> 00:11:58,854
Which sounds like he's accepting the
end of this.

197
00:11:59,097 --> 00:12:02,236
Like, this should be the end of the
conversation.

198
00:12:02,432 --> 00:12:07,341
But instead, he starts backtracking times
3,000, and he says:

199
00:12:07,669 --> 00:12:15,561
<i>reads tweet.</i>

200
00:12:15,769 --> 00:12:19,873
For the next few hours, people on 
Twitter would not leave him alone

201
00:12:20,078 --> 00:12:22,256
about why he was texting in the 
movie theater.

202
00:12:22,529 --> 00:12:23,817
And so he eventually says:

203
00:12:24,094 --> 00:12:30,755
<i>reads tweet.</i>

204
00:12:31,008 --> 00:12:33,839
And this dug his grave in even more.

205
00:12:34,100 --> 00:12:38,012
Because people were like, "What do you
mean 'everyone does it,'

206
00:12:38,228 --> 00:12:40,038
like, everyone does not do that!"

207
00:12:40,287 --> 00:12:45,461
Personally, as an AMC Stubs member,
this pains me.

208
00:12:45,736 --> 00:12:47,596
Follow me on Letterboxd so I can
feel important.

209
00:12:47,865 --> 00:12:53,014
But this caused people to start doing
polls about whether or not people

210
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,183
actually texted people during movies.

211
00:12:55,500 --> 00:13:00,456
And the results were, of course,
overwhelmingly NO.

212
00:13:00,722 --> 00:13:01,825
No they do not!

213
00:13:02,171 --> 00:13:05,797
And again, this should've been the end of
the conversation, but he just keeps

214
00:13:06,032 --> 00:13:11,011
acknowledging it, and he ends up filming
an apology video in the backseat

215
00:13:11,287 --> 00:13:12,471
of an Uber.

216
00:13:12,794 --> 00:13:15,137
(James talking:) "I want to personally
apologize to Finn and anybody else

217
00:13:15,341 --> 00:13:16,632
involved in the making of the movie It."

218
00:13:17,310 --> 00:13:21,229
And regardless of all of this, a couple
days later, he ended up doing an

219
00:13:21,518 --> 00:13:23,183
It makeup tutorial.

220
00:13:23,461 --> 00:13:25,304
(James doing a Pennywise voice:) 
"Hiya, sisters! James Charles

221
00:13:25,605 --> 00:13:27,031
here, and welcome back to my
YouTube channel!"

222
00:13:27,341 --> 00:13:30,088
Which, by the way, the first six
seconds of this video

223
00:13:30,391 --> 00:13:34,603
changed my life for the worse, so I'm
gonna make <i>you</i> see this too.

224
00:13:34,891 --> 00:13:37,933
(dubstep, intense music)

225
00:13:38,131 --> 00:13:38,547
(scream sound effect)

226
00:13:38,805 --> 00:13:41,175
In 2018, the "Sister Squad formed

227
00:13:41,509 --> 00:13:44,030
And this was basically just of long

228
00:13:44,310 --> 00:13:46,820
squad of these four best friends that

229
00:13:47,085 --> 00:13:49,087
consisted of... I mentioned Ethan Dolan,

230
00:13:49,528 --> 00:13:52,008
Grayson Dolan, and of course

231
00:13:52,245 --> 00:13:55,642
James himself. Now Eathan Dolan / Grayson

232
00:13:56,002 --> 00:13:59,226
had a huge Youtube channel that they

233
00:13:59,499 --> 00:14:01,997
have been making videos on since 2014

234
00:14:02,264 --> 00:14:04,403
And James ended up meeting them in late

235
00:14:04,723 --> 00:14:07,731
2017 after he left he left a bunch of very

236
00:14:07,982 --> 00:14:10,786
Questionably, thirsty Tweets on both of

237
00:14:10,991 --> 00:14:13,022
Their Instagrams. These includes comments

238
00:14:13,394 --> 00:14:15,166
Such as "Run me over with that

239
00:14:15,393 --> 00:14:17,357
Motorcycle, daddy". "Choke me with that

240
00:14:17,791 --> 00:14:18,991
Seatbelt, daddy".

241
00:14:19,355 --> 00:14:21,439
And last but not least, " Hit me with that

242
00:14:21,676 --> 00:14:22,460
Stick, daddy".

243
00:14:22,796 --> 00:14:26,539
On June 9, 2018, the first ever "Sister

244
00:14:26,785 --> 00:14:28,855
Squad" video was posted and this

245
00:14:29,099 --> 00:14:31,825
Had a cultural impact like no other

246
00:14:32,090 --> 00:14:34,393
Squad at the time. I don't care what

247
00:14:34,591 --> 00:14:36,309
Anyone says. This is the truth.

248
00:14:36,586 --> 00:14:37,918
The "Sister Squad" was such an

249
00:14:38,134 --> 00:14:40,497
Immediate success and all their videos

250
00:14:40,740 --> 00:14:43,246
Were pretty much just them hanging out.

251
00:14:43,496 --> 00:14:45,957
Each one of the "Sister Squad" videos got

252
00:14:46,171 --> 00:14:48,895
Around 30 million views a piece.

253
00:14:49,127 --> 00:14:50,761
And so, they say that people were

254
00:14:50,984 --> 00:14:51,726
invested.

255
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:53,272
In this friend's group dynamic

256
00:14:54,063 --> 00:14:57,068
'It would be an understatement.

257
00:14:57,291 --> 00:15:00,178
The most notable dynamics was that of.

258
00:15:00,585 --> 00:15:02,886
Emma and Grayson because it was heavily

259
00:15:03,523 --> 00:15:07,901
theorized that they secretly dating while

260
00:15:08,134 --> 00:15:10,016
fans were constantly speculating them.,

261
00:15:10,498 --> 00:15:13,281
making entire compilations of their

262
00:15:13,500 --> 00:15:16,105
interactions. And secondly was the

263
00:15:16,297 --> 00:15:18,771
dynamic between James and Grayson.

264
00:15:18,973 --> 00:15:20,657
It was pretty much an open secret that

265
00:15:20,893 --> 00:15:23,042
James had a crush on Grayson and there's

266
00:15:23,340 --> 00:15:27,216
entire compilations of him unsuccessfully

267
00:15:27,513 --> 00:15:29,249
flirting with him. And there's

268
00:15:29,456 --> 00:15:30,390
definitely some of the incidents were

269
00:15:30,662 --> 00:15:33,375
preplanned as a joke, but there's

270
00:15:33,633 --> 00:15:36,143
also many that were pretty much very raw.

271
00:15:36,786 --> 00:15:40,050
Very real like you can feel the rejection

272
00:15:40,350 --> 00:15:42,075
in the air like <i>groaning</i>

273
00:15:42,341 --> 00:15:44,835
this is very important to remember when

274
00:15:45,085 --> 00:15:47,546
we get to bisister, so just keep this is

275
00:15:47,820 --> 00:15:50,921
in mind that this group being able to

276
00:15:51,164 --> 00:15:53,234
make millions and millions of views per

277
00:15:53,470 --> 00:15:55,463
video and despite the way they seem so

278
00:15:55,715 --> 00:15:58,353
close in these videos. These two things

279
00:15:58,612 --> 00:16:00,785
have appeared to cause some turmoil

280
00:16:01,109 --> 00:16:04,357
because by February 4th, 2019, Emma

281
00:16:04,593 --> 00:16:07,407
unfollowed all of them and to be fair,

282
00:16:07,648 --> 00:16:10,709
she did unfollow everyone but like six

283
00:16:10,927 --> 00:16:13,757
people and posted on her story that she

284
00:16:13,949 --> 00:16:16,582
had done that for a social media purge.

285
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:18,916
But to be honest, it doesn't really make

286
00:16:19,143 --> 00:16:20,998
sense because if you are doing a social

287
00:16:21,220 --> 00:16:23,401
media purge I think you still follow your

288
00:16:23,699 --> 00:16:26,524
closest friends and just not anyone else.

289
00:16:26,836 --> 00:16:29,865
So it kinda seemed like a convenient, uh,

290
00:16:30,164 --> 00:16:32,766
excuse. And James Charles's response to

291
00:16:32,989 --> 00:16:35,571
this was this tweet, "I posted a beautiful

292
00:16:35,894 --> 00:16:38,121
makeup look today but you wouldn't know"

293
00:16:38,417 --> 00:16:41,357
In November of 2018, James released his

294
00:16:41,569 --> 00:16:43,946
first ever makeup pallet. And this, of

295
00:16:44,269 --> 00:16:46,437
course, was James X Morphe. Now, let me

296
00:16:46,773 --> 00:16:49,290
tell you, this pallet was extremely

297
00:16:49,738 --> 00:16:52,717
popular at the time. Everyone that I

298
00:16:53,036 --> 00:16:55,566
knew had this, I had this, and it was just

299
00:16:55,867 --> 00:16:58,615
generally really well recieved. So this

300
00:16:58,881 --> 00:17:01,716
new level of entrepreneurship really

301
00:17:01,958 --> 00:17:05,571
brought him up a threshold of passionate

302
00:17:05,809 --> 00:17:08,659
passionate fans. Like he did an appearance

303
00:17:08,908 --> 00:17:11,347
at a Morphe store in Birmingham and

304
00:17:11,561 --> 00:17:16,024
8,000 people showed up to the mall to see

305
00:17:16,256 --> 00:17:18,808
him and it literally caused gridlock

306
00:17:19,095 --> 00:17:21,093
outside of the store, like people were

307
00:17:21,322 --> 00:17:23,962
trapped in their cars. That is how

308
00:17:24,241 --> 00:17:27,008
popular he was at the time. However, it

309
00:17:27,284 --> 00:17:30,340
wouldn't be long until James found himself

310
00:17:30,631 --> 00:17:34,690
in another controversy. Also, oh my god, I

311
00:17:34,934 --> 00:17:36,883
almost forgot to mention that he was

312
00:17:37,139 --> 00:17:39,887
singing unprompted in front of this Morphe

313
00:17:40,186 --> 00:17:40,869
as well.

314
00:17:41,097 --> 00:17:44,392
<i>singing</i>

315
00:17:44,666 --> 00:17:47,846
The 2019 Sisters Tour. So James was doing

316
00:17:48,056 --> 00:17:50,856
a tour across the country and the most

317
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,585
expensive ticket that you could buy to see

318
00:17:53,801 --> 00:17:57,821
him was $500. Which, a lot of people

319
00:17:58,100 --> 00:18:01,005
were quick to call a scam. And he received

320
00:18:01,223 --> 00:18:03,716
a ton of backlash for this. Personally, I

321
00:18:03,916 --> 00:18:05,976
don't think this was a scam because you

322
00:18:06,208 --> 00:18:08,521
were going to get what you paid for. Like,

323
00:18:08,732 --> 00:18:10,288
it says right here what's included with

324
00:18:10,524 --> 00:18:13,231
this. It says, "Exclusive hangout with

325
00:18:13,460 --> 00:18:16,372
James Charles and the other Sister VIPS.

326
00:18:16,637 --> 00:18:18,470
One on one photo with James Charles.

327
00:18:18,780 --> 00:18:21,937
Exclusive Sisters VIP goodie bag. And

328
00:18:22,241 --> 00:18:24,972
exclusive autograph tour laminate. Front

329
00:18:25,149 --> 00:18:28,200
row seats and early access to merchandise

330
00:18:28,474 --> 00:18:30,902
vendors". Okay, that last one is crazy.

331
00:18:31,084 --> 00:18:33,961
Like, if your spending $500, I think you

332
00:18:34,234 --> 00:18:36,081
should get some free merch. In no way do I

333
00:18:36,319 --> 00:18:39,155
feel like this is worth $500 and like, in

334
00:18:39,398 --> 00:18:41,376
my perspective, I would feel like an

335
00:18:41,574 --> 00:18:44,360
asshole to hide a meet and greet with me

336
00:18:44,599 --> 00:18:47,649
behind a $500 paywall. However, if you

337
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,344
really wanted to have all that stuff and

338
00:18:50,572 --> 00:18:53,655
spend $500, that is your business. James

339
00:18:53,871 --> 00:18:55,712
did say that he would try to talk to his

340
00:18:55,979 --> 00:18:58,500
team about lowering the prices, but they

341
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:00,732
did remain the same. And in case your

342
00:19:00,983 --> 00:19:04,111
wondering what the luxury VIP James

343
00:19:04,325 --> 00:19:06,733
Charles experience was like, there's a

344
00:19:07,024 --> 00:19:09,785
video on YouTube titled, "I PAID $500

345
00:19:09,995 --> 00:19:12,711
TO SING WITH JAMES CHARLES" and it's him

346
00:19:13,014 --> 00:19:15,416
surrounded by a huge group of girls

347
00:19:15,646 --> 00:19:19,924
singing Listen by Beyonce very poorly.

348
00:19:20,157 --> 00:19:26,001
<i>singing</i>

349
00:19:26,185 --> 00:19:29,044
A genuine perk I see for anyone who went

350
00:19:29,246 --> 00:19:30,998
on this tour though, was that they got to

351
00:19:31,205 --> 00:19:34,046
witness the New Rules kick. In real time.

352
00:19:34,625 --> 00:19:37,965
<i>video plays</i>

353
00:19:38,154 --> 00:19:40,132
This became a meme just purely out of

354
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,459
being the perfect storm. People just found

355
00:19:43,685 --> 00:19:45,861
out that some tickets to the tour cost

356
00:19:46,062 --> 00:19:49,082
$500 and then they see this. Poor

357
00:19:49,692 --> 00:19:52,651
singing and poor dancing. And that third

358
00:19:52,890 --> 00:19:56,177
miscellaneous kick, muah.

359
00:19:56,411 --> 00:19:58,256
Let's take a break to talk about something

360
00:19:58,492 --> 00:20:01,551
that definitely isn't overpriced. Today's

361
00:20:01,745 --> 00:20:04,380
video is sponsored by care/of. You guys,

362
00:20:04,632 --> 00:20:07,296
I'm so excited that care/of decided to

363
00:20:07,539 --> 00:20:10,087
partner with me again because I genuinely

364
00:20:10,325 --> 00:20:13,410
love my vitamin packs. Like, care/of has

365
00:20:13,658 --> 00:20:15,405
truly made remembering to take your

366
00:20:15,623 --> 00:20:17,731
vitamins and incorporating them into

367
00:20:17,945 --> 00:20:20,926
your wellness routines so convenient. And

368
00:20:21,115 --> 00:20:23,005
all I had to do to get the vitamins that

369
00:20:23,211 --> 00:20:25,353
were right for me, was take this little

370
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:27,871
online quiz and it basically asks you

371
00:20:28,171 --> 00:20:30,943
questions about your lifestyle, and about

372
00:20:31,188 --> 00:20:33,726
your health goals. Then boom. care/of

373
00:20:34,039 --> 00:20:36,269
sends you doctor back recommendations

374
00:20:36,587 --> 00:20:39,448
right to your door in compostable packets.

375
00:20:39,772 --> 00:20:43,452
So! When I took my quiz, I said that I was

376
00:20:43,718 --> 00:20:45,596
concerned about my skin health, my eye

377
00:20:45,873 --> 00:20:48,190
health, and also that I wanted to improve

378
00:20:48,481 --> 00:20:50,939
my focus. And they ended up recommending

379
00:20:51,196 --> 00:20:53,417
me Astaxanthin, that's good for your eye

380
00:20:53,691 --> 00:20:55,745
and skin health. Then I got some Ceramides

381
00:20:56,047 --> 00:20:58,194
which is of course also good for your

382
00:20:58,388 --> 00:21:00,173
skin health. I got some Rhodiola which is

383
00:21:00,634 --> 00:21:03,692
for stress and focus. And honestly I could

384
00:21:03,931 --> 00:21:06,361
really rave all day about all of these,

385
00:21:06,690 --> 00:21:08,694
because since I've started taking these,

386
00:21:08,913 --> 00:21:10,977
I'm hooked and I've never been more

387
00:21:11,258 --> 00:21:13,856
satisfied with my skin, my hair, and my

388
00:21:14,118 --> 00:21:16,387
focus. Like, I feel like I'm genuinely

389
00:21:16,678 --> 00:21:17,930
getting good results.

390
00:21:18,259 --> 00:21:20,708
Care/of also has these wonderful powders

391
00:21:21,010 --> 00:21:23,285
that I love. I love their Collagen,

392
00:21:23,547 --> 00:21:26,225
seriously. I have tried other collagens

393
00:21:26,703 --> 00:21:29,633
and I hated them. They wouldn't dissolve

394
00:21:29,906 --> 00:21:31,898
in my coffee. They had a weird taste.

395
00:21:32,286 --> 00:21:33,888
And like they would just change the

396
00:21:34,162 --> 00:21:36,517
consistency of the coffee itself, like

397
00:21:36,758 --> 00:21:38,626
it was horrible. This is very important

398
00:21:39,192 --> 00:21:40,222
to me, like you guys don't even get it.

399
00:21:40,544 --> 00:21:42,656
So if you want to be super stoked, have

400
00:21:42,914 --> 00:21:44,714
some personalized vitamins that are

401

00:21:58,075 --> 00:21:59,893
us today. And now, back to the video.

407
00:22:00,227 --> 00:22:02,997
Welcome back! Now we're entering the calm

408
00:22:03,365 --> 00:22:06,569
before the storm and what I mean by that

409
00:22:06,927 --> 00:22:10,900
is that we are on the cusp of dramageddon

410
00:22:11,272 --> 00:22:16,206
This is literally April 2019 and no one

411
00:22:16,470 --> 00:22:19,901
had a single clue that the biggest drama

412
00:22:20,210 --> 00:22:22,909
of the internet would ever see what about

413
00:22:23,201 --> 00:22:26,202
to occur. Now, let me introduce to the

414
00:22:26,539 --> 00:22:29,074
central characters of the dramageddon.

415
00:22:29,397 --> 00:22:32,228
Ok, so here we have Tati Westbrook. She

416
00:22:32,449 --> 00:22:34,427
was a beauty guru as well as James'

417
00:22:34,712 --> 00:22:38,144
mentor and close friend. He even referred

418
00:22:38,431 --> 00:22:41,210
to her as a mother figure. As you can see

419
00:22:41,492 --> 00:22:43,460
here, this is James doing Tati's wedding

420
00:22:43,802 --> 00:22:46,101
makeup like that's how like this was how

421
00:22:46,352 --> 00:22:48,590
close they were and prior to these

422
00:22:48,830 --> 00:22:51,382
coming events, Tati had started her own

423
00:22:51,662 --> 00:22:55,399
supplement company in 2018 called Halo

424
00:22:55,726 --> 00:22:58,332
Beauty, and they basically sold like hair

425
00:22:58,616 --> 00:23:01,702
vitamins and skin vitamins, hoopla hoopla.

426
00:23:02,069 --> 00:23:05,056
Enter Jeffree Star. If you don't know who

427
00:23:05,316 --> 00:23:08,043
Jeffree Star is, he's probably in the top

428
00:23:08,379 --> 00:23:11,833
10 worst people on the internet and to

429
00:23:12,139 --> 00:23:15,048
fully explain why that is that would

430
00:23:15,297 --> 00:23:17,106
require like a whole three hour video.

431
00:23:17,661 --> 00:23:19,207
<i>inaudible</i>

432
00:23:19,403 --> 00:23:21,281
he has a very successful makeup company

433
00:23:21,572 --> 00:23:23,432
called "Jeffree Star Cosmetics" and his

434
00:23:23,668 --> 00:23:26,299
channel at this time was massive in the

435
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:28,843
beauty community. However, not

436
00:23:29,088 --> 00:23:32,105
as massive as James' and side note,

437
00:23:32,371 --> 00:23:35,841
in 2024 he lives on a farm and sells yak

438
00:23:36,065 --> 00:23:37,822
meat. So, there's that. Our last big

439
00:23:38,434 --> 00:23:41,529
dramageddon figure is Shane Dodsen.

440
00:23:41,795 --> 00:23:45,706
Shane is probably also on that top 10 list

441
00:23:45,968 --> 00:23:48,145
of worse people online. Come to think of

442
00:23:48,447 --> 00:23:50,890
it, James is too, but we will cross that

443
00:23:51,142 --> 00:23:52,687
bridge when we get there. What is

444
00:23:52,910 --> 00:23:54,860
important to know now though, is that in

445
00:23:55,378 --> 00:23:59,353
landscape of 2019 YouTube, for some reason

446
00:23:59,633 --> 00:24:01,780
Jane Dodsen, like a respected

447
00:24:02,368 --> 00:24:05,546
documentarian, and he has just done a

448
00:24:05,766 --> 00:24:08,160
documentary series about Jeffree Star.

449
00:24:08,465 --> 00:24:10,613
Looking back on it, these videos were not

450
00:24:10,916 --> 00:24:14,165
good and 60% of them were just like

451
00:24:14,377 --> 00:24:16,311
filler but each and every one of them got

452
00:24:16,542 --> 00:24:18,748
around 30 million views. With that it

453
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,250
mind, this brings us to Coachella 2019.

454
00:24:22,557 --> 00:24:24,646
This is where is all kicks off dude.

455
00:24:24,919 --> 00:24:27,748
During this time, James was "seeing" an

456
00:24:28,051 --> 00:24:32,221
influencer named Gage Gomez. "Seeing" it

457
00:24:32,464 --> 00:24:37,371
in air quotes because it was less of an

458
00:24:37,632 --> 00:24:41,967
actual relationship and more of actual

459
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,254
like bicurious experimental time on Gage's

460
00:24:44,727 --> 00:24:47,191
end, but they were photographed at this

461
00:24:47,483 --> 00:24:49,760
Coachella multiple times, which made fans

462
00:24:50,009 --> 00:24:51,996
start to speculate that James had a

463
00:24:52,249 --> 00:24:54,138
boyfriend. And so, a lot of people began

464
00:24:54,481 --> 00:24:57,237
to tweet James about this and he actually

465
00:24:57,505 --> 00:24:59,342
responded to one of these tweets saying

466
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,403
something along the lines of "No. I'm

467
00:25:02,603 --> 00:25:05,208
sadly still single. I was manipulated by

468
00:25:05,485 --> 00:25:07,237
a conman." I looked everywhere for this

469
00:25:07,237 --> 00:25:07,839
tweet and read it and writing down

470
00:25:08,469 --> 00:25:10,284
every thing it said at this point but

471
00:25:10,597 --> 00:25:12,335
can't find it anymore. So, sources that

472
00:25:12,620 --> 00:25:15,244
trust me. James just subtweeted

473
00:25:15,527 --> 00:25:17,480
that Gage, several times over the

474
00:25:18,009 --> 00:25:20,179
Coachella weekend, including this one

475
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,829
which says, "I'm sitting sobbing in my

476
00:25:23,122 --> 00:25:25,857
hotel room at 8 am and have to be on set

477
00:25:26,097 --> 00:25:28,020
in an hour. This is no one's fault but

478
00:25:28,302 --> 00:25:31,066
my own because my dumbass continues to

479
00:25:31,321 --> 00:25:33,332
go for the same type of insecure cute

480
00:25:33,589 --> 00:25:35,586
boys and it gets me hurt, every single

481
00:25:35,809 --> 00:25:37,634
time. I was started fucking to hate

482
00:25:37,856 --> 00:25:40,434
myself". Tensions are rising. Things are

483
00:25:40,718 --> 00:25:43,439
bubbling up, ok. And the next day of the

484
00:25:43,676 --> 00:25:46,660
festival, James ended up getting mobbed

485
00:25:46,987 --> 00:25:49,746
by fans because for some reason he didn't

486
00:25:50,013 --> 00:25:52,590
have like a VIP ticket which would have

487
00:25:52,881 --> 00:25:54,866
let him in like exclusive spaces to not

488
00:25:55,135 --> 00:25:58,944
be around so many fans. And so, all these

489
00:25:59,167 --> 00:26:00,934
people are running up on him right. He is

490
00:26:01,157 --> 00:26:02,991
like, holy shit, what do I do? And this

491
00:26:03,259 --> 00:26:05,570
led him to text his friend and fellow

492
00:26:05,844 --> 00:26:07,772
beauty guru, Nikita Dragon. And he asked

493
00:26:08,265 --> 00:26:09,605
her for help about the sicky situation.

494
00:26:09,926 --> 00:26:12,944
And so, she connects him to the Sugarbear

495
00:26:13,192 --> 00:26:14,897
Hair Team, because they're had their

496
00:26:15,180 --> 00:26:18,240
own VIP tent space, and they were going

497
00:26:18,502 --> 00:26:20,418
to let James in and in exchange for him

498
00:26:20,675 --> 00:26:23,656
doing just one Sugarbear Hair

499
00:26:23,948 --> 00:26:26,284
ad on his Instagram story and so,

500
00:26:26,558 --> 00:26:29,115
with no other choice, he signs the

501
00:26:29,313 --> 00:26:31,151
contract and gets in that tent. But let

502
00:26:31,376 --> 00:26:33,574
it be known that Sugarbear Hair was a

503
00:26:33,822 --> 00:26:35,418
very popular was a very popular vitamin

504
00:26:35,705 --> 00:26:39,277
brand as in Beauty Vitamins, as in for

505
00:26:39,822 --> 00:26:42,781
your skin and face. A.K.A. a direct

506
00:26:43,090 --> 00:26:44,901
competitor to Tati Westbrook's

507
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,541
brand "Halo Beauty" Dramageddon arrived!

508
00:26:48,864 --> 00:26:52,396
Her story in the making. On April 22,

509
00:26:52,684 --> 00:26:56,075
James posted his contraction obligated ad

510
00:26:56,406 --> 00:26:59,026
on Instagram. Notably, as you can see

511
00:26:59,318 --> 00:27:02,203
here, he's actually promoting their sleep

512
00:27:02,534 --> 00:27:05,460
gummies, not their skin or hair ones. But

513
00:27:05,669 --> 00:27:07,323
he does this and then he gets on a plane

514
00:27:07,581 --> 00:27:09,584
to Australia. For what I am about to say

515
00:27:09,805 --> 00:27:12,755
next, at this point in time Tati

516
00:27:13,015 --> 00:27:17,466
Westbrook is 37 years old and James was

517
00:27:17,755 --> 00:27:20,824
only 19. By the time James landed in

518
00:27:21,061 --> 00:27:23,480
Australia, Tati had already posted

519
00:27:23,767 --> 00:27:27,078
multiple stories of her crying and

520
00:27:27,470 --> 00:27:29,547
saying she feels so betrayed by a close

521
00:27:29,818 --> 00:27:31,834
friend and she had been taken advantage

522
00:27:32,056 --> 00:27:34,649
by somebody she thought she can trust and

523
00:27:34,901 --> 00:27:37,780
she helped so much and it was very

524
00:27:38,064 --> 00:27:38,345
obvious, like that she was talking about

525
00:27:40,566 --> 00:27:43,359
James. Like he literally just posted that

526
00:27:43,783 --> 00:27:46,494
Sugarbear Hair ad so, people added two

527
00:27:46,879 --> 00:27:49,737
plus two together so unbeknownst to James,

528
00:27:50,161 --> 00:27:52,526
thousands and thousands of people had

529
00:27:52,776 --> 00:27:55,163
begun adding him on Twitter, messaging

530
00:27:55,472 --> 00:27:57,750
him on Instagram. People he knew were

531
00:27:58,080 --> 00:27:59,579
sending him messages being like what's

532
00:27:59,850 --> 00:28:01,689
going on with you and Tati. And so, he

533
00:28:01,931 --> 00:28:03,165
gets off the plane, right. He sees this.

534
00:28:03,484 --> 00:28:05,837
He tries to call Tati. He tries to text

535
00:28:06,208 --> 00:28:07,745
her. He tries to call her husband.

536
00:28:08,049 --> 00:28:10,118
Neither of them answers but Tati just

537
00:28:10,407 --> 00:28:13,362
continues to post on Instagram. So, he

538
00:28:13,674 --> 00:28:15,885
decides to just make a public

539
00:28:16,188 --> 00:28:19,006
apology post. So the apology read," I want

540
00:28:19,335 --> 00:28:21,448
to publicly apologize to my close friend

541
00:28:22,770 --> 00:28:23,889
Tati. She has been like a mother to me

542
00:28:24,122 --> 00:28:25,613
since before my first days in this

543
00:28:25,849 --> 00:28:28,047
industry and has given me more love so

544
00:28:28,324 --> 00:28:30,291
important resources and advice that I

545
00:28:30,536 --> 00:28:33,402
could ever ask for. This weekend I did an

546
00:28:33,670 --> 00:28:35,828
Instagram story for sleep vitamins that

547
00:28:36,112 --> 00:28:38,841
I have been taking because the brand helps

548
00:28:39,314 --> 00:28:40,700
me with security when the crowd around me

549
00:28:40,985 --> 00:28:43,152
at Coachella became unsafe. I did not

550
00:28:43,434 --> 00:28:45,315
accept any money for the post. As most

551
00:28:45,723 --> 00:28:47,352
of you know, Tati has a vitamin brand

552
00:28:47,653 --> 00:28:50,088
which I take on a daily basis but at the

553
00:28:50,764 --> 00:28:53,497
moment, I did not think about the

554
00:28:53,801 --> 00:28:56,008
competition, which was a major oversight.

555
00:28:56,384 --> 00:28:58,916
I've supported Tati both online and off

556
00:28:59,220 --> 00:29:01,339
like she has done for me and I am

557
00:29:01,642 --> 00:29:03,545
devastated that I hurt somebody that I

558
00:29:03,833 --> 00:29:06,331
truly love and have endless respect for".

559
00:29:06,646 --> 00:29:10,255
I think the mature thing for 37-year-old

560
00:29:10,514 --> 00:29:14,038
Tati to do after seeing this would be to

561
00:29:14,276 --> 00:29:16,424
just talk to him, but instead she just

562
00:29:16,662 --> 00:29:19,648
continued ignoring him and posting and

563
00:29:19,904 --> 00:29:21,725
posting about this situation and crying

564
00:29:22,037 --> 00:29:26,460
online. And so, a few days later on May 4,

565
00:29:26,767 --> 00:29:30,562
2019, Gabriel Zamora, another beauty guru,

566
00:29:30,941 --> 00:29:33,701
posted this video titled "Makeup and

567
00:29:33,928 --> 00:29:36,375
Opinions". And during this video, he

568
00:29:36,643 --> 00:29:39,786
indirectly talks about the drama going on

569
00:29:40,052 --> 00:29:41,720
between Tati and James, saying that it's

570
00:29:41,971 --> 00:29:43,918
stupid that basically, Tati keeps like

571
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,075
sub tweeting about him but won't

572
00:29:46,364 --> 00:29:49,009
actually say what's going on or just talk

573
00:29:49,254 --> 00:29:50,992
to him and he's honestly so right, like

574
00:29:51,253 --> 00:29:53,532
this 37-year-old woman just implying that

575
00:29:53,825 --> 00:29:56,756
her 19-year-old colleague has done

576
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,808
something awful for days on end but then

577
00:30:00,096 --> 00:30:01,532
refuses to say anything about it

578
00:30:01,928 --> 00:30:04,324
to divulge more information and so

579
00:30:04,623 --> 00:30:07,021
Gabriel concludes this segment of the

580
00:30:07,278 --> 00:30:10,547
video by saying "Girl, go sit on the

581
00:30:10,824 --> 00:30:12,351
internet and talk about it then". And

582
00:30:12,677 --> 00:30:15,857
those words would unknowingly be the

583
00:30:16,155 --> 00:30:19,509
final straw, the final catalyst for the

584
00:30:19,983 --> 00:30:22,964
video that we all know today as the

585
00:30:23,601 --> 00:30:28,698
"Bye sister". "Bye sister" is one of the

586
00:30:29,003 --> 00:30:33,424
most iconic YouTube videos of all time.

587
00:30:33,671 --> 00:30:36,984
Seriously, the cultural impact of this

588
00:30:37,246 --> 00:30:40,194
cannot be minimized. Cannot be silenced.

589
00:30:40,532 --> 00:30:44,094
I still remember where I was when "Bye

590
00:30:44,446 --> 00:30:46,427
Sister" happened. It was a cold, windy

591
00:30:46,681 --> 00:30:50,861
day. On May 10th, 2019, when Tati decided

592
00:30:51,147 --> 00:30:53,901
that she needed to spill the tea "on

593
00:30:54,187 --> 00:30:57,324
James' Charles". This video is insane

594
00:30:57,663 --> 00:30:59,939
from start <i>gulp</i> to finished. It begins

595
00:31:00,222 --> 00:31:03,584
Gabriel Zamora's famous last words, "Girl,

596
00:31:03,895 --> 00:31:06,104
go talk about it on the internet then".

597
00:31:06,366 --> 00:31:07,562
"If you are going to go on the internet

598
00:31:07,807 --> 00:31:09,208
and cry and heavily imply that there

599
00:31:09,461 --> 00:31:10,697
a horrible human being

600
00:31:10,954 --> 00:31:12,796
and everybody can get what it is.

601
00:31:13,060 --> 00:31:14,088
Girl, sit on the internet

602
00:31:14,354 --> 00:31:15,462
and talk about it then".

603
00:31:15,703 --> 00:31:17,910
Imagine being the person that made this

604
00:31:18,250 --> 00:31:19,874
happen. But there were three major

605
00:31:20,109 --> 00:31:21,907
claims that Tati makes in this video

606
00:31:22,388 --> 00:31:24,880
against James Charles and let's just

607
00:31:25,076 --> 00:31:27,520
tackle them bullet point by bullet point.

608
00:31:27,978 --> 00:31:31,100
First and foremost, she claims that James

609
00:31:31,723 --> 00:31:34,299
purposefully sabotaged her vitamin gummy

610
00:31:34,637 --> 00:31:37,348
business by preorchestrating the Sugarbear

611
00:31:37,642 --> 00:31:40,402
hair contract. Two, that James' obnoxious

612
00:31:40,709 --> 00:31:42,582
and talks about c*ck and balls.

613
00:31:43,438 --> 00:31:46,884
Three, and the most serious one, is that

614
00:31:47,185 --> 00:31:50,149
he tries to manipulate straight men. But

615
00:31:50,376 --> 00:31:51,967
let's start off with the vitamins. Tati

616
00:31:52,193 --> 00:31:54,326
lists multiple ways in which she

617
00:31:54,569 --> 00:31:56,732
supported James over the years by pouring

618
00:31:57,015 --> 00:31:59,238
over contracts for him, setting up his

619
00:31:59,524 --> 00:32:01,289
Google add cent by him even after he

620
00:32:01,900 --> 00:32:05,324
tweeted about Ebola. But despite all this

621
00:32:05,691 --> 00:32:07,368
stuff that she's given him, she claims

622
00:32:07,641 --> 00:32:10,613
James gave her no warning before he posted

623
00:32:10,903 --> 00:32:13,477
his Sugarbear Hair ad, and also that he

624
00:32:13,973 --> 00:32:17,424
actually made the whole Coachella security

625
00:32:17,692 --> 00:32:19,583
thing up like he wasn't getting bombarded

626
00:32:19,896 --> 00:32:21,910
by fans or anything. He just already

627
00:32:22,197 --> 00:32:24,533
planned to do the Sugarbear Hair ad. Her

628
00:32:24,779 --> 00:32:27,213
reasoning is that there is no way that a

629
00:32:27,473 --> 00:32:29,519
company would ever just go out of their

630
00:32:29,832 --> 00:32:32,743
way to give you a contract just like that.

631
00:32:32,972 --> 00:32:35,810
And so, he has to be liying and even if

632
00:32:36,035 --> 00:32:37,615
there was a security problem.

633
00:32:37,885 --> 00:32:41,108
Even if he was getting rushed by fans, he

634
00:32:41,323 --> 00:32:43,632
should have simply walked away.

635
00:32:43,917 --> 00:32:45,928
You should have walked away. You should

636
00:32:46,141 --> 00:32:47,346
have held on to your integrity.

637
00:32:47,577 --> 00:32:49,511
You're phony. I know that now.

638
00:32:49,785 --> 00:32:52,009
These are all really interesting things

639
00:32:52,255 --> 00:32:55,012
to say because at the high of James' fame,

640
00:32:55,326 --> 00:32:57,544
I would think that a lot of companies

641
00:32:57,787 --> 00:32:59,643
might want to leap at the opportunity to

642
00:32:59,917 --> 00:33:02,273
work with him. I also kind of love it and

643
00:33:02,490 --> 00:33:04,226
I am kind of gagged by the way that she

644
00:33:04,496 --> 00:33:07,091
just says "walk away from people mobbing

645
00:33:07,389 --> 00:33:07,787
you."

646
00:33:08,157 --> 00:33:09,685
A lot of people are like were like what

647
00:33:09,980 --> 00:33:10,755
is he supposed to do. It's dangerous.

648
00:33:11,013 --> 00:33:12,155
Like leave. Go home.

649
00:33:12,409 --> 00:33:14,543
Why are you drowning? Just breathe.

650
00:33:15,006 --> 00:33:16,678
Why are you getting cyberbullying?

651
00:33:16,941 --> 00:33:19,345
Walk away from the computer. She goes on

652
00:33:19,556 --> 00:33:21,468
to blame him for potentially losing

653
00:33:21,742 --> 00:33:24,189
thousands and thousands of dollars due

654
00:33:24,397 --> 00:33:26,612
to his Instagram ad. Because nobody is

655
00:33:26,833 --> 00:33:28,590
going to buy two different brands of hair

656
00:33:29,032 --> 00:33:29,617
gummies.

657
00:33:30,004 --> 00:33:31,824
It's not a palette. It's not something

658
00:33:32,077 --> 00:33:33,423
that people buy multiples of.

659
00:33:33,730 --> 00:33:35,860
Then she then contradicts herself by

660
00:33:36,138 --> 00:33:38,059
saying that she doesn't needs ads. She

661
00:33:38,364 --> 00:33:40,668
doesn't want ads and her product is

662
00:33:40,969 --> 00:33:41,983
selling like hotcakes

663
00:33:42,325 --> 00:33:44,655
We're selling like hotcakes. Like I don't

664
00:33:44,921 --> 00:33:46,687
need to at this point. It seems like I

665
00:33:47,287 --> 00:33:49,553
am going on about this first bullet point

666
00:33:49,847 --> 00:33:53,433
for a while. It's because the majority of

667
00:33:53,741 --> 00:33:58,282
the video is actually about the gummy

668
00:33:58,507 --> 00:34:00,157
vitamins. She claims that James said

669
00:34:00,426 --> 00:34:03,219
he couldn't advertise for halo beauty on

670
00:34:03,449 --> 00:34:05,491
his channel because he had too many young

671
00:34:05,764 --> 00:34:07,929
fans watching and he didn't want to like

672
00:34:08,195 --> 00:34:10,132
market them supplements and so, she's

673
00:34:10,364 --> 00:34:13,225
like "But here you are on your Instagram

674
00:34:13,524 --> 00:34:17,098
story, selling sleep pills to kids which

675
00:34:17,352 --> 00:34:21,782
is <i>whoa</i> thats a reach. Ma'am, these are

676
00:34:22,068 --> 00:34:23,413
melatonin gummies.

677
00:34:23,705 --> 00:34:25,839
Moving on to the fucking c*ck and balls

678
00:34:26,134 --> 00:34:28,447
and straight boy allegation section.

679
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,073
Unfortunately, those two things are

680
00:34:31,365 --> 00:34:35,291
interlinked in this video. So that's why

681
00:34:35,539 --> 00:34:36,672
I'm roping them together. It's not

682
00:34:36,915 --> 00:34:37,823
that I'm not taking

683
00:34:38,073 --> 00:34:39,736
the last one seriously. It's that

684
00:34:39,945 --> 00:34:42,116
Tati has... Tati has done this to me.

685
00:34:42,497 --> 00:34:46,143
Tati claims that James tried to manipulate

686
00:34:46,337 --> 00:34:48,431
a waiter at her birthday dinner into

687
00:34:48,690 --> 00:34:51,400
thinking he was gay. She also claims that

688
00:34:51,626 --> 00:34:54,531
he was saying very loudly explicit things

689
00:34:54,780 --> 00:34:56,581
that he wanted to do to him.

690
00:34:56,885 --> 00:34:58,931
But what was most shocking to her was the

691
00:34:59,209 --> 00:35:01,603
fact that he was willing to talk about

692
00:35:01,827 --> 00:35:04,546
all this in front of her family and his

693
00:35:04,777 --> 00:35:06,573
own parents which is why we get the

694
00:35:06,831 --> 00:35:09,744
iconic sucking d<i>ck and c</i>ck line.

695
00:35:10,047 --> 00:35:11,176
Sucking and dick and cock. Like

696
00:35:11,446 --> 00:35:13,184
I'm just like Oh my God

697
00:35:13,424 --> 00:35:15,166
time and place and you did it at my

698
00:35:15,413 --> 00:35:16,150
birthday dinner.

699
00:35:16,401 --> 00:35:18,478
She claims she told James to leave the

700
00:35:18,681 --> 00:35:20,444
waiter alone and that he was straight.

701
00:35:20,712 --> 00:35:22,962
And in response he said it doesn't

702
00:35:23,204 --> 00:35:25,039
matter. I'm famous. She concludes the

703
00:35:25,345 --> 00:35:27,228
video with talking about some other

704
00:35:27,495 --> 00:35:30,766
vague instances of James trying to

705
00:35:31,047 --> 00:35:33,165
manipulate straight men and claims that

706
00:35:33,368 --> 00:35:34,921
the only reason why she's posting this

707
00:35:35,212 --> 00:35:37,545
is because it's a last ditch effort to get

708
00:35:37,786 --> 00:35:39,750
through to him so that he will stop

709
00:35:40,034 --> 00:35:42,668
trying to manipulate and seduce these

710
00:35:42,937 --> 00:35:44,643
straight men. Okay, let me just do a

711
00:35:44,909 --> 00:35:47,208
quick disclaimer here. I'm going to be

712
00:35:47,504 --> 00:35:50,011
treating the bye sister allegations as

713
00:35:50,378 --> 00:35:53,144
their own separate thing. Not really

714
00:35:53,391 --> 00:35:55,914
trying to connect them to further

715
00:35:56,167 --> 00:35:58,196
allegations because I feel like that will

716
00:35:58,439 --> 00:36:01,134
get very crazy and twisted and that is

717
00:36:01,387 --> 00:36:03,534
not what I want because a lot of bye

718
00:36:03,782 --> 00:36:06,378
sister, as you will see, gets debunked.

719
00:36:06,628 --> 00:36:08,794
Where as in the future. there are actual

720
00:36:09,322 --> 00:36:14,088
victims that James like has with reciepts

721
00:36:14,373 --> 00:36:15,823
So I don't want Dramageddon

722
00:36:16,070 --> 00:36:17,138
and like that world

723
00:36:17,568 --> 00:36:19,761
intermixing out of respect.

724
00:36:20,047 --> 00:36:23,019
And so, with that in mind, we

725
00:36:23,250 --> 00:36:24,609
need to talk a little bit more about the

726
00:36:24,818 --> 00:36:27,321
elephant in the room with bye sister and

727
00:36:27,588 --> 00:36:30,717
that is that Tati spent the majority of

728
00:36:30,981 --> 00:36:34,134
video talking about her beef with James,

729
00:36:34,430 --> 00:36:37,316
with the vitamins, but then in the end

730
00:36:37,574 --> 00:36:40,254
claims that she making this video because

731
00:36:40,515 --> 00:36:42,658
of the sexual ab*use allegations.

732
00:36:42,994 --> 00:36:45,976
Including but not limited to the sexual

733
00:36:46,223 --> 00:36:48,117
harrassment of the waiter at the

734
00:36:48,383 --> 00:36:50,371
restaurant. Also just have to mention

735
00:36:50,615 --> 00:36:52,565
it, I don't know if you noticed this but

736
00:36:52,815 --> 00:36:56,625
the Jeffree Star Lipsticks sitting in the

737
00:36:56,873 --> 00:36:59,997
background of this video. Oh My God!

738
00:37:00,418 --> 00:37:04,044
Move over classic literature writers.

739
00:37:04,310 --> 00:37:07,392
That is the best foreshadowing I've ever

740
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:11,168
seen. Regardless, the immediate public

741
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:15,121
response to bye sister was cateclismic.

742
00:37:15,716 --> 00:37:17,783
The video quickly accumulated 30 million

743
00:37:18,045 --> 00:37:22,287
views and a trend sparked within the hour

744
00:37:22,707 --> 00:37:25,564
of burning or destroying your James'

745
00:37:26,441 --> 00:37:28,263
Morphe palatte . There are many of these

746
00:37:28,485 --> 00:37:31,029
compilations. This one alone is 10 minutes

747
00:37:31,307 --> 00:37:33,772
straight of people just destroying their

748
00:37:33,975 --> 00:37:35,587
James Morphe palatte. James Charles

749
00:37:36,765 --> 00:37:39,473
is over party was trending on Twitter.

750
00:37:39,795 --> 00:37:42,078
My personal memory of this is

751
00:37:42,300 --> 00:37:44,621
going on Snapchat and seeing on

752
00:37:44,941 --> 00:37:46,834
one of my friend's stories that there was

753
00:37:47,122 --> 00:37:50,202
a line out the door at my local Ulta

754
00:37:50,547 --> 00:37:52,689
of girls were just returning the

755
00:37:52,954 --> 00:37:55,381
James' palette. I really, really wish I

756
00:37:55,661 --> 00:37:56,782
could have found footage of that because

757
00:37:57,042 --> 00:37:59,119
it contributes to a bigger picture here

758
00:37:59,401 --> 00:38:02,276
and that is, I think, everybody had a

759
00:38:02,532 --> 00:38:04,479
little bit of mass hysteria with this

760
00:38:04,772 --> 00:38:07,510
because I have just never seen people

761
00:38:07,821 --> 00:38:09,956
react in the way people reacted

762
00:38:10,241 --> 00:38:13,098
to bye sister. Like people have done other

763
00:38:13,339 --> 00:38:16,141
alleged things that are of equivalent or

764
00:38:16,408 --> 00:38:19,730
worse and we have not seen

765
00:38:20,002 --> 00:38:20,937
something like this

766
00:38:21,150 --> 00:38:23,839
happen. Anyways, within all this havoc,

767
00:38:24,146 --> 00:38:27,470
later that night James post an apology

768
00:38:27,731 --> 00:38:30,650
video simply titled "Tati". This is a nine

769
00:38:30,958 --> 00:38:33,641
minute video but I am willing to bet the

770
00:38:33,917 --> 00:38:36,628
actual amount of talking in it is more so

771
00:38:37,024 --> 00:38:39,023
around like four because in it,

772
00:38:39,274 --> 00:38:42,375
James is very clearly jetlagged and

773
00:38:42,645 --> 00:38:45,853
tired like he's whispering. He's talking

774
00:38:46,218 --> 00:38:47,585
really slow.

775
00:38:47,954 --> 00:38:52,504
I met Tati.

776
00:38:52,900 --> 00:38:55,311
Not only that, he only apologizes

777
00:38:55,678 --> 00:38:57,650
for disrespecting Tati. He doesn't

778
00:38:57,924 --> 00:39:02,234
confirm or deny any other allegations. he

779
00:39:02,472 --> 00:39:04,427
just needs to be more careful of his

780
00:39:04,739 --> 00:39:06,379
relationships in the future in the

781
00:39:06,628 --> 00:39:10,154
public eye. And so, posts and to say that

782
00:39:10,426 --> 00:39:13,859
people um didn't receive it well would be

783
00:39:14,220 --> 00:39:15,948
a flub. it would be a lil flub.

784
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:18,769
As soon as video dropped, a ton of

785
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:20,402
channels began to live

786
00:39:20,686 --> 00:39:23,581
streaming. The live sub count of James

787
00:39:23,889 --> 00:39:26,887
Charles losing thousands and thousands

788
00:39:27,180 --> 00:39:29,421
and thousands of subscribers meanwhile,

789
00:39:29,776 --> 00:39:33,290
showing Tati gaining subs. I'm not joking

790
00:39:33,570 --> 00:39:34,696
with you guys when I say, there was

791
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:37,332
probably like 300 of these channels all

792
00:39:37,601 --> 00:39:41,837
active at once and in the live chat people

793
00:39:42,156 --> 00:39:45,197
were goading them on like a sports event

794
00:39:45,549 --> 00:39:49,055
before terminally online makeup girlies

795
00:39:49,403 --> 00:39:51,753
At least partially because of these

796
00:39:52,050 --> 00:39:54,901
live sub trackers, James Charles would

797
00:39:55,173 --> 00:39:58,270
become the first Youtuber to lose one

798
00:39:58,616 --> 00:40:02,876
million subscribers in one day. There were

799
00:40:03,142 --> 00:40:05,520
a ton of memes about the Tati apology

800
00:40:05,936 --> 00:40:08,226
video floating around and let's just

801
00:40:08,455 --> 00:40:10,840
say all of the breathing in it did not

802
00:40:11,137 --> 00:40:12,005
help the case.

803
00:40:12,300 --> 00:40:17,305
*breathing

804
00:40:17,554 --> 00:40:19,847
Meanwhile, a ton of people started chiming

805
00:40:20,153 --> 00:40:21,939
in about the situation on Twitter and

806
00:40:22,243 --> 00:40:25,238
even just kind of making things up to

807
00:40:25,477 --> 00:40:28,190
insert themselves into the conversation

808
00:40:28,529 --> 00:40:30,155
because it was so trendy.

809
00:40:30,537 --> 00:40:33,414
For example, the singer Zara Larson posted

810
00:40:33,691 --> 00:40:34,574
this tweet that said

811
00:40:34,845 --> 00:40:36,812
"I'm cackling cause he hit up my

812
00:40:37,159 --> 00:40:39,013
boyfriend in the dms several times

813
00:40:39,307 --> 00:40:41,519
knowing damn well he's straight".

814
00:40:41,786 --> 00:40:43,839
She would later go on to apologize for

815
00:40:44,082 --> 00:40:46,415
that because she didn't realize that he

816
00:40:48,799 --> 00:40:49,624
had only sent her boyfriend one message.

817
00:40:50,970 --> 00:40:53,361
There was also some person making the

818
00:40:53,549 --> 00:40:55,302
claim that in high school, James had

819
00:40:55,834 --> 00:40:57,502
catfished the entire football team just

820
00:40:57,502 --> 00:40:57,910
to trick them into sending him d*** pics,

821
00:41:01,072 --> 00:41:04,253
which I mean, it's a wild claim.

822
00:41:04,517 --> 00:41:06,782
I'm not saying impossible but it's

823
00:41:07,041 --> 00:41:08,450
f******* wild, I'll say that.

824
00:41:08,686 --> 00:41:10,770
At this point, people also mass

825
00:41:11,021 --> 00:41:13,724
unfollowing James on Instagram, as well,

826
00:41:13,985 --> 00:41:16,583
and some of the people unfollowed him

827
00:41:16,859 --> 00:41:19,066
include people like the Kardashians,

828
00:41:19,429 --> 00:41:21,900
Demi Lavato, Ariana Grande....

829
00:41:22,189 --> 00:41:24,814
But most importantly to all of this, is

830
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:27,883
the fact that every single one of the

831
00:41:28,103 --> 00:41:29,816
members of the sister squad unfollowed

832
00:41:30,081 --> 00:41:32,814
him which affectively ended it.

833
00:41:33,082 --> 00:41:35,778
The next day, May 14th, Gage Gomez

834
00:41:36,105 --> 00:41:38,495
uploads a video titled " My first

835
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:41,464
YouTube video" and in it he talks about

836
00:41:41,716 --> 00:41:44,483
how James having sub tweeted him had

837
00:41:44,764 --> 00:41:47,922
actually, caused a shit ton of his fans to

838
00:41:48,223 --> 00:41:51,198
his page and start threatening him and

839
00:41:51,490 --> 00:41:53,698
harassing him. He also says that James

840
00:41:54,055 --> 00:41:57,225
realized that these sub tweets were wrong

841
00:41:57,755 --> 00:41:59,580
because he ended up apologizing to him

842
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:02,244
and deleting them, but essentially he just

843
00:42:02,539 --> 00:42:04,219
wanted to clear his name out of this.

844
00:42:04,556 --> 00:42:07,031
Confusingly though, shortly after this

845
00:42:07,339 --> 00:42:09,807
video was posted he went on a Instagram

846
00:42:10,123 --> 00:42:12,568
live stream and when somebody asked him

847
00:42:12,886 --> 00:42:15,445
if he was single he said that he had just

848
00:42:15,807 --> 00:42:18,099
been dumped and seemed to imply that

849
00:42:18,390 --> 00:42:21,162
it was either James or related to James

850
00:42:21,832 --> 00:42:22,598
in some way.

851
00:42:22,985 --> 00:42:25,604
Someone by the little name of, um

852
00:42:25,995 --> 00:42:28,884
I'm not gonna say it. It starts with a J.

853
00:42:29,196 --> 00:42:31,327
What makes this even more convulated to

854
00:42:31,621 --> 00:42:34,495
is that I found out on one of the days

855
00:42:34,794 --> 00:42:36,660
that James was at Coachella, he went to

856
00:42:36,984 --> 00:42:39,957
brunch with this guy named DIllon Gike

857
00:42:40,284 --> 00:42:41,493
I think and the *gasp it all is, is that

858
00:42:41,830 --> 00:42:47,057
this person Dillon is Gage's friend and

859
00:42:47,388 --> 00:42:50,311
speculated more than friend. So there's

860
00:42:50,631 --> 00:42:52,976
that interesting thing. Then Dillon would

861
00:42:53,292 --> 00:42:57,019
comment on Gage's page calling clout

862
00:42:57,323 --> 00:42:59,207
chaser. I don't know what kind of friend

863
00:42:59,535 --> 00:43:02,290
dynamics or anything more happening here,

864
00:43:02,636 --> 00:43:06,806
but it made me very confused about Gage's

865
00:43:07,105 --> 00:43:10,983
stance in all of this. Shortly after that

866
00:43:11,250 --> 00:43:13,039
live stream though Gage would post

867
00:43:13,380 --> 00:43:15,904
another video that just made me even more

868
00:43:16,174 --> 00:43:19,066
confused because in this video he said

869
00:43:19,392 --> 00:43:21,321
that James tried to manipulate him to

870
00:43:21,650 --> 00:43:24,393
thinking he was gay, even after telling

871
00:43:24,655 --> 00:43:27,681
that he was straight multiple times but

872
00:43:27,947 --> 00:43:30,420
James kept pursuing him. I have

873
00:43:30,695 --> 00:43:33,195
nothing more to say about this video even

874
00:43:33,459 --> 00:43:35,034
though I totally believe it could have

875
00:43:35,261 --> 00:43:37,321
happened but also, I am confused.

876
00:43:37,554 --> 00:43:40,712
*Popping noise

877
00:43:40,953 --> 00:43:41,655
Alrighty, Here we are.

878
00:43:41,907 --> 00:43:43,523
I am just a little bit lost in it all.

879
00:43:43,787 --> 00:43:44,455
Let's move on.

880
00:43:44,723 --> 00:43:47,466
While all this is going on, Ian Jeffree,

881
00:43:47,848 --> 00:43:50,817
A.K.A. James' little brother tweets out

882
00:43:51,211 --> 00:43:53,524
" Why does everyone act so tough over the

883
00:43:53,691 --> 00:43:54,065
internet".

884
00:43:54,336 --> 00:43:57,688
And Jeffree Star chimes in within A.K.

885
00:43:57,934 --> 00:44:01,084
47 for no reason he says

886
00:44:01,375 --> 00:44:03,330
"Why is your brother a predator?? Why'd

887
00:44:03,526 --> 00:44:06,079
you really move back to NYC? Exactly.

888
00:44:06,409 --> 00:44:08,008
Shut the f*** up".

889
00:44:08,261 --> 00:44:11,232
For context, I guess Ian had moved back

890
00:44:11,497 --> 00:44:14,220
to New York City to be with their parents

891
00:44:14,483 --> 00:44:17,575
recently, but saying this to a 17-year-old

892
00:44:17,865 --> 00:44:20,762
that probably has no idea what you are

893
00:44:20,986 --> 00:44:23,521
talking about. It's so Jeffree Star. Like,

894
00:44:23,768 --> 00:44:26,421
at least he stays on brand like he just

895
00:44:26,693 --> 00:44:29,040
continues to be a bad person.

896
00:44:29,281 --> 00:44:30,991
But Jeffree ended up continuing he said,

897
00:44:31,242 --> 00:44:33,618
"There is a reason why I haven't seen him

898
00:44:33,888 --> 00:44:37,114
since Tati's birthday in February. He is a

899
00:44:37,408 --> 00:44:39,874
danger to society. Everything that Tati

900
00:44:40,083 --> 00:44:41,647
said is 100% true.

901
00:44:42,231 --> 00:44:44,162
On the same day as these tweets, Sam,

902
00:44:44,595 --> 00:44:47,704
the waiter from Tati's birthday party.

903
00:44:47,934 --> 00:44:48,679
"Sucking a dick and cock"

904
00:44:48,913 --> 00:44:52,113
Posted a video explaining his side of the

905
00:44:52,295 --> 00:44:54,839
story and basically, Sam explains that

906
00:44:55,038 --> 00:44:58,043
James had asked another one of the waiters

907
00:44:58,379 --> 00:45:01,397
for his number and if he would was single.

908
00:45:01,704 --> 00:45:04,167
He also complimented him on the way

909
00:45:04,412 --> 00:45:06,163
that he looked. Since he didn't get his

910
00:45:06,450 --> 00:45:08,463
number, he left the restaurant and that

911
00:45:08,773 --> 00:45:11,674
was that but later that night, Sam's

912
00:45:11,954 --> 00:45:15,789
sister convinced him to dm James and talk

913
00:45:16,108 --> 00:45:18,533
to him again and so, he did and they

914
00:45:18,805 --> 00:45:20,579
started talking. James apologizes for

915
00:45:20,911 --> 00:45:23,299
flirting with him. At this point he

916
00:45:23,556 --> 00:45:25,506
actually found it flattering.

917
00:45:25,791 --> 00:45:28,658
The conversation escalated until James

918
00:45:28,941 --> 00:45:32,094
invited him to his hotel room, and since

919
00:45:32,362 --> 00:45:36,058
Sam says he is bicurious he went to

920
00:45:36,398 --> 00:45:37,698
go meet up with him. He says

921
00:45:37,945 --> 00:45:39,250
they ended up making out for around

922
00:45:39,462 --> 00:45:41,792
an hour at the hotel and that James'

923
00:45:42,300 --> 00:45:45,526
is the worst kind of kisser he's ever had.

924
00:45:45,876 --> 00:45:46,753
It's just...

925
00:45:47,221 --> 00:45:48,563
If I am being honest, he is the worst

926
00:45:49,035 --> 00:45:51,026
kisser I've ever kissed. Way too much

927
00:45:51,318 --> 00:45:53,479
tongue. He then goes on to say that James

928
00:45:53,767 --> 00:45:56,416
begged him to stay in the hotel with him

929
00:45:56,766 --> 00:45:59,307
but because he did not enjoy the kissing,

930
00:45:59,628 --> 00:46:02,031
he decided to leave anyways. And now the

931
00:46:02,488 --> 00:46:05,233
following week, James offered to fly Sam

932
00:46:05,464 --> 00:46:08,035
out to California for his birthday, but

933
00:46:08,368 --> 00:46:10,290
Sam told him that he figured out that he

934
00:46:10,613 --> 00:46:12,928
was pretty much straight so it wouldn't be

935
00:46:13,189 --> 00:46:15,043
right for him to accept the invitation. At

936
00:46:15,313 --> 00:46:17,520
which point James became upset and told

937
00:46:17,790 --> 00:46:20,004
him that he was not straight and that

938
00:46:20,294 --> 00:46:21,812
he hoped that he would figure that out

939
00:46:22,129 --> 00:46:25,264
sooner than later. The TLDR at the end of

940
00:46:25,631 --> 00:46:28,208
this video is that the last draw for Sam

941
00:46:28,506 --> 00:46:31,739
to cut contact off with James was finding

942
00:46:32,031 --> 00:46:35,201
out he was also talking to Gage at the

943
00:46:35,532 --> 00:46:37,880
same time meaning that he thought that

944
00:46:38,227 --> 00:46:41,781
he was playing two straight guys at once.

945
00:46:42,086 --> 00:46:45,645
On May 13th, Nikita Dragon jumps back into

946
00:46:45,998 --> 00:46:48,905
Dramageddon and tweets out strange shots

947
00:46:49,227 --> 00:46:51,725
between her and James Charles. She's

948
00:46:51,973 --> 00:46:53,562
trying to back him up, trying to be like

949
00:46:53,884 --> 00:46:55,843
"See, it really did happen guys",

950
00:46:56,151 --> 00:46:59,126
like he was getting bombarded at Coachella

951
00:46:59,424 --> 00:47:01,615
but this really only made things worse,

952
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:04,375
because after Tati's video, everyone

953
00:47:04,628 --> 00:47:07,014
really believed that James had reached

954
00:47:07,283 --> 00:47:09,592
out to Sugarbear Hair in a pre-planned

955
00:47:09,896 --> 00:47:12,368
effort, not to mention that she didn't

956
00:47:12,641 --> 00:47:15,102
bring up the straight boy allegations so

957
00:47:15,356 --> 00:47:16,956
people were really clowning on her for

958
00:47:17,367 --> 00:47:19,223
this. She posted a YouTube video the

959
00:47:19,457 --> 00:47:21,525
following day titled "What really

960
00:47:21,809 --> 00:47:23,963
happened" and this made plenty of fans

961
00:47:24,267 --> 00:47:26,494
click on the video expecting her to

962
00:47:26,701 --> 00:47:28,595
talk about James and Tati situation

963
00:47:28,853 --> 00:47:30,284
because, of course, what else could this

964
00:47:30,569 --> 00:47:33,314
be about and, mind you, I haven't actually

965
00:47:33,593 --> 00:47:36,227
watched this video completely, scrubbed

966
00:47:36,572 --> 00:47:38,523
from the internet. Cannot find it

967
00:47:38,821 --> 00:47:41,304
anywhere. But apparently instead of

968
00:47:41,616 --> 00:47:43,929
addressing anything relevant, she just

969
00:47:44,225 --> 00:47:46,184
makes a general statement about mean

970
00:47:46,837 --> 00:47:49,466
comments and then plugs her beauty brand

971
00:47:49,783 --> 00:47:51,946
for the last, like five minutes. Which

972
00:47:52,312 --> 00:47:54,467
goes to show how much people

973
00:47:54,741 --> 00:47:57,185
were capitalizing off this beef. I mean

974
00:47:57,461 --> 00:48:00,364
Nikita Dragon was literally just there at

975
00:48:00,647 --> 00:48:03,335
Coachella with James. She could have said

976
00:48:03,639 --> 00:48:05,568
something about the subject but

977
00:48:05,876 --> 00:48:07,886
she was like I'm gonna get into this with

978
00:48:08,167 --> 00:48:10,647
my Dragon Beauty brand. This same night,

979
00:48:10,943 --> 00:48:12,934
Jeffree Star goes out on Snapchat and

980
00:48:13,243 --> 00:48:15,487
starts talking about how he has crazy

981
00:48:15,836 --> 00:48:18,565
receipts on James and he's going to be

982
00:48:18,862 --> 00:48:22,106
exposing him very soon and I have to say

983
00:48:22,671 --> 00:48:25,175
this is probably my least favorite thing

984
00:48:25,465 --> 00:48:27,634
that Jeffrey does all the time is that I

985
00:48:28,193 --> 00:48:30,954
feel like actually does have crazy

986
00:48:31,248 --> 00:48:34,346
blackmail against people but he only ever

987
00:48:34,657 --> 00:48:37,682
uses it for self-interest, Like he's like

988
00:48:38,429 --> 00:48:39,989
he has something insane like crazy

989
00:48:40,270 --> 00:48:42,761
proof that James Charles has done

990
00:48:43,020 --> 00:48:45,200
something beyond the pale that we don't

991
00:48:45,441 --> 00:48:47,423
even know about yet. The only way

992
00:48:47,708 --> 00:48:49,468
he would leak it is if it was in his

993
00:48:50,085 --> 00:48:50,597
own benefit,

994
00:48:50,872 --> 00:48:52,746
On May 17th, Tati Westbrook post another

995
00:48:53,366 --> 00:48:55,779
video addressing this whole situation

996
00:48:56,038 --> 00:48:59,162
called "Why I did it" and for some reason

997
00:48:59,473 --> 00:49:00,887
this video hasn't been archived.

998
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:02,837
I was only able to watch someone else's

999
00:49:03,127 --> 00:49:05,413
reaction of it but basically gist that I

1000
00:49:05,700 --> 00:49:08,724
got was this was just her doubling down on

1001
00:49:09,013 --> 00:49:11,511
what she has said previously, only now she

1002
00:49:11,805 --> 00:49:14,517
wishes people wouldn't pick sides on what

1003
00:49:14,787 --> 00:49:15,490
between her and James.

1004
00:49:15,755 --> 00:49:17,563
But little did everyone know that that

1005
00:49:17,832 --> 00:49:20,366
the next day on May 18th, James would

1006
00:49:20,619 --> 00:49:23,096
upload "No More Lies", which is probably

1007
00:49:23,410 --> 00:49:26,355
the internet's biggest uno reverse.

1008
00:49:26,662 --> 00:49:29,797
Which nobody claims in bisister and so

1009
00:49:30,159 --> 00:49:32,745
many debunkinings and not debunkinings

1010
00:49:33,062 --> 00:49:34,812
happening in "No More Lies".

1011
00:49:35,117 --> 00:49:36,865
We are just going to take it category by

1012
00:49:37,146 --> 00:49:38,969
category again. No More claims state

1013
00:49:39,208 --> 00:49:41,479
of claim. Firstly, she said the ad was

1014
00:49:42,021 --> 00:49:43,870
preorchestrated. It was that Jamas talked

1015
00:49:44,537 --> 00:49:49,070
to the Sugarbear hair team on the grounds

1016
00:49:49,366 --> 00:49:51,799
at Coachella, Two, James didn't give her

1017
00:49:52,359 --> 00:49:54,479
any warning before he put up the ad.

1018
00:49:54,727 --> 00:49:56,790
He only says something after which was not

1019
00:49:57,041 --> 00:49:59,497
the case. He had screenshots of the text

1020
00:49:59,757 --> 00:50:01,874
message where he warned her in advance

1021
00:50:02,219 --> 00:50:05,386
and to which she replied "I'm so hurt"

1022
00:50:05,672 --> 00:50:08,114
and he gave a lengthy apology.

1023
00:50:08,401 --> 00:50:11,056
Three, she said James said he wouldn't

1024
00:50:11,274 --> 00:50:13,912
talk about Halo Beauty on social media or

1025
00:50:14,174 --> 00:50:15,457
his channel because he didn't want to

1026
00:50:15,709 --> 00:50:17,967
promote supplements to young kids.

1027
00:50:18,555 --> 00:50:20,662
This is a really weird and strange lie.

1028
00:50:20,913 --> 00:50:23,312
Like he promoted Halo Beauty multiple

1029
00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:25,825
times and across his social media pages.

1030
00:50:26,079 --> 00:50:29,522
So, I am trying to understand Tati, I am

1031
00:50:29,748 --> 00:50:31,676
trying why to lie about maniscule things.

1032
00:50:31,958 --> 00:50:39,796
*Inaudible

1033
00:50:39,796 --> 00:50:40,207
Another one of Tati's claims was that

1034
00:50:41,746 --> 00:50:44,415
James had been using his power, influence

1035
00:50:45,199 --> 00:50:48,176
and money in order to extort sexual

1036
00:50:48,517 --> 00:50:52,055
favors to people to manipulate them and J

1037
00:50:52,313 --> 00:50:53,574
James admits that he is a 19-year-old

1038
00:50:53,889 --> 00:50:56,456
virgin and that isn't the case because he

1039
00:50:56,714 --> 00:50:59,331
is not fuckin but I will say this. At

1040
00:50:59,584 --> 00:51:00,797
12:40 in this video he says

1041
00:51:01,065 --> 00:51:03,424
"We'll never use my fame, money, or

1042
00:51:03,669 --> 00:51:05,768
power to manipulate or get any sexual

1043
00:51:06,139 --> 00:51:07,088
actions from a guy",

1044
00:51:07,348 --> 00:51:10,678
Which did not age well. When it comes to

1045
00:51:10,947 --> 00:51:12,425
this allegation in the James Charles

1046
00:51:12,740 --> 00:51:14,999
timeline, I have a little bit of a

1047
00:51:15,263 --> 00:51:17,107
question mark over it because I am not

1048
00:51:17,357 --> 00:51:20,561
sure how much damage he had done at age

1049
00:51:20,814 --> 00:51:24,045
19. But from what we know about Gage and

1050
00:51:24,345 --> 00:51:27,061
Sam, the waiter, there were some strange

1051
00:51:27,385 --> 00:51:29,753
tendencies already at play.

1052
00:51:30,058 --> 00:51:32,434
Another claim Tati had was at her birthday

1053
00:51:32,704 --> 00:51:34,947
dinner she had tried to tell James the

1054
00:51:35,192 --> 00:51:37,076
waiter was straight and to leave him alone

1055
00:51:37,345 --> 00:51:39,837
He replied saying it doesn't matter. I'm

1056
00:51:40,067 --> 00:51:42,388
so famous, right? Well , it turns out

1057
00:51:42,651 --> 00:51:45,466
that was actually a lie as well, because

1058
00:51:45,701 --> 00:51:47,646
there are screenshots of James and all

1059
00:51:47,914 --> 00:51:50,555
of his friends including Tati making the

1060
00:51:50,895 --> 00:51:53,257
same joke where they say "We're so famous"

1061
00:51:53,547 --> 00:51:56,206
like definitely it was not supposed to be

1062
00:51:56,448 --> 00:51:58,281
a serious thing. Again, really

1063
00:51:58,543 --> 00:52:00,345
interesting. I don't understand the

1064
00:52:00,624 --> 00:52:03,303
choices to lie about something so petty,

1065
00:52:03,541 --> 00:52:05,101
especially when you are overall message

1066
00:52:05,392 --> 00:52:07,366
was supposed to be about something as

1067
00:52:07,607 --> 00:52:10,173
serious as like sexual misconduct

1068
00:52:10,476 --> 00:52:12,583
allegations. And speaking of Sam, the

1069
00:52:12,838 --> 00:52:14,363
waiter, James has screenshots of their

1070
00:52:14,658 --> 00:52:17,043
conversations as well. And in these

1071
00:52:17,310 --> 00:52:19,235
screenshots you can clearly see that

1072
00:52:19,496 --> 00:52:21,569
Same had actually told him straight up

1073
00:52:21,839 --> 00:52:24,471
that he was bisexual. So this is where it

1074
00:52:24,733 --> 00:52:26,392
gets kind of interesting cause Sam didn't

1075
00:52:26,649 --> 00:52:28,444
mentioned this in his side of the story.

1076
00:52:28,733 --> 00:52:30,166
After they agreed to stop their

1077
00:52:30,427 --> 00:52:31,903
relationship, James had blocked him.

1078
00:52:32,415 --> 00:52:34,491
And after this, Sam had used his friend's

1079
00:52:34,764 --> 00:52:38,293
phone to DM James from his account and

1080
00:52:38,619 --> 00:52:42,238
blocked and why he actually figured out

1081
00:52:42,449 --> 00:52:43,438
that he was full gay so that he could get

1082
00:52:43,663 --> 00:52:46,048
him on a FaceTime call and record him.

1083
00:52:46,366 --> 00:52:48,531
Instead of talking to James about his gay

1084
00:52:48,801 --> 00:52:51,302
revelation, he asked James if he was

1085
00:52:51,616 --> 00:52:53,871
talking to Gage at the same time that they

1086
00:52:54,197 --> 00:52:56,036
were talking. At this point, Sam told

1087
00:52:56,579 --> 00:52:58,339
James that he wasn't actually gay. He was

1088
00:52:58,574 --> 00:53:00,037
just trying to get him on this phone call

1089
00:53:00,413 --> 00:53:03,297
and so James hung up. But then, after the

1090
00:53:03,596 --> 00:53:05,995
call, Sam text him that he basically

1091
00:53:06,284 --> 00:53:08,792
confirmed bi, which it why in Sam's video

1092
00:53:09,102 --> 00:53:11,146
you saw the screenshot of James saying

1093
00:53:11,456 --> 00:53:13,515
that you are not straight, You are not

1094
00:53:13,766 --> 00:53:14,515
ever going to be straight. The sooner you

1095
00:53:14,846 --> 00:53:16,862
figure that out the better, etc. Now

1096
00:53:17,184 --> 00:53:19,963
outside of Tati's allegations, Jeffree

1097
00:53:20,234 --> 00:53:22,595
Star had personally been texted James

1098
00:53:22,918 --> 00:53:25,363
that he had a bunch a dirt on him and

1099
00:53:25,607 --> 00:53:27,474
that he was gonna expose him for various

1100
00:53:27,773 --> 00:53:30,036
things sooner or later, And so, at this

1101
00:53:30,353 --> 00:53:31,667
point in "No More Lies", we start to

1102
00:53:31,946 --> 00:53:34,619
address that. And so Jeffree's claims are

1103
00:53:34,887 --> 00:53:37,504
as follows: Number one: that James has

1104
00:53:37,776 --> 00:53:39,648
been talking shit about him. Number two:

1105
00:53:40,194 --> 00:53:42,265
that James had to try to Jeffree's

1106
00:53:42,507 --> 00:53:44,334
brother in law to like him and sent him

1107
00:53:44,634 --> 00:53:47,050
unsolicited, inappropriate pictures. And

1108
00:53:47,401 --> 00:53:50,268
thirdly, James trapped Sam the the waiter

1109
00:53:50,586 --> 00:53:52,728
in his hotel and that they were all gonna

1110
00:53:53,081 --> 00:53:55,129
get together and film a video about how

1111
00:53:55,447 --> 00:53:59,649
that happened and expose. Lastly, and

1112
00:53:59,982 --> 00:54:02,393
this is the craziest one that he had tried

1113
00:54:02,624 --> 00:54:05,286
to touch and molest Grayson Dolan in his

1114
00:54:05,559 --> 00:54:07,855
sleep and made him uncomfortable for

1115
00:54:08,154 --> 00:54:10,484
months. James' rebuttal to these claims

1116
00:54:10,793 --> 00:54:13,279
were that he had only talked to Jeffree's

1117
00:54:13,570 --> 00:54:16,454
brother-in-law a handful of times and

1118
00:54:16,704 --> 00:54:18,727
it was nothing inappropriate. And next,

1119
00:54:18,970 --> 00:54:21,041
the trapping Sam in the hotel room thing

1120
00:54:21,306 --> 00:54:23,316
we know is not true because Sam. himself,

1121
00:54:23,610 --> 00:54:25,799
said so. And then finally, the rebuttal

1122
00:54:26,063 --> 00:54:28,647
for the most serious and crazy allegation

1123
00:54:28,925 --> 00:54:31,176
is that this is simply not true and that

1124
00:54:31,424 --> 00:54:33,212
the rejection jokes that was in the

1125
00:54:33,442 --> 00:54:34,975
sister's squad videos were pretty much

1126
00:54:35,349 --> 00:54:37,507
all staged. James also claims that the

1127
00:54:37,748 --> 00:54:40,034
Dolan twins were among the first to call

1128
00:54:40,274 --> 00:54:42,168
him and make sure he was alright and

1129
00:54:42,423 --> 00:54:44,907
during the initial bisister of the

1130
00:54:45,367 --> 00:54:46,933
dramageddon of it all. There weren't any

1131
00:54:47,135 --> 00:54:48,790
receipts for that. We don't really know

1132
00:54:49,093 --> 00:54:51,630
what happened between them and neither

1133
00:54:51,916 --> 00:54:54,383
of the Dolan twins ever refollowed James,

1134
00:54:54,730 --> 00:54:57,518
so there is that as well. We'll talk a

1135
00:54:57,771 --> 00:54:59,332
little bit more about the Dolans later

1136
00:54:59,606 --> 00:55:01,445
on. But all in all, "No More Lies"

1137
00:55:01,732 --> 00:55:04,092
changed the YouTube landscape for weeks

1138
00:55:04,442 --> 00:55:06,884
and flipped the entire situation on it's

1139
00:55:07,126 --> 00:55:09,049
head. Like, never in my life have I seen

1140
00:55:09,313 --> 00:55:12,064
people switch up this fast before. And

1141
00:55:12,311 --> 00:55:14,359
despite every body being this initially

1142
00:55:14,587 --> 00:55:15,909
being on Tati's side in all of this,

1143
00:55:16,187 --> 00:55:17,811
right after this video dropped, his

1144
00:55:18,038 --> 00:55:19,730
subscriber account rise again and

1145
00:55:19,994 --> 00:55:24,455
meanwhile, Tati's began to fall. Speaking

1146
00:55:24,720 --> 00:55:26,987
of Tati, her immediate reponse to "No More

1147
00:55:27,261 --> 00:55:29,507
Lies" was to get on Twitter and say

1148
00:55:29,892 --> 00:55:30,554
things like this:

1149
00:55:30,884 --> 00:55:32,827
I have left town on a digital break to

1150
00:55:33,075 --> 00:55:36,465
heal and pray for healing on all sides. My

1151
00:55:36,719 --> 00:55:38,312
family made me aware on what was just

1152
00:55:38,553 --> 00:55:40,468
posted and I am disappointed ro see

1153
00:55:40,745 --> 00:55:42,856
it littered with so many lies and half

1154
00:55:43,165 --> 00:55:46,883
truths. I stand by my videos. Do not twist

1155
00:55:47,175 --> 00:55:49,474
my words to what they are not, hear the

1156
00:55:49,776 --> 00:55:50,464
message.

1157
00:55:50,833 --> 00:55:52,594
Dudes, can I be totally honest with you

1158
00:55:52,957 --> 00:55:55,067
guys right now? The way Tati speaks

1159
00:55:55,355 --> 00:55:58,179
like she's the Buddhist monk pisses me

1160
00:55:58,449 --> 00:56:00,408
off! She also posted a couple of

1161
00:56:00,622 --> 00:56:02,184
other Tweets but they basicaaly said the

1162
00:56:02,453 --> 00:56:04,725
same exact thing like, "Praying on all

1163
00:56:04,978 --> 00:56:07,423
sides", "Peace and love" da ba duh

1164
00:56:07,695 --> 00:56:09,809
Then she goes on to like a novel length

1165
00:56:10,092 --> 00:56:12,740
post and the TLDR that I give you says:

1166
00:56:13,009 --> 00:56:15,680
"I spent all the last few years building

1167
00:56:16,142 --> 00:56:18,584
up a career on honesty, integrity and

1168
00:56:18,847 --> 00:56:20,678
truth. But let me tell you guys that

1169
00:56:20,989 --> 00:56:23,767
Tati is a makeup reviewer. She basically

1170
00:56:24,028 --> 00:56:25,768
says things like "I hope that our

1171
00:56:26,119 --> 00:56:28,402
community is somehow strengthened from

1172
00:56:28,657 --> 00:56:30,711
all this madness and that we will all

1173
00:56:30,948 --> 00:56:32,819
strive to hold ourselves and each other

1174
00:56:33,057 --> 00:56:34,300
to a higher standard".

1175
00:56:34,586 --> 00:56:36,815
Girl, what?!? Jeffree Star also

1176
00:56:37,074 --> 00:56:38,917
immediately got on Twitter and said:

1177
00:56:39,228 --> 00:56:41,897
"Everyone keeps asking me for receipts...

1178
00:56:42,231 --> 00:56:45,111
I have so much to say and some really sad

1179
00:56:45,388 --> 00:56:47,435
and disgusting things to show you guys.

1180
00:56:47,778 --> 00:56:50,245
James Charles tried to mass manipulate

1181
00:56:50,495 --> 00:56:52,428
all of you today. When I show you

1182
00:56:52,691 --> 00:56:54,583
the proof and why I tweeted

1183
00:56:54,900 --> 00:56:57,412
the tweet about him, you'll understand"

1184
00:56:57,729 --> 00:57:03,943
and get this. Get this! Tati deletes Bye

1185
00:57:04,264 --> 00:57:07,424
Sister after just typing up novels about

1186
00:57:07,667 --> 00:57:10,255
how she said she said what she said and

1187
00:57:10,504 --> 00:57:11,536
she stands by it, And she is praying for

1188
00:57:11,781 --> 00:57:13,629
everyone on all sides. I hope the

1189
00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:15,923
community gets stronger out of this.

1190
00:57:16,212 --> 00:57:18,512
Like she can't claim that this was for the

1191
00:57:18,789 --> 00:57:20,271
betterment of society in and then

1192
00:57:20,500 --> 00:57:22,724
take it down. She then took like a week

1193
00:57:23,007 --> 00:57:24,932
and a half off of YouTube and returned

1194
00:57:25,212 --> 00:57:28,096
video called "I'm Back" and it's literally

1195
00:57:28,367 --> 00:57:30,343
just a makeup tutorial, She just pretends

1196
00:57:30,630 --> 00:57:34,045
like none of that even happened. And as

1197
00:57:34,275 --> 00:57:35,993
you can see here, the audience was just

1198
00:57:36,241 --> 00:57:39,624
really confused by this, The top comment

1199
00:57:39,900 --> 00:57:43,618
literally "Tati, I stand by everything I

1200
00:57:43,855 --> 00:57:47,174
said". Also,, Tati deletes video a day

1201
00:57:47,416 --> 00:57:50,122
after the Tati video. Sam, the waiter,

1202
00:57:50,366 --> 00:57:52,623
returns to the internet with a new

1203
00:57:52,875 --> 00:57:55,505
video titled "I'm sorry James Charles".

1204
00:57:55,758 --> 00:57:57,748
In it, he says that his friends and his

1205
00:57:57,986 --> 00:58:00,613
family pressured him to continue talking

1206
00:58:00,847 --> 00:58:03,336
to James and even typed out some of the

1207
00:58:03,624 --> 00:58:06,230
messages to James pretending to be Sam.

1208
00:58:06,541 --> 00:58:09,059
He also says that they hold him to be

1209
00:58:09,280 --> 00:58:10,989
just pretend to be gay and to date James

1210
00:58:11,235 --> 00:58:14,082
to get all the opportunities that would

1211
00:58:14,333 --> 00:58:15,185
come with that.

1212
00:58:15,456 --> 00:58:20,966
*inaudible

1213
00:58:21,175 --> 00:58:23,004
James returned to YouTube in a very

1214
00:58:23,257 --> 00:58:26,470
pleasant audience and a very different

1215
00:58:26,689 --> 00:58:29,916
internet compared to a just a few short

1216
00:58:30,114 --> 00:58:32,368
weeks a go. By all standards, Tati's video

1217
00:58:32,655 --> 00:58:34,222
should have been that final nail

1218
00:58:34,783 --> 00:58:36,873
in the coffin and impossible to come

1219
00:58:37,195 --> 00:58:40,516
back from, but there he was an amazing

1220
00:58:40,845 --> 00:58:42,641
comeback story at the time.

1221
00:58:43,190 --> 00:58:45,604
In November of 2019, Tati was still

1222
00:58:45,866 --> 00:58:48,851
trying to fully ignore what happened and

1223
00:58:49,097 --> 00:58:51,991
move on despite on not saying anything

1224
00:58:52,234 --> 00:58:54,060
and then she wants to make a brand

1225
00:58:54,261 --> 00:58:57,021
called Tati Beaity and spoiler alert, both

1226
00:58:57,265 --> 00:58:59,896
Tati Beauty and Halo Beauty would not

1227
00:59:00,167 --> 00:59:02,333
survive the upcoming pandemic.

1228
00:59:02,598 --> 00:59:05,325
And despite everything that Jeffree had

1229
00:59:05,584 --> 00:59:07,701
said about James being a disgusting

1230
00:59:07,962 --> 00:59:10,137
monster and how he had all these receipts.

1231
00:59:10,381 --> 00:59:13,137
He was ready to expose him. By March of

1232
00:59:13,421 --> 00:59:16,272
2020, he had done a full 180 and even

1233
00:59:16,660 --> 00:59:19,002
left us a supported comment on one of

1234
00:59:19,267 --> 00:59:21,483
James' post. I mean this is Jeffree Star

1235
00:59:21,723 --> 00:59:23,166
we are talking about so it isn't that

1236
00:59:23,359 --> 00:59:25,849
surprising. Jeffree Star, very lore heavy,

1237
00:59:26,122 --> 00:59:28,469
evil man. Even then, Jeffree then posted

1238
00:59:29,856 --> 00:59:30,867
a video title "Never Doing This Again"

1239
00:59:32,619 --> 00:59:34,933
and I know just from that title you are

1240
00:59:35,205 --> 00:59:37,270
thinking, "What, what is he never going

1241
00:59:37,604 --> 00:59:39,570
to do again?" In this video he basically

1242
00:59:39,859 --> 00:59:42,128
says, "Just because I said that I hate

1243
00:59:42,604 --> 00:59:45,020
James Charles and I want him to die

1244
00:59:45,367 --> 00:59:48,376
he's disgusting, doesn't mean I hate

1245
00:59:48,732 --> 00:59:50,195
James Charles."

1246
00:59:50,699 --> 00:59:52,714
Because I said those things, that does

1247
00:59:53,328 --> 00:59:54,419
that not mean that I hate James Charles.

1248
00:59:54,792 --> 00:59:56,311
But my personal favorite part of this

1249
00:59:56,530 --> 00:59:58,241
video is when he says there's no hate in

1250
00:59:58,504 --> 00:59:59,048
this heart..

1251
00:59:59,354 --> 01:00:01,085
There is no actual hate in this heart.

1252
01:00:01,361 --> 01:00:03,185
He also says that he's not going to give

1253
01:00:03,428 --> 01:00:04,403
the people what they want.

1254
01:00:04,894 --> 01:00:07,331
He's not going to come out with receipts

1255
01:00:07,682 --> 01:00:09,237
and cancel anyone today.

1256
01:00:09,736 --> 01:00:11,106
They want me to open up my phone and

1257
01:00:11,367 --> 01:00:13,537
expect me to expose it all.

1258
01:00:13,818 --> 01:00:15,039
He basically says that he was being

1259
01:00:15,302 --> 01:00:19,830
manipulated about James and being fed

1260
01:00:20,109 --> 01:00:22,915
things that wasn't necessarily true.

1261
01:00:23,165 --> 01:00:24,702
There are people telling me a lot of stuff

1262
01:00:25,081 --> 01:00:26,543
The video ends by him saying that he's

1263
01:00:26,818 --> 01:00:28,064
done with the tea and he's done with the

1264
01:00:28,305 --> 01:00:30,688
drama. He would then precede to have to

1265
01:00:31,109 --> 01:00:34,176
and the Tati and drama for the next like

1266
01:00:34,393 --> 01:00:35,225
four years. And something important to

1267
01:00:36,402 --> 01:00:38,026
note is that during this time, both

1268
01:00:38,352 --> 01:00:41,958
Jeffree and Shane Dodsan were pretty much

1269
01:00:42,262 --> 01:00:44,459
PR nightmares and there was both trying

1270
01:00:44,754 --> 01:00:47,305
to like quickly clean up and do a little

1271
01:00:47,570 --> 01:00:50,881
damage control and fans found resurfaced

1272
01:00:51,166 --> 01:00:53,776
images and videos of them doing various

1273
01:00:54,063 --> 01:00:56,688
problematic things. And, imagine that as

1274
01:00:56,967 --> 01:00:59,829
Jeffree Star's fans are demanding him to

1275
01:01:00,099 --> 01:01:01,636
take accountability for some old

1276
01:01:02,250 --> 01:01:04,907
problematic stuff. He decides it's time

1277
01:01:05,217 --> 01:01:07,469
to rewrite history a little bit when

1278
01:01:07,736 --> 01:01:10,598
it comes to his loyalty to James Charles.

1279
01:01:10,908 --> 01:01:13,620
Meanwhile, Shane Dolsan was having a

1280
01:01:13,889 --> 01:01:16,567
much harder time dealing with facing

1281
01:01:16,887 --> 01:01:19,854
his actions, because the thing about Shane

1282
01:01:20,151 --> 01:01:22,822
Dolsan is that he crumbles. He crumbles

1283
01:01:23,156 --> 01:01:24,771
under pressure. Meanwhile, Jeffree

1284
01:01:25,029 --> 01:01:26,633
Star, like I don't want to harm

1285
01:01:26,848 --> 01:01:29,379
psychology him, but he like might actually

1286
01:01:29,707 --> 01:01:32,697
be a psychopath. He is able to lie himself

1287
01:01:32,963 --> 01:01:35,582
out of any situation. Just like that.

1288
01:01:36,111 --> 01:01:38,505
Easy, simple. But this guy having to face

1289
01:01:38,790 --> 01:01:40,992
the ramifications of let's see. Let's

1290
01:01:41,241 --> 01:01:42,647
check our notes. Umm..

1291
01:01:43,403 --> 01:01:45,162
Black face. Racist characters.

1292
01:01:45,528 --> 01:01:47,852
Said the n-word. Said very various

1293
01:01:48,102 --> 01:01:49,949
other slurs. Various instances of

1294
01:01:50,263 --> 01:01:54,363
sexualizing minors and etc. There

1295
01:01:54,637 --> 01:01:56,119
was so much backlash with this that

1296
01:01:56,426 --> 01:01:58,889
YouTube temporarily demonatized Shane's

1297
01:01:59,213 --> 01:02:01,493
channel, which is really funny because it

1298
01:02:01,807 --> 01:02:03,863
all comes back to him not being able to

1299
01:02:04,124 --> 01:02:05,681
handle the heat. Like Jeffree Star's

1300
01:02:05,979 --> 01:02:08,686
channel, fine. What did Jeffree Star do?

1301
01:02:08,983 --> 01:02:11,698
A lot. Pretty similar things actually, but

1302
01:02:11,947 --> 01:02:13,909
he could take the heat and so imagine

1303
01:02:14,204 --> 01:02:15,894
you are on your tenth Youtube apology

1304
01:02:16,191 --> 01:02:17,664
pretty much and you have a bunch of

1305
01:02:17,942 --> 01:02:20,170
dirty little bug bites al over your neck

1306
01:02:20,480 --> 01:02:22,050
ok and you have scabies and you're

1307
01:02:22,335 --> 01:02:23,566
salivating *hag

1308
01:02:25,169 --> 01:02:26,415
I am so sorry that I sexualized Will

1309
01:02:26,734 --> 01:02:27,670
Smith. Nobody gives a f***!

1310
01:02:28,276 --> 01:02:29,412
Shane Dolsan f******cry.

1311
01:02:29,749 --> 01:02:31,478
Shane Dolson, that is your mindset ok.

1312
01:02:31,783 --> 01:02:32,998
You are going just a little bit loopy

1313
01:02:33,725 --> 01:02:36,745
already and then June 30th, Tati drops

1314
01:02:37,021 --> 01:02:39,440
a video called "Breaking My Silence".

1315
01:02:39,760 --> 01:02:42,906
And in this video, Tati says that she

1316
01:02:43,187 --> 01:02:46,195
was coerced into making bisister by

1317
01:02:46,450 --> 01:02:49,711
Shane Dolsan and Jeffree Star.

1318
01:02:50,021 --> 01:02:51,773
I made it as a result of all of the

1319
01:02:52,055 --> 01:02:53,967
poisonous lies that were fed to me by

1320
01:02:54,258 --> 01:02:55,894
Shane Dawson and Jeffree Star.

1321
01:02:56,249 --> 01:02:59,586
Fuck! This is so Netflix short little

1322
01:02:59,857 --> 01:03:02,311
special coded, limited series. There you

1323
01:03:02,551 --> 01:03:04,252
go! That's the fucking word. So Tati says

1324
01:03:04,530 --> 01:03:06,483
that she's apologized to James Charles

1325
01:03:06,796 --> 01:03:09,186
and that they met up together in private

1326
01:03:09,475 --> 01:03:11,467
and compared screenshots that they have

1327
01:03:11,757 --> 01:03:13,877
from both Jeffree and Shane

1328
01:03:14,145 --> 01:03:16,442
and come to the conclusion that this

1329
01:03:16,726 --> 01:03:17,976
whole thing was a mass

1330
01:03:18,358 --> 01:03:20,825
manipulation from both of them.

1331
01:03:21,109 --> 01:03:22,715
And according to Tati, she learned

1332
01:03:23,010 --> 01:03:24,794
that being friends with Jeffree Star

1333
01:03:25,098 --> 01:03:27,702
is like being friends with a lion.

1334
01:03:27,974 --> 01:03:29,099
I learned that being friends with Jeffree

1335
01:03:29,338 --> 01:03:31,291
Star like being friends with a lion. He

1336
01:03:31,538 --> 01:03:33,350
may have been dangerous but he was always

1337
01:03:33,623 --> 01:03:34,479
really kind to me.

1338
01:03:34,751 --> 01:03:38,153
Mind you, anybody at any age can be

1339
01:03:38,441 --> 01:03:41,146
manipulated. This is a very true.

1340
01:03:41,412 --> 01:03:44,878
However, in my opinion, there is no way

1341
01:03:45,159 --> 01:03:46,898
that she's not at least partially

1342
01:03:47,220 --> 01:03:49,846
responsible for some of this. And I can't

1343
01:03:50,113 --> 01:03:51,613
stress this enough okay. Don't freak out.

1344
01:03:51,870 --> 01:03:53,854
Don't freak out. Every character in this

1345
01:03:54,136 --> 01:03:56,649
story sucks. We have our main character,

1346
01:03:56,945 --> 01:03:59,725
predator backing in oven. We got racist

1347
01:04:00,504 --> 01:04:05,220
guy #1. We have a racist guy # 2 and at

1348
01:04:05,524 --> 01:04:09,053
least, petty vitamin woman. So on this v

1349
01:04:09,304 --> 01:04:11,463
video Tati makes a series of new claims,

1350
01:04:11,775 --> 01:04:14,761
okay. So, first off, she says that when

1351
01:04:15,057 --> 01:04:16,932
she met Jeffree Star, she knew he had a

1352
01:04:17,233 --> 01:04:19,146
controversial past but that she took it

1353
01:04:19,427 --> 01:04:21,475
among herself to try to make him a better

1354
01:04:21,737 --> 01:04:23,909
person and that get him involved with her

1355
01:04:24,177 --> 01:04:26,839
favorite charity, which did not work. She

1356
01:04:27,089 --> 01:04:29,089
also claims to have known nothing about

1357
01:04:29,358 --> 01:04:31,229
Shane Dawson's past and that she

1358
01:04:31,498 --> 01:04:33,857
did no research on him like all she knew

1359
01:04:34,169 --> 01:04:37,215
that he was the "most adored documentarian

1360
01:04:37,425 --> 01:04:37,943
on YouTube".

1361
01:04:38,222 --> 01:04:40,094
I wish I had educated myself and I was

1362
01:04:40,330 --> 01:04:41,360
aware of his earlier content.

1363
01:04:41,787 --> 01:04:45,031
In my opinion, this truly doesn't add up

1364
01:04:45,306 --> 01:04:47,367
because we are talking about Shane *gasp

1365
01:04:47,604 --> 01:04:49,521
Dawson. But anyways, she goes on to say

1366
01:04:49,775 --> 01:04:51,937
that Shane told her that he was making

1367
01:04:52,232 --> 01:04:54,255
a documentary about the beauty community.

1368
01:04:54,556 --> 01:04:56,521
and that it is rapidly developing and

1369
01:04:56,773 --> 01:04:59,417
rapidly changing due to new information

1370
01:04:59,807 --> 01:05:01,573
that Jeffree Star had collected on

1371
01:05:01,857 --> 01:05:04,009
James Charles. She said it was Shane's

1372
01:05:04,380 --> 01:05:07,213
idea to make bisister and even went as

1373
01:05:07,444 --> 01:05:09,307
far as to offer to edit it for her.

1374
01:05:09,588 --> 01:05:11,911
And when Tati hesitated, he sent her

1375
01:05:12,206 --> 01:05:14,760
a voice memo about an alleged victim of

1376
01:05:15,023 --> 01:05:15,391
James.

1377
01:05:16,289 --> 01:05:17,442
It wasn't enough for me to contact the

1378
01:05:17,681 --> 01:05:19,076
authorities. It was enough to scare me.

1379
01:05:19,344 --> 01:05:21,828
Jeffree and Shane claimed that as soon as

1380
01:05:22,065 --> 01:05:24,234
she posted bisister, a plethora of

1381
01:05:24,515 --> 01:05:26,417
victims were going to come forward.

1382
01:05:26,712 --> 01:05:29,022
But then they never did. Tati goes on

1383
01:05:29,260 --> 01:05:31,223
to theorize that Shane and Jeffree

1384
01:05:31,465 --> 01:05:33,264
actually orchestrated this whole thing

1385
01:05:33,535 --> 01:05:36,040
as a plot to destroy James because they

1386
01:05:36,320 --> 01:05:39,306
were jealous of his career trajectory and

1387
01:05:39,550 --> 01:05:41,991
they wanted as much attention as possible

1388
01:05:42,258 --> 01:05:44,025
when they released their collaborative

1389
01:05:44,303 --> 01:05:46,793
palette the "Conspiracy palette". She then

1390
01:05:47,041 --> 01:05:49,442
gets super tin-foiled-atty at the end and

1391
01:05:49,711 --> 01:05:51,498
says that she believes that there were

1392
01:05:51,746 --> 01:05:53,925
many more players involved to

1393
01:05:54,143 --> 01:05:55,947
orchestrate this whole thing, and that it

1394
01:05:56,174 --> 01:05:58,295
is not a coincidence that after the whole

1395
01:05:58,535 --> 01:06:00,544
fallout, Morphe came out with gummy

1396
01:06:00,828 --> 01:06:01,410
vitamins.

1397
01:06:01,684 --> 01:06:03,796
I do not think it is a coincidence that

1398
01:06:04,011 --> 01:06:05,468
Morphe is about to launch their own

1399
01:06:05,708 --> 01:06:07,815
brand of hair and nail gummy vitamins.

1400
01:06:08,084 --> 01:06:10,139
I have beef with every single one of

1401
01:06:10,396 --> 01:06:11,491
these people. Like we can grab. I don't

1402
01:06:11,744 --> 01:06:13,541
give a shit. But Tati, even though she is

1403
01:06:13,843 --> 01:06:15,928
not the biggest villain here by far,

1404
01:06:16,197 --> 01:06:18,498
really irks me because I feel like she

1405
01:06:18,765 --> 01:06:21,091
acted completely out of selfishness.

1406
01:06:21,403 --> 01:06:23,195
I agree that it is plausible to have

1407
01:06:23,462 --> 01:06:25,352
been manipulated by Shane ad Jeffree,

1408
01:06:25,611 --> 01:06:28,369
like especially Jeffree. But if Tati

1409
01:06:28,611 --> 01:06:32,568
truly, truly believed that the allegations

1410
01:06:32,826 --> 01:06:34,326
that Shane and Jeffree were telling her

1411
01:06:34,617 --> 01:06:36,185
were real and that serious, why did she

1412
01:06:36,500 --> 01:06:39,523
make the majority of bisister about gummy

1413
01:06:39,780 --> 01:06:41,950
vitamins? Why did she falsely accuse him

1414
01:06:42,204 --> 01:06:44,149
of sexually harassing waiter amongst other

1415
01:06:44,494 --> 01:06:47,012
things. Conclusively, the entire video

1416
01:06:47,468 --> 01:06:49,754
was based on somebody else's lies, but

1417
01:06:50,047 --> 01:06:52,679
she double downed on it multiple times

1418
01:06:52,977 --> 01:06:55,262
over the course of several months and

1419
01:06:55,580 --> 01:06:58,023
holds virtually no accountability for

1420
01:06:58,280 --> 01:07:00,663
causing the cultural switch against James,

1421
01:07:00,947 --> 01:07:03,262
who at this point, she is saying is

1422
01:07:03,552 --> 01:07:05,539
completely innocent. And like above all

1423
01:07:05,794 --> 01:07:07,394
else, I think the biggest issue is the

1424
01:07:07,631 --> 01:07:09,236
fact that she says that there's a voice

1425
01:07:09,621 --> 01:07:11,757
memo that is damning enough

1426
01:07:12,044 --> 01:07:13,793
that warranted her going through

1427
01:07:14,088 --> 01:07:16,111
with that public flogging, yet now

1428
01:07:16,383 --> 01:07:18,461
she is saying wait! That wasn't real.

1429
01:07:18,732 --> 01:07:20,169
And the question you might be asking

1430
01:07:20,447 --> 01:07:22,983
right now is what the fuck is in the

1431
01:07:23,247 --> 01:07:26,496
voice memo? Well, it's currently 2024 and

1432
01:07:26,761 --> 01:07:28,902
we still don't have the answer to that.

1433
01:07:29,203 --> 01:07:31,269
But there's been a ton of speculation

1434
01:07:31,556 --> 01:07:34,402
as to who it is. A lot of people theorize

1435
01:07:34,624 --> 01:07:36,158
that it's Grace and Dolan since Jeffree

1436
01:07:36,407 --> 01:07:39,460
made that claim about James molesting

1437
01:07:39,662 --> 01:07:41,034
him in his sleep. People also think this

1438
01:07:41,319 --> 01:07:43,459
because by the cultural shift back to

1439
01:07:43,766 --> 01:07:46,246
liking James, the Dolan twins still

1440
01:07:46,558 --> 01:07:47,861
haven't followed him back or even

1441
01:07:48,248 --> 01:07:50,782
publicly spoke to him but I'm not saying

1442
01:07:51,060 --> 01:07:52,985
that I believe this. This is just a

1443
01:07:53,212 --> 01:07:55,752
theory. I hope that's not true. With

1444
01:07:56,010 --> 01:07:58,251
Jeffree Star though, it is really hard to

1445
01:07:58,495 --> 01:08:00,632
tell what is actually true and

1446
01:08:00,944 --> 01:08:03,352
what's total bunk, because he seems to

1447
01:08:03,611 --> 01:08:06,459
always merge partial truths with lies.

1448
01:08:06,741 --> 01:08:09,500
And so it's like okay, part of this

1449
01:08:09,703 --> 01:08:11,000
could be true but that might not make the

1450
01:08:11,378 --> 01:08:13,366
entire story have validity. But in the

1451
01:08:13,653 --> 01:08:15,671
aftermath of the breaking my silence

1452
01:08:15,935 --> 01:08:18,162
video, Shane Dawson gets on a Intagram

1453
01:08:18,435 --> 01:08:20,341
live stream and starts like tweaking.

1454
01:08:20,608 --> 01:08:22,080
This is insane! This is insane! This

1455
01:08:22,414 --> 01:08:24,993
woman is like a fucking, omg!

1456
01:08:25,239 --> 01:08:27,614
This entire live stream consists of him

1457
01:08:28,244 --> 01:08:29,990
calling Tati a liar and running around

1458
01:08:30,528 --> 01:08:32,693
his house like he just drank iced coffee

1459
01:08:32,919 --> 01:08:34,011
and he has to take a shit.

1460
01:08:35,479 --> 01:08:36,244
I can't, I can't. I don't want to say mean

1461
01:08:36,471 --> 01:08:37,744
things about people. This is insane.

1462
01:08:37,983 --> 01:08:38,598
This is insane.

1463
01:08:38,868 --> 01:08:40,646
It's actually hilarious because I love

1464
01:08:41,226 --> 01:08:42,816
shaming Shane Dawson while he's down

1465
01:08:43,069 --> 01:08:44,495
and I would again. For legal purposes this

1466
01:08:44,863 --> 01:08:46,510
is a joke, but I wish that we could

1467
01:08:47,450 --> 01:08:48,953
collectively blast Shane Dawson into the

1468
01:08:50,767 --> 01:08:52,077
sun. James Just responds to all this

1469
01:08:52,330 --> 01:08:53,145
public freaking out that's just a tweet

1470
01:08:53,418 --> 01:08:54,901
that says "love you guys!"

1471
01:08:56,199 --> 01:08:57,409
All this same day, Trisha

1472
01:08:57,741 --> 01:09:00,123
also uploaded a video called "Tati's dumb

1473
01:09:00,496 --> 01:09:02,270
as hell" which I only mentioning because

1474
01:09:02,750 --> 01:09:05,187
it is so off the cuff and untethered.

1475
01:09:05,535 --> 01:09:07,344
And to summarize it in one clip:

1476
01:09:07,649 --> 01:09:12,854
"I was beyond gaslit, no we are just

1477
01:09:13,168 --> 01:09:13,619
stupid".

1478
01:09:13,919 --> 01:09:15,303
In the following days, Morphe cut ties

1479
01:09:15,669 --> 01:09:16,576
with Jeffree Star.

1480
01:09:16,867 --> 01:09:18,390
Morphe said they made the decision

1481
01:09:18,629 --> 01:09:20,233
to cease all commercial activity related

1482
01:09:20,517 --> 01:09:22,175
to Jeffree Star and related products

1483
01:09:22,506 --> 01:09:23,706
within the coming in the coming weeks.

1484
01:09:23,966 --> 01:09:25,314
And in the April 20th, he would go on

1485
01:09:25,603 --> 01:09:27,713
mom's basement podcast and reaffirm

1486
01:09:28,017 --> 01:09:29,958
to keep Team Star that James Charles

1487
01:09:30,227 --> 01:09:32,313
is a monster and that he still has the

1488
01:09:32,600 --> 01:09:34,896
voice memo of the alleged victim but

1489
01:09:35,122 --> 01:09:36,857
doesn't want to publicly out them.

1490
01:09:37,195 --> 01:09:40,697
Yet 2 months later, on July 18th, 2020,

1491
01:09:40,965 --> 01:09:43,120
he would release a video called "Doing

1492
01:09:43,344 --> 01:09:45,938
what's right" and in this video Jeffree

1493
01:09:46,148 --> 01:09:47,911
says a whole lot of f***** up.

1494
01:09:48,528 --> 01:09:50,542
He's like "Hey guys, I am not going

1495
01:09:50,773 --> 01:09:53,024
cancel anyone today. Sorry, I am not

1496
01:09:53,265 --> 01:09:54,813
coming in with steaming hot tea today

1497
01:09:55,320 --> 01:09:55,675
ya'll."

1498
01:09:56,063 --> 01:09:57,764
Today I will not be sitting her showing

1499
01:09:58,006 --> 01:09:59,642
a million texts messages and all these

1500
01:09:59,992 --> 01:10:02,063
things that allegedly are out there.

1501
01:10:02,350 --> 01:10:04,233
He goes on to say that he's done with

1502
01:10:04,465 --> 01:10:06,234
all the drama and that's there bigger

1503
01:10:06,544 --> 01:10:08,983
things in the world to worry about and

1504
01:10:09,216 --> 01:10:11,441
I honestly forgot that this apology

1505
01:10:11,768 --> 01:10:14,638
happened in 2020. So I was sent into a

1506
01:10:14,910 --> 01:10:17,359
whole whiplash when I heard him

1507
01:10:17,625 --> 01:10:19,891
say that we need to focus on Black Lives

1508
01:10:20,160 --> 01:10:23,486
Matter. Okay, back up. We are backing up.

1509
01:10:23,756 --> 01:10:27,269
Jeffree, first of all, you've made a lot

1510
01:10:27,530 --> 01:10:29,431
of claims buddy, and now you are coming

1511
01:10:29,686 --> 01:10:31,951
on your being like sorry, I am not

1512
01:10:32,222 --> 01:10:36,231
involved in any of this drama, "Drama",

1513
01:10:36,534 --> 01:10:38,292
when it is something supposedly serious.

1514
01:10:38,589 --> 01:10:40,232
And then you are deflecting the

1515
01:10:40,491 --> 01:10:42,042
conversation on to Black Lives Matter?

1516
01:10:42,345 --> 01:10:45,796
What? What? He literally uses murdered

1517
01:10:46,085 --> 01:10:48,075
people of color to take the attention off

1518
01:10:48,367 --> 01:10:51,152
of him, making claims that James is

1519
01:10:51,422 --> 01:10:51,920
a predator.

1520
01:10:52,194 --> 01:10:54,379
Black trans men are being murdered

1521
01:10:54,613 --> 01:10:55,987
every day and the news is silent.

1522
01:10:56,308 --> 01:10:57,964
Like, there are no words to describe this

1523
01:10:58,212 --> 01:10:59,914
chat. Are they words to describe this?

1524
01:11:00,180 --> 01:11:01,410
Are there words for something so

1525
01:11:01,673 --> 01:11:03,131
despicable? James is kind of like a

1526
01:11:03,374 --> 01:11:05,791
predator and a danger to society. But

1527
01:11:06,074 --> 01:11:08,070
that's like drama though. It's kind of

1528
01:11:08,479 --> 01:11:10,487
like "Hi, everybody. Welcome back to my

1529
01:11:10,752 --> 01:11:14,181
channel". The Freudian Slip. Meanwhile,

1530
01:11:14,623 --> 01:11:16,876
right after this whole Jeffree podcast

1531
01:11:17,170 --> 01:11:19,566
debacle, James Charles goes on impulsive

1532
01:11:20,204 --> 01:11:23,413
which is even Jake Paul's or Logan Paul's

1533
01:11:23,660 --> 01:11:26,110
Podcast. I don't know because I use their

1534
01:11:26,397 --> 01:11:27,922
names interchangeably and I don't know

1535
01:11:28,387 --> 01:11:30,573
who's who but this podcast seems chill

1536
01:11:30,858 --> 01:11:33,762
and it seems inconsequential at first.

1537
01:11:34,078 --> 01:11:36,295
But then James starts dropping bombs

1538
01:11:36,582 --> 01:11:38,875
left and right, like let me show you some

1539
01:11:39,145 --> 01:11:41,576
bullet points of what this man publicly

1540
01:11:41,893 --> 01:11:44,291
admits. A little over an hour into

1541
01:11:44,525 --> 01:11:46,625
the interview, James claims that he is

1542
01:11:46,879 --> 01:11:49,198
far more mature than other people his age.

1543
01:11:49,449 --> 01:11:52,138
By the way, he's currently 21 in this

1544
01:11:52,395 --> 01:11:54,170
interview. Then he then goes on to say

1545
01:11:54,449 --> 01:11:57,192
that he's just not attracted to older

1546
01:11:57,459 --> 01:12:00,295
men and the absolute lowest that he would

1547
01:12:00,560 --> 01:12:03,834
date was either 18 or 19 but looks a

1548
01:12:04,079 --> 01:12:06,104
little bit older and he says the absolute

1549
01:12:06,357 --> 01:12:08,019
lowest that he would date

1550
01:12:08,305 --> 01:12:11,150
The absolute youngest, like 18, 19, that

1551
01:12:11,374 --> 01:12:11,898
looks a little bit older.

1552
01:12:12,143 --> 01:12:14,226
This is already more than a little

1553
01:12:14,476 --> 01:12:16,382
questionable, like what is the point of

1554
01:12:16,648 --> 01:12:20,300
dating somebody who is 18 or 19 but

1555
01:12:21,077 --> 01:12:22,569
looks a little bit older. What is the

1556
01:12:22,813 --> 01:12:25,999
point of them being 18 and you just

1557
01:12:26,264 --> 01:12:28,548
said that you are more mature than

1558
01:12:28,781 --> 01:12:30,691
everyone else your age. So, why do you

1559
01:12:30,923 --> 01:12:32,487
want to date somebody more immature.

1560
01:12:32,769 --> 01:12:34,628
But as if that wasn't bad enough, a few

1561
01:12:34,950 --> 01:12:36,927
minutes later he goes on to say something

1562
01:12:37,215 --> 01:12:40,344
even weirder. He says that he tried to

1563
01:12:40,613 --> 01:12:42,301
fly boys out to LA because a lot

1564
01:12:42,632 --> 01:12:45,503
of them don't have any money or they

1565
01:12:45,751 --> 01:12:47,594
are still in high school or I mean a

1566
01:12:47,851 --> 01:12:48,877
senior in high school.

1567
01:12:49,244 --> 01:12:50,421
Because you can't afford a plane ticket,

1568
01:12:50,673 --> 01:12:51,880
you are probably still in either in high

1569
01:12:52,128 --> 01:12:53,640
school or still in college, a senior in

1570
01:12:53,882 --> 01:12:54,278
high school or in college.

1571
01:12:54,685 --> 01:12:58,278
Oh, so you really said that. Hmmm, and

1572
01:12:58,554 --> 01:12:59,576
who makes mistakes like that.

1573
01:12:59,860 --> 01:13:02,601
There's Madeline here who. Who makes

1574
01:13:02,839 --> 01:13:04,358
that kind of mistake and it's a probably

1575
01:13:04,606 --> 01:13:08,901
a minor. Admitting to outsourcing

1576
01:13:09,203 --> 01:13:11,954
teenagers from other states at the age

1577
01:13:12,217 --> 01:13:17,683
of 21 is crazy. And they didn't even have

1578
01:13:17,967 --> 01:13:19,304
to waterboard that out of him.

1579
01:13:19,593 --> 01:13:22,267
By the way, might I mention that nobody

1580
01:13:22,546 --> 01:13:24,632
had a negative response to this? Like

1581
01:13:25,069 --> 01:13:26,879
the boys on this podcast are just like

1582
01:13:27,152 --> 01:13:29,941
Oh, yeah! Totally! Maybe they just felt

1583
01:13:30,218 --> 01:13:32,658
awkward or wanted to keep the peace. Like

1584
01:13:32,917 --> 01:13:34,986
didn't know what to say. But damn, if that

1585
01:13:35,267 --> 01:13:37,869
was me, I would have a visceral,

1586
01:13:38,164 --> 01:13:41,631
uncontrollable reaction like what? And

1587
01:13:41,884 --> 01:13:44,054
not to be to be grossed ok. But like

1588
01:13:44,309 --> 01:13:46,362
these bold boys that he's outsourcing are

1589
01:13:46,672 --> 01:13:48,373
are literally the same age as his little

1590
01:13:48,662 --> 01:13:50,791
brother. Like does he see his brother

1591
01:13:51,119 --> 01:13:54,464
as in an equal when it comes to maturity

1592
01:13:54,723 --> 01:13:56,347
and growth. Oh yeah, and last question.

1593
01:13:56,657 --> 01:13:59,726
Have you seen every person on Earth

1594
01:14:00,090 --> 01:14:02,350
that is your same age or a little bit

1595
01:14:02,706 --> 01:14:04,237
older than you. Have you? How have you

1596
01:14:04,508 --> 01:14:06,654
already determined that you're not

1597
01:14:06,981 --> 01:14:08,921
attracted to people older than you.

1598
01:14:09,229 --> 01:14:11,825
There's people that older than all of

1599
01:14:12,119 --> 01:14:14,919
us that just look youthful. So what is it

1600
01:14:15,211 --> 01:14:18,211
really about, James? The last thing I

1601
01:14:18,531 --> 01:14:19,996
want to say about this interview, because

1602
01:14:20,266 --> 01:14:21,674
I can honestly talk about it forever, is

1603
01:14:21,941 --> 01:14:24,463
that he also claims that he wouldn't date

1604
01:14:24,762 --> 01:14:25,439
a fan in it.

1605
01:14:25,705 --> 01:14:26,445
You wouldn't date a fan?

1606
01:14:26,759 --> 01:14:27,180
No.

1607
01:14:27,455 --> 01:14:28,373
Just remember that ok?

1608
01:14:28,834 --> 01:14:31,929
On September 1, 2020, James would do a

1609
01:14:32,133 --> 01:14:33,997
collab with Emma Chamberlain, and this was

1610
01:14:34,260 --> 01:14:35,973
the first time that these two would

1611
01:14:36,212 --> 01:14:39,049
reunite since before dramageddon. In an

1612
01:14:39,314 --> 01:14:41,163
interview with the paparazzi, Emma also

1613
01:14:41,466 --> 01:14:43,608
said that her and James weren't in a

1614
01:14:43,903 --> 01:14:45,767
really good place. But when asked about

1615
01:14:46,027 --> 01:14:47,800
the Dolan twins, she basically says

1616
01:14:48,339 --> 01:14:49,293
"Don't hold your breath".

1617
01:14:49,617 --> 01:14:51,412
With the Dolan twins that if

1618
01:14:51,733 --> 01:14:53,252
everybody can get on the same page?

1619
01:14:53,621 --> 01:14:54,254
No promises.

1620
01:14:54,894 --> 01:14:57,902
On September 16, 2020, James would have a

1621
01:14:58,224 --> 01:15:00,553
mini controversy over some allegedly

1622
01:15:00,834 --> 01:15:03,564
stolen designs. Now as you can see here,

1623
01:15:03,881 --> 01:15:06,239
this is a color block, Sister's merch

1624
01:15:06,598 --> 01:15:08,917
hoodie, okay. And now let's compare it

1625
01:15:09,300 --> 01:15:11,164
to a hoodie that was originally designed

1626
01:15:11,536 --> 01:15:15,017
by Teddy Fresh, a.k.a. H Threes brand.

1627
01:15:15,432 --> 01:15:18,425
Well obviously, James' says Sister on the

1628
01:15:18,898 --> 01:15:20,356
front and this one just has like a red

1629
01:15:20,683 --> 01:15:22,240
square that says the fresh.

1630
01:15:22,545 --> 01:15:25,978
The sweater is the exact color grading.

1631
01:15:26,443 --> 01:15:28,548
Like it's the exact same shades and the

1632
01:15:28,807 --> 01:15:30,671
exact same spots. And when James was

1633
01:15:30,950 --> 01:15:33,012
confronted about this, he said he had

1634
01:15:33,302 --> 01:15:35,437
never heard of their brand before. Despite

1635
01:15:35,719 --> 01:15:37,856
the fact that people were quick to point

1636
01:15:38,167 --> 01:15:42,029
out that one of James' best friends, Lorai

1637
01:15:42,489 --> 01:15:45,220
had pictures in that exact Teddy Fresh

1638
01:15:45,522 --> 01:15:48,245
hoodie on his Instagram and was even

1639
01:15:48,562 --> 01:15:50,679
featured on the Teddy Fresh Instagram

1640
01:15:51,112 --> 01:15:53,964
page. And like, obviously, no one owns

1641
01:15:54,267 --> 01:15:56,351
colors. But the fact that they were the

1642
01:15:56,699 --> 01:15:59,454
exact same shades and the same areas.

1643
01:15:59,980 --> 01:16:01,979
It's just a suspicious set of lace.

1644
01:16:02,308 --> 01:16:04,432
Also, just generally speaking, James'

1645
01:16:04,762 --> 01:16:05,705
hoodie is just really ugly.

1646
01:16:06,214 --> 01:16:08,787
In October, James got his very own

1647
01:16:09,136 --> 01:16:11,375
YouTube original show called Instant

1648
01:16:11,740 --> 01:16:14,069
Influencer and it was a competition where

1649
01:16:14,374 --> 01:16:16,587
amateur influencers competed for

1650
01:16:16,998 --> 01:16:20,126
a $10,000 video setup, a collab with

1651
01:16:20,415 --> 01:16:22,960
James Charles, and $50,000 cash.

1652
01:16:23,660 --> 01:16:25,218
And the sheriff evolved around doing

1653
01:16:25,527 --> 01:16:27,926
different challenges. One very noteworthy

1654
01:16:28,255 --> 01:16:30,181
one is in episode where they do an

1655
01:16:30,538 --> 01:16:31,826
apology video challenge.

1656
01:16:32,226 --> 01:16:33,919
I just really want to apologize and I

1657
01:16:34,185 --> 01:16:35,885
want to change. *Sob Sob

1658
01:16:36,176 --> 01:16:38,197
Just, just terribly ironic and if I

1659
01:16:38,623 --> 01:16:41,111
can be completely honest with you guys

1660
01:16:41,470 --> 01:16:44,999
right now. If I had just one teeny James

1661
01:16:45,390 --> 01:16:47,983
Charles wish on a star. It would be that

1662
01:16:48,314 --> 01:16:50,530
Instant Influencer could come back but

1663
01:16:50,856 --> 01:16:52,567
obviously with a different host, because

1664
01:16:52,939 --> 01:16:55,311
this show is actually good. Like

1665
01:16:55,607 --> 01:16:57,535
literally, YouTube, can we get somebody

1666
01:16:57,808 --> 01:17:00,161
else, literally anybody else to host the

1667
01:17:00,474 --> 01:17:02,488
show. I've throw a shower. Let's go!

1668
01:17:02,996 --> 01:17:03,361
Of course, I already spoiled this for you

1669
01:17:04,679 --> 01:17:06,425
but the show does not exist anymore.

1670
01:17:06,755 --> 01:17:09,328
And I'm sure you already guessed why.

1671
01:17:09,751 --> 01:17:12,873
In February of 2021, a minor came forward

1672
01:17:13,384 --> 01:17:15,427
and alleged that James asked him for

1673
01:17:15,813 --> 01:17:18,461
totally explicit photos and videos over

1674
01:17:18,766 --> 01:17:21,264
Snapchat. The minor questioned, posted a

1675
01:17:21,522 --> 01:17:23,368
Tik Tok where he explained that he had

1676
01:17:23,642 --> 01:17:25,566
previously dmed James because he was a

1677
01:17:25,886 --> 01:17:26,399
fan.

1678
01:17:26,733 --> 01:17:27,946
Prove it to you right now. This is the

1679
01:17:28,223 --> 01:17:29,477
notification that I got when he snapchated

1680
01:17:29,764 --> 01:17:31,314
me first and this is further proof that

1681
01:17:31,626 --> 01:17:32,761
he deleted the chat in a way to deleted.

1682
01:17:33,127 --> 01:17:34,587
That's totally in his Snapchat.

1683
01:17:34,835 --> 01:17:36,175
And so he began sending snaps back and

1684
01:17:36,491 --> 01:17:39,518
forth and one day, James saw that he was

1685
01:17:39,954 --> 01:17:41,678
in the bathroom, so he began making the

1686
01:17:41,955 --> 01:17:43,052
conversation very sexual.

1687
01:17:43,621 --> 01:17:45,456
So, he started making the conversation

1688
01:17:45,772 --> 01:17:47,045
very and sexual and really got

1689
01:17:47,557 --> 01:17:47,954
uncomfortable.

1690
01:17:48,288 --> 01:17:50,530
Saying disgusting things like "Take a

1691
01:17:50,815 --> 01:17:52,666
video of yourself in the shower" and "Can

1692
01:17:52,987 --> 01:17:56,081
I see your muscles and hair". He then

1693
01:17:56,343 --> 01:17:58,023
began sending nudes of himself, which

1694
01:17:58,322 --> 01:17:59,950
I cannot show you, but I tell you why

1695
01:18:00,311 --> 01:18:02,531
this. It is very clearly James Charles'

1696
01:18:02,914 --> 01:18:06,297
musty BBL booty. Once he sent these nudes,

1697
01:18:06,778 --> 01:18:09,039
the victim told him that he was only 16,

1698
01:18:09,427 --> 01:18:12,122
to which James allegedly replied, "Oh,

1699
01:18:12,454 --> 01:18:14,001
but I haven't seen your dick yet". Then

1700
01:18:14,335 --> 01:18:16,085
after saying he didn't want to send nudes

1701
01:18:16,816 --> 01:18:18,982
James kept hounding him for them anyways.

1702
01:18:19,431 --> 01:18:22,123
Like, for example, in this screenshot here

1703
01:18:22,498 --> 01:18:24,819
he says, "It would literally take you 30

1704
01:18:25,131 --> 01:18:27,603
seconds to take a pic like this, awww".

1705
01:18:27,851 --> 01:18:29,411
James would later claim that the boy

1706
01:18:29,717 --> 01:18:32,527
told him that he was 18. In a Notes app

1707
01:18:32,841 --> 01:18:34,575
response on Twitter. And until the art in

1708
01:18:34,896 --> 01:18:37,970
lame Twitter notes app thing is that James

1709
01:18:38,231 --> 01:18:40,998
said that the boy messaged him excitedly,

1710
01:18:41,390 --> 01:18:43,863
telling him he loved him. And so, he began

1711
01:18:44,178 --> 01:18:46,565
talking to him without asking for ID.

1712
01:18:46,877 --> 01:18:48,897
And I find this really interesting

1713
01:18:49,226 --> 01:18:51,598
because he just said on the impulsive

1714
01:18:51,921 --> 01:18:54,152
Podcast that he did not want to date a

1715
01:18:54,474 --> 01:18:57,572
fan, but in conclusion he says, "I will

1716
01:18:57,863 --> 01:19:00,048
know be asking everybody for IDs. The

1717
01:19:00,417 --> 01:19:02,111
fact that he's like, I'm still going to

1718
01:19:02,438 --> 01:19:04,627
DM questionably young people but I am

1719
01:19:04,910 --> 01:19:06,690
still going to be asking for IDs now is

1720
01:19:07,045 --> 01:19:10,730
crazy. Also, even if they are 18, like I

1721
01:19:11,044 --> 01:19:13,324
said, seeking out a barely legal

1722
01:19:13,859 --> 01:19:17,876
18-year-old is creepy. Jeebs!

1723
01:19:18,457 --> 01:19:19,441
How does it make it ok? This is still

1724
01:19:19,695 --> 01:19:23,152
your teenage 18. That's a teenager fan.

1725
01:19:23,439 --> 01:19:26,997
Also in February, yet another underage

1726
01:19:27,283 --> 01:19:30,474
fan came forward. This time it was a

1727
01:19:30,787 --> 01:19:34,081
14-year-old and he also said that James

1728
01:19:34,434 --> 01:19:36,439
sent him unsolicited nudes and

1729
01:19:36,785 --> 01:19:38,585
inappropriate videos of himself. This boy

1730
01:19:38,903 --> 01:19:40,448
alleges that he reached out to James

1731
01:19:40,761 --> 01:19:43,661
Charles on a dare, not expecting James

1732
01:19:43,961 --> 01:19:45,786
to answer of course, but when he did,

1733
01:19:46,089 --> 01:19:49,287
he got very excited. Of course, this is

1734
01:19:49,574 --> 01:19:51,536
a famous person so, he wants to talk to

1735
01:19:51,874 --> 01:19:54,161
him. James then added him on Snapchat.

1736
01:19:54,466 --> 01:19:55,458
Are you seeing a pattern?

1737
01:19:55,831 --> 01:19:58,270
Are you seeing this? He claims that James

1738
01:19:58,599 --> 01:20:00,895
kept pressuring him to come out to LA

1739
01:20:01,373 --> 01:20:02,745
and that he was also trying to get him

1740
01:20:03,121 --> 01:20:05,239
to question his sexuality. And remember

1741
01:20:05,783 --> 01:20:07,718
that Impulsive Interview?

1742
01:20:08,209 --> 01:20:09,811
Even they confess that they can't afford

1743
01:20:10,169 --> 01:20:11,994
a plane ticket. It's like ok but I can.

1744
01:20:12,309 --> 01:20:13,207
So, get on the plane.

1745
01:20:13,546 --> 01:20:17,093
Wow, this alleged victim literally thought

1746
01:20:17,453 --> 01:20:20,026
that he was speaking about him in that

1747
01:20:20,340 --> 01:20:22,859
segment. Also, big shout out to Paige

1748
01:20:23,698 --> 01:20:27,302
Christie. I was literally only able to

1749
01:20:27,668 --> 01:20:28,305
find this information from her video. Like

1750
01:20:28,577 --> 01:20:29,374
so much of this has been just like

1751
01:20:29,681 --> 01:20:30,915
scrubbed from the internet, like Big

1752
01:20:31,243 --> 01:20:33,817
Sister is like watching. Trisha Paytas

1753
01:20:34,126 --> 01:20:35,801
replied to this whole situation saying

1754
01:20:36,267 --> 01:20:37,764
like: "I'll say without a shadow of a

1755
01:20:38,032 --> 01:20:40,389
doubt. James Charles in the only creator

1756
01:20:40,680 --> 01:20:42,639
that deserves to be banned and stripped

1757
01:20:42,898 --> 01:20:44,993
from all social platform. He's abusing by

1758
01:20:45,255 --> 01:20:48,171
sexting with minors!!! Repeated behavior

1759
01:20:48,451 --> 01:20:50,686
happening as recent as a few days ago.

1760
01:20:50,948 --> 01:20:53,770
This is an actual predator/pedophile.

1761
01:20:54,025 --> 01:20:55,220
I have to say I'm completely agree

1762
01:20:55,502 --> 01:20:56,602
and I don't know if he's the only one,

1763
01:20:56,883 --> 01:20:59,280
But I do completely agree that he should

1764
01:20:59,536 --> 01:21:03,586
not be on Tik Tok or YouTube or Instagram.

1765
01:21:03,848 --> 01:21:06,102
Like, and it just gets worse. On April 1,

1766
01:21:06,378 --> 01:21:08,654
James would upload "Holding myself

1767
01:21:08,935 --> 01:21:11,290
accountable in response to all of these

1768
01:21:11,542 --> 01:21:14,717
allegations". Yes, it's true he posted a

1769
01:21:14,997 --> 01:21:17,769
response to grooming allegations on April

1770
01:21:18,037 --> 01:21:21,097
1st. Now this video makes me mad from

1771
01:21:21,446 --> 01:21:23,373
beginning to end. He basically says he

1772
01:21:23,673 --> 01:21:25,337
trusted the information that was given

1773
01:21:25,658 --> 01:21:27,548
to him rather than the info that he

1774
01:21:27,789 --> 01:21:29,463
could've or should've gotten himself.

1775
01:21:29,810 --> 01:21:32,761
And yeah, that's true, but I feel like

1776
01:21:33,070 --> 01:21:35,502
he's immediately deflecting from the

1777
01:21:35,980 --> 01:21:38,314
fact that even what you thought you were

1778
01:21:38,592 --> 01:21:41,932
doing is wrong. James then goes on to

1779
01:21:42,187 --> 01:21:44,650
list being desperate for the reason for

1780
01:21:44,918 --> 01:21:47,769
why he makes all these dating faux paus.

1781
01:21:48,135 --> 01:21:50,171
And it is ridiculously embarrassing to

1782
01:21:50,442 --> 01:21:52,351
admit this but I'm desperate.

1783
01:21:52,629 --> 01:21:56,455
And then he starts bracingly lying like

1784
01:21:56,729 --> 01:22:01,347
outright like a dog, lying. He says that I

1785
01:22:01,699 --> 01:22:03,518
will partially quote so that I don't have

1786
01:22:03,770 --> 01:22:05,608
to play like a long clip and get

1787
01:22:05,840 --> 01:22:06,898
copyrighted or something. It's really

1788
01:22:07,149 --> 01:22:09,273
looking like I'm an actively searching for

1789
01:22:09,619 --> 01:22:11,548
younger people to be in a relationship

1790
01:22:11,853 --> 01:22:13,895
with and that's absolutely not the case.

1791
01:22:14,241 --> 01:22:15,600
My hope is that it always been in

1792
01:22:15,963 --> 01:22:17,226
a relationship with somebody around my

1793
01:22:17,443 --> 01:22:17,866
age or older.

1794
01:22:18,172 --> 01:22:21,404
Hey, wait a minute! Isn't this the exact

1795
01:22:21,682 --> 01:22:24,257
opposite thing of what you said earlier

1796
01:22:24,612 --> 01:22:25,585
this year.

1797
01:22:25,879 --> 01:22:27,585
I'm not physically attracted to older

1798
01:22:27,832 --> 01:22:28,621
guys which sucks.

1799
01:22:28,885 --> 01:22:30,525
He concludes the video with a detailed

1800
01:22:30,777 --> 01:22:33,210
description of how he came to the

1801
01:22:33,540 --> 01:22:34,685
realization that him talking to fans

1802
01:22:34,949 --> 01:22:37,783
created a power imbalance and that from

1803
01:22:38,036 --> 01:22:39,533
the get go he should of never had these

1804
01:22:39,766 --> 01:22:41,460
conversations to begin with because he

1805
01:22:41,714 --> 01:22:45,617
ignored red flags. Wave the red flags is

1806
01:22:45,855 --> 01:22:49,820
IOU. I have to saw is while this apology

1807
01:22:50,082 --> 01:22:52,277
video is definitely not is well received

1808
01:22:52,610 --> 01:22:53,530
and we will talk about it in a second.

1809
01:22:53,840 --> 01:22:56,426
He is pretty clever. I will say that.

1810
01:22:56,880 --> 01:23:00,226
His use of language really disassociates

1811
01:23:00,515 --> 01:23:03,331
himself with the facts of everything. He

1812
01:23:03,547 --> 01:23:03,971
says, for example.

1813
01:23:04,300 --> 01:23:06,621
And for that, for the example, so, so

1814
01:23:07,952 --> 01:23:08,290
sorry.

1815
01:23:08,583 --> 01:23:10,724
Okay, these are kids and these are not

1816
01:23:10,972 --> 01:23:13,389
just victims, they're your victims.

1817
01:23:13,691 --> 01:23:15,979
Ironically, holding myself accountable

1818
01:23:16,272 --> 01:23:18,793
would later be deleted. Later that month,

1819
01:23:19,079 --> 01:23:21,059
Morphee would release a statement saying

1820
01:23:21,310 --> 01:23:23,277
that they are permanently cutting ties

1821
01:23:23,499 --> 01:23:25,615
with James. But in the eyes of a lot of

1822
01:23:25,846 --> 01:23:28,131
fans, this was too little too late.

1823
01:23:28,416 --> 01:23:30,238
In light of the recent allegations against

1824
01:23:30,491 --> 01:23:32,694
James Charles, Morphee and James

1825
01:23:32,966 --> 01:23:35,180
have agreed to leave and our business

1826
01:23:35,400 --> 01:23:38,091
relationship and wine down sales of the

1827
01:23:38,336 --> 01:23:40,713
Morphe x James Charles product offering.

1828
01:23:41,025 --> 01:23:43,844
It is and has always been Morphe's goal

1829
01:23:44,117 --> 01:23:46,061
to create a positive, safe and

1830
01:23:46,309 --> 01:23:48,957
empowering space for all beauty lovers can

1831
01:23:49,191 --> 01:23:51,838
freely share their artistry and passion

1832
01:23:52,111 --> 01:23:54,231
for cosmetics. And Morphe is fully

1833
01:23:54,693 --> 01:23:56,567
committed in furthering that goal. I don't

1834
01:23:56,806 --> 01:23:59,730
know too much about PR but fuck all

1835
01:23:59,974 --> 01:24:01,900
if that wasn't really bad. First of all,

1836
01:24:02,152 --> 01:24:05,463
waited weeks to say anything and

1837
01:24:05,697 --> 01:24:07,270
when they finally did, they were

1838
01:24:07,518 --> 01:24:11,356
like we and James have decided to scale

1839
01:24:11,629 --> 01:24:14,935
back. Like, what do you mean we? Fans

1840
01:24:14,935 --> 01:24:16,519
were also quick to point out that all the

1841
01:24:17,003 --> 01:24:19,690
James Charles products were still being

1842
01:24:19,933 --> 01:24:23,032
sold at full price on their website. This

1843
01:24:23,305 --> 01:24:25,294
same week, YouTube announced that they

1844
01:24:25,568 --> 01:24:27,798
would be temporarily demonetizing James'

1845
01:24:28,049 --> 01:24:30,397
channel and as a result of all this, James

1846
01:24:30,670 --> 01:24:32,651
took a four month break off of social

1847
01:24:32,872 --> 01:24:34,806
media. When he returned he posted a

1848
01:24:35,042 --> 01:24:37,109
selfie on Instagram and announced that he

1849
01:24:37,364 --> 01:24:39,845
just posted a video called "An Open

1850
01:24:40,129 --> 01:24:42,707
Conversation" and I will say that this is

1851
01:24:42,944 --> 01:24:46,525
incredible on brand the worst way. Now the

1852
01:24:46,778 --> 01:24:49,259
comments on "An Open Conversation" are

1853
01:24:49,583 --> 01:24:51,736
so funny and this is this is the first

1854
01:24:51,955 --> 01:24:53,964
time that I have truly felt and notice

1855
01:24:54,236 --> 01:24:56,609
that there were so many people just done

1856
01:24:57,334 --> 01:24:59,426
with him. Like this video only has six

1857
01:24:59,725 --> 01:25:01,128
million views and I know that that's a

1858
01:25:01,374 --> 01:25:03,313
lot still, but in comparison to other

1859
01:25:03,671 --> 01:25:06,250
videos, even such as taking accountability

1860
01:25:06,541 --> 01:25:09,664
there was a huge dip in viewership. And

1861
01:25:09,943 --> 01:25:11,696
these people made the right call for

1862
01:25:11,950 --> 01:25:13,915
obvious reasons, and were also

1863
01:25:14,190 --> 01:25:17,321
fortunate enough to not bear witness to

1864
01:25:17,605 --> 01:25:20,098
this video turning into a makeup get ready

1865
01:25:20,337 --> 01:25:21,909
with me at the 4 minute mark.

1866
01:25:22,216 --> 01:25:23,881
An you guys know I posted my

1867
01:25:24,127 --> 01:25:24,951
"Holding Myself Accountable" video.

1868
01:25:25,329 --> 01:25:28,526
Absolutely dystopian fear. Getting sued!

1869
01:25:28,826 --> 01:25:31,831
In the following month of May, a former

1870
01:25:32,270 --> 01:25:34,992
employee of James, named Kelly Rocklein

1871
01:25:35,347 --> 01:25:38,177
sued James for wrongful termination.

1872
01:25:38,458 --> 01:25:40,541
And, let me just read you one of these

1873
01:25:40,789 --> 01:25:42,766
headlines so you can get the full gravity

1874
01:25:43,122 --> 01:25:43,945
of this situation.

1875
01:25:44,535 --> 01:25:49,049
James Charles' ex-employee speaks out

1876
01:25:49,308 --> 01:25:52,052
about lawsuit, claiming he didn't pay

1877
01:25:52,290 --> 01:25:55,041
overtime and asked her to shave his

1878
01:25:55,351 --> 01:25:56,390
butt. Ummmmm.

1879
01:25:57,245 --> 01:25:59,347
To get into the nitty gritty, the

1880
01:25:59,635 --> 01:26:01,799
specifics of the suit though, she

1881
01:26:02,032 --> 01:26:04,309
alleges that one, James had her working

1882
01:26:04,572 --> 01:26:08,197
12-hour days, seven days a week. Two,

1883
01:26:08,479 --> 01:26:10,528
that when she was promoted from video

1884
01:26:10,811 --> 01:26:12,885
editor to producer, he didn't hire

1885
01:26:13,166 --> 01:26:14,783
anybody to take over the former

1886
01:26:15,075 --> 01:26:18,210
position, so she was left doing both.

1887
01:26:18,502 --> 01:26:20,257
Three, she was not paid overtime for

1888
01:26:20,522 --> 01:26:22,754
any of this, and four, that she had

1889
01:26:22,996 --> 01:26:24,543
suffered a head injury in front of James

1890
01:26:24,896 --> 01:26:27,105
Charles. To quote this business insider

1891
01:26:27,359 --> 01:26:29,585
article directly, the head injury resulted

1892
01:26:29,844 --> 01:26:31,186
in her experiencing headaches,

1893
01:26:31,481 --> 01:26:33,496
temporarily loss of consciousness,

1894
01:26:33,781 --> 01:26:37,245
confusion, amnesia and other ailments,

1895
01:26:37,536 --> 01:26:39,192
according to the complaint. She alleges

1896
01:26:39,426 --> 01:26:40,950
Charles was not sympathetic to her

1897
01:26:41,210 --> 01:26:44,302
recovery needs and callously accused her

1898
01:26:44,533 --> 01:26:47,314
of not being dedicated to her job as a

1899
01:26:47,615 --> 01:26:49,408
result of her work being delayed when

1900
01:26:49,696 --> 01:26:51,794
she was hospitalized. And right after

1901
01:26:52,074 --> 01:26:54,253
Kelly returned from being hospitalized,

1902
01:26:54,524 --> 01:26:57,242
she was fired, despite never having

1903
01:26:57,505 --> 01:26:59,808
received negative feedback. Kelly also

1904
01:27:00,079 --> 01:27:03,150
alleges that James used the n-word in

1905
01:27:03,380 --> 01:27:05,311
front of her with the R & R and everything

1906
01:27:05,596 --> 01:27:08,847
More on the ass situation, Kelly says

1907
01:27:09,085 --> 01:27:11,513
that James walked around the house naked

1908
01:27:11,800 --> 01:27:14,709
and call her names like "bitch" and once

1909
01:27:14,971 --> 01:27:17,813
texted her, "Kelly, I need help shaving

1910
01:27:18,044 --> 01:27:20,654
my butt in preparation for a revealing

1911
01:27:20,942 --> 01:27:22,420
Coachella outfit. James ha since publicly

1912
01:27:22,692 --> 01:27:25,519
denied all of this in a lengthy Twitter

1913
01:27:25,785 --> 01:27:26,162
video.

1914
01:27:26,459 --> 01:27:28,083
Just the craziest claims you can ever

1915
01:27:28,291 --> 01:27:28,931
imagine.

1916
01:27:29,210 --> 01:27:30,949
But the suit is still ongoing.

1917
01:27:31,304 --> 01:27:33,506
Although, I will say I can totally see him

1918
01:27:33,753 --> 01:27:35,493
doing all these things. Kelly, get behind

1919
01:27:35,733 --> 01:27:38,934
me. 2022 was a relatively quiet year for

1920
01:27:39,213 --> 01:27:41,585
this MF. Like, his only controversy was

1921
01:27:41,899 --> 01:27:44,521
talking on Instagram and twerking while

1922
01:27:44,827 --> 01:27:46,751
talked which resulted in him losing

1923
01:27:47,033 --> 01:27:50,972
130,000 followers in a day and I won't

1924
01:27:51,223 --> 01:27:52,998
show you that video here because you don't

1925
01:27:53,253 --> 01:27:55,760
deserve that. Everybody say "Thank you

1926
01:27:55,965 --> 01:27:58,681
Nikki!" And by the way, if you didn't

1927
01:27:58,999 --> 01:28:00,855
unfollow him for the groping but you did

1928
01:28:01,101 --> 01:28:02,900
for the talking and the twerking, I don't

1929
01:28:03,132 --> 01:28:04,822
know. It might be time for me to take

1930
01:28:05,091 --> 01:28:06,188
you out behind the barn and shoot you.

1931
01:28:06,500 --> 01:28:09,359
Since May 6, 2023, Morphe would end up

1932
01:28:09,627 --> 01:28:12,385
closing all of it's stores and this was a

1933
01:28:12,634 --> 01:28:15,129
crazy thing to happen for anybody who was

1934
01:28:15,408 --> 01:28:18,634
really into makeup in 2019 and 2020.

1935
01:28:18,918 --> 01:28:21,629
Like, it was a very popular store to the

1936
01:28:21,932 --> 01:28:25,431
point where it was valued at $2 billion at

1937
01:28:25,670 --> 01:28:27,316
it's peak, but the company had made the

1938
01:28:27,550 --> 01:28:30,445
unfortunate decision of fully investing

1939
01:28:30,730 --> 01:28:33,396
into James Charles and Jeffree Starr to

1940
01:28:33,700 --> 01:28:36,281
be the focal point of their stores,

1941
01:28:36,576 --> 01:28:40,017
especially James, like seriously I did not

1942
01:28:40,275 --> 01:28:42,868
know what the hell Morphe was before his

1943
01:28:43,130 --> 01:28:45,203
palette. The brand name had kind of become

1944
01:28:45,465 --> 01:28:47,665
synonymous with James, like he was their

1945
01:28:48,011 --> 01:28:50,864
most successful product. In other words,

1946
01:28:51,161 --> 01:28:53,473
James Charles is virtually the reason why

1947
01:28:53,778 --> 01:28:56,760
Morphe died. Like, that is very crazy to

1948
01:28:57,014 --> 01:28:59,177
think about. Bro brought down an entire

1949
01:28:59,450 --> 01:29:03,623
industry. On July 13, 2023, Cosmopolitan

1950
01:29:03,925 --> 01:29:06,030
published an article about James titled

1951
01:29:06,305 --> 01:29:08,112
"James Charles would like to be

1952
01:29:08,362 --> 01:29:11,368
uncancelled, please". This article, quite

1953
01:29:11,624 --> 01:29:14,211
frankly, is a blasphemous peace of trash.

1954
01:29:14,521 --> 01:29:16,609
Honestly, the woman who wrote it,

1955
01:29:16,870 --> 01:29:19,533
Gabrielle Bluestone should have to serve

1956
01:29:19,767 --> 01:29:21,604
public service for 6 months, just for

1957
01:29:22,076 --> 01:29:22,825
writing this shit, because it is so foul

1958
01:29:24,133 --> 01:29:25,887
you need to picking things up on the

1959
01:29:26,125 --> 01:29:28,261
highway. Get out of here. Let me just

1960
01:29:28,504 --> 01:29:29,749
read you a direct quote from here.

1961
01:29:30,058 --> 01:29:32,377
It's no surprise that a star's willingness

1962
01:29:32,660 --> 01:29:34,812
to answer any intimate questions about a

1963
01:29:35,111 --> 01:29:36,737
catastrophic stretch of their lives,

1964
01:29:37,031 --> 01:29:40,090
including pieces dramatically when they

1965
01:29:40,352 --> 01:29:41,470
have a project to promote. In today's

1966
01:29:41,762 --> 01:29:44,044
case, that is ostensibly Charles' new

1967
01:29:44,317 --> 01:29:46,242
makeup line "Painted". But it's also

1968
01:29:46,520 --> 01:29:49,698
Charles himself. This very interview is to

1969
01:29:49,995 --> 01:29:52,592
be a triplum. It's reception, the answer

1970
01:29:52,916 --> 01:29:55,736
to the question both of us and maybe

1971
01:29:56,006 --> 01:29:58,184
you, too. If what auto-populates in

1972
01:29:59,038 --> 01:30:00,790
Google search can be believed, are here to

1973
01:30:01,054 --> 01:30:04,241
ask, "Is James Charles still cancelled?"

1974
01:30:04,558 --> 01:30:07,658
So, that alone, basically self-diagnoses

1975
01:30:07,924 --> 01:30:10,917
itself that it purely exists for James to

1976
01:30:11,406 --> 01:30:14,701
win over public brownie points, so that

1977
01:30:14,984 --> 01:30:17,417
his new makeup line can do better.

1978
01:30:17,662 --> 01:30:19,679
Bluestone also writes, "When I pulled

1979
01:30:20,024 --> 01:30:22,491
friends and colleagues about Charles in

1980
01:30:22,767 --> 01:30:24,845
the run-up to this state, the general

1981
01:30:25,253 --> 01:30:26,730
consensus was that he had done

1982
01:30:27,048 --> 01:30:29,351
something bad, but no one was clear on

1983
01:30:29,596 --> 01:30:32,688
exactly what. This to me feels like her

1984
01:30:32,968 --> 01:30:35,714
claiming that these random civilians in

1985
01:30:35,983 --> 01:30:38,053
her office not knowing what James Charles

1986
01:30:38,371 --> 01:30:40,839
did is evidence that he hasn't done

1987
01:30:41,197 --> 01:30:44,667
anything that serious or at least less

1988
01:30:44,949 --> 01:30:46,870
serious than people are making it out to

1989
01:30:47,156 --> 01:30:48,667
be. Would is a real logical hootenanny,

1990
01:30:49,010 --> 01:30:50,598
I tell you that. The article then goes on

1991
01:30:50,855 --> 01:30:55,211
to say the wildest like, like...

1992
01:30:55,649 --> 01:30:58,476
My cat's looking at me. He's more cautious

1993
01:30:58,785 --> 01:31:01,777
now, although not so much that he's giving

1994
01:31:02,053 --> 01:31:04,856
up on the DM sliding completely. Instead,

1995
01:31:05,178 --> 01:31:08,136
he started requiring potential romantic

1996
01:31:08,396 --> 01:31:10,863
interests to provide ids before he'll

1997
01:31:11,136 --> 01:31:13,541
engage. I'm a club bouncer at this point,

1998
01:31:14,061 --> 01:31:16,274
he says, which even still hasn't stopped

1999
01:31:16,540 --> 01:31:18,563
the occasional breach of trust.

2000
01:31:18,846 --> 01:31:21,432
Earlier this year, a TikTok user shared

2001
01:31:21,719 --> 01:31:23,641
snippets of a flirtatious conversation he

2002
01:31:23,938 --> 01:31:26,667
had with Charles and which outlines his

2003
01:31:26,920 --> 01:31:28,782
requirements for a boyfriend. Charles

2004
01:31:29,052 --> 01:31:30,735
also tells me he recently caught a

2005
01:31:31,028 --> 01:31:33,890
17-year-old trying to lie about his age by

2006
01:31:34,126 --> 01:31:36,643
taking out a digit on his ID. And when she

2007
01:31:36,935 --> 01:31:39,837
asked James why, he wouldn't just use a

2008
01:31:40,085 --> 01:31:42,628
regular dating app to find a partner, he

2009
01:31:42,878 --> 01:31:44,370
basically says that he feels to exposed

2010
01:31:44,627 --> 01:31:46,722
on apps and that anybody can take a screen

2011
01:31:46,979 --> 01:31:49,552
shot of his profile and brag and tell

2012
01:31:49,796 --> 01:31:52,580
their friends about it. Ummm and ahhh,

2013
01:31:52,813 --> 01:31:54,001
but ummm, I don't know how to say this

2014
01:31:54,248 --> 01:31:57,912
nicely so, Are you stupid? How is talking

2015
01:31:58,189 --> 01:32:01,020
to people on social media any less risky

2016
01:32:01,314 --> 01:32:03,868
than using a dating app. The article just

2017
01:32:04,140 --> 01:32:06,942
got done saying that somebody leaked a

2018
01:32:07,229 --> 01:32:09,588
private DM on to the internet that was

2019
01:32:09,826 --> 01:32:11,491
from Instagram. It wasn't from a dating

2020
01:32:11,680 --> 01:32:13,595
app. It's also from a dating app you can

2021
01:32:13,828 --> 01:32:16,984
instantly verify like somebody's age. You

2022
01:32:17,184 --> 01:32:19,056
can investigate whether or not there are

2023
01:32:19,282 --> 01:32:21,185
catfish. You can investigate their social

2024
01:32:21,437 --> 01:32:23,724
media, if they have a link to the profile.

2025
01:32:24,027 --> 01:32:27,242
And so, at this point, I really have no

2026
01:32:27,534 --> 01:32:29,738
choice to assume that this isn't just

2027
01:32:29,992 --> 01:32:32,973
stupidity. It's malicious. Because you

2028
01:32:33,245 --> 01:32:36,540
know who's not on dating apps? Minors!

2029
01:32:37,227 --> 01:32:40,623
In September of 2023, James was seen

2030
01:32:40,884 --> 01:32:44,229
asking for a 17-year-old's age on a

2031
01:32:44,229 --> 01:32:45,874
TikTok live stream. And I mean, do I even

2032
01:32:46,543 --> 01:32:48,238
have to say anything? This is a direct

2033
01:32:48,506 --> 01:32:51,693
result of the same repeated behavior over

2034
01:32:51,946 --> 01:32:53,749
and over again. I found this clip from

2035
01:32:54,013 --> 01:32:56,128
Frenemies of all places that kind of

2036
01:32:56,377 --> 01:32:58,002
perfectly summarizes how I feel about

2037
01:32:58,272 --> 01:32:58,662
this.

2038
01:32:58,959 --> 01:32:59,893
Because you know what? These people

2039
01:33:00,118 --> 01:33:01,148
who are sick like this? They keep doing

2040
01:33:01,400 --> 01:33:03,276
it, but sick people can't help themselves

2041
01:33:03,675 --> 01:33:04,264
but do it again.

2042
01:33:04,498 --> 01:33:07,492
A normal person would have stopped. A

2043
01:33:07,709 --> 01:33:10,002
predator cannot help themselves.

2044
01:33:10,338 --> 01:33:14,376
In January of 2024, another boy would

2045
01:33:14,612 --> 01:33:16,700
come forward with claims that James had

2046
01:33:16,935 --> 01:33:19,067
talked to him inappropriately while he was

2047
01:33:19,290 --> 01:33:21,510
a minor, and this boy actually has a

2048
01:33:21,792 --> 01:33:24,514
screen shot of James sliding in his DMs

2049
01:33:24,816 --> 01:33:27,750
and saying "Age Check!".

2050
01:33:28,018 --> 01:33:30,656
He dmmed me that and I responded and I

2051
01:33:30,938 --> 01:33:32,824
said, " I am a very mature 16."

2052
01:33:33,208 --> 01:33:34,626
And, something that made me very sad

2053
01:33:34,868 --> 01:33:37,580
about this TikTok, where he talks about

2054
01:33:37,821 --> 01:33:40,054
all the inappropriate conversations that

2055
01:33:40,250 --> 01:33:42,267
they had was that had he says "I know

2056
01:33:42,488 --> 01:33:43,632
I shouldn't have been talking to him like

2057
01:33:43,834 --> 01:33:45,663
that. I know I had no business talking to

2058
01:33:45,869 --> 01:33:46,488
him like this.

2059
01:33:46,776 --> 01:33:48,042
Now I understand, right off the bat,

2060
01:33:48,513 --> 01:33:49,945
I shouldn't be talking like that or

2061
01:33:50,164 --> 01:33:52,116
chatting to like entice them.

2062
01:33:52,370 --> 01:33:54,737
It is just self-blaming of it all. It's

2063
01:33:54,971 --> 01:33:58,186
just.. It's said. Please allow me to just

2064
01:33:58,408 --> 01:34:00,839
like armchair/psychology this man for a

2065
01:34:01,066 --> 01:34:02,647
moment. James keeps getting himself into

2066
01:34:02,915 --> 01:34:06,675
these situations, right? And he blames it

2067
01:34:06,929 --> 01:34:09,042
on the fact that he can't meet people and

2068
01:34:09,327 --> 01:34:11,448
the way normal people can, but

2069
01:34:11,722 --> 01:34:14,835
riddle me this? Why is he the only person

2070
01:34:15,080 --> 01:34:17,314
with this problem. Like, do you know

2071
01:34:17,854 --> 01:34:21,434
how many gay influencers are in L.A. that

2072
01:34:21,705 --> 01:34:23,216
do not have this issue? Do you know how

2073
01:34:23,482 --> 01:34:25,761
many people, in general, just don't have

2074
01:34:26,113 --> 01:34:28,856
this issue? And I think what makes James

2075
01:34:29,143 --> 01:34:33,516
especially dangerous to be online is that

2076
01:34:33,768 --> 01:34:36,949
when he talks, he doesn't seem like a

2077
01:34:37,245 --> 01:34:40,851
manipulative monster. Quite the contrary,

2078
01:34:41,045 --> 01:34:43,574
actually. He's very well put together. He

2079
01:34:43,810 --> 01:34:46,294
can seem fun. He can seem creative and I

2080
01:34:46,514 --> 01:34:48,381
feel that that leaves his audience extra

2081
01:34:48,625 --> 01:34:51,302
susceptible to him. And to be honest at

2082
01:34:51,530 --> 01:34:54,276
this point, I think the only people that

2083
01:34:54,535 --> 01:34:57,191
start to watch him are younger teens that

2084
01:34:57,426 --> 01:34:59,693
just genuinely don't even know any of

2085
01:34:59,946 --> 01:35:02,438
this happened. James literally committed

2086
01:35:02,696 --> 01:35:06,604
a crime and he's not in jail. So, saying

2087
01:35:06,973 --> 01:35:10,922
that he should leave all social media is a

2088
01:35:11,171 --> 01:35:14,604
very light, light sentence. Like, my

2089
01:35:14,912 --> 01:35:16,413
brother in Christ, he should be in jail,

2090
01:35:16,700 --> 01:35:18,744
but he can't even do that and he's still

2091
01:35:19,014 --> 01:35:20,864
using social media the same way that

2092
01:35:21,208 --> 01:35:23,428
he's always has, as if none of this even

2093
01:35:23,688 --> 01:35:25,846
happened. It's ridiculous and as of was,

2094
01:35:26,557 --> 01:35:30,536
I can't help but wonder why with people.

2095
01:35:30,821 --> 01:35:33,823
I desperately want answers where there

2096
01:35:34,371 --> 01:35:37,812
are none like all of the time. And so when

2097
01:35:38,118 --> 01:35:40,864
it comes to people like James, I look at

2098
01:35:41,117 --> 01:35:42,387
pictures of them from when they were

2099
01:35:42,617 --> 01:35:45,346
younger. I think about how in this video.

2100
01:35:45,643 --> 01:35:49,111
James is just a few years younger than

2101
01:35:49,362 --> 01:35:51,268
somebody who he would prey on. It's so

2102
01:35:51,551 --> 01:35:53,959
disturbing that it almost makes me feel

2103
01:35:54,236 --> 01:35:55,978
bad for the person, because they

2104
01:35:57,057 --> 01:36:00,541
live as a piece of shit every day. To me,

2105
01:36:01,121 --> 01:36:03,801
to be so schemey and strange and creepy

2106
01:36:04,048 --> 01:36:07,087
seems very tiring. And this is just

2107
01:36:07,416 --> 01:36:09,920
a side tangent, but I always think about,

2108
01:36:10,192 --> 01:36:12,715
as somebody who has been through grooming,

2109
01:36:13,001 --> 01:36:15,014
is like no matter what, I would always

2110
01:36:15,391 --> 01:36:19,375
choose to be the victim rather than be

2111
01:36:19,744 --> 01:36:21,542
the person that hurts people. That's

2112
01:36:21,824 --> 01:36:23,876
just some food for thought. Like the idea

2113
01:36:24,171 --> 01:36:27,082
of being this person is ewwww!

2114
01:36:27,383 --> 01:36:30,150
That is about all I have for today though.

2115
01:36:30,484 --> 01:36:31,534
That is about all i can stomach.

2116
01:36:31,844 --> 01:36:34,603
Ummm, thank you so much for watching and

2117
01:36:34,917 --> 01:36:37,046
if you would like to see more videos, like

2118
01:36:37,373 --> 01:36:39,629
in this format, that would be cool.

2119
01:36:39,960 --> 01:36:41,698
I really do like, like putting together

2120
01:36:41,901 --> 01:36:43,469
all these slide shows. Big thank you

2121
01:36:43,705 --> 01:36:45,763
to my patrons! You guys are awesome!

2122
01:36:46,053 --> 01:36:48,977
I appreciate you so much and it is

2123
01:36:49,225 --> 01:36:51,494
actually, really wonderful to see so many

2124
01:36:51,718 --> 01:36:53,784
people connect into a little

2125
01:36:54,025 --> 01:36:56,075
community and the discord. You guys

2126
01:36:56,316 --> 01:36:58,081
are amazing. Before we go though, I also

2127
01:36:58,356 --> 01:36:59,827
did want to talk a little bit about

2128
01:37:00,111 --> 01:37:02,784
a fundraiser that I started about 2

2129
01:37:03,067 --> 01:37:04,929
weeks ago, called "Creators for

2130
01:37:05,259 --> 01:37:07,450
Palestine". This fundraiser is now

2131
01:37:07,756 --> 01:37:11,393
comprised of over a hundred creators and

2132
01:37:11,692 --> 01:37:16,329
we have so far raised over $700,000 for

2133
01:37:16,567 --> 01:37:19,608
Palestinian relief, which is insane.

2134
01:37:19,939 --> 01:37:22,718
Um, I did not expect this many amazing

2135
01:37:22,969 --> 01:37:25,805
people to get involved for us to actually

2136
01:37:26,110 --> 01:37:30,242
have a goal this large. Um, if you

2137
01:37:30,506 --> 01:37:31,803
like to support us, we are actually doing

2138
01:37:32,055 --> 01:37:36,030
a huge live stream on Thursday, the 30th.

2139
01:37:36,353 --> 01:37:38,038
I believe this video is coming out on a

2140
01:37:38,268 --> 01:37:40,781
Monday so this is just a few days away.

2141
01:37:41,063 --> 01:37:42,884
If you want to show your support, sharing,

2142
01:37:43,203 --> 01:37:46,441
or donating, that would be amazing.

2143
01:37:46,741 --> 01:37:47,867
Thank you so much for taking that time to

2144
01:37:48,128 --> 01:37:49,371
listen to me and, um, I will see you guys

2145
01:37:50,151 --> 01:37:53,050
very soon.
